"(Cruise and I are) talking about it. We're having very serious conversations about it, and how best to do it."

"Just to be sitting at a breakfast table not talking about the movie we're making for a minute is such decompression. And just riffing with Tom playing Les Grossman at the table, it was one of the real joys of making this movie," McQuarrie said. "It was all the stuff we were doing, planning the future while slugging out the present." Cruise's latest project sees him reprise his role as Ethan Hunt in the potentially final Mission: Impossible film, which earned a five-minute standing ovation during the Cannes Film Festival. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Multiple sources confirmed that while traveling from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles with her security, the singer was drinking alcohol and lit a cigarette during the flight, which is a violation of federal aviation regulations, reports The move alarmed flight attendants on the charter plane, who said that Spears put out the cigarette. Regardless, authorities were contacted mid-flight. When the plane landed, the 'Toxic' hitmaker was met by authorities and warned about her in-flight conduct, and was then free to leave, reports "This is not her first warning," a source told the portal.

"Over the past 15 years or even at the start of my career, I sat back while people spoke about me and told my story for me,' she said about reclaiming her voice. After getting out of my conservatorship, I was finally free to tell my story without consequences from the people in charge of my life," Spears added.
