Oscar Boycott Story 'Not True,' Says Tom Cruise's Spokesperson

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 10th 2011 05:35PM

Anne Hathaway, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: Tom Cruise's people are slapping down a Daily Mail report alleging the 'War of the Worlds' actor and wife Katie Holmes are skipping the Oscars because the event is being co-hosted by Anne Hathaway. Why would someone boycott an event because of Anne Hathaway? A source told the Mail that Holmes was not amused by her peer's recent impression of her on 'Saturday Night Live.'

But as quickly as the story has spread, a spokesperson for Cruise tells PopEater that it is "not true and made up" and that the famous pair had no plans of attending the Oscars before Hathaway's somewhat unflattering skit.

The Daily Mail quoted a now-debunked source saying, "Tom and Katie don't want to have to cross paths with Anne" after the skit. The source said that the couple used to be friends with Hathaway and supported her when she split from her then-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, in 2008.

Watch the 'SNL' skit:

Hathaway, 28, along with James Franco, 32, will host the 83rd Academy Awards show Feb. 27. They will be the youngest tandem of Academy Award hosts ever.

My, my they do think a lot of themselves, don't they? I think their absence will only enhance the viewing experience since the midget Cruise is a drooling, hallucinating, loony who is well past his sell-by date.

well said meeker-my thoughts exactly.

By georgie

Well said! It will be nice not to see his wacky smug face anywhere in the audience, or his robotic wife, Katie.

"Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes May Boycott Oscars Because of Anne Hathaway"

These two really need to grow up.

By Linglisa

Excellent! My sentiments exactly. I wish the two of them would go back to hobbitville!

By Abraxus

Seems a silly reason to be so upset to me - I mean, EVERYONE was couch jumping at some point, are they all on THE LIST too? People need to lighten up and say well hey, I didn't find it funny, but it's all cool!

By VICTORIA

I AGREE, I DON'T FEEL THEY WILL BE MISSED! BIG DEAL! SO HATHAWAY IMPERSONATED KATIE HOLMES....SHE SHOULD BE HAPPY SHE IS STILL IN THE SPOT LIGHT AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW HER....DON'T THEY KNOW IN THIS BUSINESS, HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW???? HATHAWAY DID HER A FAVOR

By Lbrooks

I am personally sick of the Cruise duo myself, but please lets not use the term "midget." It is very offensive and hurtful to someone of short stature.

By Chaz Goodman

Tom and Kate need to grow the fk up. Sounds like grade school.

By Mary-Margaret

The only thing wrong with "Hollywood Royalty" is that no particular care is paid to breeding and training. Some people just need to "get over" themselves. They use the same toilet tissue everyone else does.

By barbara

couch jummping. Well tom did that on tv HA HA what an idiot.
glad they are not going to be there. They had to announce it otherwise we wouldn't notice

By lara

isn't it amazing how they can dish it out but cant take a little teasing themselves. Arrogent out of reality couple....

By John Bliss

Them, I could not have said it better myself! If they are so bitter, we should write Anne to host most of these shows! Let Batgirl and Robin stay home! Way to go ANNE!

By Januali

Oh Gasp!! It is the end of the Oscars if they do this. I really do not think that they will be missed. I can't help but wonder if the real reason is that neither of them stand a chance of even a nomination? Also was it not just last week while standing a line to check out of grocery store that I read that they are no longer together? If ever a couple deserved each other it is this pair of twits.

By sheri

i agree!

By Allison

Bravo!! My sentiments exactly.

I had the misfortune of meeting Cruise when he was filming Days of Thunder in Daytona Beach when I worked the catering. He was full of himself then, too. Nicole, on the other hand, was a total delight to be around.

Katie's "on paper only" hubby has finally managed to drive off the last of her friends. She's totally manhandled by him and not in a good way.

By TEVA

You took the words right out of my mouth.
You think tom thinks they will change there minds about there choice of hosts because of his threats???
He is pretty self important for a Scientologist!!

By Jerry

Who really cares ! stay home then. Arggg
