Bad News for Tom Cruise is Good News for Us

Tom Cruise has had a development deal with Paramount Pictures for over 1o years now. This deal gave him upwards of $10 million a year just to develop movies. But after the disappointment of Mission Impossible III (and perhaps Tom's crazy Scientologist behavior) Paramount is cutting back. The once $10 million+ is now a paltry (to Cruise's standards) $2 million a year.

Turns out Paramount may just break even after MI III grossed only $381 million. Do you see that in the distance? As all the stars seem to be aligning to fight the crazy behavior of ego-driven Hollywood quacks (Cruise, Lohan, Gibson), Tom Cruise's own personal star seems to be shining a little less brightly. Maybe even fading...
