Tom Cruise is nuts.
If you didn’t know that already, you can get it confirmed at tomcruiseisnuts.com.
The website was put together by Denver adman Jim Jonas and his Washington, D.C., buddy, D.J. LaChapelle.
The site lets Cruise speak for himself on everything from Cruise to women, Katie to Scientology.
“I’m in love! I’m in love! I can’t be cool. I can’t be laid-back. Something happened, and I want to celebrate it.”
“I will forever with this woman be jumping on couches, dancing on tables and hanging from chandeliers.”
“Some people, well, if they don’t like Scientology, well, then, (expletive) you. Really. (Expletive) you. Period.”
“You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do.”
International media discovered the site and bombarded Jonas with interview requests. Hits on the site are through the roof, though not as heavy as their last takeoff, WeLoveTheIraqiInformationMinister.com.
“We put this together when the rivets starting popping out of (Cruise) on ‘Today’ with Matt Lauer,” says Jonas. “We don’t even have to be funny. We just repeat what Tom says. The guy is unbelievable. Everyone is just stunned by this guy.”
More than 40,000 people have voted on the site’s poll: Tom Cruise is “A lunatic,” “Stark raving mad,” “Just a little kooky,” or “A Hollywood celebrity.” So far, 49.87 percent vote “A lunatic.”

Wasted
Nuclia Waste, Vespa’s Colorado transvestite spokesperson, is glad that his stolen scooter has been found.
Seems it was swiped by some neighborhood kids around Stapleton. Waste went looking for it, found a kid driving it, and stopped him in his tracks. “I am sad to say that the bike has a lot of damage and might end up getting totaled,” Waste writes. “And the hot pink flames were gone. The horror!”
