The reason? Pacey Witter Joshua Jackson was in the house!
Let’s travel back to a time when the CW was the WB and the shows were just as crappy but got better ratings. Katie Holmes was just making her name in the biz and Joshua was trying desperately to get people to forget he was a Mighty Duck.
They fell in love, just like their characters on Dawson’s Creek, but then they broke, unlike their characters on Dawson’s Creek. However, Katie has said that he was her first love and that she will “treasure” him always.
Well, Tom Cruise isn’t so happy about that and when he found out he would have to walk the red carpet with Josh, he lost his little mind!
Sources at the event claim that Tom had his people call with all kinds of “stipulations” to ensure that he would still attend. He wanted it confirmed that Josh and his GF Diane Kruger were seated far away from him and Katie. He wanted extra security, although what he thought Josh might do to him, we don’t know. He demanded two dressing rooms – one for himself and one for all the offerings to his daughter Suri Cruise so that she might keep her father from exploding. Finally, Tom showed up 45 minutes after Josh, which was 15 after the show had already started. He then took his sweet time smoozing with fans on the red carpet before finally heading inside.
We bet the event organizers can’t wait to have him back next year!
DIVA!
