Sumner Redstone Will Always Wave His Finger In Tom Cruise's Face

First, Paramount chairman Sumner Redstone dropped Tom Cruise's production deal at the studio, citing his unacceptable public behaviour. Then, Redstone granted an interview to Vanity Fair in which he elaborates on all the ways Cruise has failed as a producer, movie star, fantasy object for women (including Redstone's own wife), and...human, generally. You'd think Redstone would just trust that he'd left Cruise a hollow shell of his formerly powerful, confident self and move on. But those of us at Fametracker who've been able to look into the future and observe Redstone's next moves -- which we present below, in the form of headlines about the Cruise/Redstone feud -- know that's not how Summy rolls.
