*Tom Cruise’s son Connor has been dropped by his DJ agent following a spat over a Super Bowl text judged to be homophobic.
The 17-year-old DJ was not happy that the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots. His agent, Todd Krim, teased Cruise with a tweet after the game, writing, “Sorry @TheConnorCruise maybe next year!!!”
Apparently, it was too soon to be talking trash to the die-hard Pats fan. According to an e-mail forwarded to publicists by Krim, Cruise texted him back, saying, “That was a gay ass f***ing tweet . . . U don’t say sh** like that about my team the second they lose. Low.”
When Krim — who heads entertainment/charity Web site Give Back Hollywood and helped book DJ gigs for Cruise — wrote back, “Umm ok . . . Dude I was f***ing joking,” Cruise responded, “That was [bleeped]” and “Idgaf” (“I don’t give a f***]).”

On Monday, Krim e-mailed colleagues with a screen grab of Cruise’s texts, saying, “I am no longer working with Connor Cruise. In fact, I am no longer speaking with [him] . . . I refuse to be professionally (or even personally) associated with someone that engages in this sort of behavior . . . I just thought you should know who and what you’re dealing with.”
He called Cruise’s comments, “highly offensive and what I consider homophobic . . . after I jokingly tweeted about the Patriots losing.”
Krim told The Post, “I did a lot for [Connor], and he was less than respectful and appreciative . . . I made a joke, and let’s just say his reaction was not what I expected. It’s disappointing when you think someone is one way and they turn out to be another.”
Connor has since released a statement to The Post through his rep, saying, “What I texted was unacceptable. It is not a reflection of who I am and what I feel, and it certainly won’t happen again.”
*Picks up megaphone and turns the volume ALL OF THE WAY UP*

I don’t know why they keep insisting that this is the “adopted” son of Tom Cruise. That kid looks like Tom Cruise carried him his self. He’s just got his mother’s complexion…
u know Steph i was thinking the same thing
Wow … This is my first time seeing Coonor since he was a very little boy. He DOES look like Tom Cruise, ESPECIALLY the eys and that mouth. Isn’t there an “adopted” daughter as well though???
Yes Grace 12-34, there is an “adopted” daughter, and she’s a BEAST!!! . . . . Next, and how old is “Todd”, that he’s arguing with a skeet-less 17y/o?
so tired of the backtracking. u say, write, tweet something, man up and own it.
So does that mean that GLAAD will go after him too??
