Show Me The Money (Shot)! - 
by B-side
Well, it was bound to happen sometime. Yesterday, Tom Cruise got squirted in the face. It all happened at the London premiere of War of the Worlds where an intrepid prankster dressed like a reporter soused Tom with a water-spewing microphone. At first Tom kept his waxen smile on full display, but as the realization hit him that he had just been humiliated on tape, his demeanor quickly shifted to the patented Robo-Intensity he most recently employed on poor Billy Bush. "You're a jerk!" he scoffed with rage barely contained. I guess this was one stop that wasn't on the Tom Cruise Publicity Stunt Tour 2005.

Holy Christ, I think lil' Tommy was about to burst into tears! BAHAHAHAHA! Maybe he needs to go and find some kids to personally - personally - help get off drugs.

I don't think I could have started my morning any better. thanks man.

niiiiiiice. i agree, that was a good way to start the morning. water gun man is my hero.

I gotta agree with Tom on that one. He was being a jerk.
Still, it was funny cuz it looked like semen.

Boy...Cruise really can't win around here, can he? If he walks right by the nobody/yutz without stopping, he's an asshole...If he stops and politely gives the schmuck a couple of minutes of his time, he somehow deserves to get doused with water/humiliated. As much as I love TVgasm (and really, this site rules over TWoP so thoroughly...there's no contest), the unrelenting Cruise-bashing is really getting tiresome. Especially in the "comments" section, where so much of the vitriol is of the "he practices a weird religion and is probably gay" variety.
Seriously, somebody set your schadenfreude aside for a second and hip me as to what Cruise did in that particular setting to deserve such rudeness?
Posted by: Mike | June 20, 2005 6:34 AM(#5 of 100)
You guys keep up the Cruise bashing. I love it! And yes, he deserves it :o)
I still don't get why people think he's gay, but whatever. This clip did make me think of sperm shooting at him, so maybe he is gay :o)
Posted by: Genevieve | June 20, 2005 6:37 AM(#6 of 100)
I knew if I came to Tvgasm first thing this morning you wouldn't disappoint me! I LOVE IT!!! I especially love the Tvgasm version..........
ROOFL! (rolling on office floor laughing)

I have to say I love the Tom bashing too. I have disliked this guy for years. The TvGasm version was hilarious.

You have to admit, for someone calling someone else a jerk, he's the nicest guy about it.
Too bad there was not a couch nearby for him to jump up and down upon.
Posted by: British | June 20, 2005 8:07 AM(#9 of 100)
My favorite part was afterwards when he took hold of the guys hands and lovingly pulled him in as if he were about to counsel him on the error of his ways right there on the street.
I must admit though, that was extremely rude. And as many times as I have played the couch jumping/Billy Bush segments for a good laugh each day, this was just plain rude.

In Cruise fashion, the retaliation has begun:

I don't get all the Tom hate going on these days-- it seems a lot of mockery for nothing. I mean, the dude's a thespian-- you know, the kind of kid that walked around school wearing the beret, cape and peach fuzz beard he's trying to grow out for the Scarlett Pimpernell? You expect the guy to not be a little eccentric about his religion and newfound girlfriend?
Posted by: Dudeoreason | June 20, 2005 9:05 AM(#12 of 100)
I think this clip just shows how cool Tom handled himself in such an unexpected bad situation. That "reporter" was a total jerk. I would have punched the guy in the face (and so would most any other guy actor). Just imagine how Russel Crowe would have reacted. I hope that jerk prancster and his team get thrown in jail.
Posted by: Steve | June 20, 2005 9:25 AM(#13 of 100)
Oh my. The TVGasm version's hilarious.
And as for why I personally enjoy the Tom-bashing so much... I thought his couch jumping was totally weird, but he lost me as a fan forever with the comments he made about Brooke Shields.
I can't stand behind someone being so sanctimonioius about something they know absolutely nothing about. As a non-christian, I think we definitely need a little more religious acceptance in this country, but I absolutely do not think it's acceptable to shove your beliefs down someone else's throat. It is just incredibly wrong to use your status as a movie star to tear down others just because you think your religion makes you right. Believe whatever you want religiously, but don't publicly tear others down because they're not like you.
Posted by: Lala | June 20, 2005 9:26 AM(#14 of 100)
Whoever the 'reporter' was, I believe he's been marked as a Suppresive Person!
LOL
At least Tom didn't throw a phone at him. BONK. No, just the uber effective, "Now what did you do that for?"
Posted by: Helenann | June 20, 2005 9:54 AM(#15 of 100)
I read the BBC news story about this, and it sounds like a sort of less elaborate version of Punk'd--doing silly, surprise pranks to celebrities on camera. They did the same water squirting microphone thing to Sharon Osbourne at some red carpet event, and she went and got water and threw it on them. This wasn't malicious Cruise bashing but just part of a tv show that does this to others, too.
Posted by: Ashes | June 20, 2005 10:02 AM(#16 of 100)
The article also said that he went right back to meeting-and-greeting the fans for an hour, no doubt to merely keep up appearances or recruit. Stupid gay Scientologist.
Posted by: Mike | June 20, 2005 10:17 AM(#17 of 100)
I think Tom was fine with the whole thing at first, he even smiled and looked like he was going to laugh! That is.....until he realized Ashton was nowhere to be found, and he got super pissed. I still think it was funny, he can dry the water off with his millions.

BWAAHAHAHA! It is I, Xenu! The Galactic Emperor, recently freed by anti-Scientology activists! In their belief system I may be the ultimate villain, who after all possessed all of you with the spirits of dead aliens in an effort to get rid of Galactic Overpopulation - but what other option did I have? I mean your planet had volcanoes, I had all those H-bombs. I am just misunderstood.
Now that they had me imprisoned for 75 million years the GLOVES ARE OFF and I am doing all that I can to mess with the puny man-animal Cruise and his cubling mate Holmes.
I warned this would happen merely weeks ago when Cruise appeared upon the hologram "Access Holly-Wood". I got the digits of the Marcabian Battle Fleet, who got lost on their way to Earth to destroy Scientology in the 80s when their commander forgot to take his medications. So I sent several intergalactic PRESCRIPTIONS his way and their covert agents produced this.
It was not easy - we had to rely upon the lowly man-animals known as "entertainment journalists" to deliever the coup de grace. This bottom feeding race is descended from banana slugs, but quite effective when need be.
(This is why the large jawed man-animal John Tesh is so afraid of salt.)
After all one of the greatest evils I commit is making sure that epileptics get their proper meds instead of doses of niacin and jogging.
TREMBLE AT MY SUPPRESSIVE, SUBVERSIVE TACTICS! I AM XENU, I AM FREE! BWAHAHAHA! FURTHERMORE, I WILL NOW SUGGEST WILD STORIES TO THE NEW YORK POST!
Oh also look at this very crude photographic rendering! I have been told that this imageograph is not safe for work whatsoever, in your bizzare economic system. As I am part clam, cyborg, and reptile I do not understand what man-animal ritual is going on here, but it is gross.

Don't you people realize this was all orchestrated so Cruise could be portrayed as a victim? His public image has been taking some massive hits over the last few weeks, and he had to do something to make people like him again.
I mean, if this was real, wouldn't Cruise have used his super-scary Scientology powers to turn the squirter into a pile of ants, or something?

I think that was horrible. I'm glad Tom called him on it instead of letting it go. That guy is a jerk and should be taken out back and horse whipped!!!

How much more evidence does anyone need that he's having a midlife crisis?
Posted by: cell | June 20, 2005 3:26 PM(#25 of 100)
I, Xenu, was once a Galactic Emperor who slaughted billions and billions in the name of reducing an overpopulation problem. I do not know MERCY and WEAKNESS. However I must agree, this was quite cruel, even if it was orchestrated by the Marcabian Battle Fleet.
But I suppose in my warped, alien conscience and my galaxy spanning consciousness that has lasted some 100 million years, I must say it's rude, but not as rude as telling a woman she's had a lackluster career due to the fact that she sought treatment for post partum depression after delivering children. Or for that matter being involved in a church which sues to keep its beliefs from appearing free as they are "trade secrets". Or a church which former members say keeps epileptics from their medications.
Yes, I must say, that seems worse than getting hit in the face. AND I AM THE MERCILESS IRON FISTED XENU!

I would have thought Tom was used to being squirted in the face........but then again,maybe he usually swallows.

Mike:
What did Cruise do in that particular setting to deserve such rudeness?
He showed up.
Any media-whore who preaches against psychiatry, which helps millions of people, in an effort to brainwash people into following their cult religion, should be forced to drink the Kool-Aid.

Posted by: Katrina | June 20, 2005 9:51 PM(#31 of 100)
I am really tired of Tom Cruise and his very public opinions. I personally feel that he overstepped his bounds when he spoke out on Brooke Shield's decision to take medication. However, what happened to him was totally uncall for. That guy was rude and it was not funny. Tom reaped what he sowed though. He needs to stop telling people how to live, stop talking about his "girlfriend" Katie every chance he gets, and jump on Oprah's couch like a cage monkey. However Tom handled the sitution like a pro. I would have told him where to shove that microphone. Somewhere in the world Nicole is laughing.

The way I hear it Tommy got something similar off the boys in Paddington Sydney when he was filming MI2. Mind you it was warmer.

Think dating Tom Cruise helps your career? Now Katie Holmes has been dropped from the next Batman because her tonsil hockey with Tom at the premiere of Batman Begins stole the spotlight from Christian Bale and all the other cheesed-off actors ( Michael Caine, isn't 220 years in the film business enough to sate thy vanity? ) Though I love The Terminal -- which, if you watch closely enough, secretly spells out the forecoming doom of our country -- the soul of Steven Spielberg will rot in hell because he CLEARLY sees the danger inherent in this relationship, and is even playing off Scientology paranoia in War of the Worlds, yet won't stand up and protect Katie Holmes, who I actually feel is endangered, and not in a funny way that can be solved with cute T-shirts. I'm an intensely self-aware, cautious person, but even I've become embroiled in unsavory relationships at moments of loneliness. Like after breaking up with my first love, for instance, which happens to be the exact position Katie H. is in. If she finally gets the courage to end this farce which it probably only took her until the morning after to realize must be ended, Cruise's intense fear of being outed -- not as gay, but as a calculating, heartless maniac who has never felt a real emotion in his life, Ronald Reagan Cubed -- could lead to Katie meeting a grisly end while the media looks on in callous impotence. Tom likes extreme sports, right? Wouldn't be hard to take Katie for a skydiving adventure that just happens to go horribly wrong.. I'm not kidding about this. It came to me in a dream last night and I woke up sweating, and I'm only marginally interested in the scuzzy side of the media, preferring to watch mostly classic films. I see this developing much like Tom's own movie Vanilla Sky, with Katie being basically put to death in front of everyone's eyes for ratings, complete with false, saccharine emotion on Entertainment Tonight for one day, and then the quick move to the next thing. Put it this way: If she tries to break her Faustian pact with Tooth Boy, he will not take it lying down. Katie is not a great actress -- while I feel Tom IS a great actor, probably because he has always radiated a bit of the monstrosity that is in full flower now -- but she is a genuine innocent, one of the few in Hollywood. Instead of blackballing her, her Batman peers should be enrolling her in a Hollywood version of the Witness Protection Program. And pronto.

The original wasn't that great, but the erotic version was hilarious! I don't feel sorry for Tom, if anything, HE'S the jerk.

He enjoyed it for about 2 seconds, then he realized he could milk the situation and make himself look huge, his 'be great' moment...It was odd when he held the guys hand!!
His secondary reaction was thus bogus, conjured - I'd like to see him and his squirter have a sit down interview session on a TV show sometime...
Posted by: dudester | June 21, 2005 9:19 AM(#38 of 100)
I think the whole Cruise bashing thing lost its humor a long time ago. I don't like Tom any more than any of you but if you get a cheap laugh from something as childish as that then the world is seriously littered with idiots. You people need to get a life. Plus, by making a big deal out of all this, it just gives him even more publicity. So you are fueling the fire you are so against. Grow the f*** up...

Posted by: Ankur | June 21, 2005 10:53 AM(#41 of 100)
This better not cause people to start sympathising with Cruise. What they did was very rude especially in Britain where we are having to deal with Happy Slapping, I think they could have done something better, wittier than this dumb prank that has resulted in people feeling sorry for Cruise. What Cruise needs is major bashing of the highest order, something that will really hit home even though he says he doesn't care, we know he does.
Yes, Cruise handled himself properly but it was still creepy seeing him smile as it happens and then start chastising a second after. The first thing that should have happened when he got sprayed was something like "whoa, what the hell?" not the smile that we saw first.
Posted by: Anon | June 21, 2005 11:43 AM(#42 of 100)
Would it be funny if it had been clorox or some sort of acid?
I hope Mr. Cruise sues them for a ton of money.........and wins. Then who'll be laughting?

Tom Cruise came out of the episode looking a lot better than the Prankster. He made the prankster look like he felt 2 feet tall, like a chastised schoolkid!
I'm not exactly a fan of Tom Cruise but what has he done to deserve that?
Cruise handled it really well though as you cannot expect everyone just to laugh it off, I think he was about to then you could see him getting more angry about it.
Posted by: Plastic Man | June 21, 2005 1:24 PM(#46 of 100)
I think Tom was right! It was incredibly rude and sophomoric. Punked, JackAss, these are all idiots with way too much time on their hands. One man said it right when he said, "you know you are in trouble when the society you live in is entertained by such actions". These are the same guys crying over the treatment of prisoners of war. It's akin to Hitler and Stalin when the guy who killed your cousin in Iraq is splashed with water, but when you do it to Tom Cruise it some sort of art or humor? I wish I was as composed as Tom when someone cuts me off on the freeway. Cruise is a real gentleman. Take a lesson from him morons.
Posted by: Jim Brodey | June 21, 2005 1:25 PM(#47 of 100)
Heheh. I got a laugh out of it, but the guy should have boxed the fake reporter in the mouth or something, not been a little bitch-boy about it and went off crying. I don't really feel sorry for him, that shit happens to me all the time. So yeah, put on your pull-ups Mr. Cruise, and resume your bitching and whining.

"Soused" is actually the correct usage. And I'd probably react more violently than Tom. The prankster was a jerk, but it was still funny.
Posted by: B-Side | June 21, 2005 4:23 PM(#59 of 100)
Alright look, Bill Gates got egged and no one got sued or arrested. He has more money than Cruise could possibly fathom. The fact that Cruise thinks that he is the next best thing since the creation of the micro processor is absolutely rediculous. Cruise puts his pants on just like everyone else, one leg at a time. For him to say "Here I am giving you an interview..." how dare you. Who cares who you are you faggot waste of dog shit. Don't even dare think that you are better than anyone, just because you are recorded on multiple films. You are just another human being with a job, it was just a prank. If he sues those four people, I will have completely lost any ounce of respect for the guy.

This is supposed to be funny? It was classless, immature and pointless.
Comedy is not doing stupid things (unless you're working on Jackass - which is an apt name for the people on that show).
How'd you like me to do that to your mother? Never mind, you'd probably think it was a laugh.

Considering that Tom Cruise DESTROYED the life of a gay man who was sued by Cruise for an article that appeared in tabloids that said they had an affair (the comments could never be traced to the man, who denied the story) the man could not afford to fight Cruise's $1,000 ($US) an hour lawyers and defaulted. Cruise called it a victory. I think Tom deserves it. Tom is the real jerk here. Loves to hear people say "how wonderful he is" but whimpers like a school girl who got her braids pulled whenever someone doesn't help him develop this tough guy image he thinks is so important. And lets examine the whole "if people think I'm gay it will hurt my career!" garbage. For the last decade we have had tabloid
story after tabloid story about Matt Damon, who somehow managed a successful action career anyway. (Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy) Tom is an actor past his prime who has made some real duds (Eyes Wide Shut) who just comes unglued whenever people dont kiss his ass. the notion that he is doing the world a favor by coming out for interviews is so arrogant its pathetic. Tom needs to grow up!! (probably too late)
Posted by: Michael Haase | June 21, 2005 6:12 PM(#66 of 100)
No respect. That seems to be everyday life for an ever growing portion of humanity. To those of you who think it was funny, "get a life".

I think this thing was planned. Notice the blue towel in the lower right hand corner right after he is squirted? I dont think normally people walk down the red carpet with towels. This was just as staged as everything else he has ever done. Maybe he wants the public to feel sorry for him.
Posted by: Katrina | June 21, 2005 10:45 PM(#70 of 100)
Who does this guy think he is? Just forget about it. All if this makes me think he was playing himself in Magnolia. Crazy and self-obsessed. Can't take a joke if it pays less than a million. And a real diva would've slapped that prankster upside the head and gotten on with it. Tom is just to up on himself.
Posted by: stevie | June 21, 2005 11:14 PM(#71 of 100)
I guess the media doesn't want to call him on this publicity stunt, just in case that means an end to his wacky interviews.
It's starting to become the norm where Tom Cruise becomes the hero of the red carpet-what with his saving children from being crushed to this latest nonsense.
Does anyone really think the handler would stand there without batting an eyelash, and the security guard would just kind of mosey on over if this was "real?"
There's no way in hell that a tv show would plan to throw things in celebrities' faces without them being clued in ahead of time.

What an introverted, cynical, troglodytical bunch of gays this tvgasm outfit seems to be. I am new here and never seen like it. You seem obsessed on slamming Tom Cruise who is one of the finest, most diligent and sincere actors there are. Even Channel 4 UK has apologized, Brooke Shields has made up and Steven Spielberg rooted for him for him letting his hair down on his love for Katie. Tom and Katie are happy, can't you dig it guys in TV Gasm, without begrudging it. I hate parasites preying on successful individuals because they themselves are no good for nothing except glee and derision for others fortune and misfortune.

Victoria-
Thank you, I do understand that Scientologists are in no way Christians.
I'm sorry if that was unclear. The point I was trying to make is that it in a country with a predominant Christian influence, I can relate to being a member of a minority religion and think that it can be tough at times for others to accept your differences.
I am not a scientologist, but I support people practicing whatever religion suits them.
However, I don't think that having the public's ear by being a public figure gives anyone the right to shove their religious beliefs down other people's throats.

Oh, Olli,
What difference does it make if we're snarking about Tom Cruise's behavior in here? If you don't like it, go to ineedmydailyhug.com or something. It seems slightly hypocritical to call people in here, "troglodytical bunch of gays" and then espouse how we should just all get along and not deride others who are successful. Just because you can use big 25 cent words does not mean what you say is more effective. Many degrees of being shallow does not make one deep.

I feel that Tom Cruise has lost it. This person has no integrity. I never read, watch or listen to anything about him.

What the hell has this man done to you people. i just found this website and all i have read is the constant bashing of cruise. the real funny thing is that this bashing has absolutely no merit. not one of you explained why you disliked this man or why he has no integrity or is gay. i dont think i have read anything more immature. you people should quit being bitches and give the man some props for obtaining the level of success he has reached. and your jealously coundnt be more obvious.

Olli, actually the preferred form is 'troglodytic'. Or maybe you were being ironical.

Nate,
I beleive you and Olli should introduce yourselves to eachother. According to you, it's okay to come in here and have you say we're b*itches, but we can't find a laugh at a celebrity. That's hypocracy defined. Many of us have stated why we don't like Mr. Cruise...
Plus, what is more immature, (sophmoric?) than reading a poster who doesn't grasp punctuation or basic grammar? Oh, wait...are you e.e.cummings?
If ya don't like the snark, stay off the channel!!! Go watch "Riding the Bus with my Sister" 1,000 times and then come back here and judge us.
Aw, phooey. That was just plain mean of me. Sorry.

That's hilarious! I can't stand Tom Cruise!

This is hilarious! I love the prank! If I'm Tom I would hit that guy straight into his face, but since I am not, I love it! It's great, and Tom just showed us all what a pussy he actually was.

Tom Cruise was right to sue the "jerk". They must send out a message to people: nobody can do this unpunished to a celebrity!!! Imagine: that could've been petrol or some kind of acid as well.... This "attack" was not only against Tom, but against all of his fans.

What an immature freak, why would they squirt him in the face, "hes a jerk!"

Gosh. Being squirted with a teaspoon of water must have really been hard on your mascara. What torture. Get enough people to wipe you off and kiss your ass?
It's called a joke, Tom. Get over it.

It's about time someone brought him down a notch. He's been just a bit too full og himself lately. I heard he was going to try and take the guy to court, how could he possibly claim any damages? and and if he did sustain any why couldn't is little sciencetology cult fix him righ-up??
clear-cut case of "LITTLE-MAN SYNDROME"!!!

I can't wait for Dave Chappelle to come back from crazy-town so we can see an R. Kelly-esque parody on his show.. but, instead of water (and, perhaps R. Kelly's urine, circa the "piss on you" remake), maybe Chappelle could use Michael Jackson's Jesus juice or liquified Vicatin and aim at Cruise's big fat trap.

I'm not a Tom Cruise fan either. However I feel no need to bash someone who has made a success out of their life. As some others feel neccessary to obviously cover-up their feelings of inadequacies.
Whether you felt the squirting incident was funny or not, Cruise handled the situation in a manner I give him lots of respect for. If the perpetrator felt belittled after Cruise confronted him he deserved it.
How else do you suppose he handled the situation? By ignoring it? Then posts would definetely go up about how much of a wuss he was. By decking the guy? Then Cruise would be faced with litigation and the public image of being a bully.
In order to play a prank on someone especially in mass media, the prankster must be able to take the heat if the joke backfires.

The prank was stupid but Cruise deserved that and a lot more for judging Brooke Shields and arguing with Lauer when they both have severe chemical imbalances where medication has helped a lot

That guy is absolutley insane. Tom suppose to get him thrown into jail. To be Honest with you that guy is an AMBASSADOR of his country and town. The guy represent the immature and the people who doesnt want to grow up. the guy is absolutely having huge problem with respect and dignity. Moreover, this shows how gentle Tom Cruise is because assuming somebody did that to Russel crowe Collin Farrel. OMG!!! dat guy's nose will look like Michael Jackson's nose when goin for his jury with covered nose. KEEP IT UP TOM!!!
