Did he or didn't he? That is the question being raised by conflicting news reports over whether movie star Tom Cruise took a motorcycle spill or not.

According to Hollywoodlife.com, two eyewitnesses saw the Mission Impossible star and well-known motorcycle enthusiast, slide into an SUV while he was riding his Ducati down La Cienega Boulevard. A slightly injured Cruise limped to a nearby restaurant to call paramedics who arrived thirty minutes later.

Sounds good?

Didn't happen according to Tom's publicist, Amanda Lundberg who told E! News that the 47-year-old Cruise was not involved in any such incident.

"Totally false," she says of the report, which also claimed Cruise needed medical attention at a nearby hospital. "Not true at all."

This just in—believing everything you read online can be risky business.

Further denial came in the form of an official Tweet from Cruises Twitter feed claiming 'Tom NOT in motorcycle accident 2day...Tom tells us he hasn't been on his bike in days due 2 the weather, but when it clears up, look out. ;)'

But the controversial star shouldn't act so shocked over motorcycle news throwing Cruise into the media spotlight.

Tom caused a commotion when jumped to the top of the list for the first Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcycle, supposedly upsetting fellow celebrity biker Brad Pitt, with Denzel Washington and Michael Jordan being drawn into the never confirmed celebrity gossip.

And relatively early in his riding and acting career, he did take a well publicized spill on the streets of L.A., coincidently on a sportsbike. But Cruise isn't stranger to the motorcycle passion in either is personal or professional life.

An iconic scene in both is movie career and the 80's film genre featured Tom Cruise racing a Kawasaki Ninja 900 along a runway as a F-14 takes off. His other motorcycle movie appearances included Triumph's in Mission Impossible with the actor riding a simialr bike on the stage of Oprah's talk show to promote the movie.

In his personal life, the actor has been seen in a variety of saddles.

He is among the famous names that own a Confederate Motorcycle (a F131 Hellcat Combat model) and created a paparazzi stir when he arrived at the War of the Worlds premier in 2005 on a Honda Dune with wife Katie Holmes on the back.
