Tom Cruise in Southpark Battle

Cruise stops Southpark edition coming to the UK

It has been reported that Tom Cruise has stopped one of the South Park episodes from being shown in the UK as he feels it is derogatory to him.

In the episode, Nicole Kidman and John Travolta (a fellow scientologist) are seen trying to get Cruise to leave the closet. The episode was shown in the US, however it received many complaints and based on this it should not be shown in the UK.

Cruise in particular felt that the episode was suggesting that he is gay and that he is hiding in the closet. As part of the script, Nicole says; "Don't you think this has gone on long enough? It's time for you to come out of the closet. You're not fooling anyone”.

Tom has not had a good couple of weeks with the media as he was also voted the coldest, most irritating star by Empire Magazine. Still, he is about to have his first child with the love of his life, Katie Holmes, so things aren’t all that bad for the star!
