Tom Cruise spent three weeks talking to books, bottles and door knobs while attempting to perform the (Scientology-related) task of auditing an underling, according to a 15-year veteran of the Church of Scientology, author Marc Headley, in his new book, Blown for Good.

Headley, a longtime employee at Scientology's formerly secret Southern California headquarters, said he witnessed Cruise's bizarre behavior 19 years ago, as the A-lister was coming off big box office hits such Born On The Fourth Of July, Rain Man and Days Of Thunder.
