We almost didn’t recognize his cute young guy without his famous father. It’s Connor Cruise, 14, and he’s growing up to be quite handsome. He’s already an actor – he’s appeared in “Australia” with his mother Nicole Kidman, and “Seven Pounds” with his dad’s good friend Will Smith, and he landed a role in the remake of “Red Dawn,” currently filming. It must be nice to take a break from that Scientology home schooling.

Tom Cruise and Victoria Beckham and the kids watched in horror as their hero David Beckham was loudly BOOED by outraged LA Galaxy fans during his first game back Sunday. Angry fans never let up – every time Beckham got near the ball they booed and chanted and yelled “Traitor!” And they held up giant signs saying things like “Go home, fraud!” Fans are irked because after David signed a mega-deal with Galaxy, he decided he wants to play for Milan instead. They feel betrayed and want him to know it. Victoria and Tom could only wince.

TOM CRUISE'S HOME AWAY FROM HOME IN NASHVILLE

Tom Cruise would want you to know about this. Scientologists are opening a new “Celebrity Centre” in Nashville in a 36000 square foot building that was once an elementary school. A “Celebrity Centre” is where the Scientologists entertain members with money. The space isn’t even refurbished yet, and already the Anonymous protesters have showed up with signs that say “Religion is Free – Scientology is neither” and “Honk If You Think Scientology is a Cult.” They’re getting lots of honks.

IS DUSTIN HOFFMAN STILL SOFT ON SCIENTOLOGY?

Filed Under: Dustin Hoffman > Germany > Scientology > Tom Cruise

Dustin Hoffman took his daughter shopping at A.P.C. in Soho. He must be the shortest one in his family. We’re sure he MEANT well, but Dustin was one of the Hollywood stars who signed an open letter in 1997 to then German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, PROTESTING the treatment of Scientologists in Germany. Fortunately, Chancellor Kohl ignored the Hollywood letter and Germany has gone farther than any other Western European country to RESTRICT the rights of Scientologists. Germans regard Scientology not as a religion but as a profit making enterprise and a cult. In fact, several prominent Germans have compared Tom Cruise to Goebbels the Nazi propaganda minister. We wonder if Dustin still supports Scientology.

TOM CRUISE IS AVOIDING CONFRONTATIONS

THESE are the demonstrators that caused Tom Cruise to sneak into his own “Valkyrie” premier through an underground tunnel. He didn’t want to come face to face with them so he was furtively smuggled into the Director’s Guild in West Hollywood. Once inside, he posed with movie posters, and appears to have lost some weight.

TOM CRUISE CAN'T ESCAPE THE SCIENTOLOGY PROTESTS

Tom Cruise successfully made amends with Matt Lauer on the Today show. But nowadays, wherever Tom goes, anti-Scientology demonstrators show up with signs, and they’re getting more creative all the time. They’re always careful to be polite and non-aggressive, and make their points without being offensive. This protestor popped up outside when Tom arrived for his appearance.

SURI CRUISE IS GETTING BIGGER BY THE MINUTE

Tom Cruise is starting to look short – EVEN next to his two and a half year old daughter Suri. (If, indeed, that is her age.) In this photo she looks quite tall, in fact over half his size. Soon she won’t be so easy to carry.

TOM CRUISE HAS MANY REASONS TO BE HAPPY

Tom Cruise looks pleased as punch as he leaves his New York apartment in the company of David and Victoria Beckham. He took them to a matinee of Katie’s play “All My Sons.” We’re not sure if Tom looks pleased because he’s proud of Katie’s work, or because just being with the Beckhams means he’s pulling them closer to Scientology.

TOM CRUISE AND SURI: DADDY'S HOME AND BABY'S IN BLACK

Filed Under: Kids > Suri > Tom Cruise

It’s amazing how often Suri Cruise is photographed – and so frequently in appealing situations. She certainly increased the photo value of he parents. While Katie was busy doing other things, Tom Cruise took his little girl to the Build a Bear Workshop on 5th Avenue. Father and daughter both dressed in black for the occasion – she’s turning into a real New York girl. No elevator shoes here – Tom never has to worry about looking short when he’s with Suri.

WILL SMITH INSISTS HE IS NOT A SCIENTOLOGIST

Filed Under: Anonymous > Jada Pinkett > L Ron Hubbard > School > Scientology > Tom Cruise > Will Smith

Will Smith must be getting worried that his connection to Scientology might be damaging his career or turning off his fans. On Monday the LA anti-Scientology group Anonymous was picketing the Scientology linked school (called the New Village Leadership Academy) that Will is opening. The school admits to using L Ron Hubbard’s “Study Tech” method for educating kids. Imagine the protesters surprise when Will showed up in person to chat with them! Will stated firmly “I am NOT a Scientologist.” Will went on to say that his son used the Scientology Study Tech method to learn to read and he became an avid reader, so Will likes the technique. The Anon people pointed out that using the study technique glorified Hubbard and Scientology. Will declared that his school had NO religious agenda and he would look into concerns brought up by protesters. Will admitted he didn’t know if the school was paying Scientology to use the teaching technique. The Anonymous group was favorably impressed with his earnest tone, but they remain vigilant. WE think that Tom Cruise’s buddy Jada Pinkett Smith is pulling the strings behind the scenes here, and that SHE is committed to Scientology more than Will.

KATIE HOLMES' OPENING NIGHT FOR ALL MY SONS WILL BE HUGE

Katie Holmes has been worried about ticket sales for her Broadway debut in All My Sons on September 18 – they’ve been selling slower than anticipated. (Although why SHE should feel solely responsible for ticket sales is a mystery.) Be that as it may, opening night will be a celebrity extravaganza! She and Tom are inviting all their A-list pals like The Beckhams, Oprah Winfrey, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Lopez, and Will Smith and Jada. Plus Tom’s Scientology pals will be there – John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman etc. At first Katie was nervous about all those famous faces in the audience but now she’s thrilled that the play will be off to a big start.

WATCH CAREFULLY, OR YOU'LL MISS TOM CRUISE IN TROPIC THUNDER

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes CAN make a dull red carpet seem interesting. Tom pulled out his brand new jeans and brand new sneakers for the premier of “Tropic Thunder,” and paired them with sunglasses at night. He is supposedly unrecognizable in the movie, playing a fat, bald movie mogul.

THE CRUISES CELEBRATE THE 4TH IN TELLURIDE LIKE A NORMAL AMERICAN FAMILY

The Cruises celebrated the 4th of July in Telluride and Connor,13, came along for a walk through town. Connor has quite a handsome face, don’t you think?

WHY TOM CRUISE MOUTHED OFF AT DR DREW

Filed Under: Dr Drew > Playboy > Scientology > Tom Cruise

If you’re wondering why Tom Cruise flew off the handle about those offhand comments (refresh your memory below) that Dr Drew Pinsky made in Playboy about Tom, you only need to look at Tom’s history. The last time Tom lost it was when Matt Lauer brought up the subject of psychology. Tom roared “I KNOW MORE ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY THAN YOU DO!” Remember, Tom has a high school education. Dr Drew is not only a medical doctor and a professor of psychiatry at USC, but medical director of the psychiatric facility at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena. Psychiatrists (and probably most educated people) are the arch – enemies of Scientology. Tom’s insulting over the top response to the Playboy mention is intended to belittle Dr Drew. Imagine, comparing Dr Drew to a Nazi!
We have to give Dr Drew credit – although he was clearly insulted by Cruise’s grammatically challenged comeback, he simply apologized in a civilized manner and said he meant no harm. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise has lost even MORE credibility.
Dr Drew to Playboy: “A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood – maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.”
Tom’s retort through his lawyer Bert Fields: “This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels.”

THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH OF JOHNNY DEPP TO GO AROUND

Filed Under: Johnny Depp > MTV Movie Awards > Tom Cruise

What makes the MTV Movie Awards worth watching? Johnny Depp, of course. He won several gold popcorn trophies and used that old Carol Burnett trick of tugging on his earlobe to send a secret greeting to his family. And by the way, who invited Tom Cruise to the MTV Awards? And why? He looks oddly out of place – like an accountant in that V-neck sweater.

THE CRUISES ARE HAVING A PARTY- ARE YOU ON THE LIST?

We love this photo of Tom Cruise’s sprawling estate – party preparations are underway right now and the place is loaded with catering staffers and security guards scurrying about. Whether the party is for a particular occasion is still unknown. A Scientology event, perhaps?

THE REAL REASON TOM CRUISE IS PAYING OPRAH ANOTHER VISIT

Filed Under: A New Earth > Dianetics > Eckhart Tolle > L Ron Hubbard > Oprah > Risky Business > Scientology > Tom Cruise

When we heard that Tom Cruise was planning a big two part appearance on Oprah’s show again – we didn’t believe for a minute the flimsy excuse for the event. Supposedly it’s to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of Tom’s movie “Risky Business.” As if anyone cares about that! We think the truth is that Tom is furious with Oprah for getting on the Eckhart Tolle bandwagon and promoting his book “A New Earth.” Tom reasons “Why isn’t she promoting L Ron Hubbard’s self improvement book “Dianetics?” After seeing what Oprah has done for Tolle’s popularity, Tom is scheming to introduce Oprah to Scientology in a positive way. Recruiting Oprah would be a like catching the biggest fish of all time. Oprah makes the Beckhams look like small potatoes. We don’t think she’ll bite, do you?

DAVID BECKHAM AND TOM CRUISE : A JOINT VENTURE

Filed Under: David Beckham > Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise and David Beckham are buddies now, but they’re on the road to becoming business partners. According to a friend of the guys, they’re plotting to team up and buy a soccer team. David is still an awesome player but his career is winding down and he wants to go from soccer player to team owner. Theoretically, the combined star power of David and Tom would attract the biggest and best players. The guys are keeping their plans quiet for now but they’re crunching numbers to put a deal together.

KEENAN IVORY WAYANS AUDITIONED HIS GIRLFRIEND LIKE TOM CRUISE

Keenan Ivory Wayans took a clue from Tom Cruise and captured the girlfriend of his choice by auditioning and casting her in his movie “Little Man.” Keenan and Brittany Daniels have been been quietly dating since they made the ill conceived movie in 2006. “Little Man” was a flop, but the romance flourished.

ANTHONY PELLICANO KNOWS WHY TOM CRUISE DIVORCED NICOLE KIDMAN (AND A LOT MORE)

Filed Under: Anthony Pellicano > Hillary Clinton > Monica Lewinsky > Nicole Kidman > Tom Cruise

Hollywood is disappointed because so far the Anthony Pellicano trial has produced no bombshells. Private investigator Pellicano is accused of raking in millions by spying on Hollywood’s rich and famous, and then blackmailing them by threatening to supply dirt to their rivals. Hillary Clinton allegedly hired Pellicano in 1992 to discredit Monica Lewinsky. Tom Cruise’s lawyer Bert Fields often hired the private eye and he allegedly wiretapped Nicole Kidman’s phones when she and Tom Cruise were divorcing. (Scientologists LOVE this sort of thing.) Since Tom was spying on Nicole before they split up, we were hoping to hear the lurid details that caused him to abruptly file for divorce. We THINK we know what happened, but it would be nice to have it verified in court. It’s speculated that the only way dirt will be slung at this trial is if Pellicano decides to turn on his former clients who have all but abandoned him.
