Katie Holmes dropped from the Batman franchise. It's sad news,too, but I'll side with Warner Bros. on this one.

Is this the smoking gun? If so, I'm very saddened by the actions of Tom Cruise, formerly of Louisville.

Scarlett Johansson pulled out of appearing in the second Mission: Impossible sequel after Tom Cruise tried to convert her to scientology, according to reports. Cruise, who produces the action adventures, met with Johansson ahead of casting for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 3 and took her to one of the controversial religion's headquarters, claims Radarmagazine.Com. A source tells the website, "After two hours of proselytizing, Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely excused herself." Officially Johansson quit the film because of scheduling conflicts after the film was delayed so Cruise could make War Of The Worlds.

Is Cruise that bad off? I feel like I did when reading that Southern Baptists were trying to convert my people.

Hugh Jackman joins Woody Allen's new movie. His scenes will be shot "for the movie before her stars as superhero Wolverine for the third time in X-Men 3." Allen and Johansson are also cast for the new untitled movie.

Speaking of X-Men 3, Alan Cumming will not return as Nightcrawler. Brett Ratner is the new director. Unlike what was mentioned months ago, everyone will be returning. Rumor was that any involved with Superman wouldn't be returning but the director has confirmed otherwise.
