FBI Seizes Computer in Cruise Raid

FBI agents working on the Tom Cruise photo extortion case raided a West Hollywood computer store and seized several computers -- and one MAC owner is steamed!
Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes
Poppy Ruiz left her computer with Hard Drive 911 and owner Marc Gittleman, assuming it would be fixed and returned to her. Didn't happen! FBI agents grabbed her G4 MAC as evidence in a case involving stolen wedding photos of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Prosecutors say Gittleman obtained more than 700 pictures of Cruise's highly publicized nuptials to Katie Holmes, and copied them onto his hard drive.

Ruiz tells TMZ, "I love, adore, and so badly need my computer ... not to mention the years worth of memories, programs, and iTunes." When Poppy contacted the FBI, she was told that it could take up to 11 years to get the property back from evidence. Perhaps Cruise has one she can borrow until then!

An FBI spokesperson tells TMZ, "Agents are in the process of returning evidence as soon as possbie"

32. I think the governemnt is idiotic with these type of seizures, they do the same thing with aircraft. Some people have unknowingly transported passengers on private planes that have drugs and if they get caught the government will seize the aircraft and the owner is out of business until the trial.

33. Tom and Katie do have seperate bedrooms, Katie has discussed this with her friends, trying to do damage control for a marriage already over. Not that it actually ever had a beginning!

From Star magazine: "They spend time together alone at night like most married couples; after all, they conceived Suri! In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends– Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep!"

Sorry, lousy damage control here, "most" married couple don't have seperate bedrooms, LOL, and they spend time alone ALL NIGHT in the same bed because they love each other and they would be utterly repelled by the thought of seperate bedrooms or even just seperate beds in the same room!. And how do we know they conceived Suri, I don't believe that anymore than I believe in the Easter Bunny. And the beauty sleep isn't working for Katie, she needs LOTS more of that, she looks older and haggier every day. All that shopping and Katie's clothes AND Suri's clothes look like rags from the granny department. Tom wants seperate bedrooms because he can't stand touching or being near women and Katie is OK with this because the cash payoff to keep her away from Tom is all that matters to her. Money money money, that's what does it for Katie. A marriage made in hell but even all that money can't stop Katie from looking so glum and old. Just isn't worth it.

35. Everyone says they can't stand him, they wish he'd go away - then let it be so - it's within our power, as movie goers, buyers of merchandise, etc - to make it be so. We, the public, have the power. He, like all the other way over paid actors, need to be shown the door to the unemployment line. He, as the others, are the reason toothpaste, pepsi, Nikes and other consumer products are so expensive. He's the reason movie tickets are $10+ and popcorn is $8. Boycott all they stand for - stop seeing the movies, stop buying the magazines, stop watching Inside Edition - write letters to these major companies, tell them you won't buy their products BECAUSE they gave Tiger Woods $50 MILLION DOLLARS, to do 3 commericals. Either that or stop bitching about why your razor blade cost $5.00.

36. TMZ: It's not a MAC, it's a Mac.

Do you guys even think when you write? I would be ashamed if I were as ignorant as you are.
