A reader tips us to an eBay auction offering box-office superstar/breeder icon Tom Cruise's "Original Artwork." The description is as understated as the piece itself: "Artwork signed ("Tom Cruise"), 11 1/2 by 8 inches, no place, no date, overall excellent condition. The famed actor's signature appears near the bottom right of this simple drawing of a car. Tom Cruise has appeared in 26 films to date." No doubt the sketch was inspired by his role as hot-shot, womanizing driver Cole Trickle in Days of Thunder, or at the very least, his days eating paste in kindergarten. We'll leave it to the critics and auction bidders to determine the artistic and monetary values of the work, which seems to hint at an artist who's struggling with his identity while coping with the costs of fame.
