He really needs to come out of the closet.

[ExcursionGuy84]

Well, if a broken clock is even right 2 times a day...

I guess a "Limey" rag can't be far behind.

[Finny]

Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and George Clooney make Tom Cruise look like Betty Crocker. Sheesh.

Tom Cruise Voted Most Irritating Star Of All Time

How is such possible in a world where there is a Barbra Streisand??

[nhoward14]

True.. but only he knows the real truth about closets. We've all been lied to about closets. He's done the research, don't ya know!

[wideawake]

They named him the greatest movie star of all time.

In other words, they were smoking crack.

He will be remembered for being in Top Gun and maybe A Few Good Men.

His "serious" roles have aged pretty poorly - including Rain Man and Born On The Fourth Of July.

Mentioning his name in the same breath as Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant or Orson Welles is a joke, let alone claiming he was better than all of them.

[Northern Yankee]

My vote goes to Bab's Streisand.

Hard to believe anyone like that can function with such little brain power.

[KC_Conspirator]

Oh I agree. I can name handfuls of more annoying stars of all time. Sean Penn anyone? I still remember which one he was - the Falcon or the Snowman?

[theFIRMbss]

>But while Cruise may annoy them off camera, they still like his movies. They named him the greatest movie star of all time

I'd have voted for
this guy ahead of Tom Cruise.
(At least he's less gay . . .)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Or Bogart. Tiny Tom couldn't carry Bogy's jockstrap.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I think his vicious televised attack on Brooke Shields for having taken medication for post-partum depression, and his cooperation in the apparent kidnapping and Scientology brainwashing of naive Katie Holmes, top the list of reasons why people find him "irritating".

"He really needs to come out of the closet."

"Ya' know Goose, you're the best back seat man in the whole damn fleet..."

Cruise was good in Risky Business, Color of Money, and very good in Rain Man, but his career has been pretty schlocky since then. Even Risky Business was schlocky, but it was a new idea with a lot of up and coming new actors.

IMHO Eyes Wide Shut ruined Cruise's career for good. It depicted him as a bore and worst of all showed how short he is. People don't forget those images.

Tom Cruise at his most annoying with Matt Lauer....

[rbg81]

Yeah, BS is definitely #1. With Eartha Kitt a close #2 (believe she is dead, but criteria is "of all time").

[Fiddlstix]

Ping for Xena.........

(Pssst.... I know he's a fav of yours. LOL)

[rbg81]

OOps--almost forgot about Sean Penn.

[M203M4]

Cruise, Gibson, and Travolta. All overrated, all poor "actors", C and T morons. Though, Gibson is trying to make more use of his redeeming qualities now, which is nice to see.

[Petronski]

My vote goes to Barbra Streisand.

Irritating, like sand in your eye, like cracked dry lips, like a paper cut, like a stubbed toe or a knee to the groin.
