Nicole Kidman: Desperate to Rescue Her Kids From Tom Cruise and His Scientologist Goons?

Somehow, Tom Cruise still lands roles in big-budget Hollywood movies. It’s surprising because we live in a time in which celebrities get “canceled” over poorly-phrased jokes, and yet Cruise still has a career despite multiple decades as the poster boy for a global cult that’s been accused of human trafficking and using slave labor. We suppose in a profoundly warped way, Cruise’s commitment to Scientology is admirable. After all, the religion has cost him just about everything except his career, and yet he still clings to it. Cruise reportedly hasn’t seen his daughter Suri in over four years as a result of his ties to the Church. Insiders say Tom is been convinced that Suri isn’t really his daughter — but not in the literal sense. He’s well aware that he’s the girl’s biological father, but he’s reportedly been convinced by top Scientology brass that as a “suppressive person” she’s not his child in the spiritual sense. It’s a sad situation for Suri, but at least she’s not trapped in the CoS or caught in the middle of a bitter legal battle between her parents. The same can’t be said of Isabella and Connor Cruise, Tom’s children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman, Though they’re both adults at this point — Isabella is 26, Connor 24 — Kidman is reportedly deeply concerned about her children’s future. And she feels their only chance at a normal is getting as far away from Tom and the Scientology leadership as possible. Isabella is currently being groomed to assume her father’s role as the face of the Church. But the passing of the torch comes at an awkward time. David Miscavige and other top brass within the faith are currently being bombarded with a slew of lawsuits. (Former Scientologists and their families timed the suits in order to deplete the Church’s legal resources.) Nicole reportedly sees this as her window of opportunity, and she’s hoping to intercede on her kids’ behalf before it’s too late. Rumors that Isabella is pregnant with her first child have led Kidman to the conclusion that there’s no time to waste, and it seems her plan is to create enough legal headaches for CoS leaders that they’ll want to distance themselves from the Cruise kids. “Things are getting hot for Scientology with court cases that threaten to blow the organization wide open,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “And if that happens, she wants Connor and Isabella — and this potential grandchild — to be out of harm’s way.” “Those kids have grown up without choices,” former Scientologist Sam Domingo tells Radar. “They’re being used as leverage for the church and it’s not right.” Domingo, who grew up in the Church and broke free as an adult, says Tom and Nicole’s kids were groomed for leadership roles from early childhood. “Tom Cruise’s kids have grown up in an alien world. It’s completely different,” she tells Radar. “Connor used to be sequestered in the President’s Office, which is the office that deals with the Celebrity Centre. “The kids weren’t in general population like the rest of the kids. You never saw them.” Sam’s use of prison terminology like “general population” is probably not coincidental. It sounds like the stakes couldn’t be any higher — a fact that we’re sure Nicole is well aware of. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini

Sister Wives Tell All: Kody and Meri Tease Their "New Beginning"

According to previous reports, Meri Brown is sick and tired of being a Sister Wife. According to Meri Brown herself, however, she has either taken some medicine or found time for a few naps or these previous reports were false… … because she says everything between herself and Kody Brown is all peaches and cream these days. Kind of. Sort of. To some extent, at least. On Sunday’s Sister Wives: Tell-All special, Kody and his quartet of wives looked back on the relationship issues that prompted Meri to seek out a relationship with a woman online masquerading as a man a couple years ago. You remember that catfish scandal , right? It was humiliating for everyone involved. But Kody said on TLC yesterday that the discovery of this awkward dalliance led to where the pair are today — and that is actually a very positive place. “What we’ve had to do is discover our new baseline,” Kody explained to the host, elaborating as follows: “Every marriage has a baseline, and it gently changes through the years for most people. “Well, Meri and I had an abrupt change. Different culture, Different religious values, we might have just [gotten a divorce], but we’re fortunate enough to be blessed to be a part of a family that is its own culture. “So we continue to move forward working on that, steadily moving in a direction where we’re just fully mended.” Just last month, Meri took off on a cruise without Kody, posing with a number of handsome men and certainly acting like a single person who was pretty darn psyched to head out and mingle. She’s been pretty open in the past about her frustrations with the ongoing arrangement. But Brown sounded a somewhat different tune on this Sister Wives special. She said she “looks forward” to healing their rift, sounding a little less optimistic than her controversial husband and adding: “I don’t feel like we had an abrupt change, I really don’t. I feel like the realization of it was probably abrupt, but I think that it was like moving in not a positive direction for a really long time prior to the realization.” Kody agreed. He said that he and Meri had been on an unhealthy path for a long time, but sounded excited about what he billed as a “new beginning” for the couple, stating of that catfishing scheme and all other issues: “The past is gone.” Is it, though? Or, as William Shakespeare once wrote in The Tempest, is the past prologue? “You have to figure out a way almost to just cut it off and just be dead,” Meri said of her beliefs about her marriage before the scandal. “I honestly have had to mourn what is gone.” Sounds like Meri is resigned to her romantic fate far more than she’s fully invested in it and into it, don’t you agree? “Meri’s very into nostalgia,” Kody chimed in at this point. “I’m just looking into the future.” “And I’m looking at a future as well,” Meri said in response. “I am, and I have a lot of hope for what could be.” Watch Sister Wives Season 13 Episode 10 Online As for their status at the moment? “We are dating,” Kody said, concluding: “We literally got to a place, it just got nasty. And like no, we’re not gonna do that anymore … “I am cutting off everything that was the past. It’s a new date, it’s a new girlfriend, it’s a new person, but we have a history and we also know each other.” Sounds… promising? We guess? Stay tuned, Sister Wives fans.

Tom Cruise Avoids Daughter Suri Because He’s Still In Love With Katie Holmes [Report]

It’s been seven years since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got divorced . It may be hard to recollect at this point, but there was a time when TomKat captured the public’s imagination as effectively as Brangelina — and their split came as just as big of a shock. But in the seven years since the marriage ended, the dust has settled in a big way. Holmes has mostly settled into a life of quiet domesticity, and while she continues to work steadily as an actress, her life is no longer the stuff of tabloid fodder. Cruise, of course, has taken a very different path, and the actor remains a subject of public fascination. Of course, these days most of that interest has little to do with his three collapsed marriages. Instead, the focus is on the actor’s devotion to Scientology and the reports that Cruise has not seen his daughter Suri since 2013. At first, it looked as though those two facets of Cruise’s life were closely related. The narrative went that Suri had been labeled a “suppressive person” due to her mother’s decision to lead her away from the Church of Scientology. Now, however, a new story has emerged, with insiders claiming that Tom’s split from Katie was so devastating that he has yet to move on all these years later. “Since his heartbreaking, very public split with Katie, Tom has been hesitant to live out loud or fall in love again and sometimes he feels like it will be OK if he never marries again,” a source close to the situation tells Hollywood Life . So is Tom so deeply in love with Katie that he can’t bring himself to spend time with their 12-year-old daughter? Well, not necessarily, the insider says.  Apparently, Cruise is actively seeking out Ms. Right, but the search has stalled due to the actor’s fear of making the same mistakes he made with Katie. “Tom does casually date women, but never in public. He is always very private and he does not have a steady girlfriend,” the informant adds. “Tom prefers to romance women who share similar spiritual interests, which narrows his field when choosing a romantic partner.”  In other words, he’s looking for a stalwart Scientologist. One would think that would be easy to find, given that Hollywood is crawling with Hubbard acolytes, and Tom is basically their savior. But apparently, Cruise is having no luck, and he’s sworn not to repeat the mistake of rushing into an uncertain relationship. “While Tom enjoys falling in love, he also is happy being by himself and has accepted that, after three failed marriages, he may never get married again,” the source says. “He values his privacy and his religion comes before relationships or anything else, which is fine by him.” We guess that those are his priorities — because it looks as though his religion has cost him his family.

Tom Cruise FINALLY Responds to Those Butt Rumors!

Tom Cruise: he’s Scientology’s golden boy mascot, he’s an acting legend, he’s a practitioner of couch parkour, and he’s at least 50% of why this year’s The Mummy film was so bad . But … does he wear a fake butt? A photo that’s circulated all over social media suggests that, at least once, he did. You can see it for yourself below, and we might finally have an answer. As a general rule, we don’t spend a great deal of time contemplating Tom Cruise’s butt. Not it’s appearance and not its authenticity. It’s not that we have anything against his butt, even though it’s part of the flesh prison of a man Leah Remini calls “diabolical.” But, thankfully, someone on the internet spends enough time thinking about butts that they noticed one particular image and brought it to light. Twitter user @iluvbutts247, an account that the world never knew that it needed but suddenly cannot live without, tweeted out this message: “Hello, please, i present the theory that for one single shot in Valkyrie (2008), at 5:12, tom cruise wears a fake butt. observe:” Attached was this screencap from the film: Now, this photo has been circulating for over a month, now, since this tweet was first shared. It doesn’t look quite real, does it? It doesn’t look unnatural, exactly — just too perfect. And since this is really the first we’ve heard of it, we guess that it’s something that you’d never notice if a butt-centric blog hadn’t been, we’re guessing, going through the scene frame-by-frame for the perfect ass shot. Remember — shows and films in 2008 weren’t designed for modern gif culture, where every scene is likely to get picked apart by a sizable army of fans. Of all of the potential secrets that we imagined might come to light about Tom Cruise, we’d never imagined that “he wears a fake butt” would be among them. But … maybe it’s not as fake as it looks. On Tuesday, Tom Cruise responded to the theory that he wears a fake butt in an interview with Screen Rant . “I have no idea. There was no prosthetic in Valkyrie. No.” He also shares that this is somehow the first that he’s heard of the rumor. Which … really goes to show you that Tom Cruise might as well be Amish in terms of how out-of-touch he is with actual society and in terms of how little benefit he gets from social media. He lives in this planet but it’s like he’s inhabiting another world, you know? Tom Cruise has mooned characters in past films, but he assures the world that he used his actual butt at the time, too. “It’s me. It’s not CGI, it’s me. I do my own mooning in films. So let it be known — I do my own mooning.” For a variety of reasons, you might be thinking that Tom Cruise is not exactly the most reliable guy to confirm or deny a rumor about Tom Cruise. Wes Okerson, the dude who trained Tom Cruise for Valkyrie , stepped up to confirm Tom Cruise’s side of the story in an interview with Men’s Health . “It’s real. He was working long hours and we were training every single day. Definitely, definitely real. He does his own stunts. It’s pretty well-documented.” You might point out that Wes Okerson has a vested interest in not ratting out on his clients. No studio wants to hire a trainer who’s going to be like “oh sure she worked out but those abs were digitally enhanced or a body double.” But we’re not accusing Wes Okerson or even Tom Cruise of lying. Maybe Tom Cruise, or the Tom Cruise of a decade ago, really did have such an extraordinary tush that, at a certain angle, it looks like it can’t possibly be real. That doesn’t change anything about him. Not really. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini

Kylie Jenner: I’m Tired of Being a Weirdo!

As we've been learning on Kylie Jenner's new show, Life of Kylie, it's not easy being a super hot, super famous 20-year-old woman who also happens to be a literal millionaire. It's actually really, really hard — not that you'd understand. Because, see, even though Kylie doesn't have to worry about money, probably for the rest of her whole entire life, and even though she owns multiple mansions and has none of the worries that the vast, vast majority of the world's population deal with on a daily basis … Sorry, where were we? Let's try again. Even though Kylie is privileged beyond most people's wildest dreams, she still has problems. For instance, she has to deal with people talking about her selfies and her relationships, and she's, like, the biggest outcast . She didn't even get to go to prom , guys. This girl's had a tough life, and that's undeniable. And now, thanks to this sneak peek for the new episode of Life of Kylie, we're learning about yet another struggle she's facing … The struggle of what kind of hairstyle she wants her stylists to give her. “Honestly, like, guys, I don't want to disappoint anybody, but I just want my hair long and black and pretty,” she whines to her team. Since she knows this is going to be such a blow to these people, she tries to compromise, telling them that she can try on wigs on Fridays for photos. “I don't want to be a weirdo,” she laments. “I don't want to pull up with purple hair. I'm over it.” Then, in a voiceover, Kylie explains that she's always tried “to be different” and to “do new things.” As we all know, she was the first person ever to dye her hair unnatural colors — as she says, “not everyone was dyeing their hair blue or green” when she started the trend . Then, back with her stylists, she complains that “I'm over keeping up with this lifestyle of crazy hair and wigs and sh-t!” Poor, poor Kylie. Her makeup artist suggests that she makes a move to a more natural look, and she agrees, and even adds “With my tits out!' Whose idea was it to give Kylie her own show? Because all she's doing so far is boring viewers to death and making herself look bad. Watch Kylie's latest pity party in the video below:

Leah Remini: Tom Cruise is "Diabolical," Truly Evil

Leah Remini rose to fame as a no-nonsense, straight talking character on the terrible CBS sitcom King of Queens. And, based on her latest comments about Tom Cruise, it doesn’t sound as though this woman was a stretch for Remini to portray. The actress, who will reunite with Kevin James this fall as a series regular on Kevin Can Wait, sat down this week for a Reddit AMA. Asked at one point whether Cruise is a good person, Remini did not hold any opinion back. “No! Just going to get straight to it, no!” she replied, expounding as follows: “There is a public persona of the guy who looks at you directly in the eye and shakes your hand and hugs you and is an attentive person to you and there’s the person behind the mask who is a completely different person.” In what way, exactly? Remini tried to explain. “Someone could say we all have that – what we are to the public and who we are behind the scenes,” she said. “But the people who are around Tom and work for Tom, not even people who are Scientologists, they will say he is diaboloical [sic].” Remini, of course, has become as famous at this point for her connection to the Church of Scientology as she is for her career. An ex member of that religious organization (for which Cruise is essentially a spokesman), Remini has broken free from the alleged cult and spoken out against it. Frequently and passionately. She said late last year, for example, that Scientology is full of rape and forced abortions . The star made these stunning accusations as part of the A&E series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. In this AMA, Remini noted that some folks she has worked with in the past might say she “can be an asshole,” yet claimed it’s a different story for Cruise who is one of the most high-profile members of the Church of Scientology. Probably the most high profile. “He’s very similar to David Miscavige, they could be twins,” she wrote, referencing the organization’s leader. A new season of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath is on the way, one in which the host will once again delve into the dangers of her former religion. She’s talked previously about the child abuse and sexual harassment that takes place within in. “Tom and most Scientologists, all Scientologists, are taught to believe that people like me are literally the devil, that we mean them harm,” she told Larry King in December 2016 prior to claiming that the church is “defrauding people out of their lives.” In regard to her assessment of Cruise, the Church of Scientology said via statement to Us Weekly: “Leah Remini has been obsessed with the leader of the Scientology religion and with Mr. Cruise for years, ever since she made a scene at Mr. Cruise’s wedding when she couldn’t get the seat she wanted. “Remini is only commenting on these two prominent individuals to generate media coverage for herself and her hate campaign. “Remini is bent on inciting hate and bigotry against a worldwide religion and its parishioners and she will stop at nothing to grab attention.”

Tom Cruise Hasn’t Seen Suri in 1,346 Days, Source Claims

There was a time when the name Tom Cruise conjured images of a megawatt smile and a stack of phone books to make him appear less Hobbit-like in stature. These days, of course, when we think of Cruise, we’re more likely to imagine the Sea Org members chained up in his basement or the ultra-luxurious spaceship that they’re scrambling to finish building in time for the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, at this point, Cruise is less “bankable movie star” and more of “prophet of the Spacelord Xenu.” His role as the face of Scientology takes up a lot of his time, and we’re sure it’s demanding work. Take one hard look at the husk of a man that is Sean Spicer, and you can see the toll that’s exacted by constantly trying to sell total BS to an increasingly skeptical population. But hey, Cruise can do what Cruise wants to do with his time. If he wants to spend his days having his thetans read and avoiding Suppressive Persons, that’s his deal. Unfortunately, it seems one of the SP’s that Tom’s been dodging is none other than his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise. As you’re probably aware, Tom’s divorce from Katie Holmes was a profoundly ugly one, as the actress sought not only to escape her marriage, but also the Scientology community, which tends to hold its adherents’ lives in a Mafia-like vise grip. She succeeded, but only because Cruise agreed to an arrangement in which he and Holmes would completely cut ties. Unfortunately, it seems that also means Cruise has cut ties with Suri . Last year, In Touch reported that Tom hadn’t seen Suri in 1,000 days . Now, the tabloid is reporting that that number has reached 1,346 days and counting . Cruise is currently traveling the globe to promote The Mummy, and his promotional tour recently brought him to within just 23 miles of Suri, who was in Calabasas when Tom was in LA. Sadly, the actor reportedly made no effort to see his daughter, instead hopping a plane to Australia to continue promoting the film. “Tom could have easily made the trip to see Suri. It only takes about 30 minutes without traffic. It would’ve only added a few hours to his busy schedule,” a source tells the magazine. The same insider notes that Tom has not been photographer with Suri since September of 2013. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini

19 Celebrity Nose Jobs You Must See to Believe

Noses are such little things, really, but tiny nips and tucks can make huge differences! For some, a nose job can be a door opener. For others, a nose job can be a total mess – even a career ender. Sometimes, it's obvious which is which. Other times, it's a thin line, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say, right? In any case, here are 19 celebrity nose jobs you won't believe! 1. Michael Jackson Michael Jackson’s nose job is the most dramatic on the list. He might have blamed his skin lightening on a genetic condition, but there’s no denying his nose came from a knife. 2. Ashlee Simpson Ashlee Simpson’s nose job was quite dramatic! It changed the entire look of her face! Wonder how her nose job affected her voice? 3. Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Aniston had a nose job to shed her father’s schnoz. It happened early enough in her career that her new nose is the only nose we know. 4. Blake Lively Blake Lively has never confirmed or denied that she went over the knife, but let’s just say Gossip Girl would’ve had a field day on her blog with before-and-after photos like this. 5. Tom Cruise Tom Cruise had a nose job early on in his career. Oddly enough he waited until he was in his 40s for braces. Rumor has it Katie Holmes also had a nose job so maybe that’s what Suri will get for her Sweet Sixteen. 6. Heidi Montag Heidi Montag is another reality star who can’t hide her love of plastic surgery. Montag once underwent 10 procedures in one day, ruining everything people liked about her.

18 Most Bitter Breakups in Hollywood History

Some breakups are pretty amicable and the two parties remain friends. Then there's the ones that just don't go down well and both parties throw jabs at one another on social media.  It can get pretty tiring.  We've compiled a list of some of the most bitter celebrity breakups in Hollywood history below: 1. Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris Their breakup was a shocker and it obviously hurt Calvin just how quickly she moved on from him with Tom Hiddleston. 2. Johnny Depp & Amber Heard This relationship came to a conclusion when Johnny allegedly struck Amber with a cell phone. 3. Kailyn Lory & Javi Marroquin There were constant arguments between this couple on Teen Mom 2, but Javi being deployed seemed to be the final straw. 4. Madonna & Sean Penn You know your relationship isn’t going well when there’s a nickname for it. The Poison Penns was a hilarious one. 5. Matt Damon & Minnie Driver Remember Matt Damon announced in an interview that he was single and he failed to let Minnie Driver know? Talk about awkward. 6.

15 Celebrities Who Have Been Married At Least Three Times

Ah, love.  That moment when you find your lobster and you mate for life is swell. Some, however, find more than one lobster (or perhaps they mistake it for something else?).  Lobster-locating leads to an engagement, followed by marriage. Before you know it, you're on spouse number three. I repeat: Ah, love. 1. Jennifer Lopez Lopez was first married to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998. In 2001, she married dancer Criss Judd, but that ended in 2003. She then married Marc Anthony in a low-key ceremony in 2004, but the couple split ten years later. 2. Shannen Doherty Doherty’s first marriage to Ashley Hamilton only lasted one year (1993-1994), as did her second to Rick Salomon (2002-2003.

Clark during her ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ years, from 1994-1996. 5. Tom Cruise Tom Cruise famously wed Katie Holmes in 2006, after what many considered an odd, whirlwind relationship. They split in 2012. Prior to this Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman from 1990-2001, and before that, to Mimi Rogers from 1987-1990. 6. Halle Berry Berry hasn’t had an easy go of it romantically.
