It looks like former A-lister Tom Cruise might have found something to help him revive his career.

Comedy!

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Tommy Boy is loosely attached to Food Fight, a 'warmhearted comedy' about a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria.

Is he capitalizing on the positive buzz surrounding his comedic turn in the upcoming Tropic Thunder?

Food Fight is considered a departure for Scientology's poster boy, who's made very few comedies. His last such lead role was in 1996's Jerry Maguire.

Whatevs.

We're sure he'll find a way to eff it all up!

Tom Cruise was expected to star in the espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt which is to be released in 2010.

But, the Scientology Prince was nixed by producers who reportedly didn't want to cave in to his overpriced salary demands.

Well, it seems the power of Angelina Jolie is greater than that of hasbeen Cruise.

Angie's said to have taken a liking to the project. And we're sure that her role in Wanted which helped the movie earn $132 million didn't hurt in considering her for the role.

In fact, the flick will be redrafted by its screenwriter to fit a female as the lead role just for Jolie.

Angelina would be playing a CIA officer that's accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. She'll have to go on the run long enough to prove she's innocent.

The film will obviously get a new name if she takes the role.

If she decides not to take this role, reports are she's already got another offer lined up and that's to film the drama Atlas Shrugged, adapted from the novel.

She's a busy bee!!!

First things first….

This picture brings the lols!

Katie Holmes TOWERS over husband Tom Cruise.

The actress flew home for the day from New York City, where she's rehearsing her Broadway play, to be with her man on Monday in Los Angeles.

Cruise and Holmes hit up the premiere of the controversial new film, Tropic Thunder, in which Tommy boy has a featured cameo.

And, as they are prone to do, TomKat spent a substantial chunk of time posing with fans.

Everybody loves a good freak show!

Could it be the explanation for the baggy, 90's jeans style she's been sporting? And all those sweaters!!!

A British paper is asserting that Katie Holmes could be preggers!

What do y'all think?!

On Wednesday, Katie was pictured doing the infamous hide-a-bump-behind-a-big-bag move.

And on Friday, she was spotted in a dress that seemed to highlight the beginnings of a bump.

Is another alien on its way?

It's babymania in Hollywoodland!

P.S. What do you think of her new super short do?

Katie Holmes is tired of the extended Cruise family!

During an interview, Katie once said, "We live with my sister-in-law, her two sons, my mother-in-law, and [Tom's] kids Isabella and Connor."

Aww, what a great, big, happy family. Isn't that everyone's dream? To live with your in-laws!!!!!!! Hell to the no.

A source tells In Touch Weekly, "It's like a huge family reunion every day at their house. It's about time for Tom and Katie to live alone. They never have before."

And finally some good news.

In Touch is reporting that when Katie and Tom Cruise moved into their new $35 million home in Beverly Hills, things changed. They claim Katie finally stood up (though we find that hard to believe) and insisted that she would only live with Tom, Suri, and his two kids.

Though mommy's boy Tom may find it difficult now as he's used to living with his Mom and three sisters ever since his split from Nicole Kidman back in 2001.

Of course they are all Scientologists, and each has lived with him at different times.

An inside source says, "He's very close with his sisters and his mother and he always welcomes his family into his house. Cass [one of Cruise's sisters] and her sons have been an integral part of Tom's life, and Cass helps take care of Tom's children when he is away." She even home schooled Isabella and Connor.

Friends insist things are changing.

One adds, "Tom agreed things needed to be different. He assured [Katie] that they would not be moving in with them."

So what's to happen with mommy and the girls?

They are going to be staying at a duplex apartment at the Scientology Centre in Hollywood. The same place where the entire Cruise family stayed while their house was being renovated.

How can we rent a room there????

We wanna have a Kabbalah party!

As we mentioned earlier this week, rumors have been circulation that Top Gun will soon have a sequel made.

However, our prayers have been answered.

Tom Cruise will NOT be reprising his role as Maverick.

We'll probably be seeing him do some sort of cameo, though.

A spokesperson for Paramount has says there is "no way" Cruise would be getting the lead role again.

Thank goodness.

Now it looks like we'll only be stuck with him when Valkyrie gets released. If it ever does.

Looks like they are all out of good ideas, or he's just in need of a paycheck!

Reports are surfacing that 22 years after the release of Top Gun, they've decided to make a sequel.

Tom Cruise is said to be in talks to reprise his role of Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.

Yea, that's what we want to see. A 46 year-old Maverick.

An inside source says, "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot."

Let's hope they don't cast Katie Holmes as the cocky new pilot.

Cruise hasn't had much success at the box office lately, with Mission Impossible III performing below expectations and brining in less money than the first film.

Not to mention his last film, Lions for Lambs , which was released last year and attacked by critics.

Looks like it's time for Cruise to retire.

Tom Cruise's career is on the decline and he doesn't seem to know it!

According to a new report, Tommy boy lost the lead role in Columbia's pix flick Edwin A. Salt.

What? Why would someone turn down Tom Cruise???

Well, producers didn't want to pay the fee Tom was demanding.

Looks like Hollywood doesn't think he's worth the $20 million per pic he used to get!

The studio is supposedly eyeing Tom's friend Will Smith as the man to take on the lead.

Aw…will that spark a lover's quarrel?

We learn something new every day!

We revealed yesterday that Katie Holmes has been wearing gloves and long sleeve shirts to cover her freakily discolored hands.

We thought she was sporting purple hands for her appearance on ABC's Eli Stone.

But, a few insiders in the know informed us that Katie might have taken part in a Scientology purification ritual that caused her hands to go purple.

Yikes!

According to reports, the purification ritual is called the Purification Rundown or Purif.

Peeps going through the process take 'vitamin bombs' to get 'toxins' out of their bodies.

A source says that in almost every single case, Scientology founder Hubbard recommends dosages in his teachings that are well above the safe limits, in some cases as much as 142 times more than the toxic level. The side effects of such huge overdoses range from liver damage, hair loss, brain swelling and nausea up to fatal heart and respiratory failure.

The cleanse also prescribes huge doses of something called niacin. A report says large doses of niacin can cause liver damage, peptic ulcers, and skin rashes. Even normal doses can be associated with skin flushing.

Poor Katie.

Someone help her!!!
