| When it comes to describing the legendary magnetism of Tom Cruise, perhaps his wife Katie Holmes said it best: "My god, whew, whew." His lion's share of charisma, that grin and an apparent all-access pass to the fountain of youth has led to a career's worth of iconic roles from his breakout turns in "Risky Business" and "Top Gun" to his Oscar-nominated performances in "Born on the Fourth of July," "Jerry Maguire" and "Magnolia." Next up for the man who has everything? Cruise will be channeling his mojo into the character of rock star Stacee Jax in "Rock of Ages." Start fanning yourselves, ladies!
