Our pals at Gawker gleefully informed us (they even photoblogged it) that the world's most accomplished, crazy-in-fake-love couch abuser finally found a sofa on which he had yet to practice his craft, exuberantly trampling the cushions over at The View this morning, much to the delight of his clucking-hen hosts. They even obligingly lashed Cruise to the couch with a seatbelt. Funny! But imagine our disappointment to discover that the West Coast feed of today's The View featured John Leguizamo, not the publicity-shy War of the Worlds star. What gives, The View? How can you deprive us of our precious?*

Elsewhere in Cruise:
· Backlash? What backlash? TomCruiseIsNuts.com has been up since Cocktail. [via The Lowdown]
· Cruise and Katie Holmes don't make very good hotel neighbors.
· “'Sex is great, if you are in a relationship,' Cruise told Bild magazine. 'Otherwise, I find sex actually not so interesting. Without a relationship it is confusing.'” Amen, Tom. Amen.

[*Thanks to everyone who let us know that Cruise Cruised The View's couch last Thursday. Apparently, God has punished us for not being regular viewers of Star Jones and the gals.]
