L.A. Confidential: Hollywood's news source comes to SHU

People: Guess what? Tom Cruise is in the news again! Not much of a shocker, I realize.

This time he is rumored to be behind the edited nude scene of his fiancée Katie Holmes in her new movie "Thank You for Smoking." Her sex scene has been cut out of the film, and Cruise is said to be behind it. Supposedly, he doesn't want his future bride frolicking around in the nude.

Here's a little hint, Tom: Katie has been naked before in a film; it was called "The Gift." What now, Tom? My guess: expect copies of "The Gift" to begin "mysteriously" disappearing.

Jason Lee, known to most television viewers as Earl, has been diagnosed with Chicken Pox.

"The My Name is Earl" star halted production on the television show until he gets better, which doctors say could take up to two weeks.

NBC doesn't want the actor spreading the disease, but they asked if he could spread his success to other NBC shows. Considering they will be losing "Will & Grace" and "The West Wing," they are going need all the help they can get next season.

My favorite Hollywood celebrity is doing a little role playing.

Nicole Kidman played an employee of the U.N. in "The Interpreter," but now she will actually be taking on the role of a goodwill ambassador. The Oscar-winning star will be the ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women, focusing on gender concerns within our world. Julie Andrews previously was the holder of this position during the 90's.

Kidman will also be taking the role of the ambassador for the United Nations Controlling Your Ex-Husbands Fund, and saving the world from more Tom Cruise media outbreaks.

Oprah Winfrey ripped author James Frey into a million little pieces on her daily talk show last Thursday.

Frey, author of "A Million Little Pieces," appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show after she supported the book and later found out that much of the book was fabricated and not the memoir Oprah thought it to be.
