Jon Slams Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton
 

From http://news.softpedia.com/news/Jon-B...ton-8945.shtml

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi criticized actor Tom Cruise for being so desperate for celebrity, arguing Cruise 'court celebrity for the sake of it'.

Jon, 43, declared he respects Tom as an actor, but disagrees him for his behavior after he met his fiancee, Kate Holmes, saying is unacceptable to jump on a couch to declare your love.

Jon also believes Kate is feeding off of his star status, because after she started dating him, she appeared on the cover of magazines.

The rocker told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Some people just court celebrity for the sake of it. People like Tom Cruise. He was always a great actor, but I think the man's lost it.

"You won't ever catch me jumping up and down on Oprah going on about how I love this woman. And then others start feeding off it. Suddenly Katie Holmes is on the cover of magazines."

Jon wade into Paris Hilton too, by saying she has absolutely no talent, but yet she is famous, "famous for being infamous."

He said: "These people claim they hate the intrusion that fame brings but then they bring it on themselves by having huge entourages wherever they go, attracting attention to themselves. It's a great fallacy.

"Another one is Paris Hilton. Famous for being infamous. And then the people who should be getting the attention, people like Bob Dylan, aren't. It's sad."

Aloha !

His Bob Dylan talk is getting a bit annoying right now. Seems like he has to bring that in in every interview! :o

Have to agree with him though.

He said the same exact thing about Tom Cruise at that Elements thing. I also have to agree with him.

I love Tom Cruise' films, but Jon's right - The guy has lost his mind. He's also coming off like a complete moron with all this "anti depressant drugs do no good" bullshit.

Yeah, that crap is annoying the heck out of me. Nicole Kidman even shot back at that one being her dad is a psychiatrist. But Lean Reamy (sp?), that King of Queens chick who is also a Scientologist, really pissed me off. She went on about how she wouldn't feel safe leaving her child with someone like Brooke Shields. That is taking it too far in my opinion.

I think people like JBJ should stick to talking about himself instead of bashing them other celebs. He aint any better than the people he bashes.

It is good to see him doing some bashing. Help tame that goody goody image that everyone loves so much. :)

I like Jon's goody image. In the DA album cover he's going for this rough Jovi-noir look, and it doesn't work at all. He just ends up looking jovial :) and sweet. He always looks like the guy you want to polish of a bottle of rum with, because you can be sure he'll carry you home. Bon Jovi's music is goody-goody music. Jon can't go all Axl Rose without looking ridiculous.

totally agree on that. when jon attempts bashing, it only comes out as whining
