Tom Cruise Voted 'Most Irritating'

POSTED: 1:15 pm PST December 29, 2005

Maybe it was jumping on Oprah's couch.



Or perhaps it was his testy interview with Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today" show, or his constant expressions of love for his fiancee, Katie Holmes.

Maybe it was all of those things combined that prompted British movie fans to name Tom Cruise the most irritating actor in Hollywood.

Among the other stars to make the list were Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey. But Cruise topped them all when Britain's Empire magazine surveyed 10,000 movie fans.

But while Cruise may annoy them off camera, they still like his movies.

Ironically, they named him the greatest movie star of all time

I'd like to know who's the father of Katie's baby. Really... I mean... If I recall, he claimed he couldn't be the father of Nicole's baby due to low sperm count... so how can he claim to be the father of Katie's baby then?

I couldn't find anything about him denying it... but I could have sworn he had.

His remarks on damage done by psychiatric drugs is exactly right, though. It's not just some fringe Scientologist idea. No mastter how much good some drugs may do some of the time, they're prescribed arrogantly, recklessly, and indiscriminately, with an enormous amount of nervous system damage resulting. The people they're prescribed to aren't listened to, when they try to complain, because they've been branded "psychiatric patients", and therefore what they say can be safely ignored.

I swear, that's the ONLY important remark I can imagine anyone ever making on the subject of Tom Cruise. Other than this, he's a rich guy who makes movies and jumps on Oprah's furniture.

There's good and bad in all things.... and that includes doctor who are out to make a buck and don't give a fig about the people they see. And there are people who are out to get drugs through legal means and lie to get their fix. You can't blame all for the sins of a few.

"You can't blame all for the sins of a few." An obvious truism, and I gave no indication that I was not already aware of this. But sometimes problems are so widespread and so serious that you can't just shrug and say it's just a few 'bad apples'. We are reluctant to consider the possibility because we need to feel we're living in a society where we're safe. We also tend to discount anything that sounds "extreme". But once in a while, an "extreme" idea just happens to be the truth, and the person expressing it may not be an "extremist", but just someone with a story that needs to be heard.

Peter Breggin and Thomas Szasz are two writers who speak well on this problem. They both have websites too.
