Tom Cruise Donated $5 Million to Scientology

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Bart Simpson Donates MillionsLast year, 2007, Tom Cruise donated $5 million to Scientology. WOW! I’m ot saying anything bad about this, just that I wish I had the type of money Tom has that I could donate like that. While this may seem huge, Tom Cruise was actually beat by Bart Simpson who donated $11.2 Million. Actually it wasn’t Bart Simpson himself since he is a cartoon, but Nancy Cartwright who is the voice of Bart.

Other donations were by Kirstie Alley, who donated the same amount as Tom Cruise. John Travolta and his wife each donated $1 million each. The donations did get a bit smaller with Priscilla Presley donating $50,000 and Kelly Preston adding another million.

Katie Holmes Denies Suri Rumors

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Katie Holmes at Joan’s on Third

Katie Holmes has finally made a statement towards the rumors regarding Suri Crusie. Remember, just last week one of Chris Klein’s friends came forward and said that Chris was Suri’s daddy?

Katie Holmes had just stepped outside of Joan’s on Third restaurant after eating lunch, photographers asked her if it were true that Suri was Chris’ baby. Katie apparently just dismissed it. So does this mean she still hasn’t actually said yes or no? Or did Chris mean she had been pregnant and either lost the baby or aborted it?

Just moments ago I read that Katie’s rep has come forward to say Katie Holmes is pregnant. Many are wondering if this is true since just last year she told magazines that she had a plan. She would do one more movie and then give birth by the end of 2008, this way by spring of 2009 she could make another movie. Sounds like a plan to me, but if you calculate things this could be perfect timing for Katie. If she got pregnant now she’d be giving birth around November depending when she got pregnant. I guess only time will tell.

Tom Cruise gets Scammed

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Tom CruiseTom Cruise was scammed over the past week, it was all some jerk that tried taking advantage of several actors. The scammer, pretended to be Heath’s dad and claimed he couldn’t get stuff in order to persuade several actors to do it. However, once Heath Ledger’s family found out their rep called several well known sources and told them.

When Tom Cruise got the call he began talking with the guy, but quickly hung up when he realized who he was talking with. He wasn’t the only one that was scammed, they even called Tom’s buddy, John Travolta.

Over the next few days, he “had had a couple of conversations with” Cruise, asking for emotional support, said the source. But Cruise abruptly cut him off when he learned “he was an impostor,” the source said. “Heath’s reps found out there was this hoaxer and they called various celebs.” Sources close to Cruise confirmed the impostor contacted him.

No news yet if they have caught this imposter, but I sure hope they do. It’s one thing to prank call people but to use people that are dealing with something so sad as death is just wrong. For the record, I hate prank callers as well.

Katie Holmes is Pregnant

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Katie Holmes Pregnant againKatie Holmes is sparking rumors today as she was just spotted over at Petit Tressor with Suri. While this normally isn’t news since Katie always taking Suri shopping, it is when she is grabbing shirts that say, “Big Sister.” Hmmm, could we be hearing that Tom Cruise and Katie are expecting another one?

While shopping Katie easily spent over $2000 on clothes for Suri, many were spring dresses but there was the one that stated, “Big Sister.” She grabbed two other shirts that stated, “Little Sister” and “Little Brother.” Course she could be purchasing items for Suri once her new half-brother/sister is born. Keep in mind Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban recently announced their pregnancy.

Tom Cruise, currently has two adopted children with Nicole Kidman and one biological child, Suri Cruise with Katie Holmes. Nicole Kidman is currently pregnant with Keith’s little baby.

What’s your take on it? Who is Katie shopping for? Is she pregnant or is it for a friend?

Suri’s an American Idol Fan

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Suri Cruise on American IdolAccording to Katie Holmes during a radio show with Ryan Seacrest, Suri is a big American Idol fan. Ryan at that point asked if he should send tickets so they can appear on the show to watch, to which she replied, “I’d be eternally greatful.” Hmm, either Suri is the fan or Katie. Honestly I think Katie’s the fan and Suri because she gets to sit with mommy and watch it. I think it would be cute to see Suri one day in the audience. Who knows maybe Ryan would put her on stage. So, it appears they do watch television like us regular folks out here in the land of the not so rich and famous.

My guestion for Suri, what did you think of last night’s American Idol in Omah? I’ve read many reports that people weren’t satisfied with the show last night. What did you think of it?

Tom Cruise to Get Superbike

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Tom Cruise DucatiTom Cruise recently made the comment, during an interview, that if he goes by an accident he always has to stop. Why? Because he knows he can help and anyone that knows they can help should help. Well looks like his good deed is going to pay off.

Cruise will be one of the first, out of 1500 to get Ducati’s new Superbike this week. I guess we’ll be waiting to hear what Tom thinks of this new motorcycle made out of titanium, magnesium and carbon fiber technology. It sounds really neat, oh and to top it off this thing goes up to 200 mph. Granted I doubt Tom’s going to be going that fast but if he’s ever on a race track we know he’ll be flying through the course. Tom Cruise’s newest toy, the Superbike, will cost him $72,500 but I think that’s just a small Christmas gift to him. His bike will be red and white and the first one delivered in the US. I wonder if Connor will be riding this bike or getting one of his own. Any thoughts?

Now I had never heard of Tom being a huge motorcycle fan, but I do know his buddy, Brad Pitt is definitely. In fact Brad even had one of his Ducati’s up for auction for a charity group. I know every time he gets a bike the mags always get a picture of him leaving on it. I hope we see one with Tom Cruise on it.

Tom Cruise a Presenter at SAG Awards

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Tom Cruise graced America this past weeked at the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards. Did any go to this? Maybe catch a picture of the event? If you didn’t, you are in luck I’ve found a site, TomCruiseFan.com that actually has footage of the event. Now I cannot download the video but maybe you can.

Tom Cruise did indeed show up, but no Little Suri was no anywhere in sight. But of course he walked out on that stage looking great, hey for someone taht isn’t young he sure knows how to appear very young and energetic. I can assure you with little Suri he is probably always chasing her, plus he’s always on the go and has two teens. Eekk! I did notice that he seems to have lost some weight, remember a few months back he was putting on some pounds as Katie kept losing it.

Before the Awards show went off they also had a rehearsal, in which Tom actually showed up for. Yes folks, they too have to rehearse, the best thing is there was no picketing done by the writers. Woo hoo! But just because it is a rehearsal doesn’t mean he had to show up in a suit and tie, instead he wore a black blazer, jeans and a turtle neck. I love a man that can actually feel comfortable enough to wear jeans and a turtle neck.

Tom Cruise SAG awards

Take a peek at this picture (Tom Cruise at the SAG Awards with the envelope) and tell me what you think. He did appear to be a bit sad, I wonder if all the rumors of little Suri aren’t getting to him. I know they would me, I don’t care how much I say it wouldn’t. One thing to attack his religion but it is another to go at his little girl.

Katie Holmes Pregnant Before Tom Cruise

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Rumor has it that Katie Holmes was actually pregnant before she met Tom Cruise, at least that is what Chris Klein told a friend of his. For those that may not know or remember, Katie Holmes and Chris Klein were a hot item for five years,suddenly they stopped and two months later Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced they were getting married. This not only shocked Chris but everyone that knew about them, a few months later Katie and Tom announced she was pregnant.

Many were curious on the quick engagement and pregnancy, especially when it took him and Nicole many years. Could this really be his child? Thoughts were that the baby inside Katie was Chris’ but rumors were denied or ignored each time. However, sitting inside a restaurant with a close friend Chris said, “Dude, you know I got Katie preggers.” According to the friend, the subject was never brought up again and it was like it was never meant to be heard.

Chris Klein Got Katie Pregnant

So, here’s the question: Was Katie Holmes pregnant before meeting Tom? If no, had she been pregnant during her and Chris’ relationship and possibly miscarried the baby? Or is Suri really Chris’ daughter? Obviously no one will really ever know unless Katie comes forward or there is a paternity test done. I don’t see that happening any time soon.

The Tom Cruise Book

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Tom Cruise Book

It seems there’s a book hitting the shelves in many bookstores called, “Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography” by Andrew Morton. The book is upsetting many Tom Cruise fans, including Tom himself with claims such as Suri Cruise not being his daughter. I’m sure Andrew knew that there would be a bit of steam from this book and is probably happy to use it in getting more sales. He is also the author of an Unauthorized Posh book and Princess Diana.

Some topics you might find are:

Scientology- This will be talked about thoroughly, which is more than anyone has ever done. But this also means that Scientologists will be very upsetting and most likely denying everything that is spoke of.

The Kidman kids and their adoption and where they go when no one sees them anymore. There will be talk on their upbringing as well as their homeschooling. Did you know that Scientology people don’t go off to college? In my opinion it is probably to keep them in the religion as there would be many influences otherwise.

Nicole Kidman and how the marriage turned sour. Morton will tell us that Nicole acted very much like a diva and was bored with the rich life. Tom would constantly buy her gifts and flowers but this too became too much for her. However she did like the luxuries, so much that if she boarded a plane it better have had cavier. You’ll also learn all about her other love lives before Tom.

Tom Cruise’s childhood and how he was beat up by bullies in school and later would become a success. Andrew will even take you through each of Tom Cruise’s loves until we reach Katie Holmes. Errr, should that be Kate Cruise? Morton will tell us how he believes Suri was brought about using sperm from L Ron Hubbard, etc, etc and about the contract that Katie signed in order to get married. From their honeymoon, their trip through Germany up until recently.

The author of the book researched Tom’s life for over two years, interviewing friends, teachers, etc. Do you really think he got the dirt or was he just reading headlines from the past?

Mad Money’s First Weekend

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Mad MoneyHow did Katie Holmes’ new movie, Mad Money do on its first weekend out? After all we saw Katie Holmes almost every day on the television set with one interview or another.

Weekend Book Office Winners

Cloverfield $41 million

This one is scary the folks inside the theater so much that they are feeling faint by the time it is over. This is definitely a movie I want to see. A monster attacks New York, sure it sounds like King Kong but this is an ugly monster that eats everyone.

27 Dresses $22.4 million

She’s always been the bridesmaid but never the bride. What happens though when her little sister gets the man of Jane’s dreams? While she is trying to figure life out, a guy sneaks in and begins to watch Jane. Will she figure this out?

The Bucket List $15.2 million

When Edward finds out he has cancer he makes a list of all the things he and a new found friend make a list of all the things they’ve never done. The plan is to do it all before they “kick the bucket.” What is it you have never tried and would like to before you die? I’d love to go sky-diving.

Juno $10.3 million

Juno, a teenage girl, is bored one day and decides to have sex with her friend, a member of the track team. But she gets pregnant and decides putting the baby up for adoption. She meets a couple that can’t have children themselves and has her parents check them out. Sounds like it could be a tearjerker for me. In the end, by the time Juno’s pregnancy is over she’s grown up a lot more.

National Treasure $8.1 million

National Treasure again, this time Nicolas Cage is out to find a diary and on his search for it he unravels a bit of history for those watching it.

First Sunday $7.8 million

Two best friends are small time criminals, which finally catches up with one of them. Durrell is told if he can’t pay is $17,000 in debt he’ll lose his little boy they decide to rob a church, but they get locked in. What happens after the two men spend the night in a church?

Mad Money $7.7 million

Three women working in a Federal bank and one is desperately in need of money and another gets wind that they are going to have to burn all the old money. Together the three women, Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah and Diane Keaten play the ladies, put together a plan to steal the money. This is sure to be an easy movie to sit through and make you laugh.

Alvin and The Chipmunks $7 million

Remember these cute little Chipmunks from your childhood? They are now hitting the big screen in their brand new remake and it isn’t a cartoon, this is more like the remake of Garfield. I wonder if Chippettes will be created next.

I am Legend $5.1 million

Robert Neville, played by Will Smith, is the last human survivor that wasn’t harmed by a virus that wiped out mankind. He’s constantly giving radio reports in hopes of finding one more survivor that wasn’t touched. Running out of time, Neville must use his own blood to help those that were infected.

Atonement $4.8

Briony tells of a crime that never happened, it was all a misunderstanding between her sister and her sister’s lover that’ll continue throughout the war.

So there ya have it folks, it didn’t rank to terribly bad since it is more of a chick flick and not an action or horror movie. Did you go see it? What was your take on it? I’ll be waiting until it hits DVD, but I’m almost certain I’m sure it’ll be a movie I purchase once I’ve seen it.

Nicole Kidman Spotted

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Nicole Kidman’s pregnantNicole Kidman and Keith Urban were spotted out in the chilled air last night and the glowing-pregnant Nicole and no bump was spotted. But it was very obvious that these two are very much in love, she couldn’t keep her eyes off Keith. Nicole’s face shined with a glow that no one has seen on her in years, this is only the glow of an expecting mother can give off.

Nicole and Keith showed up at the Australian Open tennis tournament of pal, Lleyton Hewitt. He was playing against, Novak Djokovic of Serbia. When the couple stood up to leave after the game many photographers got their shot, but were surprised with her still slim figure.

This pregnancy will make child three for Nicole and Keith’s first child.

Mad Money Plays Tonight

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Will you be heading out to watch the much anticipated, “Mad Money,” with Katie Holmes in it? Yes, tonight “Mad Money” will be playing in theaters everywhere. Those that have already seen it and writing reviews have rated it around 3 out of 5 stars, it’s definitely a light movie. Great for a quick show and a perfect chick flick.

Mad Money

Basically three female employees of a Federal Bank learn that the bank is going to destroy all the old cash. Instead of just burning it they decide to take it. Of course you’ll have everything from dancing, acting silly to stealing cash in this one. Actresses such as Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Kate Holmes.

Connor Cruise’s Birthday Dinner

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Connor Cruise turns 13

It looks like it was finally time for Connor Cruise to be seen in public. Tom Cruise took his adopted son, Connor Cruise out for dinner for his birthday. Together in matching outfits they showed up with press galore at “The Cuts” down in Beverly Wilshire Hotel, one of Tom’s favorites haunts. I think this is definitely a great place to take a just turned 13 year old…it’ll make him feel like a man. I wonder what he ate though. No news on who all came with, but there were pictures of Tom and Connor coming out of “The Cut.”

Connor’s birthday

Wonder where the Kidman Kids have been? Connor and Isabella have been staying with their aunt, Tom’s sister, down in Beverly Hills as a way of not having to uproot the kids. I give him a thumbs up for that, at least he wasn’t just ditching them.

Katie Holmes on the Letterman Show

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

The cameras were all over Katie Holmes as she exited her black SUV wearing a long red jacket and her usual sunglasses. Katie Holmes is currently running the tv circuits in preparation for her new movie, Mad Money. Letterman quickly greets her and they talk about her first being on the show when she was on “Gordon’s Creek.” Katie quickly corrects him laughing, “Dawson’s Creek.” After that she has to correct him because he states they were in North and South Carolina, but it was North.

Katie says that starring in Dawson’s Creek was great, it was fun and she was making her own money. She loved the cast and crew and everyone was like family. Everyone is now making movie and having babies. Letterman reminds everyone that Suri will be turning 2 very soon.

It is beautiful and you become part of that club. Life becomes magical. Letterman asks if she ever tries waking Suri during naps to play with her. Katie responds with a quick yes, she goes in and kisses her and quietly talks with her. When asked when Suri goes to sleep and wakes up Katie becomes a hero. Suri goes to bed late, 11 p.m. as that’s when they go down but she also wakes at 9 a.m. I have no clue what I’d do if mine woke that late. Mine are like Letterman’s and wake when the sun rises.

Christmas happened to be in Colorado this year where everyone snowboarded and such. They begin talking about the New York City Marathon and Katie explains that one day she’d like to run the Boston Marathon. She explained that at mile 18 she wanted to quit, but Suri and Tom convinced her to finish. Further down the track she heard two guys talking about how far, she heard it was only 20 miles and they had 6 more to go and felt like stopping.

Letterman than asks how she feels about Suri entering the movie business, “Oh I’m excited, she’s very smart and already talking.” Letterman doesn’t sound so sure and even tries (sounded to me) persuading her not to have Suri do it.

Katie Holmes talks about MadMoney, “it’s kind of a buddy movie. It’s fun, it’s kind of a silly movie.” Letterman asks her if she ever saw Annie Hall and she responds with a “yes about 30 times.” The end the show with a clip of Mad Money. The show will hit theaters this Friday.

The Cruise Family Christmas Card

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

For those that missed the Cruise Family Christmas Card here it is:

Cruise Christmas Card

As you can see, Katie definitely goes by Kate and no one forgets their other two children. The card itself is simple white with a beautiful chocolate ribbon wrapped tight around the top. Isn’t it delicious?
