Oh, it's on! Actually, I think the "war" has already been won. A possible rift between power couples doesn't come to a head (publicly) in Hollywood very often - but in the case of TomKat versus Brangelina, there is a clear winner. That would be Brangelina, in case you're curious. Even though Angelina Jolie comes off as a little unhinged, nothing can beat the sheer crazy of Tom Cruise. Details: "When Tom saw they'd changed the character to a female and renamed it Evelyn Salt, he was not pleased," a friend says. "Tom really wanted that role, and the rug was pulled out from underneath him." When Brad heard that Tom was grousing about it, he started calling Cruise "Dr. Strange" said the source.
The animosity between the two actors dates back to 1993 when they costarred in 'Interview with a Vampire' and Brad said that he hates making the movie because of Tom. "He bugged me," Brad was quoted saying in published reports at the time. "There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him. He's North Pole, I'm South. He's always coming at you with a handshake, where I may bump into you. There was this underlying competition that got in the way of any real conversation."
Tom, whose rep denies there is any bad blood between the two, has been a huge star since 1983's Risky Business, but Brad didn't get his big break until 1992, and there was a definite pecking order on the "Interview" set, the friend says. "Brad felt Tom big-leagued him. He wasn't gracious and acted aloof around Brad," said the friend."]
I don't know why the Enquirer is dragging out this old news, but it's entertaining nonetheless. I totally believe there's still a feud, dating back to Interview With A Vampire. It was actually pretty well-documented back in the day. There's no doubt in my mind that Cruise was nervous about Pitt taking over the spotlight - which has indeed long since happened. Insult to injury? No play-date has ever materialized between Suri and Shiloh. Talk about a public bitch slap!
