The Romance That Never Was: Tom Cruise and Cher

Look out Katie Holmes! Back in the 80s when Tom was 23 and had just completed "Risky Business," Cher was his 39-year-old cougar. "It could have been a great big romance because I was crazy for him," Cher told Oprah in a recent interview. "He was shy. He said he felt like such a boob in school and nobody talked to him. We went on a date once for dinner in a New York restaurant and the waitress was from his old school. He told me she never talked to him back in school, but now he was recognized he got all her attention." Cher dated Tom for several months until he met Mimi Rogers, the woman responsible for introducing him to Scientology. Seriously, who can compete with a force as strong as Xenu? Sorry Cher. Do you believe in life after love? [SMH]
