Has Tom Cruise Lost His Mojo? (Photos)

 

So, I'm looking at these pics and wondering...what the hell happened to Tom Cruise? 

Tom and Katie attended the television premiere of The Kennedys, at The AMPAS Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills on March 28th, where Tom was looking more than a little dishevelled - in fact, it looks like he walked the red carpet in the same clothes he slept in, forgot to comb his hair and left his lifts at home.  The least he could have done was to tuck in his shirt, afterall, wife Katie is on board here, playing the oh-so-fashionable Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. 

Dude...where is the love?

On the plus side, at least the color of Katie's dress matches the color of Tom's shirt - kinda/sorta.

So what's going on here?  Has Suri been demanding too much "me" time these days?  Does Tom have the flu?  Maybe he's had some "work" done?  Has Xenu finally taken Tom's soul and left us with nothing but his shell? 

Have a look.  Discuss theories among yourselves - and leave them in the comments.

Charlie Sheen Calls Jon Cryer a "Troll," Apologizes; Rob Lowe Poised As Possible Replacement

 

I like Charlie Sheen, I really do.  In fact, you could say I'm a big fan of his films and loved him in so many movies, like Platoon, Red Dawn, The Boys Next Door, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Young Guns, and The Chase.  I watched Spin City because he took the show to a whole new level and Two and a Half Men is one of my favorite shows, which is saying a lot for me because I don't watch a lot of television.  So, while everyone has seemingly been jumping on the "Charlie-Sheen-Is-Crazy" bandwagon, I have refrained from doing so because I believe there's probably some truth to what he says about his career and the people he works for, but I was a little shocked when I learned he' called Two and a Half Men co-star Jon Cryer a "troll" for not calling him during the dust-up.  In fact,  Sheen also calls Cryer a traitor and a turncoat for not coming to his aid and for refusing to comment publicly.

I would think that Cryer, who perhaps may want to protect Sheen (or in fact himself for that matter), is doing the right thing by refraining from making comments to the press about anything  - I mean after all, it isn't Cryer's war.  Oh, and I'm almost certain that Cryer would probably like to go back to work on the show ASAP, and keep his job, too. 

Doesn't Charlie get that?  It can't be all about Charlie, all the time, unless he has his own 24/7 TV show, and at this point, maybe he needs one. Until then, you can catch him ranting and raving over at his webstream, Sheen's Korner.

Referring to Cryer, Sheen told E! News:

"Like I said: You're with me, or you're with the trolls. Obviously, he's with the trolls. Jon has not called me. He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. Clearly he's a troll. ... He issued a statement. Is it gonna take me calling him a 'traitor, juvenile and scared' for him to get it?"

Asked what he would tell Cryer if he got in touch now, Sheen responded:

"What's there to say? I'll tell him: 'You're a little late. Goodbye, troll. When I'm starring in multimillion-dollar films and he's begging me for a supporting role I'll say, 'You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity.'"

Wow.  Just wow. 

In related news, there are rumors and rumblings underfoot that Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre and his associates are trying to woo actor Rob Lowe as a replacement for Sheen on the show. 

Stay tuned.

Oh and Charlie, I think it's time to get some real help.

Update

It seems Charlie has had a change of heart, and has apologized to Cryer, as well as endorses Rob Lowe as a possible replacement. The New York Daily News reports that Sheen called into KEARTH 101 radio show today and apologized:

"I'll apologize to Jon right now.  I was in a mood, and I threw that out there. It's a half apology -- it's an apol!"

"I'm talking to Rob, he's a buddy of mine, he's a beautiful man, and he's a brilliant actor. I hope he does it and kicks it's ass."

Charlie Sheen Bounced From Two and a Half Men

 

In a move that should come as no surprise to anyone, except maybe Charlie Sheen, Warner Bros. announced today that the actor has been fired from its' highly rated sitcom, Two and a Half Men. 

According to a spokesman for the company via a press release, Sheen will get the ax immediately:

"After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately." 

In the interim, Sheen tells TMZ that he believes his firing is nothing less than "very good news" and accuses Warner Bros. of breach of contract, while his attorney, Marty Singer, says he believes Two and a Half Men creator, writer and executive producer Chuck Lorre is behind the firing, and accuses Lorre of interfering with Sheen's contract.  Singer also claims the real reason Warner Bros. bounced the actor is because Sheen hurled a few insults in Lorre's direction, however in an 11 page letter Warner Bros. sent to Sheen today, they state he has been fired because he committed a felony act involving "moral turpitude."

According to legaldictionary.thefreedictionary.com, "moral turpitude" is defined as:

A phrase used in Criminal Law to describe conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty, or good morals.

Crimes involving moral turpitude have an inherent quality of baseness, vileness, or depravity with respect to a person's duty to another or to society in general. Examples include rape, forgery, robbery, and solicitation by prostitutes.

Kris Humphries Cool with Kim Kardashian's Racy Sketchers Ad

 

Seems there's been some talk lately about Kim Kardashian appearing in a "racy" ad, airing sometime during the fourth quarter of the Steelers-Packers Super Bowl game on Sunday, and it turns out, the ad is for Sketchers Shape-Ups.  (Why yes - I do own a pair, and I must tell you, I absolutely love them.)

So, word on the street was that Kim's man, New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries, wasn't too keen on being comfortable with the ad, but according to Kim, that's just silly.  She told People mag that Humphries was perfectly okay with it, and he laughed off the whole thing:

"He's not a jealous person at all."

Visit Kim's blog to get more lowdown on the ad, and find out how she feels about being in a Super Bowl commercial.

Jennifer Aniston Turned Down SNL

 

On Wednesday's edition of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jennifer Aniston dished to Oprah that back in the day, she was asked to join the cast of Saturday Night Live, but turned down the offer so she could co-star on the hit NBC sitcom, Friends.

"They were like, 'You're so stupid.' They thought I was making a huge mistake."

Imagine how different Aniston's career would have been if she would have taken Lorne Michaels up on his offer.
