Cruise, Hayek Offices Evacuated in Bomb Scare

Even worse than a bomb at the box office? A bomb at the office, period.
E! News has confirmed that the headquarters of United Artists, the production company Tom Cruise resuscitated with longtime business partner Paula Wagner, was evacuated earlier this morning when another tenant in the building received an anonymous bomb threat.
In addition to Cruise's United Artists, the MGM Tower complex, which received the anonymous phone call, is also home to Salma Hayek's production company, Ventanarosa, and the talent agency ICM. All were among the offices evacuated at about 11 a.m.
Turned out to be a false alarm.
The bomb scare, first reported by Defamer, was triggered when an unidentified office worker in the building received an anonymous phone call, claiming an explosive device would blow up the tower at noon.
A memo was subsequently circulated to the complex's occupants, stating that the premises had been thoroughly searched and that no explosive or otherwise suspicious devices had been found.
Los Angeles police have tentatively given the all-clear for workers to reenter the building at 2 p.m.
It's unclear whether Cruise was present at the time of the evacuation, but a rep for Hayek, who just last night appeared at the L.A. premiere of pal Penélope Cruz's new movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, confirmed to E! News that the actress was not there.
