There's an article in the new VF about a war between David Geffen and Sumner Redstone. I found the following paragraph interesting:
' The first tremor came 8 months after the merger, in August 2006, when Redstone suddenly "fired" Tom Cruise from a Paramount production deal; though it had been Grey and Freston who decided to let Cruise's deal lapse, it was Redstone who, in a series of interviews, blamed Cruise's erratic behaviour-jumping on Oprah's couch, etc.-for disappointing ticket sales for MI-III. Redstone clearly enjoyed his moment in the sun, but his criticism of Cruise broke one of Hollywood's long-standing commandments: Suits Do Not Publicly Criticize Talent. In the DreamWorks camp, no one is more respectful of Hollywood traditions than Spielberg, who was irked by Redstone's comments. Ironically, the incident came at a time when relations between Spielberg and Cruise were poor. Spielberg felt the actor's antics had hurt his own movie, War of the Worlds. Far worse, though, had been an episode when Spielberg told Cruise the name of a doctor who had prescribed medication to a relative and the doctor's office was subsequiently picketed by Scientologists.'

I'm guessing that TommyGirl won't be working with Spielberg anytime soon.
