Jack Frost megastar Kelly Preston has leaped to the defense of notorious pussyhound Tom Cruise, according to a hilariously mis-headlined Entertainment Tonight story picked up by Yahoo! News.
Although ET would have you believe that all of Tinseltown is rallying against the big bad media’s libelous indictment of Cruise’s abuse of Matt Lauer and throwdown with Brooke Shields (oh, and that time he said the Nazis invented Ritalin), aside from Preston, the only other quote comes courtesy of erstwhile JAG (remember JAG?) uniform-filler Catherine Bell: “I think he’s cool for standing up!”
Yes, Tom Cruise…always standing up; on tiptoes, in fact, if he ever wants to kiss one of his wives (emphasis on the “if”). But good for Kelly, who convincingly simulated sex with Tom in Jerry Maguire and has done a less convincing job simulating marriage to John Travolta for the last 14 years. She’s really sticking her neck out. This is a woman who could easily rest on the sterling reputation she’s earned for such gems as Holy Man, What a Girl Wants, Daddy and Them, The Cat in the Hat, View from the Top, For Love of the Game, Nothing to Lose, The Experts, Run, Spacecamp and Amazon Women on the Moon. But no - she has put her good name on the line by standing up for a cruelly maligned religion that certainly isn’t blackmailing her husband and hasn’t helped her career at all.
I mean, plenty of anonymous-looking, marginally talented blondes can carve out 20-year film careers despite starring in flop after flop. Kelly wants you to know that she has the thetans to go to the mat for her faith, and she wants you to see Sky High, a live action Incredibles ripoff in which she dons a skintight supersuit and plays The Mom, in theaters July 29.
