What has more potential explosions than a Tom Cruise movie? A Tom Cruise office building, it turns out.
For the second time this week, Los Angeles' MGM Tower, a professional complex housing the production companies of both Cruise and Salma Hayek, has been hit with a security threat, this time over an anthrax scare.
Sources confirmed exclusively to E! News that a building-wide memo has gone out informing all tenants of an anonymous threat phoned in to the building's main switchboard stating the deadly virus would be placed into the building's ventilation system, starting on the 20th floor.
The Cruise-run studio United Artists is housed on the tower's 11th floor; Hayek's Ventanarosa production company is located on the second.
It was not immediately clear whether either star was at the office building today.

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.

Shia LaBeouf's mother wants the world to know: The kid is all right.
In recovery, but all right.
Shayna LaBeouf told E! News that her 22-year-old action-star son remains at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after undergoing "extensive hand surgery" in the wake of his truck-flipping, DUI-inurring car crash.
"I'm at the hospital right now, he's doing fine," said Shayna, who has been keeping watch over her son since his wreck in the wee hours of Sunday.

Mindy McCready's hope for a comeback just got pushed back, after a drug and booze binge landed the troubled country songbird first in the emergency room of a Tennessee hospital and then in an Arizona rehab center.
"Mindy McCready did receive emergency care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center," her publicist tells E! News. "Other issues made it prudent for her to seek longer-term and broader-based treatment."
"To her credit," says the singer's publicist, "she has entered into an extended-care facility where she will receive the care needed. And for the moment we ask that everyone respect her privacy."

A key figure in Rob Lowe's Nannygate is claiming the Bill of Rights trumps those of the erstwhile West Winger.
Per court records obtained by E! News, a lawyer for one of the two former nannies engaged in dueling lawsuits with the actor and wife Sheryl is seeking to have the Lowes' case against her client dismissed on the grounds that the suit supposedly infringes on her inalienable right to air her dirty laundry.
