Further proof...

Just in case you needed further proof that Tom Cruise is an f-ing whackadoo, Paramount Studios has dropped his production company from its label because - and I'm quoting Sumner Redstone whose company owns Paramount - "his recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."

Redstone estimated that Tom's freakish off-screen behavior cost the studio $100 to $150 million in ticket sales for "Mission: Impossible III," which I will say, I thoroughly enjoyed but almost boycott.

"It's nothing to do with his acting ability, he's a terrific actor," Redstone said. "But we don't think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot."

Gee...that seems strange to me. Do you think it might have anything to do with this precious little snippet of TV history? You know, when he attacked Oprah and manhandled Katie Holmes?





Or was it maybe this snippet in which he butchered the English language, harassed Matt Lauer, and suggested Brooke Shields was going to hell for using medication to treat her postpartum depression. (perhaps Tom thinks she should've dealt with it the way Andrea Yates did hers...is that right, Tom? You freakin' loon?)



The sad fact is, Tom Cruise has become a parody of himself. And in my opinion, if South Park animates you, you've got bigger problems than being ditched by your production company backers.
