   "The stunt was intended to be light-hearted rather than malicious and we apologise to Mr. Cruise for any offence that was caused," the independent television station Channel 4 was quoted as saying by TVNZ.

    At the London premiere of Cruise's latest movie "War of the Worlds" on Sunday, a reporter held up to Cruise's face a bogus microphone and used it to squirt the star's face.

    The Hollywood superstar Cruise lost his cool and said forcibly: "You're a jerk... jerk... you're a jerk."

    The reporter and the three members of his camera crew, working on a new Channel 4 comedy programme, were arrested but later released on bail. Enditem
