From BBC news website:

Film stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz will appear on this weekend's edition of Top Gear, the BBC has confirmed.

The duo, who are in the UK to promote their action-comedy film Knight and Day, will take part in the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment.

"We've have never, ever had two bigger guests," said a statement on the show's official website.

"For the past week, the air in the office has been alive with a sort of sweaty-palmed excitement."

Knight And Day will receive its UK premiere in London on Thursday night.

The movie, about a regular woman who becomes embroiled with a lethal secret agent, has fared badly in the US, where it has only made $70m (£59m) at the box office - compared to a reported budget of $117m (£76.5m).

Reviews have been mixed, with the Wall Street Journal criticising its "unspecial effects" and Time Out branding the plot "smug and callous".

Time Magazine, however, said the "slick, proficient" film was "proof that you should never count Cruise out", despite a recent run of bad press.

which one drives the car?

£20 says they both own a sodding Prius anyway. I reckon fawning over them and plugging their pants film will be the order of the day.

Humbug.

Will Cruise have to tie wooden blocks to his feet to reach the peddals, like Short-stop in The Temple of Doom scratchchin

Tom Cruise will employ all his training from 'Days of Thunder' - he'll take the first left, then be fooked!

I think they're both having a go.

IINM, Diaz does indeed have a Prius. However, Cruise is something of a petrolhead with several muscle cars and at least one full-house NASCAR in his collection.

Will he be confused by the concept of corners then? wink

Is no-one looking forward to seeing the height difference between Cruise & Clarkson! Tom may force Hammond to do the interview so he can lord it over him...

I hope they call scientology a cult in front of Tom Cruise, now THAT would be funny.

Tom Cruise flys a P-51 Mustang which has a 27 litre supercharged V-12. Not very green really.

Oh and he was trying to buy an F-14 Tomcat (like in Topgun) but that was stopped when the state department decided to make them all non-flyable to stop bits getting to Iran. Dont think he is too worried about co2s.
