Poor Tom Cruise.

Pamela Anderson gets roasted, and yet he’s the butt of jokes. The “Stacked” star was subject to a roast in Los Angeles recently — which was broadcast on Comedy Central — but the “War of the Worlds” also got a lot of heat.

“One of the roasters, Greg Giraldo, said, ‘Pam, you being the star of a show about books and reading, is like Tom Cruise starring in a show about vaginas,’ ” according to a source.

“Another roaster Sarah Silverman, joked that she knew comedian Andy Dick was definitely straight because he just hit on [Cruise’s sweetie] Katie Holmes,” says another.

Are the organizers behind the event worried that the notoriously litigious Cruise will sue? “They were just jokes,” a Comedy Central spokeswoman tells The Scoop “Tom Cruise can take them however he wants to.”

Don't go Walken to the pollsCandidates for president in ’08 need not fret — they will not be running against Christopher Walken.

An — including a sober-sounding statement supposedly from Walken himself — is a hoax, his rep tells The Scoop.

“It’s time to be smart about our politics. It's time to get America back on track,” Walken is quoted as saying.

“[That site] made me laugh,” says spokeswoman Mara Buxbaum. “Chris has no involvement with it whatsoever. Chris doesn’t even own a computer — he doesn’t know from computers. I suspect it might be some prankster who enjoyed seeing Chris as secretary of state in ‘Wedding Crashers’ and now thinks he should run for president.”
