Quote of the Week ~ Lauren Bacall

Tom Cruise is 'sick', 'inappropriate' and 'vulgar', according to screen legend Lauren Bacall.

The 80-year-old star, once married to Humphrey Bogart, slammed the Hollywood hunk as 'not a great actor' and said she was outraged at his public outbursts about fiancee Katie Holmes.

Bacall had been asked why she objected last year to using the word 'legend' to describe Nicole Kidman, who she described as a "beginner".

She told Time magazine: "A legend involves the past. I don't like categories.

"The word 'great' stands for something. When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise.

'His whole behaviour is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially.

"But I think it's a kind of sickness."

Tom has been forced to deny his whirlwind engagement to Holmes was a publicity stunt to promote their summer movies.

I am in total agreement with Lady Lauren Bacall.

Tom Cruise is just a popular actor. No genius.

These days that any Jack and Jill can win an Oscar just for her sexual jerks from Nicole Kidman to Zeta Jones.

Way to go Lauren Bacall! Good for her to speak out.
