Could be way off on this but was that comment not around critical acclaim rather than popularity?

Tom Cruise gets a lot of stick but any interview I've seen him in he's come across real well. I can't abide gossip pages so I know little about him but he seems alright.

Wonder does he play guitar...he'd be a better option than Steven Seagal to replace Richie.

Did Tom Cruise fire Richie Sambora from his band?

The answer would be "No."

Jon Bon is NOT like Tom Cruise. Jon Bon is much much worse. He fired Richie Sambora. He is evil.

You're right, I think it was in reference to critical acclaim... either way, it's way off now. Cruise has rarely taken his eye off the ball and makes pretty sound business decisions which have kept him at the top of his game. He knows his market and he plays to it.

If he played guitar, Jon would be all over that!

Would have thought Cruise gets more acclaim for his acting than Jon does for his music anyway so not sure Jon made the right comparison either way? Cruise is a pretty good actor in my book.

Wouldn't the world collapse in on itself if those two egos shared a stage though? And you could probably get blinded from those two sets of teeth if you were too close to the stage.

If it wasn't for all that scientology crap and the annoying face... what.. where were we?

;)

Haha :-)

I heard that Cruise has abducted Richie and the reason he can't be found is that he is currently being inducted by the Scientologists. He will re-emerge next month and be known as Mother Shabubu Sambora.

You heard it here first and you'll probably read it second on TMZ or the NY Post.

I'm trying to imagine the poster... top billing would be interesting...

Although JBJ did state that Cruise took him to dinner to ask his advice before playing Stacey Jaxx in Rock of Ages... He's had a lot of dinners with people over the last few years; he sat down for dessert the same evening with the Dalai Lama and had coffee and cigars with Obama and John Lennon's ashes...

Richie was busy with a string of Hollywood crumpet, apparently...

listen to this!

They had dinner together. Jon, Dorothea with Tom, Katie and their daughter Suri. It was when Tom got the role for Rock of Ages. There were pics at the time.
