Tom Cruise has snagged the number 9 spot on Babara Walter’s TV special ‘Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008′.
I am very excited that he made this list! I personally think he is fascinating, which is why I write about him. lol I am also excited about this because it means we get to see him on her special. I hope there is a decent interview with him. I am sure she will ask him about Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise.
Tom’s good friend Will Smith grabbed the number 10 spot. You can see who landed number one on her list when her special airs on December 4th at 10PM ET/PT on ABC.
Congrats Tom!

Oh…..he’s fascinating alright, and I say that sarcastically. Katie can have him….I dislike his constant need to go….go…go…. no thank you!
I’m not so keen on Tom being in the top 10 fascinating people, as he doesnt really thrill me – but I will tune in with the hopes of hearing about Katie and our favorite celeb-u-tot Suri.
I think the Will Smith interview look promising as well, though I think he’s far more intriuging (the word “real” comes to mind) than Tom!
I am curious as to why he is so Fascinating???
2008, maybe because he reinvented himself
this year??? Who knows, I do think alot of others
are more fascinating though!!!!
he is a man who is full of life,love and passion so ı love tom and ı think he is really fascinating
Fascinating? Hmmmm, not sure. Interesting, definitely.
The idea that a man went from being a private megastar to reknowned couch jumper overnight is fascinating. Beyond that I don’t get it either.
Others have done worse, and nothing is held against them, maybe BW feels he needs a break from continuously being put down by sections of the media. I agree with Dido.
Maybe she’s fascinated by the fact that he fathered a child after so many years of rumors that he was sterile and gay – and a cutie pie of a child at that!!
Personally, I simply adore the whole hair plug look. Very sheeeeeek. Why is it that everything I submit is “awaiting moderation”? I speak only the truth. HAIR PLUGS!
I love Tom!
Suri rocks! And so do Isabelle and Connor! And so do Katie and Tom!
I love hair plugs!
How funny Tyler!
Methinks Nicole referred him to her plastic surgeon too. LOL.
Sarah, what are hair plugs?
I saw Tom on ET and he looked slimmer I thought, but he still has the nicest smile and eyes in Hollywood.
