Tom Cruise Business Partner Speaks Out

Paula Wagner is the co-owner and CEO of United Artists and has been Tom Cruise's business partner for 14 years. Here is her take on the Andrew Morton Biography of Tom Cruise: Statement From Paula Wagner Regarding Tom Cruise.

Official Response to the "Biography" of Tom Cruise

The response by the Church of Scientology to the Andrew Morton Biography (aka "pack of lies) can be found on the Today Show website: Church of Scientology statement. Response to Andrew Morton's unauthorized Tom Cruise biography.

The statement is straight to the point, no punches are pulled.

Attached to the statement is a retraction by a British tabloid of some lies told to them by Andrew Morton that they printed.

As an example of the blatant lies told by Andrew Morton, here is a picture of the secret “desert liar” with “bunkers and war rooms”. Hmm, funny color for a desert, looks more like a green and pleasant spa to me. And the public golf course kinda spoils the "secret" bit.

A "best-of" collection of Cruise rumors

Here is another article about the Andrew Morton penned unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise. I'm actually amazed that so many journalists are outraged over the book given the media's history of loving rumor and gossip. Perhaps there is hope for our civilization after all :)

In this article Courtney Hazlett of MSNBC describes it as:

"At best, Morton’s book is a best-of collection of Cruise rumors, most of which (if not all) have been refuted time and again. At worst, the book appears to be a personal attack on Cruise and his family."

The article paints a rather uncomplimentary picture of Andrew Morton and his journalistic abilities, saying Morton "has also written a number of dubiously sourced biographies" and that he "never spoke to Cruise’s business partners, directors, studio executives, friends or family, and the list can go on.”

One of the most damning quotes:

“The guy is a liar,” says one source who is very familiar with Morton’s writing process. “It’s shocking what little legitimacy any of his work has.”

Tom Cruise Unauthorized Biography

I don't know whether to laugh at the ridiculousness of it or yell in anger.

The media is drooling over the Andrew Morton hatchet job on Tom Cruise and Scientology. They don't bother to report if what Morton says is accurate, inaccurate, truth or lies, they just report what he says in his repulsive book.

As a Scientologist I see the absolutely ridiculous BS he spews out about my religion and I honestly don't know whether to laugh at the totally stupid accusations and assume that the reading public is smart enough to recognize rumor, gossip and lies when they see them, or to yell in anger at some scum bag of a reporter trying to sell his piece of crap book by putting scandal and gossip into it in an effort to attract attention to badly written, fact deficient scribblings that would otherwise sell 3 copies.

As you can probably tell from the tone of this post I'm tending toward the "yell in anger" choice.

Well, stay tuned, because I'm going to have more to say about this in the next few days.
