I bought this book from abebooks for my mom. It was her Birthday. I am terrible, I buy books for her I want to read just as much and this one I am reading first!. lol

TOM CRUISE biographer ANDREW MORTON refused to be bullied out of publishing his expose on the actor - despite warnings from his entourage the book would ruin him. Morton claims he was intimidated by the Church Of Scientology - of which Cruise is a leading member - as well as the actor's legal team. He was also warned of the plight of other writers who had attempted to take on the star and ruined their careers in the process. But the Brit insists it was nothing compared to the pressure put on him ahead of his biography on Diana, Princess Of Wales. He tells the New York Post, "Was I hassled? Yes. Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields sent his usual routine hostile letter. It's standard whenever anyone's investigating Tom. It always says if you say he's gay we'll sue. "Years back, one journalist started checking around, and Cruise's then PR sent word if she continued she'd never ever get another celebrity interview. And she didn't. "However, I've already been terrorised by the best. Besides Brit tabloids who tried to blackmail my research, Diana brought me the full weight of the entire royal establishment. They were rabid dogs. Threatening me with the Tower Of London. "But I wasn't worried about losing any career job. They couldn't use pressure to fire me because I'm a free agent." Morton adds that Cruise should be grateful his book killed the gay rumours that have plagued the star throughout his career: "Actually, with me saying in the book that he's always had women in his life and that he's not gay, instead of hassling me, his lawyers should be sending me cases of whiskey."

Journal Entry 2 by CrazyDutchwoman from Heemstede, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Sunday, July 05, 2009

Just finished this book and immediately turned on my computer to do more research about the cult scientology. I found very interesting articles and I think this cult is very dangerous and people have to be educated.

Also watched the famous youtube videos of Tom Cruise. The Oprah tape and the one where he talks like a lunatic on scientology and another one where he attacks Brooke Shields and the interviewer. I love the fact that Andrew Morton did not back down from publishing his book even though he was threatened. Threatening and suing is what the cult is very good at, not only the cult but also the second main man Tom Cruise.

This book was great and really opened my eyes.
Free Katie!!!! lol

Finished on July 2nd
This book is going to my mom cause it was her Birthday gift.
