Tom Cruise's New Mission: To Blow Stuff Up Again

Didn't see this coming.
Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams have signed on with Paramount Pictures to produce the fourth installment of Mission: Impossible, according to Variety.
As you may recall, couch-jumping and other circumstances surrounding the previous film in the series helped precipitate a very public rift between Cruise and Viacom's Sumner Redstone, which ended the megastar's 14-year-long relationship with Paramount.
At the time Redstone told the Wall Street Journal, "[Cruise]'s recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."
But that's so 2006. These days Redstone is sounding highly complimentary about the celeb, Abrams is hot off Paramount's Star Trek and Cruise remains one of the most bankable stars on the planet.
So when you put it that way, this seems totally possible. Look for it in 2011.
• Reese Witherspoon is looking to make a drug comedy. No, not like Half-Baked. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Pharm Girl is an "aspirational comedy" by the Bad Santa screenwriters about a woman and the pharmaceutical industry, which does make it sound a bit like Half-Baked.
• Jerry Seinfeld wants to help your relationship. Variety reports the comedian has made a deal to create and distribute multiple localized versions of a reality series called The Marriage Ref, in which couples put their problems in the hands of people who truly understand emotional pain: comedians and celebrities. Let the healing begin.
