Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

Tom Cruise: Unauthorized BiographyWhen you put yourself in the public eye in a very bold way, you have to expect at least a little backlash. Could that be what’s happening to couch-jumping and overzealous right this moment? Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography (which you can buy right now for less than twenty bucks online) talks at great length about Cruise and his various women, rumors concerning this love life and of course, . The media has already reported that Morton may be getting sued by Cruise and the Scientology Church for the mind-boggling sum of $100 million. Doesn’t matter. The book hit the shelves January 15, no matter what Cruise or anyone else has to say about it.

Before the book’s release, an excerpt of the prose was released which detailed the inner circle of Scientology followers, showing just how important Cruise’s role is therein. Followers of the religion, which is based on a series of books by author , have taken a lot of flak from the press (and the spoofers). But in this country, we’re all allowed to believe whatever we please - even our biggest stars. Read all about it in the unauthorized (and possibly very costly) Tom Cruise biography.

‘Borat’ Slapped With Another Lawsuit

Borat drivingWhen it comes to filing lawsuits, better late than never – right?

Even though the film was released over a year ago, the creators behind are still hearing from disgruntled parties.  This time around, it’s the driver’s ed instructor who is seeking to regain his 15 minutes of fame.

Michael Psenicska follows the lead of several other participants who didn’t like what they had to see in the final print.  Ironically, the instructor – who calmly did his best to keep Borat’s comments and driving in line – is now making himself look bad with this poorly timed claim.  (Other suits have been filed by the obnoxious frat boys, the etiquette teacher and villagers from Romania.)

Although he signed a waiver and received $500 for his appearance, Pscenicska claims he was misled about the purpose of the filming.  He asserts he only intended to be involved in a ‘documentary about the integration of foreign people into the American way of life.’  Now he is asking actor and (amongst others) for compensatory and punitive damages.

I wonder if a cut of the DVD profits would help cure his ‘emotional suffering’...

Neil Estep goes off on the people trying to sue to the makers of Borat. He gives you an overview of what the Borat film is all about, and why it’s really a genious piece of work, being that it is unique with real-life people. Watch out Borat haters…if Neil sees you on the street, he will yell at you, and then run quickly when you reciprocate. If you are unfamiliar with Borat:

Journalist Borat Sagdiyev leaves his native Kazakhstan to travel to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. His backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him, exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture. In some cases, Borat’s interview subjects embrace his outrageous views on race and sex by agreeing with him, while others attempt to offer a patriotic lesson in Western values.
