Tom Cruise Is Powerful

Star of 'Risky Business' and 'Days Of Thunder' Tom Cruise has been voted the most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes magazine. His highly publicised romance with Katie Holmes and a spate of blockbuster paypackets (£40 million for 'War of the Worlds') ensured he saw off the likes of the Rolling Stones and Oprah Winfrey ( 2nd and 3rd respectively).

Not-gay Cruise, who’s often best remembered for his roles in Cocktail and Top Gun, is also a renowned Scientologist. Results of the poll surely won’t go unnoticed by the Galactic Confederacy. Maybe if he slays 12 virgins, paints himself in magic dust and ingests a mushroom through his nipple he’ll be assured a place in Scientology heaven – a sort of wiccan spaceship.
