Celebrity Justice
Tom Cruise - Call Me That, I'll Sue!

Posted Mar 2nd 2009 9:06AM by TMZ Staff

Tom CruiseTom Cruise is ticked off because a t-shirt company is allegedly planning to use his image on a shmatah that will say "sex addict" on the front and "everything turns me on" on the back.

We've obtained a letter sent by Aaron Moss, Cruise's lawyer, to Addictiontee.com, threatening to sue the pants off the t-shirt company if it goes forward with the product, calling it false advertising and consumer fraud.

The letter also says, "...we believe that such photograph is a fake that has been 'Photoshopped' or otherwise manipulated to make it look like he's wearing your t-shirt."

A spokesman for the t-shirt company says the shirt is in production. And the company is acting none too scared, adding, "We're going into production of a t-shirt inspired by Cruise's attorney with the words 'legal addict' on the front and 'I sue everybody' on the back."

6. I think I'll buy 10 of those shirts. Also, if the t-shirt company does get sued, how would I go about contributing to their defense fund? Anyone who gives Cruise and/or $cientology the finger when they're threatened w/lawsuits is my kind of company.

You rock addictiontee!!

7. Tom is under attack by Jett Travolta's body thetan. He gets cranky when that happens.

8. No, Tom is not "cool". He is a controlling, arrogant, know-it-all, humorless, Xenu worshipping nut who gives vast sums of money to a duplicitous cult.
