Deadline Hollywood has confirmed reports that Hollywood veteran actor Tom Cruise is set to reprise his role as Ethan Hunt for a fifth installment in the “Mission Impossible” franchise. From their report:

Ethan Hunt has accepted another mission. Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions have set Tom Cruise in a deal to star in and produce a fifth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Both Paramount and Skydance have confirmed this, but they are not saying who’s writing and directing, or when they are targeting release. I’ve heard all along that the director will be Christopher McQuarrie, Cruise’s frequent collaborator who most recently wrote and directed Jack Reacher, the adaptation of the Lee Child novels that starred Cruise. The writer/director will be finalized shortly, and that person will develop the next installment with Cruise and JJ Abrams‘ Bad Robot.

Tom Cruise is what we would call a rabid Scientologist. If you’re not a couch jumping follower of L. Ron Hubbard, then he basically wants nothing to do with you. What he does want, however, is your money. Spend that hard-earned paycheck on his movies at the theater and watch his already fat bank account get fatter.

If you happen to be a media outlet who’s rather large and has talked smack about his controversial religion, then you are not welcomed at his movie premieres. So says TMZ:

Banned from the red carpet this week — US Weekly, Life & Style, In Touch and The Hollywood Reporter.

Cruise is particularly pissed at THR, which has written more than 20 unflattering Scientology stories in less than a year. As for the tabs, he’s upset that they’ve been snarking at Suri.

Apparently, Tom’s special kind of crazy has been long-running in his ancestry — or so he thinks! This guy is actually convinced that his Irish ancestors were special and one was actually what was referred to as a “famine hero”.

Read all about that craziness at our pals’ site Bohomoth. Seriously, this is the kind of crazy that you just can’t make up.

Tom Cruise is currently in the middle of promoting his new movie “Oblivion” and is finally speaking on the topic of his divorce from Katie Holmes. She pulled the plug on their marriage just five days shy from his 50th birthday and now he is opening up about the ordeal.

And in case you’re curious, yes, the formerly known “Robo-Katie” caught Tommy Girl off guard. Ha. After they called it quits, Tom was apparently seething in his own silence — but not anymore.

Of Katie’s divorce filing, he said, “I didn’t expect it.”

He went on to reveal that he “had an unbelievable amount of time to think about it” before throwing himself into a bunch of movie projects. He said, “Life is a challenge.”

He added, “To be fifty and to have experiences and to think you have a grip on everything, and then it hits you – this is it, what life can do to you. Life is a tragicomedy. You have to have a sense of humor.”

And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that after seeing the trailer for “Oblivion” in a recent theater outing, that it looks super awesome. Would you see Tom’s new flick? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Now that Katie Holmes is far away from the madness that was in her life as a result from her marriage to Tom Cruise, she can really focus on her own life, career and the possibility of an even larger family. Currently, Katie only has one child, a daughter named Suri Cruise.

Firstly, we would be remiss if we didn’t say how happy we are that Katie is away from Tom. Now, she is free to be her own person without the Church of Scientology and Tom’s goons breathing down her neck. During their marriage, she was widely referred to as “Robo Katie” and “Stepford Katie”, so when she finally broke free of his hold over her, the entire world seemed to collectively rejoice.

Now, Katie appears on the cover of the latest issue of “Allure” magazine in which she speaks of the possibility of having more children. Is Joshua Jackson available, anyone? Ha! We kid, we kid! (Or do we?)

Katie Holmes just split from her ex-husband Tom Cruise last year, but we’re hearing reports that she is gearing up to get back on the dating market. Reportedly, the actress has hired her very own dating coach. Why would she even need one?

The gossip going around is that she is just keen to move on from her marriage to Tom and was looking to some professional assistance in boosting her confidence around men. A source said, “It was after her birthday at the end of December that Katie decided it was time to give her love life a different approach.”

The source continued, “She’s had one-to-one sessions and the occasional phone session, and she’s learning how to approach people, as well as dating and flirting tips to get her confidence back. With a little bit of help, Katie now feels she’s armed with enough confidence to start dating again and taking that next step to finding a perfect partner.”

The source added, “It’s a new year and she wants to do something about it. It’s really hard to meet people in New York, especially when you’re a single mother. If she’s lonely, it would be understandable. Friends have suggested setting her up with people, but she wasn’t that keen, so she has now turned to a professional to give her a much-needed boost.”

How about just walking up to a man she’s interested in and saying, “Hi, I’m Katie Holmes”??? That might do the trick!

Tom Cruise has become the latest celebrity victim of a caller who notified the authorities of a home invasion at the actor’s residence in Beverly Hills, California. It appears that the newest SWATTER wasn’t thwarted by the arrest of the guy who pranked Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher. Will these nefarious pranksters ever learn?

According to reports, the caller notified the cops that there was an armed intruder on Tom’s property. When the police came to the scene in response to the call, they found absolutely nothing. The actor was not at home when the call came in and only a staff of security guards and a cook were at the residence when the authorities arrived.

In October, the police were sent to Justin Bieber’s house when they received a call that there was an intruder there waving a gun around. Just a week prior to that, Ashton Kutcher’s home was surrounded by cops in response to a TTY message sent to authorities.

Also falling victim to pranksters were Miley Cyrus and Simon Cowell. Both became victims after calls were made to the cops in a similar fashion. Just last month, a twelve-year-old boy was arrested over the SWATTING incidents. He was said to be responsible for Justin and Ashton’s pranks, but was not linked to those of Miley and Simon.

These kids today — they need a hobby, no?

Over the holidays, it was rumored that Katie Holmes has been dating Jake Gyllenhaal. While we think that they might actually make a really cute couple, apparently all of the hoopla is just made up rumors.

It would be a total upgrade from Tom Cruise and his crazy nonsense — if only she could get Jake to shave off that unruly scruff on his face. And of course, if the rumors were true.

Reportedly, Katie was spending time with Jake in New York City and was even going to his apartment in the West Village to share meals with him. We can’t say that we’d blame her, Jake is hot — but again, these rumors are just speculation and aren’t based in fact whatsoever.

Her rep has denied any romantic involvement with Jake, saying that the reports are “not at all true.”

And there you have it! As unfortunate as it may be, Katie is not dating Jake…but they would make a good couple, wouldn’t they? Perhaps we could nudge her in his general direction? What do you think? Should Katie go for Jake? Or can she do better? Can he?

After things went south during his marriage to Katie Holmes, apparently Tom Cruise has already found new love with New York restaurant manager, Cynthia Jorge.

After his divorce from Katie, he was rumored to be dating Jennifer Akerman, but those reports were quickly shot down. Instead of just staying single and enjoying the bachelor life, Tom is seeking out a new romance with Cynthia. Good for him!

Reportedly, Tom and Cynthia were spotted out and about on the town together. Pals of the actor describe the 26-year-old manager as “really nice…she doesn’t want to be an actress, she just wants to have fun. She’s young and single.”

They met at a restaurant in New York City called Beauty & Essex where she was said to have slipped him her business card. Then, they spent the evening together dancing at a club called LeBron. The source went on to say, “She works at a hot place where she gets to meet people.”

A source close to Tom has debunked the dating rumors, saying, “He’s single and will be talking to women

“She works at a hot place where she gets to meet people,” added the source.

According to E! News, Cruise is not dating Jorge. “He’s single and will be talking to women—all of whom he won’t be instantly dating,” says a source close to Cruise.

“Cynthia told me they went out for drinks and it was nothing but a casual night out,” says another source. “She said he’s a nice guy.”

Since his divorce, Cruise’s been linked to a handful of women, including Malin Akerman’s younger sister Jennifer Akerman and an unidentified brunette. But it seems that for now, he’s still single and ready to mingle.

Just yesterday, rumors popped up on the internet that Tom Cruise began dating Malin Akerman’s sister Jennifer. The reports suggested that Tom was ready to move on from his marriage to ex-wife Katie Holmes….but maybe that’s not the case.

It was said that Jennifer and Tom were getting close during the Stockholm premiere of his new flick “Jack Reacher”. We’re guessing now that it was nothing but speculation on the part of the people in attendance, because Tom is denying dating Jennifer.

His rep has denied the claims of any relationship between the two. A source insisted that Jennifer is also off of the market has been involved in a long-term relationship. A spy revealed, “The whole thing is completely ridiculous. Jennifer was there with her whole family who were cropped out of the picture. She happily lives with her boyfriend in L.A.”

Who do you think Tom is going to date next whenever Scientology clears them for a personal relationship with the Guardian of Xenu?

[Just kidding, Scientolo-weirdos, don't blast us with your ray guns....]

Has Tom Cruise finally found himself a new girlfriend? Following his divorce from Katie Holmes earlier this year, Tom is said to be dating Jennifer Akerman. If her name sounds familiar, it’s because she’s his “Rock Of Ages” co-star Malin Akerman’s sister.

Reportedly, the twosome were seen getting close to one another at an afterparty for the Swedish premiere of “Jack Reacher”. Rumor has it that they even left the party with each other. Saucy!

A source revealed, “They already knew of each other from Malin being in Rock Of Ages so they didn’t need much of an introduction. Even though Tom was working the room, once they got chatting they were locked in. They seemed very natural in each other’s company for most of the night and at the afterparty at the Rose club. Then all of a sudden they were gone.”

The source added, “Jennifer lives close to Malin in L.A. so a meet with Tom before Christmas is more than doable.”

Do you think they would make a good couple? Sound off with your thoughts in the comments below!
