Tom Cruise's Private Pain? - Kneepads Does It Again


Kneepads put Tom Cruise on their cover this week and pulled out their extra big kneepads for the story. I don't know how many favors Tom's people had to call in, but I guarantee you that if John Travolta ever decides to come out, Kneepads has been promised that cover. They are going to get some huge payback for basically telling the world that Tom is the victim here. This just shows you that they will publish anything a publicist tells them to publish. You cannot look at that cover and think to yourself it is in any way objective. It's not. The sad thing is, if they did some actual reporting they could make a big difference in the lives of people who only get their gossip through Kneepads and are pretty sure that Tom & John Travolta are sexy leading men who are so straight that it hurts their spine to be that straight and that Scientology is a wonderful support group.

Tom did see Suri yesterday. That makes 1 visit.

  2. That's a hiliarous cover. It's hard to believe I used to eat up these magazines and believe them years ago. It's weird listening to my mom and sister believe all that stuff, but you can't tell them anything. They won't believe me, so I keep my mouth shut now.
    Glad to have you all!

  6. I do believe he's shattered about losing Suri, but I think it's less about a dad losing his daughter and more about losing a future scientology leader.

  7. I'm sure you guys saw this gallery but if not, it's worth looking back at tom and nicole... if only for tom dressed in a blue velvet suit.

  8. Tom needs a new surgeon. He looks like he's morphing into manorexic Ben Stiller.

  9. Kneepads? More like xenupads

    ReplyDelete
  10. He's more worried about what Miscavidge is going to do to him as punishment for losing to Katie and blowing up Co$ in the public eye.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Poor Tom. I had no idea how much he was hurting. He must be truly devastated. I can't believe what a crafty bitch Katie is.
    But Kneepads says so, so it's true.

  12. @ rejectedcarebear , LOL.

  17. Oh no! That was to Vicki's comment - not Agent **it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. @Vicki yep, Xenu is satan. I don't think anyone else on this blog has realized that yet. Hubbard is their god, Xenu is the devil.

  22. Sunny - you made me laugh! Good morning, Sunshine :-)!

    I've been meaning to tell you - whenever I put on my workout clothes (really just shorts and tees), I think about your description of your entire family headed off to the gym in the '80's wearing leotards and headbands :-). Wasn't that just the worst? I blame Jane Fonda, or maybe Flashdance? My dance recital pics from that era are a sight, I know that much! Down to the sequined headband.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Haha...I do like "church lady" for a new name.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Agent other sites use Tom Thunb.

    How about Tombelina or Cruise Control?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Kneepads is enty's satan.

  26. For the love of Xenu! We must pray for our son Tommy Girl in his hour of despair. Lets all join hands!

    ReplyDelete
  27. How about Tom Thumbelina?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh Vicki, you make me laugh.

    I am still thinking about your suggestion for Katie to take Suri to Roswell for Halloween.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Really Xenu is their devil? Interesting...

    Now I REALLY want that T-shirt!

  30. Xenu is bad? I thought the Scienonuts wanted to be Xenu, since they are aliens and all.

  31. Nutty Flavor and I would prefer a name isn't feminized, like being female is an insult or slight, ya know?

    (Nutty, I hope you don't mind me throwing your name in here.)

    I'm behind Tom Thumb until further notice. Not because of his small stature, but because of his small character/hiding behind Scientology.

    ReplyDelete
  32. agree with Frufra about feminized name. like the cruise control suggestion!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I was thinking female because he's a little bitch.

    >:)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Did anyone else see the pics of Tom and Suri for their reunion? Suri is clinging to him with such force. I feel really bad for her. Can't tell if Tombelina actually cares or just a photo op.

    ReplyDelete
  35. OK, finally figured out how to post here. Can't even remember what I was going to say!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I could live with Cruise Control.

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's been years since I read up on Scientology, so I prob don't have all the details right, but it was Xenu who made/is in charge of thetans. The thetans are the aliens inside all our bodies that Co$ audits out of your body.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I thought NuttyFlavor was a Scientologist too.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I got it!

  40. Pretty sure it was Nutty and I ranting together on another thread. Lord knows my memory is all perimenopause - y and shit. But I think it was Nutty, and I've never thought she had $ciento-leanings. But help me out here, people!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Good work, Vicki! I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  42. So it's Tom Thumb or Cruise Control? TT or CC.

    Was hoping for something with more drama but my brain is on autopilot. Need coffee first

  43. @Frufa
    Good morning! Your comment made me laugh - thanks! I think we were channeling Olivia Newton John from the Let's Get Physical video. I totally remember digging through my sister's box of terrycloth braided sweatbands for the perfect one to match my getup. Thankfully I saved my pink and white checkered leg warmers for school days. Duh. (I also remember throwing my silky Dove shorts on over said leotard. Gross!!!!!)
    Wouldn't be hilarious if readers could submit their worst dance recital costumes? I wasn't in dance, but I have clear recollection of my friend Kara's sequined mini top hat (with a chin strap mind you) shimmied off to the side. Her troop jazzed it up to Jump (For My Love). Still love that song

    ReplyDelete
  44. Love it @Vicki!

    McGlib.

    ReplyDelete
  45. No one is going to beat McGlib. @Vicki -seriously, lady. SNL writer. Look into it

    ReplyDelete
  46. OMG - I danced to Jump also in recital!! Good times - and I def had a sequined headband on then. I believe the leotard was black with a sequin rainbow running diagonally from my left shoulder! You must also know that I was an awkward 8th grader and I wore a size 14. Not a confidence-booster, that outfit :-).

    Ok, looked back at my convo with Nutty this weekend (under the pic of Tom "kissing" his costar), and she suggested L. Ron Cruise. Whattya think?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yes, dia, i did. And the more i see suri, the more i think there is something seriously wrong with her. She cant relate to ither kids. It looked to me like she was scared of that puppy. She clings to her blanket and stuffed elephant constantly. She never smiles, never enjoys doing any normal kid activities. She clings to her parents , practically wraps herself around them. She diesnt like the paps at all, yet katie parades her around for them all the time. I think ghis little girl may be a bit autistic. Doesnt like crowds, loud noises, cant relate to others. I have never seen a picture of her smiling! Thats idd, considering all the shits we've seen of her. It seems to me this little girl needs some time out of the spotlight, nice and quiet, so she can get centered. I think perhaps both parents are trying to turn her into something shes not capable of being. Anyone else nitice this? And im not being mean or gossipy, im thinking of suri.

  48. The only reason Tom is shattered is because Katie beat him to the divorce and he didn't get to CONTROL everything.

    Now him playing the victim THAT is really funny! Yeah, that big bad Katie is a real diva, don't ya know...I just don't know how the poor pathetic thing (Tom) endured it...(cybersarcasm!)

    ReplyDelete
  49. @auntliddy - i don't think anyone should diagnose people they have never met with autism, especially when the only pictures you see of them are pap photos. Any normal kid WOULD look uncomfortable when they're being swarmed by crazy strangers, who are shouting things at their parents.

  51. Cathy, Suri has been diagnosed by some commenters as being a sociopath also.

    ReplyDelete
  52. auntliddy, I didn't think Suri was afraid of the puppy. It looked more like her throwing a tantrum because she couldn't get one.

    I'm not sure there is anything wrong with Suri, other than she has been given everything she wants, and is completely sheltered. Of course she doesn't know how to relate to other kids, and she can't handle being told no.

    ReplyDelete
  53. @cathy - I think @auntliddy made some valid points. And then she apologized. No need to get snarky.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If Suri can't relate to other children, it's probably because she hasn't been exposed to many. She always seems to be around her parents, and if they truly had her best interests at heart, they would stop dragging her around for all these pap shots.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Think we should we vote at the end of the day/night? (There's a lot of PM readers,I think).

    Help !

    It has to be the best because other blogs think CDAN readers are nuts.

    @vicki - I think you should write for Patton Oswalt. Seriously, read his Tweets (twats, whatever).

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm not getting snarky - I just think it's really not okay to try and diagnose a kid you've never met, especially when the only pictures you see of her are pap photos. She didn't choose her parents or her life, so it's bad enough that she's being traumatized every day by getting cameras shoved in her face by strangers who shout stuff at her parents every time she's outside. Any normal kid would look unhappy during that, so I just find it ridiculous when people use that as evidence of some underlying emotional/health condition.

  58. Also, I believe there were some photos of her with other kids after a dance class last week, but the other kids were conveniently cropped out.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Suri is adorable and trying really hard to be normal. In the pics of her out with Katie and her grandma at the zoo, she was smiling in some of them but in many she looks like my grandson looks when he's learning something new and exciting, just absorbing the moment. She looks, to me, to be a 'normal' little girl who is experiencing things normal little girls experience at her age: the zoo, ice cream, pet stores, gymnastics. She pouts when she can't have a puppy. Normal. She doesn't like people in her face all the time. Who would?! Her parents have their agendas, which sucks for her but I don't blame Katie at this point. This is about Suri getting free of that cult as much as Katie and the only way to do that is publicly. Unless they cut Tom free, she will always be their target. Just hoping things settle down for the little one. Quite a few pics of Suri smiling over the years and I imagine there will be many more to come as they break free and she's allowed more 'normal' people into her life, such as grandmas, aunts, cousins, friends.

  62. @ Auntliddy, this is an innocent little girl that not one of us knows how she is behind closed doors! I think it is really wrong to say she is autistic judging by pictures that she does not want to be in!

  63. I'm down with McGlib, but will also accept L. Ron Cruise :)

    People can obviously say whatever they want, but I'm in agreement with Cathy. I have 2 little ones, so everyone "diagnosing" Suri as a sociopath and such is a dagger in my heart. Didn't some of you guys hide behind your parents when ONE adult would say Hello to you? Imagine those Pap a-holes swarming you every single day and yelling. It would scare the shit out of me as well

    ReplyDelete
  64. I feel sorry for Suri. Poor kid can't even be taken to the zoo without being stalked by paps. On the other hand, there have been photos of her with another little girl traveling with them, so I think Katie is trying to get her some social activity with kids her own age. But seriously - they can't do anything normal, not even go out for ice cream, without photographers following them - it's sad. But then I think of those photos of Tom going in and out of his hotel yesterday carrying the child, and wonder about all the hotels with underground parking and elevator access from there - why must celebrities be dropped off directly in front of the hotel unless they want to be "seen?" And then I think of the months Katie Holmes has been in NY and stealthily got an apartment, different phones, fired staff.... all totally under the radar. There's a small war being played out in the public eye here and if they want to go underground they can. If my child were that frightened every time we stepped outside, you better believe I'd be making sure NO pap could get to her if I could.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Suri reminds me of the Gloria Vanderbilt story, the poor little rich girl that gets pulled from all sides over money, power and control. Gloria at least made it through and gave us the amazing Silver Fox Anderson Cooper. Thank's Glo.

    And no way, no how will Tom turn his back on Suri. Tom doesn't lose, he didn't lose his first 2 kids he won't lose Suri in the long run either. He will stick around to be a thorn in Katie side until he can mind meld Suri into Scientology.

    Or I still hold out hope Tom will have a breakthrough one day like others have and turn his back on this f'n cult and be free of it. Then Tom & Katie can raise her as a happpy well adjusted child.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hug it out people (thx Frufra!) I hope she gets some quiet time and we can go on to gossip about tragic grown ups.

    In other news, @Vicki.... Will you write about us all when u join SNL? I would like to be played by The Zooey bc I have giant brown eyes and am super quirky. Can't sing worth a damn but I sure try hard in the shower!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Re Suri ,
    I never comment on her because she is a child.But I have wondered , what is it like to be Suri?

    I'm thinking as a 5-6 year old. You walk out the door and the paps are at eye level taking your pix?

    I'd like to see her carrying a water gun and an Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D. and every time the paps got in her face she can shoot and duck.

    I don't blame them one bit for carrying her and for her wanting her gung gung with her at all times.

  68. PS - I like the vote idea with the PM peeps. Contest!!!!

    I thought that it was you that brought up the gender issue but could not remember. It was a good point!

    ReplyDelete
  71. cathy, again, not diagnosing, just saying what it seems like. I dont say it in a happy way. I feel sorry for the kid. But she has had paps in her face all her life, shldbe used to them somewhat. And I highly doubt anyone will read this, say shes autistic based on what i said!!!! I hope she is completely normal and happy in every way. But she is being used btwn parents, even if they arent aware of it.
    Sometimes tho, one must address the elephant in the room.

  72. What about Xenuphobe?

  79. @Henriette - Xenu is the galactic overlord who purged alien souls to Earth. Those lost souls inhabited our bodies. They cause us to do bad things and give us bad thoughts. The whole purpose of scientology is to rid the body of these alien souls and become "clear".

    I highly recommend the South Park episode "trapped in the closet" for a humorous, yet accurate, description of this.

  90. Not even Kneepads could get people to believe that Tom is the victim. I mean, even outside of gossip sites, it's pretty common speculation that he and his cult are nuts and their relationship was a contractual one.

  103. Sorry I expressed my opinion.

    Is this what you want to hear-

    Kids should be on medication, preferably decided on by people that have never met them. Divorce is a public spectacle, open to judgment and criticism from the public (especially 6 yr old girls).

    Sorry, that is ridiculous.

    Please, feel free to criticize me (another person you know nothing about). I am happy to take the emphasis off a family during trying times.

    @opie - I post on a variety of issues. Please look around before you make disparaging comments.

    "The devastated star turns to his inner circle-- and Scientology"

    Isn't that one and the same?

    @ luckylass - that video was fucking hilarious which leads me to my next point - the jokes and mockery are everywhere. Tommy Girl and the Co$ cult must be shitting their pants. The suggestions that he is gay, that he signs wives to contracts, that he is a bully-- it's all out there. Unless they are keeping all this from him, he must be freaking out. THAT is where his devastation is coming from. He's not shattered because his wife and kid left him. His world is shattered because he's been outed as a bully and a carefully crafted FAKE who's a major player in a soul destroying cult.

    Hand me some more popcorn. I hope this doesn't end anytime soon.

    On a side note, I hate to think how much hate mail you get enty. Do they go through your rubbish?

  115. RonTom?

    Or RonTomTom to evoke RinTinTin: he's following the master like an obedient puppy.

  116. @ Agent**It - I was joking about XenuProbe. Just thought is was funny after XenuPhobe.

    I just want something easy to type.

  117. "MiscAvenger cause he's Miscavige's mouth piece."

    I wonder if that's still true. According to COS insiders, Miscavige is a rabidly abusive and arrogant little elf, but seems to be fairly smart and cunning about how he runs what he clearly knows is a cult. Between the couch jumping and his fading stardom, Tom has become as much a liability as an asset to COS, and Miscavige doesn't seem to buddy-buddy around with Tom as much as he used to do.

  121. As predicted the poor, sad, lonely, blindsided Tom stories are coming out.

  122. I could never get into studying COS. I can't even study the insanity of it. L.Ron Hubbard was just too horrid of a writer for me. If you are going to do a cult around a writer, make it a good one! I can see a cult around F. Scott Fitzgerald or T.S. Eliot, but a Hubbard? Please! Heck, why not Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley?

  123. @ agentIt : I still like The Sauce ( fingersnap $

  124. Henriette, UGH!! I HATED Frankenstein in high school. A Lovecraftian cult would make more sense than L. Ron "Pederast" Hubbard.

    Praise Cthulhu!

  125. GMD (gay midget dwarf) is still my fave!!

  126. So let's see: Cruise's people have so far planted that hilarious "exclusive" about how Katie was appalled by his orgies with women (HEH) and now People is yammering on about his "shattered world." Do they actually expect people to swallow this crap? And isn't it too little too late?

    Next up (probably next week): "Tom Finds LOVE Again!" "Tom's Broken Heart Healed By New Love!" "Tom's SEXAY New Love Is Now Sporting A Baby Bump! From His Sperm! Because He's TOTALLY Heterosexual!"

  127. I agree with Gabi, mostly because it's been used for so long across multiple sites so (almost) everyone knows what it means.

    Not that the other suggestions aren't hilarious :)

  132. I like McGlib (McG) the best, because it rolls off the tongue easily. The only problem is that isn't there a producer by the name of McG?

    I know some people giggled at Church Lady, but I think the whole point of renaming him was so posters didn't refer to him as Tammy Girl. It rubbed some people the wrong way (like either being a girl was bad, or that it comes across as homophobic) . Just my 2 sheckles :)
    And Agent - I'm still dying at the timing of my first response to Vicki, that wound up posting right after yours. I almost peed myself with the gaffe!

  135. This pic of Tom looks just like Suri. I never thought that until this picture.

  136. Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking there was an entertainment source called Kneepads. I honestly thought it was some website that Jack Osbourne gave an interview to when he announced his MS diagnosis.

  137. This very compelling German film, "Until Nothing Remains" (2010), about one family's experience with Co$ may interest those here.
