It's a shame that Tom Cruise doesn't believe in medication for the mind, since his recent behavior suggests he has lost his completely. Anyone who saw his guest stint on "Oprah" would have a hard time recognizing the hyperactive buffoon jumping on couches broadcasting his love for Katie Holmes. What happened to the humble guy who frontlined movies and kept his private life out of public earshot?

Those days are gone, but the days of Cruise making serious bank at the box office are still rolling. According to Variety, Paramount has officially greenlit Mission Impossible 3 with production slated to begin on July 18th. The movie is finally taking place after extensive negotiations, some of which include trimming the budget by at least 10%, wiping out plans to shoot in several exotic locations, and modifying Cruise's paycheck. How will the man eat if they knock a few million off his paycheck?

Sanity in check or not, Cruise has consistently proven his movie star status through numbers. The original Mission Impossible grossed $456 million worldwide, second installment made $546 million; The Last Samurai grossed $457 million worldwide, and Minority Report raked in $358 million. His upcoming alien extravaganza War Of The Worlds is likely to blow the competition away too and make many corporate entities very happy.

Mission Impossible 3 hits theaters on May 5th, 2006. Meanwhile, look for one of his Scientology booths at a sidewalk near you.
