The Firm and seemingly Endless Love between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may not have been Born on the Fourth of July, bit its end was announced just before the holiday this year.
(You can hear Taps playing now…)
Cruise, who's seemingly made All The Right Moves when it comes to the ladies, has never been Far and Away from romance or controversy.
The film industry Top Gun has become a Legend. After all, he did do An Interview With A Vampire.
Cruise's prowess at calisthenics apparently wasn't enough for Katie.
Cruise's career has been like a Magnolia–blooming, and he's never come close to Losin' It in the popularity race…even after he acted like a sugar-hyped three year old on Oprah's couch.
But now, Jerry Maguire's Cocktail-laden Days of Thunder in the sack with Katie have come to an end. Will Katie make Tom show her the money?
But, there has always been skepticism about the Knight and Day differences between Tom and Katie. Yet, that skepticism seems to always be swept under the rug like a Ghost Protocol.
What went wrong? Was it Risky Business?
Did Katie feel that she and daughter Suri were The Outsiders to Tom's Rain Man-like dedication to Xenu?
Did she feel that Tom viewed Scientology with Eyes Wide Shut, or did she see the Color of Money when she married him?
Cruise's first marriage to Mimi Rogers proved to be a Mission Impossible.
His second marriage to Nicole Kidman was, well, Mission Impossible II.
And, now the end of his marriage to Katie can be called Mission Impossible III.
Sadly, they hit some Tropic Thunder in paradise, and it turns out that Katie isn't really Tom's Rock of Ages.
So, what happens to Katie now? She's been known to have dated A Few Good Men, but she'll have to weed through the Lions for Lambs and look past the Austinpussy's of the world.
In the end, will Tom stand as The Last Samurai, staring at a Vanilla Sky? Or will Katie play Valkyrie to his image?
Does it matter? In the grand scheme of things, this news is a Minority Report compared to the War of the Worlds happening around us.
