Tom Cruise's publicists deny reports of sister replacing them

Washington, Sept 26 : Tom Cruise's publicists have shot down rumours that the actor's sister has replaced them.

Sources say that Cruise has rehired his sister Lee Anne De Vette as his publicist last week but his aides insist that's not the case, reports Contactmusic.

A statement from publicity firm Rogers and Cowan reads, "We at Rogers and Cowan represent Tom Cruise worldwide in the area of publicity and public relations. Lee Anne DeVette, who is his sister, is not involved in this area for her brother at all.

"As it was announced three years ago, she remains as his assistant working in areas of his production company that do not include publicity or public relation," the statement added.

DeVette previously worked as her brother's publicist in 2004 and 2005.
