Cruise wins $10m from gay porn star

TOM CRUISE has won a $10m judgment in a lawsuit against a gay porn star who claimed he had a homosexual encounter with the actor, Cruise's attorney has said.

A Los Angeles judge entered the default judgment in late December after defendant Chad Slater admitted his story was false and said he would not actively defend himself against the lawsuit, said Cruise's attorney Ricardo Cestero.

"He is very, very pleased with getting this judgment and is happy to have another ruling by a court that these stories are false and defamatory," Cestero said.
