Jackie Gleason blackmailed Jason Miller (priest from Exorcist) bc Jason was unfaithful to Jackie's daughter.

Jason was talented and becoming more successful in Hollywood (That Championship Season is a 1972 play by Jason Miller. It was the recipient of the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 1973 Tony Award for Best Play)

Jason is also the father of Jason Patric (80s star)

Jason Miller lived in Scranton before he died. He was a falling down drunk that was ridiculed by patrons. It was really sad.

Scranton! Born and raised there. Churches and funeral homes on every corner.

That whole case needs to be re-opened. How is it possible that both Brittany and her husband officially died of pneumonia and anemia, as if they lived in 19th century?
Yes, I know they were using prescription drugs, but these were not stated as the main reason for their deaths.


I heard that these deaths were attributed to severe mold problems in their house.

Re: Tom Cruise

When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes started dating, I had a friend in the entertainment industry who told me the following:
Apparently everyone in Hollywood knows Tom Cruise is gay. He auditioned women to be his wife and picked Katie Holmes. They both had movies coming out and their relationship would help with publicity (Katie Holmes was not getting such amazing reviews from Batman Begins!). They had a 6 year contract.

Lo and behold, after 6 years, they got divorced!

Anthony Bourdain's suicide.

It is so hard to believe that a successful 61 year old who had surmounted so much in his life, would impulsively hang himself just before a planned dinner with a dear friend and his colleagues while in a hotel overseas.

More importantly, he had a minor daughter whom he loved dearly and a good coparenting relationship with her mother.

IMO, I think it was a case of autoerotic asphyxiation. I think his freewheeling and "open" relationship with Asia Argento may have had something to do with it. It seems he went off the rails a bit after he met her.

Perhaps he was introduced or encouraged to use asphyxiation and it went terribly wrong for him. He was always looking for new and exciting food experiences, why not sexual?

I am so fascinated by their divorce. I've read rumors of Katie's lawyer dad having multiple file cabinets, and her using a burner phone leading up to the filing. And wasn't it finalized in record time for a Hollywood marriage? I hope her NDA expires at some point, because that would make some book! I feel terrible for their daughter though. Apparently Tom disconnected from her completely after the divorce, but if that's how he's going to treat her, maybe it's for the best that he's out of her life.

I hope Suri is in therapy to deal with her father's desertion. It's sick. And he should be ashamed of himself.

Scandals wise - what really went down with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.


Cuba Gooding Jr


Ha. There is absolutely no way Mindy would have kids with anyone not a white man.

I've always assumed it was BJ Novak.

I am interested in this one because

The timeline was vague
Tom has no other bio child
Katie is old fashioned enough to have rushed into a marriage to fix the appearance of being knocked up and unmarried while in the limelight
Suri looks like Chris Klein



Also Tom would have welcomed it. It was well known he was literally auditioning young actresses to be his wife. He and Katie matched up because they were each solutions to the other's problems. Katie gets to have a dad for her kid, who is also a big star, may help her career. Tom gets a young pretty wife, which he needs to bolster his heterosexual credibility, BONUS: baby already on the way.


I have read and heard some wild theories on Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise but I can't think of a single reason she wouldn't have just married Chris Klein if she was pregnant with his child. Or just had the child. She was 28 years old! And the kid looks exactly like Katie and Tom.

People seem to forget or let Tom Cruise's crazy cloud the fact that Tom Cruise has consistently been a huge movie star since the late '80's and that anyone that has met him will talk about his charisma and intensity. I don't think it's strange that a young, pretty B-lister would fall for him and then get in over her heard. He is STILL Hollywood gold despite everything that has happened.


Maybe Chris dumped her and she was too proud to beg. If she was 28, she was a young 28 and was not as self actualized as actresses like January Jones or Mindy Kaling who are rare in hollywood to have made the single-mom choice even at much older ages. Plus we are gossiping about them anyway. Katie recovers by marrying a big star within a year of her broken engagement.

Sure Tom is a big star. But celebrity women do not want him, for all the reasons. He could get set up with a no-name, beautiful, fellow Scientologist, but he hasn't done that. Maybe now that he's 60 he can give up pressure to be a leading man in a relationship with an ingenue.


Katie was actually linked to Josh Hartnett for a short time between her breakup with Chris and getting with Tom, so the speculation was that he was the father for a while, but Suri looks a LOT like Tom now.

As for Tom dating a Scientologist they were grooming actress Nazanin Boniadi, who was a Scientologist, to be his next girlfriend before they went with Katie Holmes. They tell the story in Going Clear, and basically tortured her because she confided with a fellow Scientologist about it.

The divorce took only 12 days from filing (although everything was already in place) to finish.

From what I read about him, he was suicidal for a lot of his life. So it was amazing that he made it as long as he did. But yeah, Asia Argento was the catalyst, and she’s pretty terrible. I feel bad for his kid and ex-wife.
