Mission Improbable: Tom Cruise Returns To Oprah Winfrey’s Couch

The world's most entertaining Scientologist, Tom Cruise, is set to return to Oprah's couch, where he will face his most challenging role to date: acting normal. Cruise's previous over-exuberant appearance on Oprah's soft furnishings in 2005, during which he debuted his much imitated scary laugh, proved to be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons, so the move is a Risky Business for the star.

Oprah will tape an interview with Cruise at his Colorado home, in which, according to a press release sent out by the show, he will discuss "his family, his life and the future." Cruise will then head to Oprah's headquarters in Chicago to tape a show on May 5 celebrating his 25 years in show business. The interview is good news for Oprah, but it remains to be seen if the actor who was once Hollywood’s Top Gun can repair his damaged reputation. Regrettably, the Daily Mantra thinks that mission is impossible.
