You have to wonder how a story like this generates at the Wall Street Journal. Basically, Tom Cruise and Sumner Redstone––the Paramount chief who very noisily severed Cruise’s deal with that studio––had lunch. Cruise wouldn’t comment. Redstone did, rather extensively. So are we to assume that Sumner Redstone got home from lunch and started calling reporters? Because he really thinks it’s in his best interest to go around talking about how he accepted a lunch invitation from the movie star he previously declared to be too insane to work with?
I’m running out the door, but discuss among yourselves.
