Tom Cruise -- Otherwise Engaged

It's pretty clear ...Tom Cruise is not going to Jett Travolta's memorial in Florida today, because he is currently in NYC taping "The View."

Cruise -- who is really close to John Travolta and Kelly Preston -- is at the ABC studio right now, taping the episode that normally is broadcast live -- it will air tomorrow (the delay is because of Prez-elect Obama's speech).

Interestingly, Travolta did not attend Tom's star-studded 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes.

2. If he's such a "great" actor, why can't he "act" like a normal person??

3. John's letter to Tom;

Dear Tommy Girl,
Due to a Scientology backlash I can't have you cum stay with me this week. Tell Katie your going on a "sabbatical" next week and meet me in our special place (Two Moon Junction).

John

P.S. Don't bring lube, I bought the company!

4. ummmmm just because they're the same religion doesn't mean they're best buddies and go to everything for one another and hang out all the time. Breaking News: a whole bunch of other people won't be there either!

5. Maybe Tom is also showing a smart and sensitive side. I like the guy, so that's my take on it. He knows if he showed up it would turn this tragic, sad event into a circus. The funeral is for close friends and family. If TC showed up it would just bring 50,000 paparazzo and just make it a nightmare.

6. The Cult Of Scientology caused Jett's death, because one of their twisted and stupid beliefs is that modern medical science and care are "evil" and "wrong," because it isn't practiced or sanctioned by our "creators" on the "planet of Xenu." Therefore, it is a guarantee and fact that the Travoltas DID NOT get Jett the proper care he needed for his medical condition(s?) that he definitely needed, and basically murdered him, for the sake of their cult's twisted, evil, and just downright retarded beliefs.

Mourn Jett, and for what he no doubt had to endure for his short 16 year life in the shadow of the evil cult of Scientology, but condemn and scorn the Travoltas, and every other Scientologist for what they did to help in his murder.

7. John's letter telling him not to come;

My Dearest Little Tommygirl,

Don't come down here due to the whole "Church" backlash. Tell Katie your going on a sabbatical and meet me at Two Moon Junction next week.

8. If you choose to do "The View" instead of going to your "close" friends child funeral, then they aren't that close....

9. Shame on Tom! Im sure the Travolta's would like some support from their friends at this time, but instead he is doing the view-like anyone wants to watch him anyway. Show your friend some support he lost a child!

10. i wouldnt want to be around tom cruise either, he seems like such a whacko! his scientology talking is CRAZY stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont know what they're like now, but in high school as a joke we took their personality test: we got reprimanded for talking and giggling while taking it ("This is a TEST!!", 2 creepy men yelled at us). then, no joking, they separated us and took us to these tiny rooms that had just a small table, 2 chairs, and a light hanging over the table. my guy came in and started telling me how unhappy i was, etc... i kept saying 'i know what your'e doing, you're trying to break me down. you're trying to brainwash me...." he finally yelled at me to GET OUT!!! my friend was already out in the hall and the exact same thing had happened to her. we were just young, cocky high schoolers, but they were obviously preying on people who were weak or needy, and they WERENT good people!!!

11. yeah real nice friend. he could be a guest on the view anytime, i'm sure. he's a jerk & an odd duck anyway. if he was a good friend, he would be there for john & his family. but hey maybe he sent them a plant or flowers...i'd rather have the plant/flowers there than tom cruise anyway.

12. I had an epiphany a few years ago where I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends.

13. First, @Sara (#4) and Sensitivity (#5):

Scientology is NOT a religion, but a dangerous and evil CULT, whose core beliefs center on the fact that our so-called "creators" are aliens from the planet of Xenu, and that one day, those aliens will pick up everyone from the planet Earth on their mothership, carry us across the entire universe, and make us all immortal. Also, they brainwash every member, to make them more subservient to their self-serving whims, especially when it comes to milking money and power from wherever they can (Tom Cruise is a fantastic example of this, though he probably wasn't too smart and normal to begin with), and it has been proven that the highest nutjobs in the cult have ordered to have people killed for various, and again self-serving, reasons, including people who just simply don't served their greedy needs anymore. Hope these facts help shed a little light on what's really going on, not only with Cruse, but with Scientology as a whole.

Now, the Cult Of Scientology caused Jett's death, because one of the other twisted and stupid beliefs is that modern medical science and care are "evil" and "wrong," because it isn't practiced or sanctioned by our "creators" on the "planet of Xenu." Therefore, it is a guarantee and fact that the Travoltas DID NOT get Jett the proper care he needed for his medical condition(s?) that he definitely needed, and basically murdered him, for the sake of their cult's twisted, evil, and just downright retarded beliefs.

Mourn Jett, and for what he no doubt had to endure for his short 16 year life in the shadow of the evil cult of Scientology, but condemn and scorn the Travoltas, and every other Scientologist as well, for what they did to help in his murder.

14. Hmmm. That just doesnt sound like a close friend to me. The death of a child is the worst that can happen and deserves full support. Celebs are just plain weird.

15. They are NOT close friends. Travolta was NOT invited to Toms wedding and at the time of the wedding when people were asking why John wasnt there they BOTH said they were not that close.

Not to mention that when Tom and Nicole broke up, Kelly Preston was in the media taunting Nicole and asking why they havent seen her around "Church funtions". Nicole then had to come out after three seperate Kelly Preston comments and say that she was always and is a Catholic even though she supports Toms choice in "religion.

Not that any of that matters because all of this a big farce.
Celebrities, ALL OFTHEM are a freaking JOKE.
