From Wikipedia (not a source for defensible references!!)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Redstone_Jr.
"The youngest of billionaire Sumner Redstone's three children, Sumner
Jr. was adopted in 1971 by the Redstones when his adopted father was a
relatively late age of 47 years old, so there is a significant
difference in age between him and his adopted siblings Brent and Shari.
He was brought up in the Jewish religion although he has been rumored to
have completed courses run by the Church of Scientology, encouraged by
his friend John Travolta."

"Redstone Vs. Cruise: Was Lady Redstone Responsible?
It's a cliche to say that some of history's greatest battles have been
fought over, or to end the incessant nagging of, a great woman. And yet
according to Page Six, that is exactly what might have been the catalyst
for what led to one of the most sensational verbal slap-fights in recent
Hollywood history, between semi-fossilized Viacom chieftain Sumner
Redstone and his former marquee kook, Tom Cruise:
According to an insider, [Redstone's wife, Paula] Fortunato, a
former school teacher, was "incensed" by Cruise's criticism of Brooke
Shields, who wrote about how prescription drugs relieved her postpartum
depression.
Our source says Fortunato told her powerful husband, "I never want
to see another Tom Cruise movie again!"
Viacom spokesman Carl Folta said, "It is true that Mrs. Redstone
disagrees with Tom Cruise's views, but she and Mr. Redstone see every
Paramount film." "
One wonders, just wonders?
