Pre-production on Mission: Impossible 6 came to a halt last month when a contract dispute between Tom Cruise and Paramount threatened to stall the sixth installment in the blockbuster franchise. The sticking point? Cruise wanted the studio to match — or top — what Universal is paying him to star in The Mummy reboot, but Paramount was a little contentious…yeah right, as if they weren’t going to give Tom Cruise, the star of one of their biggest franchises, what he wants.

At this point in his career, there shouldn’t be much cause for behind-the-scenes drama when it comes to Tom Cruise movies. Cruise wants to star in another Jack Reacher movie? Pay the man. Cruise wants to play a special forces operative fighting a centuries-old mummy? Pay the man. Cruise wants to release a movie where all he does is run for two hours? By all that is holy and good in this world, pay the man!

Listen, I won’t pretend to know whether I’m supposed to be excited about the new Universal Studios monster movies or not. Like most of you, I do get a little bit of a headache every time a studio boss utters the words “shared universe,” but no matter how cynicism I try and muster for the new Tom Cruise remake of The Mummy, I just can’t. It has Tom Cruise! Running around London! Fighting a gosh-darn mummy! Yeah, that’s right, I’m an easy mark.

Christopher McQuarrie didn’t return to write and direct Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, but at least it’s because he’s working with Tom Cruise on a different sequel (Mission: Impossible 6). Still, a new Jack Reacher movie is something we can all look forward to, and the first photos from Never Go Back have arrived to get us properly pumped.

Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but you keep seeing his movies.

Russell Brand is a comedic genius, albeit one who's utterly insane. Proof? Last night, April 16, he went on 'Conan' and talked about, among other things, a foursome with the Kardashians, how he'd sleep with Jennifer Lawrence (who wouldn't?), using hypnotism to stop his sexual desires, and convincing Tom Cruise to convert him to Scientology.

Tom Cruise stopped by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Thursday to promote his upcoming sci-fi flick 'Oblivion.' But it wasn't all fun and games -- while he was there, Jimmy made him prove his acting prowess.

In the worst 'Punkd'-related prank in history, Scientology matchmakers for Tom Cruise allegedly held auditions for a fake part in a 'Mission Impossible' movie in order to find his third wife (a role later played by Katie Holmes).

In his new book 'Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief,' author Lawrence Wright discusses one of the most well-known Scientologists in Hollywood -- poster boy Tom Cruise. If the content is to be believed, Cruise has a desire to be the first Scientologist President of the US. But of course that's being denied by everyone in Tom's camp, who are probably busily drafting lawsui

After divorcing Katie Holmes earlier this year, seems Tom Cruise and the forces of Xenu are already interviewing replacements. First up: a 26-year-old restaurant manager. With whom he's already desperately in love, of course.

Last we heard about 'All You Need Is Kill' -- otherwise known as Tom Cruise's attempt to prove he's "down" with the 'Avengers' and 'Dark Knight' sci-fi actioner crowd -- Bill Paxton was said to be in talks to board the Doug Liman film, which already featured Emily Blunt. Now the latest news comes in the form of a first look photo of Tom Cruise looking like one of the soldiers from the 'H

It has long been rumored that Katie Holmes auditioned for the role of Tom Cruise’s missus via the controversial Church of Scientology, of which Cruise is a high-ranking member. That claim has been disputed, but a new blockbuster Vanity Fair article claims that Holmes wasn’t the first choice for Cruise’s wife.
