An interesting, if somewhat bizarre story. It seems that Tom Cruise and United Artists undertook to make a movie about one Claus von Stauffenberg, the leader of a failed plot against Hitler in 1944. Now, it is coming out that Stauffenberg was as gay as a goose and liked to dress up in women’s underwear. Most of this comes from official German files someone got their hands on. Since Stauffenberg is considered a saint by the liberal German government, they have warned that slandering him is a punishable offence in Germany . It doesn’t seem to matter that Stauffenberg has been dead for over 60 years. The choice of Cruise to play Stauffenberg is highly ironic, given the growing rumors that the actor is gay. TV newsman Keith Olberman has something to say about the Cruise orientation but it is doubtful that the actor will sue him. The problem is that people are sending out reams of emails to right wing Christian groups about all of this and in the end, United Artists may be left holding a very big bag at the box office. Cruise, who is a very strange person (who can forget his Croatian love dance on Oprah’s couch?) who is a fanatic supporter of the Scientology cult. There are some very strange people in Hollywood.
