According to Celebitchy there is a long history of weirdness between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and now that Angelina Jolie got Tom’s role in “Salt” the tension is growing. According to the National Enquirer:

Ill will between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise threatened to boil over when Angelina Jolie snatched a plum role as CIA agent-turned-spy Edwin Salt, sources say. Tom was reportedly haggling over salary and control of the movie, prompting execs to cut off talks with him. After Angelina expressed an interest in the role, it was rewritten for a woman.

“When Tom saw they’d changed the character to a female and renamed it Evelyn Salt, he was not pleased,” a friend says. “Tom really wanted that role, and the rug was pulled out from underneath him.”

When Brad heard that Tom was grousing about it, he started calling Cruise “Dr. Strange” said the source.

The animosity between the two actors dates back to 1993 when they costarred in ‘Interview with a Vampire’ and Brad said that he hates making the movie because of Tom.

“He bugged me,” Brad was quoted saying in published reports at the time. “There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him. He’s North Pole, I’m South. He’s always coming at you with a handshake, where I may bump into you. There was this underlying competition that got in the way of any real conversation.”

Tom, whose rep denies there is any bad blood between the two, has been a huge star since 1983’s Risky Business, but Brad didn’t get his big break until 1992, and there was a definite pecking order on the “Interview” set, the friend says.

“Brad felt Tom big-leagued him. He wasn’t gracious and acted aloof around Brad,” said the friend.”

Celebitchy also goes on to say that Brad really wanted a one-of-a-kind motorcycle so Tom went out and got it so Brad couldn’t, and that Tom threw a fit when The Brange was declared to be a “sexier” couple than TomKat, and that Brad called Valkyrie “ridiculous”. lol, this story just seems to smutty to be true. Therefore it is awesome

In true I Smell Smut fashion I’d like to post a poll: In the Question of TomKat vs The Brange, which couple do you like better?

Stacey: Oooooo, this is a tough one.  Because as much as I dislike Brad and Angie because I think they think the are better than the rest of us, I also reaaaaly dislike Tom.  But that is it.  I dislike Tom.  I feel bad for Katie.  However, the thought of these two having a giant pissing match makes me very happy

I am going to have to go with The Brang on this one.
