I recognize the venality, but I couldn't help chuckling at a certain reader response to Gawker's report that Tom Cruise is "in contract for an apartment at the Dakota" for something close to 20 million bucks. Allusions/ parallels between Katie Homes and Mia Farrow's manipulated/imprisoned character in Rosemary's Baby aside, a guy wrote, "I'm going to start passing out copies of The Catcher in the Rye to all the local crazies."

Nice try. But everyone knows Tom's Scientology powers make him invulnerable to bullets.

(Sigh.) I remember back in the day when it was tough (for obvious reasons) for an entertainer to gain admittance to the Dakota. John and Yoko, Betty Bacall, even Lenny Bernstein had to make their cases to the board. Tom Cruise? Have standards fallen so low? It's really all about money now, isn't it? Damn shame.

John Madden lives in the Dakota during football season, I think it's his base home during NFL Broadcast travelling.
