Scientology’s Messiah Shunned!

It appears that Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are not fans of tiny-little crazy man and Scientological Messiah, Tom Cruise.

No, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep did not attend Tom Cruise’s big dinner the other night honoring him by the American Museum of the Moving Image.

When I noted that the “Lions for Lambs” stars were absent, an insider very close to the scene told me, “Meryl and Bob can’t stand Tom. In London, Tom kept trying to push himself into interviews. Bob said, ‘No.’ Tom wouldn’t listen. Meryl has done almost nothing for the movie. She wants nothing to do with him.”

On the other hand, a supporter of the film said, “That’s mean. They’re great friends. Just look at their interview on ‘Good Morning America.’”

Well, I did. It was pre-taped and not live. It was also highly edited. Cruise says nary a word. Streep sits between the two men. Of course, Redford and Cruise have no scenes together in the movie. But Redford directed him. They do not look like great friends now.

Let the persecution begin!
