Tom Cruise News

Last year Jimmy Kimmel declared November 17 - National UnFriend Day (NUD). NUD is a holiday dedicated to giving Facebook users the opportunity to 'unfriend' people without any guilt. This annual event was created to weed out people on Facebook whom users wouldn't usually have contact with in their day to day lives, reserving the connection only for true friends.

Following Halloween, Jimmy Kimmel challenged parents to pretend they'd eaten all of their kids' trick or treat candy, video tape each child's reaction to the bad news and then post it to YouTube. The late-night host shared the results in a video -- and the kids were pissed. The video has grown exponentially over the past week, with more than 14 million views on YouTube.

New Line Cinema's film version of the smash hit Broadway musical 'Rock of Ages' is currently filming under the direction of Adam Shankman (HAIRSPRAY). Tom Cruise, who will star as Stacee Jaxx in the film, recently chatted with the LA Times about putiing on his dancing shoes for the film. Cruise told LAT: 'I had started dancing because I was inspired by my wife. She kept saying, 'You've got to do a musical sometime. Kate's a dancer, so she would say, 'Let's go to dance class,' and she would take us and that's how I kind of came up with the idea of Les Grossman doing hip-hop. And then to take it to this level with this? It was really fun.'
