Tom Cruise - a spy? No, it’s not the plot of Mission Impossible #1997301 - Suri’s dad is being sued by magazine editor Michael Davis Sapir, who claims Tom hired a private investigator to illegally wiretap his phone. Michael is accusing Tom, attorney Bert Fields, and jailed private investigator Anthony Pellicano of conspiring to spy on him.
This is not the first time Tom and Michael have been at odds. In 2001, Tom sued Michael for $100 million after Michael claimed to have a video of the A-List actor engaging in homosexual activities. That lawsuit was settled later that year. Now Michael is suing for $5 million, and Tom’s team is vehemently denying his claims. “The allegations are absolute garbage. We did not even hire Pellicano to work on the Sapir case,” Bert says.
Besides, who needs a P.I. when you have Suri Cruise? She is always sneaking into things, and although she smiles through her cupcake frosting, that little Scientolotot is probably really the one behind this whole operation. When her parents weren’t looking, Suri snuck out to the spy shop and picked up a couple wireless spy cameras and listening devices and set up a little private investigation office in the basement. Tom and Katie have no idea - they haven’t been down there in years. [Source: TMZ, Photo: Getty Images]
Think Nicole Kidman is some uptight Aussie actress, primly married and behaving like the serious 40-something mother-of-one that she is? Think again, suckers! No, Nicole is totally racy, and has gone through some crazy sh*t in the name of sex. Honestly, she’s told us so. In the current issue of British GQ magazine, Nic not only poses on the cover in her underwear and one chiffon glove (maybe she lost the other one), but also talks about her relationship experiences in detail.
Describing her current marriage to singer Keith Urban as “raw and dangerous” and reiterating again that she “never will” discuss her marriage to Tom Cruise in detail (boo), Nicole nonetheless is pretty open about what she’s gone through. “I’ve explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I’ve explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy,” she says. Yikes, who could she possibly mean? Our filthy minds are racing with distressing images of Tom, Keith or maybe even Lenny Kravitz! Nicole - what have you done to us?! [Photo: GQ]
Tom CruiseandJohn Travolta better open the doors of that Scientology Celebrity Center to accommodate another big star - yes, world, Peaches Geldof has decided to join their ranks! In a toe-curlingly awful documentary shown last night on British TV, “Fearne Meets Peaches”, the spoilt dilettante proved that she’s exactly how we perceived her to be, i.e. rude, self-obsessed, generally unpleasant and speaking in a hilarious Transatlantic twang.
But the big reveal from this unholy televisual mess is that Peaches has been a Scientologist for like, two years now. And she explains her religious beliefs in a typically astute fashion: “It’s like, something I agree with? I felt like I needed to have a spiritual path? It’s like I always kind of felt like I was lacking something when I didn’t have a faith. It’s like pop psychology.”
Well, we’re in no doubt that if Scientology want another follower to give their PR-embattled “religion” a positive boost, they, er, had better look elsewhere. [Video: YouTube]
Katie Holmes has rebelled against her husband Tom Cruiseand vast amounts of Scientology brain-training by enrolling their daughter Suri in a Catholic pre-school. According to a report, the super-stylish tot is not going to be committing the works of Xenu to heart just yet, as she’s attending Catholic Charities Yawkey Centre For Early Education And Learning in Boston.
“[Katie] is not convinced by Scientology and has told Tom that she wants Suri to be educated as a Catholic - as she was. They had been having huge problems agreeing on her school. To say they were having arguments is putting it mildly - but Tom came around to the idea in the end,” reports the Daily Mail.
While we’re pleasantly surprised to hear that Katie indeed has a foot, and she likes to put it down sometimes, a little bell is ringing in our head reminding us of Nicole Kidman. Didn’t she end up trying to reject Scientology for her and their adopted kids before the split? We’re just sayin’. [Photo: WireImage]
Boston may indifferent to the Tom Cruise invasion, but that’s just because they haven’t seen daughter Suri order ice cream. While Daddy makes his money on the Wichita set by leaping onto cars, Mommy Katie Holmes and Suri have been seeing the sights and shopping. Judging by her face, we’re guessing that baseball helmet full of ice cream at the Quincy Market was the highlight of Suri’s day. Click on the gallery and get ready to awww.
Tom Cruise, taking a break from shooting Attack Of The Seat Hopper, spent the weekend enjoying Boston with his family, even going for autumnal jog on Sunday with wife Katie Holmes and son Connor. Everything seemed peaceful, but as we flipped through multiple photos of the trotting trio, we couldn’t help but wonder if they were actually evidence of a race: a race to look the tallest. Sadly, with every leap toward the cameras Tom took, Katie and Connor were right behind, shattering his illusions of paternal dominance. Enjoy these moments with Dad while you can, Connor—once you hit that late-puberty growth spurt, Tom will not let you stand that close to him again.

The only thing in Hollywood that confounds us more than the infinite Michael Jackson rumors are the infinite rumors about Tom Cruise, Scientology and anyone Tom Cruise has been associated with. Take, for instance, the latest rumors that Nicole Kidman, who has been divorced from Cruise for ten years, has all but abandoned the children they adopted together. Kidman, who married Keith Urban in 2006 and gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose just over a year ago, seems to have distanced herself from her other children. Connor, 14, and Isabella, 16, live with Cruise and Katie Holmes and appear to be estranged from their mother, to the point where they address her only as Nicole, not “mom”. In fact, Kidman has not been seen publicly with her children since May 2007. Ironically, the whole Cruise clan is currently living in Kidman’s native Australia while Holmes films Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark. [Photo: Getty Images]
How nice to see Suri Cruise having a playdate! The Scientolospawn is so often seen socializing with only adults like mama Katie Holmes or dad Tom Cruise. Today Suri had a playdate with mom and child actress Bailee Madison on the set of Katie’s new film Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, in Australia. The trio played in the trees, got dirty, and checked out the view from a bridge. Playing outdoors just like a real child - hooray! [Photos: Splash News Online]
Being firmly ensconced on the A-list these days means Victoria Beckham can pick some incredible man friends to accompany her to watch husband DavidBeckham play football. The LA Galaxy player returned for a difficult match against the team he played for last season (and wants to play for again), AC Milan, so Posh wisely surrounded herself with some powerful allies.
As well as her dad Tony and son Brooklyn, Victoria was flanked by Tom Cruise (and a hilarious bored-looking daughter Isabella) on one side and her manager/Svengali Simon Fuller on the other, while British pop star Gary Barlow of Take That was also there. And judging by the hostile reaction of Galaxy fans to the returning Becks, which saw him angrily confront the booing crowd, she probably needed them all. [Photo: Splash News Online]
There have been lots of reports and photo evidence suggesting that Tom Cruise is good pals with David Beckham, but a new book goes into detail about just how close Cruise and Beckham really are. In the forthcoming title, The Beckham Experiment, by Grant Wahl, we learn that Cruise has had quite a powerful impact on Beckham ever since they met in 2003. The two stars share the same agency (CAA), PR flack, physical therapist, and they live five minutes from one another in Beverly Hills. The Cruises even threw the Beckhams a “Welcome to L.A.” party when the family moved across the pond, and Becks claims it was Cruise who convinced him to take the job with the L.A Galaxy soccer team. That’s an awful lot of caring and sharing.
Beckham also admits that his youngest son, Cruz, who was born in 2005, is something of a namesake of Tom. Beckham told Wahl, “I must admit, when [Victoriaand I] met Tom, I remember turning around to Victoria and saying, ‘Cruise is a great name, but we could spell it different.”
Beckham does show a measure of resistance though when it comes to Scientology, Cruise’s notorious religion. Beckham says “He and Katie have their beliefs … but me and Victoria have also got our own.” [Photo: Filmmagic]
