NERVOUS TV bosses have axed an episode of South Park which OUTS a fictional Tom Cruise character as gay — because they are scared the real actor will SUE.
The wacky cartoon shows Hollywood star Cruise refusing to come out of a closet in a reference to rumours about his sexuality.
His ex-wife Nicole Kidman and fellow Scientologist John Travolta are portrayed as trying to coax him out.
Nicole, 38, tells him: “Don’t you think this has gone on long enough? It’s time for you to come out of the closet. You’re not fooling anyone.”
The episode, called Trapped in the Closet, also features Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard criticising Cruise’s acting skills.
The episode is entirely fictional and there is no suggestion that the events are true.
It was shown in America last year but Cruise, 43, is believed to have threatened legal action if it is shown again.
So it will not be screened on the Paramount channel on Friday as planned. An insider said: “Tom is famously very litigious and will go to great lengths to protect his reputation. In the past year this has increased because he has been getting bad publicity over his over-the-top relationship with Katie Holmes.
“But Tom was said not to like the episode and Paramount just didn’t dare risk showing it again. It’s a shame that UK audiences will never see it because it’s very funny.”

I just saw this episode a few weeks ago!! So glad they didn't pull it! Trey and Matt are fearless. It was really funny! Btw, nothing says confidence about ones sexuality like having to SUE anyone that makes fun of you. yeah. way to take a joke. Freakin douche bag.

This South Park episode is a must-see!!! It's one of the BEST!! There's a website that has the episode on it. Here's the link. Check it out, they have the whole episode. I think I'll have to download this onto my home pc tonite in case it gets yanked off of there....

I have it on my Ipod. It was funny but not THAT funny. The virgin mary episode was funnier in a sick and twisted way of course.
