Tom Cruise: Effing Tool

Wow - if I didn't know better, I'd think hollywood.com really hated Tom Cruise. Check it out: voted the "coldest" (as in opposite of "hottest"), the most irritating, and the tackiest star in Hollywood.

On top of this, he's certifiably batshit insane. Consider his cultish cure for the respiratory ailments of 9/11 rescue workers:

The Scientology devotee has urged emergency services victims to give up their medication and inhalers as part of a 'purification rundown,’ which favors sauna sessions, ingestion of cooking oil and large doses of niacin as cures instead...

But the unorthodox therapy has been slammed as ridiculous and potentially harmful by members of the medical profession, as well as sufferers themselves.

And, taboot, he's a complete asshole:

Tom Cruise has reportedly stopped an episode of South Park that mocks him from being aired in Britain...

According to TheRegister.co.uk, Paramount has agreed not to show the episode again, after Cruise complained.

A source tells the site, "Tom is famously very litigious and will go to great lengths to protect his reputation. Tom was said not to like the episode and Paramount just didn't dare risk showing it again. It's a shame that UK audiences will never see it because it's very funny."

Most irritating? Coldest? Tackiest? That's mild. Countless resources are wasted keeping Tom Cruise in the public eye. Fuels to fly him coast-to-coast. Vast amounts of cooking oil for his snake-oil medicine biz. Precious oxygen. He's made a career out of smarminess. Right now, I'm trying to recall that one movie he was in that I really liked...

Oh wait. I've never enjoyed a Tom Cruise movie. Not one. Name one that I might have enjoyed. I don't think you can. But I digress.

Tom Cruise is a fucking tool.
