Real Reason Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes Were Spotted At The Washington Redskins Game

I am so used to seeing Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes attending sports events for Tom's children that when I saw the pair at one of the Washingon Redskin's game, I got confused. The New York Post just gave me some clarity. Dan Snyder, who is the Redskins' owner, contributed $3 million dollars to Cruise's production company. What did Dan get in return? A first look at all of Tom's upcoming projects.

WASHINGTON Redskins owner Dan Snyder is turning into Tom Cruise's fairy godfather. Not only did Snyder give Cruise and his producing partner, Paula Wagner, $3 million for office overhead in return for a "first look" at their projects, he's also committed $200 million to finance their future films. Cruise and his family cemented the deal by hanging out with Snyder at his house in Potomac, Md., going to a Redskins game and to the Six Flags amusement park, which was closed to the public during their visit. Cruise's rep, Paul Bloch, said, "They had a wonderful time," and referred finance questions to Snyder's people, who said Snyder couldn't be reached for comment. (source)
