Ever since Tom Cruise played Les Grossman on Tropic Thunder, I've forgiven him for all of his Scientology shenanigans, but this is pretty funny. TMZ reports:
Tom Cruise is ticked off because a t-shirt company is allegedly planning to use his image on a shmatah that will say "sex addict" on the front and "everything turns me on" on the back.
We've obtained a letter sent by Aaron Moss, Cruise's lawyer, to Addictiontee.com, threatening to sue the pants off the t-shirt company if it goes forward with the product, calling it false advertising and consumer fraud.
The letter also says, "...we believe that such photograph is a fake that has been 'Photoshopped' or otherwise manipulated to make it look like he's wearing your t-shirt."
A spokesman for the t-shirt company says the shirt is in production. And the company is acting none too scared, adding, "We're going into production of a t-shirt inspired by Cruise's attorney with the words 'legal addict' on the front and 'I sue everybody' on the back."

I'm not really sure if they have a case here considering calling a public figure a "sex addict" is more of a compliment than anything else. Keep an eye on this Aaron Moss character and his business. Both will probably disappear by end of the week.
