Can't Find Me! But Call My Agent for an Interview

Andrew Morton's forthcoming unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise--titled plainly enough Tom Cruise: The Unauthorized Biography--seems to have landed the author in hot water--or at least in a good publicity stunt.

Morton is the author of biographies of Princess Diana, Madonna, and Mel Gibson, but has said researching Cruise was his hardest task yet. According to London's Daily Mail, Morton is under such pressure from the Church of Scientology that he's sold his apartment and gone into hiding. Says the author, “I have received threats from the Scientologists and things have become pretty heavy--to the extent that it’s almost more than my lawyers can ­handle.”

Tom Cruise: The Unauthorized Biography will be published January 15, 2008.--David E
