According to MonstersAndCritics.com, Tom Cruise will star in a special episode of the BBC hit “Doctor Who.”

The BBC is also aiming to have Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Madonna appear in one of three super-sized “Who” specials, which will be filmed in 2008 but won’t air until 2009.

According to a source of Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “BBC producers know they can’t pay these stars what they are used to, but what they can offer is an exciting role in a real cutting-edge show. And the big stars love that kind of kudos.”

Kylie Minogue stars in this year’s “Doctor Who” Christmas special, “Voyage of the Damned,” which will take place on the doomed Titanic.
