Amy, Amy I know I asked for a Tom Cruise drool in my e-mail message. Yes he a good actor and might just get the best actor nod this time. He is everything amiable and I highly esteen him. He is very much a gentlemen. Thanks Amy,now to find some pics.

The Firm was on last night. Jeanne Triplehorn. Woooo.

Somebody should tell Rosie O'Donnell to join the drool topic here!! I believe she is the ultimate Tom Cruise fan!! Then, maybe she'd see the drool on Colin Firth and get him on her show??

Inko -- I like the way your mind works. Now, is there someone with an address out there (for Rosie's show, that is)?

You can have Tom Cruise sounds : http://www.thezone.pair.com/cruise/sounds.htm Here's a good one : That's the one I prefer : And for the period piece lover in us : For those who are not afraid of controversy, check this link : http://www.riotiym.com/features/cruise/cruise.html And the bio from Mr. Showbiz : Real Name: Thomas Cruise Mapother IV Profile: Actor Birthdate: July 3, 1962 Birthplace: Syracuse, New York Sign: Sun in Cancer, Moon in Leo Education: High school dropout Relations: Ex-wife: Mimi Rogers; current wife: Nicole Kidman; kids: Isabella, Connor Anthony (both adopted) Quote: Let's just say there's not a drop of Jewish blood in him. --Rob Reiner, on Tom Cruise

How did we forget him the first time around? The pics are great. My favorite TC movie is Top Gun (what a cocky little stud!).

You know girls, that I have heard Rosie say on her show that she does surf the net quite a bit, so it would be worth giving her this address.

Y'all are headed for daytime tv fame. I can tell. Next, oprah, then Geraldo. Then Regis and Kathie Lee. This is just the beginning.

The million dollar Cruise smile says it all...Life is good, great and glorious and I'm enjoying every minute.

All I have to say about TC is UGH!!!!!

Laura: All I have to say about TC is UGH!!!!! And what does that mean Laura? Is that an "UGH" of the gutteral, inarticulate, words fail me when I look at this gorgeous man variety? Or was is an "UGH" of distaste and disdain? If the former, I can relate...if the latter, be careful now; some of us expressed the opinion that your Rupert was too young, but none of us dared to revile him in your presence... ;-)

] Next, oprah, then Geraldo. Guess we'll make those shows when the topic is "Women Who Have Checked Reality and Live In a Regency Dreamworld!". What a wonderful way for all of us to get together at someone else's expense! :-)

Meggin -- let's try to schedule this topic over the summer. Maybe we could all get together in Hollywood and go on the show in costume! [If we have "Checked Reality" can we also be younger, etc. like when we visit Pemberley? ;-) )

Margaret - do you reckon they'd pay for an addict from New Zealand? I could add the freak sideshow element - "Hey guys, you know they actually have TELEVISION over there!"

[If we have "Checked Reality" can we also be younger, etc. like when we visit Pemberley? ;-) ) But of course! The main point of going on the show is to bust up CF's romance and we'll need to check reality to do that---at least I will! ;-)

Getting back to Tom Cruise (not that the interruption wasn't welcome :) - I think he's going to miss out on an Oscar again. I haven't see Jerry Maguire, but I have seen Shine and heard rave reviews about Ralph Fiennes in TEP. Was Cruise nominated for "A Few Good Men"? Who won Best Actor that year?

Rosie just said today that its in the bag and last night on Charlie Rose (his guest were movie critics) and they all picked "Tom Cruise". He was nominated for "Born of the Fourth of July" super acting on his part. "A Few Good Men" I don't know but you could search at the Internet Movie Database: IMBD http://us.imdb.com/search.html

I always thought Tom was cute but not for me. I must admit I found him really endearing when he was being interviewed by Oprah. She started asking him personal questions and started to blush, smile and stammer (reminds me of Darcy). He was so cute.

How recently did Oprah interview him? We get the "famous" interviews in primetime but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

I feel the need to congratulate Tom baby on his recent Oscar nomination. I enjoyed the movie Jerry MaGuire and his performance very much, lots of range and depth of emotion here, he really isn't just a pretty face! (but it is a very pretty face!) I shall be pleased for him if he wins, (didn't he already win the Golden Globe for this?) but I don't believe I can root for him...my heart is already spoken for by Ralph Feinnes...*sigh* ;-)

Cheryl - LOL! Having not seen TEP or Jerry Maguire I can't make a judgement about whether Ralph Fiennes or Tom Cruise deserves an Oscar - having been saturated by our media with David Helfgott interviews I'm increasingly impressed with Geoffrey Rush's portrayal of him in "Shine". I hope that he wins. I guess we have to remember that Academy awards don't always go to the most popular choice - remember how long it took Steven Spielberg to get one?

I'd be happy with either Rush or Fiennes. But I think Rush will get it.

Rebecca: I'd be happy with either Rush or Fiennes. But I think Rush will get it. yeah, the Academy has a thing for awarding Oscars to those playing emotionally or physically handicapped roles...

One can't be more physically handicapped than RF was for most of TEP---I hope he gets it---In fact, I hope TEP wins every award. Colin Firth's stock as an actor cannot help but soar to be associated with such a movie and then maybe he will get roles where he plays the lead!

yeah, the Academy has a thing for awarding Oscars to those playing emotionally or physically handicapped roles... Speaking of which, Tom Cruise (Born of the Fourth of July) lost to Daniel Day Lewis (My Left Foot). Now both of them played handicapped people, and I rooted for TC, but after DDL won I saw MLF and thought that he really was suffering for CP. Stupid little trivia

I thought "My Left Foot" was a great movie.

Now I know we all think Tomie is a cutie, but what about Cuba Gooding Jr? Now I think he is adorable!

Did anybody see the Tom Cruise clip with Lea Thompson, yesterday. He looked so young! I think it was from the movie All The Right Moves??? But I have to say I liked Rosie's reaction the best.

Ooops! Forgot to tell you it was on Rosie's show. Duh!

An AP item (appeared in local newspaper Feb 27): Paris (AP) What men do French women find the sexiest? Here's a hint: He's not French. Actor Kevin Costner got the vote in a poll to appear Thursday in Paris Match magazine. Paul Newman came in second, followed by Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise. Harrison Ford rounded out the top five. How many Frenchwomen drool along with us here? :)

Sexappeal has not boundaries

Tom Cruise is one of many Gods, he is the hottest thing that ever lived. TopGun was the best movie, and why is that?! Tom made the movie complete!! Oh, and you gotta give him credit to him for playing that awesome role in Jerry Maguire!!! Off to see my honey...

I agree Caitlin. Top Gun is the best nad of course I don't have to tell you why! Has anyone seen Cocktail?

Amy I think he is a really good actor, but I mean,with that smile...

Tom Cruise, what fabulous actor. He is a well-rounded, dwon to earth guy, look at him on talk shows, especially Rosie. He blushes because he is embarrassed, he is too cute! I love all his movies, the best has to be "Top Gun." Or maybe he just looked the best in that!
