Daily Telegraph (Australia) THE new Andrew Morton biography of Tom Cruise has it wrong: Tom is definitely not gay. He is, however, quite bonkers and whatever it is that's driving him is clearly much weirder than being merely gay. I'm thinking something along the lines of that episode of The Simpsons in which Selma marries Troy McClure only to discover that he has a fish fetish. To paraphrase a quote: Gay? I wish! Yes, Tom Cruise is strange. Stranger still, however, is the fact ...
