HOLLYWOOD - Tom Cruise has reportedly stopped an episode of South Park that mocks him from being aired in Britain.
 
The show, in which Nicole Kidman and Cruise's fellow Scientologist John Travolta are depicted attempting to coax an animated version of the actor out of a closet, caused controversy when broadcast in the U.S.

The cartoon Kidman tells Cruise, "Don't you think this has gone on long enough? It's time for you to come out of the closet. You're not fooling anyone"—referring to allegations about Cruise's sexuality.

According to TheRegister.co.uk, Paramount has agreed not to show the episode again, after Cruise complained.

A source tells the site, "Tom is famously very litigious and will go to great lengths to protect his reputation. Tom was said not to like the episode and Paramount just didn't dare risk showing it again. It's a shame that UK audiences will never see it because it's very funny."

Typical hollywood can satire all they want . But let some do it to them and look the hell out . The person who does it should be hung in the town square for all to see.

One of the reasons I like south park . They hit everyone .

Scientologists sue at the drop of a hat anyways, in fact South Park makes fun of this in the epp as well.  But really what do you expect from a country were it could be a crime to be intolerant or offend somone.

They'd better leave it on the DVD when it comes out.  That was a funny one.

lol, thanks for the link to that episode. South Park is great.

I liked how they had the "This is what scientologists actually believe" splashed across the scenes.

The episode where they made fun of the mormons was funny too.

WAH WAH WAH TOMMY.  That guy has such a big ego or such a small self esteem he can't take a joke.  Should have figured though, due to his reaction to being squirted.  *******!

Poor Scientoligists.  I recall the episode where John Travolta realized he didn't have to suck...... to keep a bike going.  

Tom Cruise is a p*ssy, Paul Newman should have Lee Van Cleefluffied his arse in the Color of Money.
