He sends the Tom Cruise Cake. The Cruise Cake is a very famous thing.
If you’ve worked with Tom Cruise or done a Tom Cruise movie, you get the Cruise cake. Over the course of time, it’s turned into this global operation, where every Christmas, he’ll send out — it could be thousands.”He went on to describe it as “the most delicious cake you’ve ever had. It’s a coconut Bundt cake.
My friends that have tried it love it so much that they hit me up right around Dec. 1, like, ‘Hey, has it arrived yet?’ So now I’ll have a Cruise Cake party at my house, and I’ll invite people over to try a bite or two of the Cruise Cake. It’s a cake party, just the Cruise Cake.”According to James Corden, Cruise himself has not tried the cake.

Glen Powell is opening up about some advice he got that changed his perception of starring in a romantic comedy.
Glen Powell gave Sydney Sweeney credit for leaning into the dating rumors while they promoted their rom-com, "Anyone But You." Powell and Sweeney's flirty friendship was forged while filming "Anyone But You" and instantly had fans questioning if the relationship would turn romantic. In the film, which hit theaters Dec. 22, the pair actually don't like each other but pretend to be a couple.
Tom Cruise.Waddingham has been filming scenes alongside the actor for the concluding instalment of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, which will arrive in cinemas in 2025.The actress and TV presenter had plenty of praise for Cruise when he was brought up in her appearance on ITV series James Martin’s Saturday Morning on Christmas Day.Having spent “five intense days” with Cruise on the USS George HW Bush fighter carrier, Waddingham told TV chef Martin: “I have to say, I have a real problem with anybody that goes at him now.”She continued: “He is without doubt one of the loveliest and encouraging, positive and inspiring human beings I have ever met. Isn’t he gorgeous? I have no time for anyone saying anything about him.”Despite Cruise being held in high esteem in Hollywood, he has faced controversy over his off-screen behaviour throughout the years.In 2005, he made headlines after jumping on the sofa during an appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s chat show to declare his love for then girlfriend Katie Holmes and, that same year, labelled the practice of psychiatry “pseudo-science” in a quarrel with Matt Lauer.He has also faced particular backlash over his longtime association with the Church of Scientology.
Think something’s going on between co-stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney? Well, if you ask him, he’s doubling down on the notion it was all just a PR move — but admits it really f**ked with him!
Saturday Morning,” she said, “I have to say… I’ve got a real problem with anyone that goes at him now.“Having spent five days with him intensely on the [ship USS George H.W.

Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham has “no time” for those who would denigrate Tom Cruise.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Glen Powell is currently showing off his leading man chops opposite Sydney Sweeney in Sony’s romantic-comedy “Anyone But You,” and he’ll keep getting the chance to do so in 2024 with Netflix’s “Hit Man” and Warner Bros.’ “Twisters.” The latter project attempts to turn the 1996 box office hit “Twister” into a new franchise — but don’t call it a reboot, says Powell. There’s a reason Warner Bros. is billing the disaster movie as “a new chapter” of the 1996 original.

Sydney Sweeney continues to fuel those affair rumors…
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic A convincing romantic and erotic attraction, we can all agree, is one of the keys to a good rom-com. Do you believe these two people love each other? Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell definitely have that in “Anyone But You.” It begins with the simple fact that both are such splendid camera objects. She, with her goldfish eyes and pout of self-possession, looks like a more wised-up, no-nonsense Brigitte Bardot, while he, with his squinty eyes and killer grin, resembles Tom Cruise with a weird touch of the young Dustin Hoffman’s geek glamour.

Fury of the Gods,” “The Flash” and “Blue Beetle”) turning out to be financial failures.In a win for Gen Z, studio execs determined Zendaya’s star wattage is so huge now that two of her movies — “Dune: Part 2” and “Challengers” — were delayed a year due to the strikes, so she can promote them to her hoards of fans. And baby boomers were dinged by the big-time tanking of the nostalgic “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” starring a now 81-year-old Harrison Ford who schlepped around New York and Europe.Despite all the madness — and a sea of schlock — some excellent films hit theaters this year.
