I smell a big, fat flop

Oh, Cruisey--is that flopsweat we see starting to develop in and around your latest effort... Seems like Cruise's pet project Valkyrie is doomed to failure. First the controversy regarding his being a Scientologist and portraying a German war hero on German soil, then they manage to start filming and the celluoid catches fire, then one release date after another postponed... Now come the rumors that Cruise's acting job and the script is/were so bad, he'll be deemed a laughing stock... Well, it's enough to make Cruise go running back to Sumner Redstone. You remember Sumner... he's the one who wouldn't renew Cruise's contract with Paramount because he didn't like his cra-zazy behavior whilst courting femmebot Katie. Tommy boy, you're sure gonna have a lot of ass kissing to do -- pucker up, baby:

According to the Huffington Post:

Has one of the legendary feuds in Hollywood come to an end? Tom Cruise and Sumner Redstone may be on the mend, according to reports in the NY Post and Wall Street Journal. The pair very publicly dined together in Los Angeles on Thursday, and may be ready to work together again.
Writes the Post:

Redstone, the cantankerous head of Viacom and CBS, fired Cruise two years ago after Cruise jumped on Oprah Winfrey's couch to demonstrate his love for Katie Holmes and then went on "Today" to promote "Mission: Impossible III," but instead went on a tirade against prescription drugs. But the two had lunch yesterday at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel, one of LA's most public places for a rapprochement. "Tom is missing Paramount. He needs a hit," explained one Angeleno.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

At a lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a venue chosen by Mr. Cruise, Mr. Redstone said they "agreed the past is the past and we would put it behind us and renew our relationship."

...Redstone cut ties with Cruise in August 2006. He told the December 2006 issue of Vanity Fair, "He was embarrassing the studio. And he was costing us a lot of money... He turned off all women, and a lot of men."

Delish... I'll have seconds. ;)
