Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce could tarnish his image most

LOS ANGELES When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes first got together, he jumped on a couch, she gushed girlishly, and many of their fans said, Huh? Their split could cause just as much drama. Not only are the images of two Hollywood stars at stake, so is the future of 6-year-old Suri, with some speculating that Holmes decision to file for divorce in New York might mean shes seeking sole custody of their daughter. Ultimately, Cruise might have the most to lose. Theres no question this divorce is going to hurt his public image, said Dorie Clark, author of the forthcoming Reinventing You: Define Your Brand, Imagine Your Future. His brand was already tarnished significantly when he first got together with Holmes five years ago and was infamously jumping up and down on Oprahs couch, and shortly afterward the videos of him praising Scientology were leaked, she continued. This divorce is another opportunity for questions to be raised about his personal life, his religious beliefs which many cons

Los Angeles: It always seemed more than a little weird, didn't it? The whirlwind romance of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes with its very public, very emphatic proclamations of love. It all occurred too quickly and too loudly to seem real. Now, after nearly six years of marriage, Holmes is divorcing Cruise. She filed the papers on Thursday, said Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields. The two share a daughter, 6-year-old Suri, who's been featured in celebrity media nearly as frequently as her parents. But it's telling that even in addressing their split in the typically vague fashion of famous people, Cruise still refers to Holmes by the name he called her: Kate, as if to distance her from the adorable Katie audiences came to know and love from the teen soap 'Dawson's Creek.'

Although the couple have faced breakup rumors ever since their whirlwind romance led to an engagement, baby and then marriage, the timing and circumstances of the breakup still came as a shock and raised the question of whether the actor was taken by surprise.

R. Clifton Spargo: Tom Cruise In 'Rock Of Ages': Which Hair Metal Vocalist Inspired His Performance?

Just who does Tom Cruise think he is? Or, maybe I should ask, who is he pretending to be? An awful lot of critics -- after viewing his latest movie, "Rock of Ages" -- seem to think the answer to that question is Axl Rose. Adapted for the screen by director Adam Shankman from Chris D'Arienzo's Tony-nominated Broadway musical, "Rock of Ages" is an affectionate, apolitical, altogether banal tribute to 1980s hair metal bands such as Poison, Twisted Sister, Night Ranger and Bon Jovi. Cruise plays rock legend Stacee Jaxx, renowned as the "most unreliable man in the music industry." He sports a bandana throughout the film, an Axl Rose signature. He rises from slumbers amid a small sea of women to show off his well-tatted, athletically cut chest and abs, several of the tats demanding special attention: on his chest, a bright red rose in bloom, and on his lower abs on either side, two long-handled pistols, barrels pointed down. During film production, an in

Tom Cruise is a man with nothing to lose in this new still from " Jack Reacher ." His upcoming thriller is an adaptation of Lee Child's bestseller "One Shot," the ninth book in the "Jack Reacher" series. There have been 17 books in total, all centered around the titular ex-military policeman who became a vigilante drifter. In this film, he "finds himself drawn into the case of a sniper who randomly targets civilians." Entertainment Weekly debuted the first official photo from the movie, and it turns out that the scene is not as calm as the still makes it seem. As a man without any possessions, the only item that Reacher can call his own is his 1970 Chevelle SS. Unfortunately, he's about to destroy it soon after this photo. Apparently Reacher just beat the crap out of his formerly mint car while escaping from police. Wrongfully suspected of murder, he has managed to evade those who are chasing him in this scene and is sending his Chevell
