So Mission: Impossible 3 is out Friday, and today Tom Cruise takes over Manhattan to celebrate. Gawker reports on the new dad's GMA appearance. He'll hit TRL shortly, then a Lamborghini (by way of boat) will take him to BET's 106 & Park. What, no visit to crazy Blaine? He's gotta be a Scientologist, no?
As much as Stereogum enjoyed the first big screen Mission, the second upped the silly factor a little too much. Can J.J. Abrams and Philip Seymour Hoffman save this sinking ship? What about Kanye's inflated ego? That's gotta help, right?
No dice. "Impossible," our beloved rapper's reworking of Perry Como's "It's Impossible," leaves us underwhelmed ... though it took 50 hours to produce according to MTV News.
KANYE WEST: "My beats is a whole new art form now. It's not just a 15-minute joint. It's not that fast-food shit. You can tell 'Impossible' took hours."
The song, originally intended for Twista's album, was demoted to M:I:3's closing credits when Tom Cruise called. Dude's pretty powerful -- he can magically cut sex scenes out of Sundance premieres and impregnate Dawson's Creek stars with L. Ron Hubbard's frozen sperm.
Let us know if you make it through the whole thing:
Kanye West (Feat. Twista & Keyshia Cole) - "Impossible" (MP3 Link Expired)
UPDATE: Firetruck. Tom took a firetruck from Times Square, leaving Kanye behind to perform the song: "See ya in Harlem brother."
