Is Tom Cruise hard up for cash?

We can't even remember when he had his last hit movie!

As we mentioned before, Cruise is apparently still trying to get Mission: Impossible 4 on the big screen.

Why???

In fact, he's even reached out to Star Trek director J.J. Abrams to produce the sequel.

According to Adams, who directed Mission: Impossible III, he says "I am incredibly honored that Tom has invited me back as a producer on Mission: Impossible 4. Tom and I have come up with a really cool idea we are pursuing."

However, MI3 made the least amount of money from the franchise, bringing in about $400 million compared to the almost $550 million the second flick brought in.

Somehow we're thinking this movie might bomb.

But, then again, it's a good brand, right?

Little Suri Cruise is really starting to look a lot like her mom, Katie Holmes.

Yet, oddly enough, she doesn't look a bit like Tom Cruise!

And with looking like mom comes having the same haircut as mom. Both Katie and Suri are both sporting the same 'dos, and it's really about time they get a haircut!

We can't even see their faces behind that mess of hair!

The powers that be over at Wikipedia have made a ruling against the Church of Scientology being allowed access to edit entries on their website.

The "free encyclopedia" and eighth most popular site on the Internet banned all contributions from IP addresses affiliated with the organization for allegedly pushing its own agenda on the site. After a six month deliberation, the site’s Arbitration Committee voted 10 to 0 (with one abstention) in favor of the move and the ban goes into effect immediately.

Many individuals are banned from the site for adding propaganda or false accusations (remember when Sinbad was declared "dead"?), but this is the first time a high profiled organization has been given the boot.

The folks over at the website stress that their site offers a "neutral viewpoint" and insist that "use of the encyclopedia to advance personal agendas – such as advocacy or propaganda and philosophical, ideological or religious dispute – or to publish or promote original research is prohibited."

Scientology's problems with Wikipedia comes just on the heels of the opening of an actual trial that could see the dissolution of the organization's French chapter.

Rough week to believe in science, huh?

This guy really likes to do secret agent movies!

Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise is in talks to star in a new movie with Cameron Diaz called Wichita.

Variety describes the flick as an "action comedy" in which Cruise will play a secret agent who "pops in and out of the life of a single woman."

We bet Katie Holmes is happy to pawn him off to someone else for awhile!

The Queen King of Scientology, Tom Cruise, was spotted at Game Two of the Western Conference Finals during the NBA Playoffs in Los Angeles on Thursday night with his favorite child Suri son, Conner Cruise.

The two were seated together courtside and tried their best to portray a loving father-son relationship.

Good try!

Unfortunately, the Lakers lost to the Denver Nuggests.

We say, blame Tom!

Katie Holmes was spotted at a dance studio in Hollywood again on Wednesday!

We've heard Katie's going to possibly be working on a new flick, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, but that's not due until 2011.

So what's she up to at the studio? Preparing for another film?

Or maybe she's hoping to get on Dancing With The Stars?

It's not like it'd be a bad move for her! She really hasn't had a hit film or show in years!!

Her career has kinda stalled.

We say, blame Tom!

PS. Please work on your posture, you're starting to looking like Kiki Drunkst.

A movie that deals with the supernatural and aliens out in the universe?

Sounds like a must-see film for Tom Cruise!

Although Star Trek doesn't open in theaters until next weekend, lots of celebs showed up to the premiere last night at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Among them was Scientology's #1, Tommyboy, with wife Katie Holmes in the background.

The two haven't made that many public appearances in the past few weeks. But that wasn't gonna stop Tom from going to the flick.

Even his rarely seen eldest son, Conner Cruise tagged along.

Tom probably went to get some "inspiration" - or flirt with Chris Pine!

Well, it's good to know that even in a recession, Tom Cruise is keeping the script-doctoring business afloat with films tailor made to him.

Despite his Crazy Eyes antics, Tom's got a few projects in the rewrite stage and his doctors are receiving as much as $250,000 a week for up to 6 weeks in order to customize screenplays to the actor's notes.

The frontrunners for his next film appear to be the DreamWorks drama "Motorcade," to be directed by Len Wiseman, followed by Spyglass remake "The Tourist" (with Charlize Theron), to be helmed by Bharat Nalluri, and Fox action comedy "Wichita" (with Cameron Diaz), which James Mangold will direct. Also still in the mix is MGM's "The Matarese Circle," which potentially matches Cruise with Denzel Washington and helmer David Cronenberg.

No longer in the mix are Universal/Working Title romantic comedy "Lost for Words," to be directed by Susanne Bier, and "The 28th Amendment," the drama Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck will helm for Warner Bros.

While screenwriters all over town have been taking haircuts on every deal, the script doctors in the Cruise derby have been making as much as $250,000 a week, for two to six weeks, as they hone projects with notes from Cruise. Those writers include Scott Frank, who has been revising the action comedy "Wichita" for Cruise to play an action hero; Richard Curtis, who beefed up "Lost for Words"; and Paul Attanasio, who is now rewriting the rewrite that "Matarese Circle" director Cronenberg delivered.

Meanwhile, Billy Ray continues to hone "Motorcade" with notes from Cruise. Christopher McQuarrie is doing the same on "The Tourist," which the writer is also producing. (Ray and McQuarrie are not technically script doctors because they've been writing these projects for months.) And Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci also did some reworking of "28th Amendment," which they originally sold as a spec script in 1999.

We guess that Cruise must still be worth something if studios are still willing to pony up the cash to get him in their movies!
