This article filled me with revulsion. It's complaining about Tom Cruise's "foolish" antics of late regarding his relationship with Katie Holmes. People seem to believe it's just a PR stunt. I don't know or care about that, but I hate how it is written with the assumption that there is a "right" way to act when you're famous, and if you do otherwise you are stupid and don't know what you're doing.

"Stay away from that Scientology stuff. How does talking about Brooke Shields drive people to the movie theater?" says Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR, who has repped Lil' Kim and Ja Rule. Why does every word Cruise utters have to be carefully crafted to win him the most possible popularity per unit time?

"I don't think anyone is going to coach him," says publicist Lizzie Grubman. "He's clearly not taking p.r. advice from [his sister, Lee Anne DeVette, whom he recently hired as his publicist]. He's taking p.r. advice from himself."

And the audience gasped. Behaving as yourself, and not the carefully crafted image your publicist puts together for you? Someone stop this man before his deviant "independent thought" spreads through Hollywood like a devastating plague.
