Tom Cruise cares so much about the art of filmmaking that he made a six-hour instructional video about screen acting to mentor younger actors, like Glen Powell. He says it’s very basic.  Quote, “It was something to have people understand, just to have a different concept of lenses and what the lens is and what the frame is.  Just the same way as an actor onstage, or in the development of cinema . . .”Where it started, and what that frame means and how to understand that frame.  There’s just different layers of storytelling, of structure, but also to understand certain things so that you can forget about it.” Elsewhere in his cover story interview for “GQ“, Tom says the rumors are true:  He’s been intense to work with since he was a kid, and he expects a lot from the people he works with. Quote, “I got a very good sense of humor about it . . . When I’m interested in something, I want to learn it.  I want to understand it.” (You can see photos from Tom’s first “GQ” shoot in 20 years here, here, and here.)

Swifties aren’t delusional in picking apart Taylor Swift’s cameo in the “Law & Order: SVU” sketch at The Emmys.  A producer of the show confirmed that Taylor asked to sprinkle in a few OFFICIAL Easter eggs. The hidden messages are the lines that Taylor had.  She said, quote, “I think what we’re gonna be looking for is hiding in plain sight: Saccharide.  Aries.  From the vineyard.  North or south.” So here come the theories . . . One person says, quote, “There are 12 zodiac signs, and Aries is the first.  She has 12 albums, and the first one is ‘Taylor Swift’.  And From the Vineyard equals From the Vault.  Is she hinting ‘Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version)’?” Swifties also think the release could happen during Aries season, which is March 20th to April 19th.  Although, one person thinks Aries, which has a ram symbol, is a reference to the Los Angeles Rams. The Kansas City Chiefs play the Rams on December 3rd.

Florida Georgia Line fans rejoice.  The band just revealed that they’ll be at Stagecoach next year . . . and now they just announced a new reunion tour.  And it’s called Anything Goes Again: The Festival Tour.

WFMD says Riley Green paused his Albuquerque concert to address a fight in the crowd. Green asked the people involved to separate and said, “How can you fight during a love song?
