TOP GUN NO MORE

Johnathon sent me this from Jeannette Walls' MSNBC gossip column!


How the Top Gun's image has fallen. Tom Cruise, who was once known as Cruise Control for the tight control he had over his image, is now the subject of ridicule by a drag queen who tours college campuses. Vaginal Davis, who has been described as a "tall, muscular African-American drag queen" made Cruise the butt of jokes at a recent Gay Pride Week performance at Ohio University. "Davis mocked the Hollywood star for his pretentious attitude toward psychiatry and prescription drugs (fueled by Scientology)," as well as made cracks about Cruise's sexuality, reports student newspaper The Athens News. Davis also featured a photo montage entitled "Tom Cruise Loves Women." "Does this mean Mr. Cruise will call up his famous pit bull lawyer Bert Fields to come in and take down the drag queen?" asked Rick Ross of Cultnews.com. "Scientology's 'Top Gun' has gone from Hollywood's leading man to the punch line of party jokes."
