Tommy Boy has fired his publicist---his sister.

LOS ANGELES -
Tom Cruise has replaced his sister with a Hollywood insider as chief handler of his publicity.

The 43-year-old actor hired veteran publicist Paul Bloch, who's also a co-chairman for publicity firm Rogers & Cowan, according to the Daily Variety trade paper. Bloch also will oversee publicity for the actor's production company Cruise-Wagner Productions.

Bloch replaces Cruise's sister, Lee Anne DeVette, who took over as his publicist in March 2004 after he left longtime representative Pat Kingsley.

"Lee Anne has done a wonderful job on behalf of myself and Cruise-Wagner Productions over the last few years," Cruise said in a statement. "But she has always expressed a desire to oversee and expand the day-to-day activities of my charitable endeavors."{...}

Tommy Boy might think that he's letting his sister down easy here, but let's face facts: she may be overseeing his charitable excursions, but he just shitcanned her. For being a "yes" woman. For letting him do exactly what he wanted to do.

That's just cold. Brrrrrrr.

So much for sibling love, eh?
