Well sort of...Paula Wagner, Tom Cruise's producing partner, has spoken out about Paramount Pictures cutting the crazy which was reported yesterday. Paula said that Sumner Redstone's comments were offensive and undignified.

“Whatever remarks Mr. Redstone would make about Tom Cruise personally or as an actor have no bearing on what this business issue is. I don't understand why this would be turned into a personal attack. Because that's what it is. That's letting one of your greatest assets walk out the door. It looks like bad business to me."

"There must be another agenda that the studio has in mind to take one of their greatest assets and malign him this way. We in fact made a decision not to continue our relationship with Paramount Pictures,"

Paula claims that they decided to produce independently and they quit and weren't fired.

"For some reason, Paramount has chosen to negotiate in the press. It's not really the most businesslike approach. We've had virtually no dealings with Mr. Redstone."

	Patrick Walsh says: Tom Cruise a top paid actor made it that way by being a smart business man. How he did that and through whom is not known. But that he did and is an asset to those who made millions off of him seems to be overlooked. What he speaks about publicly is true. How he approached it was lack of judgement and came from caring and passion for those involved. Those that resent his success are really a few and are trying to degrade the status he has build for himself and the industry. Posted: 08/26/06 02:43
