Richard Johnson at Page Six ran an interesting item this morning suggesting that Tom Cruise, an actor, and Laura Prepon, an actress, have been secretly dating for months. There have been rumors about this couple for a little while now, as Cruise was alleged to have been seen picking Prepon up in an old car and taking her to the Scientology retreat, the Manor Hotel, where they supposedly had fancy wine and laughed and chatted and then flew to space or whatever it is that people in that particular situation do.

That was reported by the British magazine Grazia a while back, but now Johnson seems to have new information. He writes that everyone on the set of Prepon's show Orange Is the New Black is buzzin' about the relationship. Specifically, the source told Johnson, "It's the buzz on the set of her show." So the buzz is on the set, you see. Of her show. That's where the buzz is. Tom Cruise's people categorically deny the claims, saying that the two have never even met.

So! What do we think is really happening?? As you may have guessed from the whole Manor Hotel thing, both Prepon and Cruise are Scientologists, so if they were in fact dating, they probably would have a lot of values and beliefs in common. What those values and beliefs are exactly I'm not sure, but there don't seem to be any real sects within the larger church, so they're probably mostly on the same page. I mean no one's nailed any theses to the door of the Celebrity Centre as far as I'm aware, so there probably hasn't been some great schism that Cruise and Prepon could be on opposite sides of. So maybe that could be a great point of connection for them, their shared faith. I mean, hopefully that's not the only thing that would attract them to each other.

It would of course be nice if they also liked doing the same activities, like driving old cars and going to Scientology hotels and being on Orange Is the New Black. Which they seem to! Cruise obviously hasn't been on that show, but he's been on shows. Hasn't he? Huh, actually, I just looked at his IMDb page and it doesn't seem that he has any TV credits? How can that be? Well, whatever. TV, movies, it's all the same deal, mostly. I'm sure they'd have stuff to talk about. Cameras and makeup trailers and whatnot. They'd make a great couple, is what I'm saying.
