Jim Carrey's new book "Memoirs and Misinformation" comes out next week, and it might get him punched by Tom Cruise.
The book is a fictionalized memoir, with Jim portraying himself as, "an avatar of anybody in my position. Of the artist, of the celebrity, of the star. That world and all its excesses and gluttony and self-focus and vanity."
The book also includes fictional portrayals of other celebrities, including Tom Cruise, but for legal reasons, his name has been changed to "Laser Jack Lightning".
Jim says, "That's just us poking fun at the litigiousness of Hollywood. I know Tom Cruise. He may sock me, but hey, I'll take the beating for a piece of art. I think he's going to love it."
A fictional Nicolas Cage is also in the book, and he was psyched when he heard about it. He told Jim, "I'm so honored, man. You have no idea."
