Yeah, not much news to report lately but there are some stories!
Irish Examiner:
Tom Cruise is terrifying film-makers on the set of Mission: Impossible III, by insisting on carrying out his own death-defying stunts.
The superstar actor has refused to allow a stunt double to take on the dangerous high falls necessary for his part as secret agent Ethan Hunt in the sequel – and his willingness to push himself to the limit even scares legendary stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong, who is working on the film with him. Armstrong tells Total Film magazine: “He did a 70-foot fall for us last week. He’s amazing. He did about seven takes. Absolutely terrifies me – I can see the headlines! What a way to finish a career.”
A nice story is the one of Niki Yan, a Chinese girl who wrote a book about how Tom inspired her to come to America. After Tom heard her story he was moved and decided to invite her to the set. Read the complete story at PRWeb.com.
Yahoo reports Tom is signed up to appear on Ricky Gervais’ show Extras (don’t know the show??).
Also Tom’s on Barbara Walters’ list of the 10 most fascinating people of 2005 (STLToday). ABC will air its annual Barbara Walters special, The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2005, at 10 p.m. Nov. 29.
Little trivia: Tom and Katie share a passion for Barry Manilow’s music; they’ve been to three concerts, says ContactMusic. ContactMusic also claims Tom plans to buy Renee Zellweger’s home in Conneticut because he and Katie like to bring up their child in the country, but we’ll have to wait and see if that is or isn’t gossip.
Some quotes about Tom from Madonna and Tom’s dear friend Penelope. And uhh.. apparently Tom’s awful at golf but tips the caddies well. π π
That’s all!
