why does everyone believe Tom Cruise is gay?

[Zuni]

I am not saying he is not gay, but I never heard anything about before until recently in the DU lounge.

That said, what the hell is with scientology? That shit is weird. :crazy:

[tedoll78]

1. I dunno.

And I don't want him on our team. Eww..

[Left Is Write]

2. Rumors have been swirling about him for YEARS.

It's not just a DU Lounge thing.

[CatWoman]

4. I remember those rumors being circulated when he divorced

Mimi Rogers.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

8. And again when he married Nicole Kidman.

Ba-bump-ksh!

I kid, I kid. Please don't kill me.

[shugah]

60. totally off topic - CatWoman

my 4 year old totally adores your winking kitties! he laughs everytime the last one sticks his/her tongue out. "look mommy! no, no...go back up! let's look at the kitties!"

[TaleWgnDg]

3. WHO the hell CARES what Cruise's sexual orientation is? Geezuz.

[bertha katzenengel]

22. Hear hear, Tale.

[Zuni]

29. I was just asking because several

DUers have posted a lot of stuff about Mr. Cruise's sexual preferences lately.

I do not want to offend anyone....that was not my intention. If yoiu are offended Bertha, please accept my apology.

[bertha katzenengel]

52. Oh, of course not, Zuni. No offense taken.

I know you weren't wondering about anyone's sexuality -- just wondering why the bloody hell people jabber about it ad infinitum!

No problem, bud.

[Melynn]

54. That was my opinion

It's really none of my business if Tom Cruise is gay or not. And Cruise's sexual orientation won't make a difference to me how much or how little I like his movies.

[qnr]

66. My opinion also n/t

[Inland]

87. Not me, except as an excuse to discuss Nicole Kidman's sex life.

THAT I care about.

[tjdee]

5. I heard that's the blackmail info Scientology has on him and John T.

That's what I *heard*, anyway.

I don't know where the rumor comes from, but it is awfully persistent!

[unblock]

6. and why DON'T people believe ben affleck is gay

or, at least, bi?

from what i've heard, his standards include a pulse, and not much more....

then again, that's just a rumor or two. or twelve. or a hundred....

[jandrok]

7. C'mon, he kicked NICOLE KIDMAN to the curb.

NICOLE KIDMAN! To the CURB! What straight man in his right mind would do that? Seriously?

[okieinpain]

9. no sh**, that is one nice looking woman.

[Zuni]

12. but then again, so is his current girl

[jandrok]

18. Tru dat. But still......NICOLE KIDMAN??????!!!!!!

No straight man would dump her. I can't believe it.

[DS1]

27. If I looked like Tom Cruise, and Nicole was a right bitch

I'd throw her ass to the curb :shrug:

[Zuni]

28. There are many women hotter than her

Vida guerra, for example.

[jandrok]

33. But Nicole isn't a beyotch.

And I'm thinking that Tom is fantasizing more of Jeff Stryker than any female co-stars. Uh-huh.

[DS1]

36. How do you know?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

49. Rumor is SHE dumped HIM...

...over Scientology.

[redqueen]

75. I thought he dumped her because she cheated.

:shrug:

[JVS]

88. Maybe he dumped her over scientology

[Sanity Claws]

92. He dumped her shortly before their 10th

anniversary. Supposedly under the prenup agreement, 10th anniversary was some kind of magic number. I don't remember how -- like the prenup was void or something.

[okieinpain]

19. Ms. Holmes is ok, but she's no nicole kidman.

[Zuni]

45. I can think of a lot of women hotter than Nicole kidman

and alot of these other hotties haven't had sex with Tom Cruise either, which is just gross

[okieinpain]

61. I don't think so sir/ma'am. and there is nothing wrong with having

sex with tom cruise.

[I Have A Dream]

58. Looks aren't everything...

but I think that Katie Holmes is extremely cute. Also, she hits me as being a nice person. She seems to have a spark; Tom might find this to be very attractive.

[mvd]

59. VERY CUTE

If I was to be with someone, it would be Katie over Nicole. But I don't understand the Tom Cruise thing. I still think both are using it for publicity for upcoming movies - Katie needs something big after Dawson's Creek, and Tom is competing against younger stars.

[okieinpain]

63. hhahahahahahahahahaha, so you admit nicole is hot, and katie

is an nice person.

[I Have A Dream]

70. I'm a straight woman, but Nicole seems like an ice princess...

to me. She's probably nice too. I just don't think that she's any better than Katie. Even in terms of looks, I don't think that she's much better looking. However, Nicole IS very elegant.

So, no, I don't admit that Nicole is HOT. What I was trying to say was that I didn't think that looks are always the most important thing.

[mvd]

72. I think Katie is gorgeous

Certainly my kind of attractive.

[okieinpain]

78. I hear you, and you're right looks aren't everything. But I'm sorry

Nicole is way better looking then katie, they are not even in the same league. and if you can say that nicole is an ice princess, then katie looks crazy to me, probably a stalker.

[I Have A Dream]

84. I didn't say that she was an ice princess...

I said that she "seems like an ice princess to me". She may be the exact opposite. She's also probably very nice. Remember though, I'm a woman and you're a man, so we probably see things differently here.

I seem to recall that Nicole is a liberal though (I'm just going from memory), so, if true, she has my respect!

[okieinpain]

96. well you're right about the females not having any taste in other

females.

[mvd]

89. We must have different definitions of beauty, then

Because I will proudly say that Katie is prettier.

[okieinpain]

97. well in the american tradition, you're entitled to your opinion, but

I would have to suggest you get you're glasses cleaned. there is not contest between nicole, and katie.

[Zuni]

10. Hey, I have broken up with attractive women

the best looking girl I ever dated was a real snob....she was too shallow. She was fun to be around, and funny as hell but she was mean and I didn't like it after a while

[jandrok]

15. But this was NICOLE KIDMAN!

By all accounts, not just a pretty face. She's reportedly bright and intelligent and classy as well. She comes across as a very real person, for a movie star.

What the hell are you thinking when you dump NICOLE KIDMAN??????

[ReadTomPaine]

79. Nicole Kidman photo without the stage face

She's appealing, but not stunning to me.

Photo from "The Hours"

[Enraged_Ape]

82. She has a prosthetic nose on in that picture

She was playing Virginia Woolf, as I recall.

[ReadTomPaine]

93. Amusing note about the "nose"...

"Nicole Kidman loved wearing the prosthetic nose and wore it in private too, mainly as she was undergoing a divorce from Tom Cruise at the time and was attracting a lot of paparazzi interest. Much to her delight, by wearing her fake nose out and about, she found she could easily evade the paparazzi as they didn't recognize her."

[AngryAmish]

13. Old saying - For every beautiful woman there is a man tired of ------- her

That said, Tom Cruise is gay gay gay.

[jandrok]

20. You are right, right, right. (n/t)

[Chovexani]

26. He's the gayest gay in Gaysville

FWIW though, I heard Nicole Kidman sort of got around. I'm brainfarting but I remember reading an interview with her ages ago where she said something to the effect of she didn't believe in monogamy.

[Enraged_Ape]

83. He is so gay, he makes Rip Taylor...

look like Robert Mitchum.

[khashka]

71. On the other hand...

What gay man would kick her out of bed for eating crackers either?

Seriously.

Khash.

[jandrok]

77. Hmmmmmm, now that you mention it......

I think you're prolly right.

NOBODY in their right mind would kick NICOLE KIDMAN out of bed!

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Did you see the Oprah interview?

Sheesh!!

Please.

Yeah, he 'straight'. Uh huh. Suuuuuuuure he is.

[Zuni]

14. Ronny, I never said he is straight

and I saw a clip from the Oprah interview and it was, well, bizarre.:eyes:

But I was trying to figure out why he sets off your gaydar like he does.

:hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

16. It's combo of things.

Actors tend to have a bit of a fuzzy gaydar. It's an block they've developed. Throws the shit off.

However, in La Cruise's case it's the over the top "I'm in loooooooooove" horse shit every time he grows a new beard.

Seen it time and time again with this one. The Hollywood press goes APE SHIT when Miss Thang sports a new gal.

Stories fly all over this town about celbs in closet. Tammy Cruise is legend.

[Chovexani]

30. LOL

Ronny you took the words right out of my mouth...I literally did a spit take when I first heard about the new beard. This whole thing just STINKS of desperation...I mean of all people, some D-list WB girl that looks like she's about 12?

Then I saw him on Oprah, and yelled "Bitch, please!" at the tv so loud I scared my cat. Does he really think we are that fucking stupid?! :crazy:

Come on, just cut the BS and show some pride. At this point it's just sad. Not even my mom thinks Tom Cruise is straight, and my mom is pretty much the librarian from Gavin Crawford's standup act (IOW, no gaydar whatsoever).

[ronnykmarshall]

38. Ironic if he DID come out ...

Queens would be all *snap* *snap* "What EVER Miss Thang".

It's not like he'd become some big ass hero of ala Ellen.

[enigmatic]

31. yep

I have had friends in the industry that work behind the scenes that to a person say it's a Rock Hudson-sized worst-kept secret. And the whole $cientology thing; don't get me started..

[Hell Hath No Fury]

76. Way, WAY back in the day...

when Cruise was still with Mimi Rogers and before he'd become a star, an acquaintance down in LA did a little street hustling and told a story about about an encounter with ol' Tommy. He said he was picked up by the couple and paid to get frisky with the Mrs. while Tommy jerked off.

Again, this was long before Cruise became a household name.

And there's Mimi's interview with Playboy about Tom's serious lack of sex drive.

I think he's very much like Patrick Wilson's closeted Mormom character in "Angels in America" -- a guy who keeps his gayness under control/wraps by sheer force of will. Kind of like a dry drunk white-knuckling it through life.

[MissB]

24. And if I wasn't convinced before

yeah.

[HEyHEY]

17. Cause he grabbed my ass at a charity fund raiser....

Said he'd make a big donation if I was willing to participate in a few "Days of thunder" and refer to him as the "Top Gun."

[ronnykmarshall]

21. Sounds like some ....

"Risky Business" if you ask me!

[HEyHEY]

23. Very much so

He also asked me if I wanted to "Get far and away from this place" and if I did "All the right moves" he'd tip

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. Yes, but did he offer to pay for your "Cocktail"?

:shrug:

[barb162]

34. are you kidding?

[DS1]

37. No, he's not, I was there

He offered me a thousand dollars to play pocketball.

[barb162]

43. the way you guys are goofing around here I can't tell if you are

just making good jokes or actually telling facts, ie, the pocketball comment (don't make me laugh when I am drinking my pepsi!!!)

[Enraged_Ape]

85. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood...

and he come to the door in a dress.

[JVS]

90. Top Gun is the key to Cruise's rumored homosexuality

[Deja Q]

25. 1. Many wives. 2. Many divorces because the woman isn't happy in bed.

3. He stars in enough mock-army films to make one wonder if he should go enlist himself, or go to the gay nightclub and be done with it.

[bullwinkle428]

69. Hey, hey, hey...no need to threadjack the

subject over to Rush Limbaugh!!! (except for the movie part) :evilgrin:

[terrya]

32. I hope he is straight.

Since he's been nothing but a big asshole about the whole thing. Another self-loathing creep...yep, just what we need.

[ronnykmarshall]

39. You said it!

But he'd become out new "hero", Terry!

I have this image of La Cruise showing up at Pride fest, "Hey guys! I'm out now! Isn't that cool? Can I join your parade". Two FIERCE looking drag queens look him and up and down "I don't THANK so, honey!" Two snaps, a quick turns of the heels and La Cruise is left in the dust.

[terrya]

40. That's exactly what would happen, Ronny!

We know who are heroes are in entertainment. And it sure won't be La Cruise. (I can actually picture those two fierce drag queens decimating La Cruise. :-))

[ronnykmarshall]

41. You know it.

Poor thing. He'd have to go back to trolling the bathouses ..... OOO did I say that?

[jswordy]

35. He smiles a lot.

[stanwyck]

42. He seems asexual to me

I don't get any sexy vibe from the man. None. I think he could be someone who really isn't that attracted to either sex. He certainly doesn't project sexiness in his movies...even when paired with sexy actresses. He seems way too self-involved to project heat with another person.
Now Dennis Quaid can project some heat. And so can Kevin Costner. And Russell Crowe.
But Cruise. No. I don't think he's gay or straight.
He's just himself.

[Left Is Write]

46. You know what? You're right about his lack of heat.

I don't see him generating any real heat either, even during scenes which are supposed to be steamy (Top Gun and Risky Business come to mind).

[stanwyck]

48. there were sexy scenes

in Top Gun and Risky Business. But Kelly McGinnis and Rebecca DeMornay were responsible for the heat.
Not Cruise. He was just there.

[Left Is Write]

50. Right. I agree.

[gollygee]

73. He should play a gay man in a movie

lots of straight actors have - ewan mcgregor, jude law, russell crowe, etc.

And then we could see if he generates any heat with the other male actor.

But I agree that he is just not sexy at all in any movie. And he's a handsome man, so that isn't easy to keep from being. There is no sexual chemistry there at all with any woman in any movie he's been in. It does seem odd.

[leftofthedial]

44. It's not "everyone,"

just his ex-boyfriends

[Placebo]

47. Because he is.

[roguevalley]

51. that oprah thing made me hide under my bed. I am still flabbergasted

[proud2BlibKansan]

53. He's just so pretty n/t

[HeeBGBz]

55. He's too cute to be straight

I don't really think he's gay though, but I've never gotten any sexual vibes from him. Cute yes, sexual, not really.

I anxiously await War of the Worlds.

[achtung_circus]

56. Gay as 13 balloons. nt

[peekaloo]

57. I don't care if he is or isn't. I do not find him sexy, that's all.

[Misunderestimator]

64. I first heard the rumor when I was in college.... over 20 years ago.

Never cared much if it's true or not. :shrug:

[DrGonzoLives]

65. People here don't like him

So they call him gay. Welcome to fourth grade.

[StopTheMorans]

67. awwwwwwwwwwww, someone has a crush on Tom Cruise!

I'm telling! :freak:

[terrya]

81. So, being thought of as gay is an insult??

Homophobic, guy.

Being thought of as gay is NOT juvenile or "fourth grade". There have been for some time now suggestions that Tom Cruise is gay. It's not some slur or deep, dark secret.

[Inland]

86. It would be a deep, dark secret for Tom

and therefore discussing whether he is closeted and whether that's why he dropped Mimi Rogers (pretty hot) and Nicole Kidman (incredibly hot) is insulting, or at least impertinent. You wouldn't speculate to his face, iow.

[NYYFan]

68. I don't care if he is or isn't

I think he's a terrible actor and an even worse counselor trying to tell ppl how to live their lives the "Scientology" way- ie. Brooke Shields and her use of medication for post-partum depression. Who the hell does he think he is ?

Oh- and that whole "TomKat" thing- WHO CARES ?

[redqueen]

74. 'Cause they're jealous....

either because they're not as attractive or because they will never date anyone that attractive.

[Seabiscuit]

80. That rumor is a gross insult to gay people everywhere.

He's a poster boy for scientology.

[JVS]

91. Have you seen Top Gun?

[elperromagico]

94. If being gay would get him publicity, I'm sure he'd "be" gay.

Just a lil cynicism from the ol' Magic Dog. :D

[medeak]

95. John Travolta gay and Scientologist

We rented condo in Mexico and John Travolta had been there the previous week. Thought it was sort of cool that I was sleeping in same bed as John Travolta...

until the cleaning ladies when asked about John Travolta spit and said "Little boys coming and going" in disgust.
