More and more stars are coming out in defense of Tom Cruise the Scientology Jesus. Like Adam Sandler who said:
To see anyone's private life invaded and mocked like this is sickening. It's especially gross when it happens to a guy like Cruise, who's a great dad, a great husband, and a great friend.
Does Nicole Kidman agree with Adam that Cruise is a "great husband?" Sandler should stick to making boob jokes in homophobic movies.
Tom's Rain Man co-star Dustin Hoffman said:
Tom Cruise is an American and has the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Yeah, yeah. And Dustin Hoffman has the right to spend twenty years making one shitty movie after another. That doesn't mean we have to pat him on the back for it.
Daniel Snyder, Washington Redskins owner and Tom's financial partner in United Artists, had this to say:
Tom is a winner. That's a fact. He is a terrific actor, a terrific father and a terrific person. I'm proud to be his friend.
If I knew who you were, Daniel, I might bother slamming you.
Ben Stiller weighs in:
Imagine having a baby and people talking about it the way they did. People lose sight of the fact that Tom Cruise is actually a person. I feel for him.
Ben is obviously referring to the whole "Suri was conceived using L. Ron Hubbard's sperm" story. Hate to break the news to Ben, but that little rumor got started inside Scientology - all Andrew Morton did was report it. So who's picking on Suri? Not most people I know of. Most people seem to adore Suri and think she's beautiful. If anything, people feel sorry for Suri, because they know she has a fucking nutjob for a father, and is going to be indoctrinated into his insane religion without having any choice in the matter. I don't care what anyone says...people who pound religion into the minds of children are evil. And I'm not only talking about Scientologists. If you're a Christian and you program your kids to only think the way you do without ever encouraging them to find out what other choices the world has to offer, then you are a piece of shit.
I'm sorry, but there is no chance of Tom being broad-minded enough to let Suri find her own way in the world once she's old enough. She will be groomed as the poster child for Scientology and that is flat evil. So Ben Stiller...you can shove it up your ass.
