Better Than An Oscar

Thumbtomoprahjump1Hollywood’s really fun trophy ceremony, The 26th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards, has announced Tom Cruise as the winner of the Most Tiresome Tabloid Target of 2005 – a new award category saluting the celebs we’re all sick and tired of.

Former Glen Ridger Cruise, nominated twice in this new category, has evidently become even more annoying than The Simpsons (sisters!),  Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears. He didn’t win it for his anti-psychiatry rant, but for his bizarre behavior with all things related to Katie Holmes, including that ya gotta see it to believe it couch jumping scene with Oprah. It’s the first RAZZIE ever awarded for off-screen behavior.

Meanwhile, Phil Read scooped us again with this feature on Cruise’s former home on Washington Street, and the block’s other famous alum. They include hymn writer William Bradbury who penned the music for the catchy Sunday School favorite “Jesus Loves Me”, and Barista Buddy Neil Baldwin, the scribe behind several books, including the not so catchy “Henry Ford and the Jews: The Mass Production Of Hate”.

And by The Simpsons they mean Jessica and Ashley, not Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa.

Nice link -- now I can't get that Jesus Loves Me song out of my head.

As a semi-newbie to the area, just wondering what # on Washington is Cruise's old house?

I don't know the number, but it's the house with the big closet.

No lie - it's the big pink house just west of Hillside.
