TOM CRUISE - CRUISE WON'T TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST PRANKSTERS

LATEST: TOM CRUISE has deciding not to press charges against the pranksters who sprayed water in his face at the London premiere of WAR OF THE WORLDS on Sunday night (19JUN05).

The newly-engaged superstar was horrified when pranksters spurted water from a fake microphone in his face, at the star-studded red carpet event - but his spokesperson told US TV show ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT that Cruise will not pursue the matter.

After the incident, the premiere events continued as usual and the man who squirted Cruise, along with three of his fellow crew members, was taken into custody by authorities.

They were released several hours later on bail, according to police, and ordered to return next month (JUL05) to face possible charges.
