Tom Cruise to Oprah: 'Life isn't perfect.'
This just in from Tom Cruise:
"Life isn't perfect."
Well, you could have fooled us. On Friday's "The Oprah Winfrey Show," sponsored, apparently by the Telluride Chamber of Commerce, Oprah Winfrey and her camera crew made the long, though terribly scenic, trek to the movie star's Colorado home for their first interview since the infamous "couch bounce" three years ago. After a strangely brief appearance by Katie Holmes and her astonishingly perfect hair, Cruise and Winfrey went on a tour of the family home -- from "the mudroom," where a pair of fleece-lined slippers marked "Oprah" filled one cubby, to daughter Suri's little "office" under the stairs, to the study where bound scripts from Cruise movies line the bookshelves (yes, there was "Cocktail," front and center) -- before settling into an overstuffed sofa.
"This is just so normal," Winfrey exclaimed as the two stood in the enormous, professionally outfitted kitchen while the camera went from the breathtaking mountain views to the plate of cupcakes on a kitchen table. You bet. Just two superrich, overexposed media icons sitting around talking.

Ray Romano on TNT
Ray Romano and Mike Royce, partners in the Emmy-winning "Everybody Loves Raymond," will write and executive-produce a pilot, "Men of a Certain Age," for TNT, the network announced Monday. Romano will also star in the project as a divorced father and one of three longtime friends approaching midlife.
The project is the latest in TNT's new push to expand its weekday prime-time schedule with original scripted dramas. The cable network has green-lighted "Raising the Bar," a Steven Bochco project starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Gloria Reuben and Jand Kaczmarek, and "Truth in Advertising," a series by the team behind its biggest hit, "The Closer."
