Tom Cruise Blackmails Comedy Central

Tom Cruise got Comedy Central to cancel Wednesday night's South Park episode about Scientology by warning that he'd refuse to promote Mission Impossible 3, insiders say. Since Paramount is banking on MI3 to make money this summer, and Paramount is owned by Viacom, which also owns Comedy Central, the tactic worked. The South Park episode - which pokes fun at Scientology and shows Cruise, John Travolta and R. Kelly - was mysteriously pulled at the last minute. --Listen up Tom, you might think Scientology is powerful and could have many followers but you are fucked up. MI3 is going to suck ass at theaters and so will the rest of your career. Leave Cartman alone!!
