Tom Cruise's Scientology Birthday Bash: What Really Happened
Posted by Seth at 8:14 AM on March 15, 2008
If you've yet to catch a glimpse of the latest semi-outrageous Tom Cruise video to hit the blogspots, sure to lift your spirits as high as it lifts page views for our evil blogging overlord's gossipy domain, then get thee there, pronto. You're all but certain to delight in the lighter side of the Clear Crusader, the guest of honour at his own extravagant birthday festivities. (Highlights: Tom applauding and laughing hysterically at a movie theme; Tom singing Bob Seger; and, believe it--Tom doing The Worm.) Meanwhile, the great minds at Gawker Media Video Laboratories--headed by lead scientist Richard Blakeley--have already made some landmark advances in the creepy-viral-video-parodying field. Enjoy.

Wow. Would *love* to crawl inside his mind for, oh, just one minute or so. Nice to see his singing voice hasn't changed since "Top Gun."
The last time I got excited when a cover band played a medicore version of a Limp Bizkit song based upon the "Mission: Impossible" theme? That would be... NEVER.

Is this his 'real' birthday, or when he was 'born' as one who is Thetan-free?

Of course Tom isn't #2. He's the mascot, and the mascot is never part of the team.

Miscaviage is way way too buff to not be a member of the Village People, if you know what I mean.

I know it's fun to slap the crazy tag on him and all, but, honestly, it's just a rally happy guy having lots of fun at his big birthday party. With all his crazy-ass friend-worshippers.

Scientology is Evolution's way of saying you've got too much money.

I sense some cuttin' and splicin' cause if it was real I bet Tom would totally have given or received a lap dance.

Wow, I'm blown away (no pun intended) that a few of the commenters didn't seem to get the joke. I like your spliced-together-with male strippers one better than the original...

He's a big boy now. I'd like to see him tuck in his shirt. Or does that not happen until 50?

Wow, what a loyal band of ass-kicking sycophants, fake laughing to match Tom's fake laughing, hip slapping to match Tom's hip slapping...and then there's that science fiction religion thing.

The only events I've gone to where the 'guest of honor's' face/picture is constantly thrown up on multiple screens with their favorite music/theme songs have been WAKES.

no katie as this was in 2004 (so says the gawker article) maybe she wouldn't have taken the wife job had she seen then how gay and BSC (bat shit crazy) he was then. and i really think the whole ship took mushrooms or something. they seem to all be laughing at nothing. nothing at all.
