Tom Cruise Blasts Biographer's Gay Porn Mole.

TOM CRUISE is threatening to sue acclaimed biographer ANDREW MORTON after discovering he has hired a gay porn star to shed light on his private life.

Morton, who famously collaborated with DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES to pen an account of her life, has hired Los Angeles private investigator and former gay adult actor PAUL BARESSI to probe on-going speculation the TOP GUN hunk is gay.

Baressi has reportedly already given Morton letters from Cruise's attorney insinuating the star enjoyed a homosexual liaison while shooting EYES WIDE SHUT in the UK.

Cruise's lawyer BERT FIELDS is quick to rubbish the story: "I wrote a letter to Mr Morton back in November and said he obviously was entitled to write the book but 'make sure you check your facts'.

"If he tries to use my letter to create the impression that Mr Cruise did have a gay affair, we will certainly sue... because the story is false. Mr Cruise is not gay."

Tom Cruise is said to be fuming after learning controversial biographer Andrew Morton is writing a book on him.

Morton, famous for his biographies on the late Princess Diana, Madonna and Monica Lewinsky, has started researching the actor's life story and is reportedly hoping to release the unauthorised book late next year.

The writer has already been spotted at a Los Angeles restaurant chatting with a former associate of Cruise - who is expecting his first child with fiancée Katie Holmes - private detective Paul Barresi.

In 2002, Barresi was responsible for discrediting claims made by a porn actor that he and Cruise had sex together.
According to reports, Morton was also spotted chatting to attorney Graham Berry who previously represented a psychiatrist involved in a libel suit against the Church of Scientology in 1991.

Berry has refused to reveal what the pair discussed, but is quoted in America's New York Daily News newspaper as saying: "Cruise can be compared to Charles Lindbergh and his support of Nazi Germany."

Cruise's publicist and sister, Lee Anne De Vette, have so far refused to comment on the proposed biography.
