Tom Cruise Doesn"t Even Want to SEE Suri!
There is very little about Tom Cruise these days that isn’t perplexing. The weird Scientology stuff, the fact that he’s still cast in roles for guys half his age, what’s going on with his butt, and his unexplained estrangement from his daughter.
It looks like things between Tom Cruise and his young daughter are more serious than we’d realized.
According to one of Tom’s friends, who runs a fanpage for him, the aging actor doesn’t even want to see Suri.
It’s no secret that Tom Cruise hasn’t seen Suri in about 4 years.
It’s been reported that one person or another in the mix — sometimes Katie, sometimes Suri herself — hates the arrangement and agonizes over wishing that Tom Cruise would make contact with his daughter again.
But none of those claims have ever actually been substantiated.
We imagine that, whatever exactly is going on, Katie Holmes has explained it all to Suri and also made it clear that this is for the best.
It looks like Tom Cruise is taking an out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach to his estrangement …
… Because his friend, Maryanna Carter, who runs his fansite, is insisting that none of Tom’s fans post pictures of his daughter.
“I am going to ask that no-one post anything with Suri in the future!!”
Needless to say, this is super unusual. Especially for a celebrity whose child is still alive.
Maryanna goes on to explain why, and to tell fans how she will respond:
“She is no longer a part of his life!! If you do, I will erase it!!”
That sounds … really cold. Even for a guy sometimes characterized as a Scientology robot.
It doesn’t sound like Maryanna’s playing around about it, either.
“If you continue, I will have to remove you!! Thanks!!!”
That. Is. Bonkers.
Fans even asked for clarification.
New photos, they understood — maybe Tom Cruise finds it painful to see Suri living her life with Katie and without him.
But were old photos, of Tom with Suri, okay to post?
Evidently not.
“No photos!! His request,” Maryanna wrote.
We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this, because Maryanna doesn’t provide any reasoning beyond “she’s no longer in his life.”
A popular theory behind the Cruise situation is that, when it came time for a divorce, Tom and Katie made a deal.
Katie got Suri, probably because she’s her mom but also probably because she didn’t want her daughter raised by a creepy organization that has been characterized as a predatory business, as a cult, or as both.
What would Katie offer up in exchange? Probably not spilling secrets about Tom. Probably not badmouthing Tom or the Church of Scientology. And probably avoiding public dating for a good long while after their divorce.
Again, this is speculation. But it’s no surprise that Katie Holmes would sacrifice her public platform to secure a better childhood and future for her daughter.
Another theory, though, is that Tom Cruise had to cut ties with Suri because of Scientology doctrine.
Is it possible that Suri, though she’s only 11 years old, is considered a Suppressive Person by the Church?
See, the Church of Scientology regularly requires its members to cut ties with anyone who is critical of the Church.
But does Suri, at 11, qualify for such a “toxic” label? Or is she collateral damage, with Katie Holmes as the “SP” whom Tom must now avoid at all costs?
Quite frankly, we don’t know.
But for Tom Cruise’s friend to say that Tom is the one who insists that fans not even post photos of Suri … that’s quite a revelation.
We have so many questions. We wonder when we’ll ever know the answers. Perhaps when Suri turns 18?
Chrissy Teigen Says She"d Leave Another $1,000 Tip
Chrissy Teigen has a tipping point when it comes to leaving $ 1,000 tips and it has nothing to do with what’s on the menu. We got Chrissy at LAX Monday and asked her about the monstrous $ 1,000 tip she left a waitress at an Ohio Outback Steakhouse…
Meghan Markle: Struggling With New Royal Dress Code?
As far as we know, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not engaged yet.
But despite the lack of a ring on her finger, it seems Meghan is already feeling the pressure to conform to the royal rules of decorum.
Meghan is no stranger to being photographed on an almost-daily basis.
(When you’re the star of basic cable’s 6th highest-rated legal drama, you get accustomed to the spotlight.)
So in some ways, Markle has likely had an easier time than most with the difficult transition from civilian to royalty-in-training.
But there are some aspects of her new life that will likely present a challenge to the Suits star.
For example, the celebrated fashionista will now be strongly encouraged (read: forced) to follow a dress code of the Queen’s devising.
Obviously, one can’t show up to royal engagements in a hot wing sauce-stained bowling shirt, a la John Goodman in the 1991 film classic King Ralph.
But the dress code goes beyond the prohibition of attire that signals to the audience that you’re a working-class guy who don’t know nothing ‘bout this fancy royal stuff.
In fact, it seems the royals share at least one thing in common with reality TV’s most conservative clan, the Duggars:
Both the Queen and Jim Bob are firm believers that knees are for prayin’, not displayin’.
Yes, it seems Meghan’s days of shorts and above-the-knee skirts have come to an end.
According to Cosmo, Meghan has agreed to adhere to the royals’ strict “no knees” policy in her attire.
The rule is said to be the Queen’s invention, and while others in the family may find it a bit old-fashioned, for now at least, what QE2 says goes.
And it makes sense that Meghan wouldn’t offer any resistance.
After all, Markle needs the Queen’s approval in order to marry Harry, and fabric-covered knees are a small price to pay in exchange for a lifetime of being a freakin’ princess.
Speaking of knees, many are wondering when Harry will get down on one.
Rumors of Harry proposing to Meghan have been circulating for about a year now, but there’s still no official news of an engagement from Buckingham Palace.
It’s possible that the couple is secretly engaged.
But it’s also possible that Meghan is growing increasingly impatient.
We don’t blame her. It would suck to shell out for a bunch of floor-length dresses for nothing.
