I hate to say this Tom (why do I keep speaking to him like he’s reading this? Is that a sign of mental instability on my part? Please, no “pot calling the kettle back” jokes….), but I’m not sure if even hiring a professional will help at this point.

LOS ANGELES -
Tom Cruise has replaced his sister with a Hollywood insider as chief handler of his publicity.

The 43-year-old actor hired veteran publicist Paul Bloch, who’s also a co-chairman for publicity firm Rogers & Cowan, according to the Daily Variety trade paper. Bloch also will oversee publicity for the actor’s production company Cruise-Wagner Productions.

You’ve pretty much just run your credibility into the ground. You’re insane comments about Brooke Shields’ post-partum depression and the fact that you’ve gotten a girl almost young enough to be your daughter preggers, is really just the start, isn’t it?

The shakeup comes after Cruise generated some negative publicity earlier this year by criticizing
Brooke Shields for taking anti-depression drugs and by berating “Today” host Matt Lauer for suggesting that psychiatric treatment might help some patients.

He also created a sensation on “The
Oprah Winfrey Show,” when he got down on his knees and repeatedly jumped up on the talk-show host’s couch, saying his love for actress
Katie Holmes was “beyond cool.”

Cruise and Holmes, 26, went public with their relationship in April. They became engaged in June, and she is now pregnant with their first child.

See what I mean? I never thought I would say this, but I was cheering for Matt. At the same time a felt a little pity for you Tom. You obviously feel strongly about what the two of you were talking about. But your delivery was way off and made you come off as a moron.

So you’re pretty much shot now. What do you do? You fire your own sister and hire a Hollywood big shot to try to repair the damage. Well, only time will tell how much good that will do. In the meantime, I will keep you in my prayers. Even though I have never met you in person,I believe with every bone in my body that you are by nature a good man. Maybe someday that nature will take over again.
