Oprah Reveals a Bit About Her New Tom Cruise Interview
Oprah Winfrey has
revealed
some tidbits about the return of Tom Cruise to her show. Yes, he's coming back for two episodes: one in the studio and one in Telluride, Colorado where he takes Oprah snowmobile riding.
I can exclusively report that Ms. Winfrey’s upcoming interview with Cruise includes questions about Scientology, his verbal smackdown with Matt Lauer on the Today show and, yes, the infamous couch-jumping incident.
Winfrey actually revealed these details herself during this weekend's Las Vegas taping of her joint interview with Tina Turner and Cher.
And that isn't all Winfrey shared.
The first of the two-part Cruise one-on-one has already taken place at his estate in Telluride, Colo., Winfrey said. "Oprah said Tom gave her a ride on a snowmobile," one Vegas audience member told me. "She also said Katie and Suri were there for the interview, too."
Before the Cher and Turner taping at Caesars Palace, a member of Winfrey's entourage hit the stage to ask everyone not to repeat anything they were about to see or hear. "She had everyone repeat in unison, 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' several times," my source said.
Come on, O! Did you really think everyone in the audience of 4,000 or so was going to keep a lid on it?
The Telluride segment will air this Friday. The studio interview will air on May 5th. It's the 25th anniversary of Risky Business, the film that made Cruise a star so he's on some kind of publicity tour about it. It was a very funny movie, we admit. But it reminds us of how little baggage Tom used to have back in the day. Nobody knew much about him, other than who he was married to and what his next film was. Good times.
