Tom Cruise Building Emergency Bunker

Tom Cruise is building a $10 million bunker underneath his Telluride, Colorado home, in preparation for some kind of apocalypse. Or an alien invasion. We're not really sure.

The 'Top Gun' star, who is a devout follower of Scientology, is said to believe evil intergalactic ruler Xenu will attack Earth and so has designed a place to hide underneath his Colorado mansion. A source told America's Star magazine: "Tom is planning to build a $10 million bunker under his Telluride estate. "It's a self-contained underground shelter with a high tech air-purifying system where up to ten people can survive for years."

Scientology's founder, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, claimed extra-terrestrial beings were sent to Earth by intergalactic ruler Xenu, who then destroyed the aliens with hydrogen bombs in a volcano. The aliens' souls attached themselves to chosen humans, known as thetans, who will be one day be saved. Tom is a devout follower of the bizarre sci-fi cult and has been hailed by leaders of the faith as the "chosen one" who will spread the word of the religion.

Star magazine is such a reliable source, so how could this story be anything but true? And anyway, maybe the bunker is really in preparation for global warming. Or it could be a place to hide from his fans. Or, it could just be a really awesome party room.

And speaking of bunkers, remember when Dick Cheney's neighbors were so mad at him because of the round the clock construction at the Vice presidential mansion? They were putting in a state of the art underground bunker, just like the one Tom's building. These days, if you don't have a bunker you're just a nobody.
