I WONDER IF BATTLEFIELD EARTH IS PART OF THE CURRICULUM: From the unending sea of press on the unraveling of Tom Cruise, two interesting articles on Cruise's latest dustup with Matt Lauer on Friday. And it shouldn't be surprising that the New York Times and Fox News are disagreeing with one another.

Alessandra Stanley of the Times writes that Cruise was "bracing and bold" and that he "outdebated" Lauer. Fox's Roger Friedman, on the other hand, praises Lauer for maintaining his cool as Cruise fell apart.

Friedman also mentioned -- and I haven't been able to find anything confirming this -- that Cruise and Nicole Kidman's adopted children are now apparently home-schooled (with an emphasis on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, naturally) by two of Cruise's sisters, who converted to Scientology at his insistence. (If this is accurate, I'm just wondering what Nicole Kidman thinks of all this.)
