Tom Cruise is suing by a magazine editor, Michael Davis Sapir, over allegations the actor hired private detective Anthony Pellicano to wiretap his phone.

According to documents filed at Los Angeles' County Superior Court on Friday (Dec 18, ‘09) and obtained by Tmz.com, Michael Davis Sapir claims that Pellicano bugged his phone on the orders of his client - Tom Cruise.

It is not the first time Sapir and Cruise have come up against each other in the courts - in 2001, Cruise sued Sapir after he alleged to have video evidence that the actor was in a gay relationship.

They settled out of court that same year ( ‘01), and both stated that the tape never existed.

But Sapir is now demanding $5 million in damages over the allegations of illegal wiretapping.

Pellicano is already serving a 15-year sentence for illegally bugging his Hollywood client's phones, as well as a three-year stint behind bars for threatening a Los Angeles Times journalist.
