Suri Cruise is an American Girl

Suri Cruise is an American Girl

Katie Holmes takes her daughter Suri, 2, for a quick shopping trip at The Grove’s American Girl store in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

Katie was also accompanied by her mother, Kathleen, who helped carry her daughter’s purse and Suri’s milk bottle.

It was a great mother-daughter day for Tom Cruise’s leading ladies!

Katie just wrapped up filming her cameo for ABC’s hit drama, Eli Stone, with series regular Jonny Lee Miller.

I’ve been there before. It;s so creepy they have a huge american girl hair salon and they even have a restaurant in there! talk about obsessed much?

# 3

at least suri is wearing shoes this time.

and it’s about time they cut suri’s hair too. the poor thing had half her face covered there for a while. at least she can see properly now.

stupid parents.

# 4

excuse me? Suri still has a bottle?!
wow, she is almost two and a half…that’s kind of long, Katie

Cute!

Popular dress for the little wee ones. Violet Affleck, Tobey Mcq. daughter and Suri all have been sporting this stripped dress.

Hope they had a great Mother/Daughter day.

Not to be a nag. But ever heard of a sippy-cup Katie? Jesus.

Suri is so cute. she’s gonna be pretty when she gets older.

What’s this you say?

Katie Holmes is no longer in contact with her family? Katie Holmes never lets her daughter walk (which is a stupid complaint)? Katie Holmes is always with Tom Cruise or some handler?

Idiots.

Suri’s cute. Katie looks good…but definitely older than 29.

I imagine Suri probably SHOULD be off a bottle now, except maybe at nighttime. And potty trained…soon? Oh well. She’s not our kid.

Good to see them having fun together.

The bottle is weird. I think that’s a scientology thing…ever hear Leah Remini talk about how her daughter, who is FOUR, is still on the bottle and drinks eight a night? as though she were four months old? so strange.

Suri is very pretty but she seems very clingy for a child almost two and a half. And I’ve never seen a picture of her smiling. There is something off about that child.

suri still has a bottle?? crime of crimes!!! the child is not using a sippy cup-three lashes on the hand for katie. guess what people; this is not your child. she’s katie and tom’s. they are the only two people whose opinion counts on this issue. these two have decided, for reasons they don’t have to share, to allow their daughter to continue to use a bottle; deal with it.

I think they’ll take her off the bottle when they feel like it so quit nagging. Don’t tell these people how to raise their kids. It’s none of your business.

Does anyone else agree that she resembles Matilda Ledger alot?

this girl is going to grow up to be the worlds most spoiled bratty child.

WHATACUTIE! I <3 her bangs.

I agree with other posters…she’s already 2 and still drinking out of a bottle and still is wearing diapers!! That’s already the age to be weaning her off of it but some parents are so lazy and uh…..poor baby!

Suex Nomi @ 07/20/2008 at 1:03 am

God have mercy. Looks worse than ever.

Suex Nomi @ 07/20/2008 at 1:04 am

Cassie and American;

how much is tom paying you to troll on this and other places spewing out your inane garbage?

I guess Katie’s never heard of a sippy cup before or potty training. She’ll be in diapers until she’s 9 yrs old !

Megan fox rocks @ 07/20/2008 at 1:13 am

Katie i love u but Please smile

You idiots really got stop thinking that only Scientologists and publicists would ever say anything nice about TomKat

Kylegotgame @ 07/20/2008 at 1:37 am

Suri looks very cute in these pictures. I want her her to grow out already. Both of their hairs. I’m really anticipating Katie on Eli Stone. I remember hearing her sing on Dawson’s Creek and she had a sweet voice, kind of like Britney Spears.

Super cute. Sounds like a lovely day! :)

For all the arrogant twits (or one twit who keeps posting over and over) that claims it’s tom and katie who should decide when to take the baby off the bottle, nobody said otherwise……except the American Dental Association and every pediatrician in the known world!

You guys ought to get INFORMED instead of barking on a gossip site about common knowledge. Children need to be off the bottle by the age of 12 mos. 18 mos at the latest. Leaving them on the bottle causes damage to their teeth and eventually a problem with their bite. Not only is suri on a bottle, she is using a popular infant nurser that is even harder to suck on and will damage her smile even further. Holmes and Cruise are either morons or incapable of parenting their child effectively.

You clowns going on about this obviously have never had children and are as IGNORANT as Katie and Tom. Get a freakin grip, pull your heads out of your behinds and stop yammering on.

Also, something is definitely up with that baby. I have a feeling she’s autistic or has some sort of developmental disablility. Since Cruise and Holmes also belong to a cult that doesn’t believe in treatment for either of those issues, that poor, darling little girl will never get proper treatment.

People complained about Brittany’s parenting skills…..these two out to have Child and Family Services called on them!

As the Mother of an Autistic child, I agree that Suri has many of the characteristics of a child with Autism. She doesn’t smile, look engaged…etc.

If Suri is indeed Autistic and The Cruise’s are not seeking treatment due to their religion, they should be shot at dawn.

Also, the above poster is correct. Suri needs to be off the bottle before irreparable damage is done to her teeth and mouth. She should be potty training as well. For those that say we should mind our business, learn to deal with the fact that real Mothers speak to the pediatric dentists and make informed decisions for their child’s benefit. Katie is obviously not an informed parent or simply does not have the skill or the dedication necessary to parent responsibly.

I think they’ll take her off the bottle when they feel like it so quit nagging. Don’t tell these people how to raise their kids. It’s none of your business.

——————————

sorry American. I didnt get the memo that only biotch’s like you have the right to comment here. You’re obviously an idiot who knows nothing about kids. Somebody should have told your Mother how to raise you. then maybe you wouldn’t be such an ignorant snot.

Suri is a cutie but looks miserable, katie looks DEAD and 10 years older than she is and everyone on the outing including the 4 minders with them look depressed. Who the hell needs 4 bodyguards to go to a store?!?!?!?! I guess CrazyCruise is afraid Katie might make a run for it. If she had a brain left in her head, she would get herself and her kid away from that madman.

Get that baby off the bottle Katie! While your at it, get away from that ******* you married too! You look like ****!

to Suex Nomi:
what’s the matter? have i touched a nerve there. you upset that not everyone agrees with your exhalted opinion. i mean, god forbid someone should actually disagree with you. i don’t know if you can grasp this concept; but this is a public forum and there are going to be many different opinions given out. unfortunately, sweet heart, not all people will say what you want them to say.that is the nature of the beast. if you can’t handle the idea that other people have different views on the subject then mabye you shouldn’t participate. .

you do understand the concept of the first amendment; don’t you? it’s not all that complicated. if you don’t i can explain it to you in very simple language that even my 10 year old nephew could understand.
as for tom paying me; now that’s a very novel idea. why didn’t i think of that before???

@ #29,

Where do oyu come off saying that Suri is autistic? Who made you Doctor? Having an autistic child doesn’t make you know it all.

Suri is very happy and friendly. She is always smiling and even sends kisses to the Paps.

You are a sick person, worry about your autistic kid and leave Tom Cruise & his kids alone.

Suri Cruise isn’t autistic. You’re just looking for signs and making things up.

Katie Holmes and anyone else that doesn’t choose to ween their kids as early you want it to be are responsible. It none of your business so quit playing the concerned parent card

It’s pretty silly to say that these two people should have child services called on them and are worse than Britney Spears when all you have is:

-Not weening her off the bottle
-Diagnosing their daughter for autism via photographs and without an MD or PHd
-Sometimes not seen wearing shoes
-Not cutting her bangs

Aren’t exactly serious offenses don’t you think?

,Big fan. I have invited over 50.000 fans to free inter-racial dating site ‘ blackwhitemate.com’ where you can try inter-racial kiss with sexy girls or see more…

Pooky, you’re a idiot. For all you know, I am a Doctor. Obviously, I know quite a bit more about Autism than you would since I live with it on a daily basis. That baby hasn’t smiled or thrown kisses in quite awhile. If you even the slightest knowledge about Autism, you’d know that onset is often quick and around the age Suri is now. Prior to onset, children often appear normal. Before you open your large, uninformed, ignorant mouth, I suggest you learn something. Suri may not be Autistic, but you have no way of knowing my dear, so get a life of your own and stop living through Katie and her baby.

American, when it comes to the health of your child, all offenses are MAJOR. If you can’t be a good parent, and Katie is obviously not a capable parent or she would know the medical facts on weening a child from the bottle, toilet training, etc., you might as well cash it in since you have no value as a person.

Katie is a robot who joined a cult to please a guy she had a crush on in high school. Not exactly the mark of an intelligent, capable parent in my book.

Oh, and if you don’t like my opinion, or anyone else’s, deal with it sweetheart!

good for you #37. i think all these fans are one person who keeps posting over and over. they all say the same thing the same way. they should learn to fake their identity better. F&%king Morons!

I’m also the parent of an autistic child and I agree that Suri may be Autistic. Theres an obvious disconnection there and I see typical stimming behavior in her as well. I no longer see the happy, spunky little girl from a few months ago. If she is Autistic, that would explain their difficulty getting the baby off the bottle. Its very difficult to ween an Autistic child. Toilet training is no walk in the park either.

http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer

I don’t think Suri’s autistic (Katie’s another story). I don’t blame her for being withdrawn. Look where she’s dragged along to: shopping, stores, more shopping. Poor kid needs to go to parks, aquariums, children’s museums, playgyms for tots, etc. like Jenn Garner does with her daughter Violet.

Even if they have another baby, I think I would still look at that Suri.

Loved this post.

cute mom and baby

So digging the shoes of Katie. Suri’s is so cute as well.

Katie should not have retired from Batman. She is superior than Maggie in the acting and hotness dept.

Suex Nomi @ 07/20/2008 at 4:08 am

Whoa, Cassie! Way to go Delphi on me!
Oh, so you think you touched a nerve on me? Uh, try looking in the mirror; what I said whacked YOU out!
Your auditor did a good job on teaching you how to go nutso.

Awwwww..grandma Kathleen must be so proud.

My favorite all American girls and they are the ultimate All American family representing Hollywood. A rare one that is.

Suri is precious as always and Katie looks like Jackie Kennedy.

i think that picture posted is adorable. suri always looks adorable and doesn’t violet also have the same dress? katie looks tired as usual.

The reason they aren’t smiling in this picture is because at least 20 people were yelling at them on the street. How do you think that child feels with complete strangers yelling SURI SURI SURI SURI SURI trying to get her to look at their cell phones. Look in the one picture how close that woman is.

Suri’s not lively like a child of her age. It seems that they want to make her such as princess life that they missed her own hapiness as a child.
Celine Dion’s boy was and is still acting the same.
Suri is pretty cute of course.
I agree about the bottle.
For the diapers, it’s another thing.
Suri’s shoes are not right for her feet.
Wow, what a progress! Suri is able to walk.

I still think that only Violet is living a two years old normal life. Of course, the Affleck family is not attracting as the Cruise family because of this.

Katies mom is not her servant!!
Gee, why can´t she leave her daughter alone? Put her on the floor, stop using her as a crutch!

Finally, her bang has been trimmed !

She’s so adorable! I bet Holmes is pissed for turning down The Dark Knight (I heard she was fired, too).

what’s up with those metallic shoes ? Suri’s ones looks not ok, but Katie’s look straight up ..ewwww

Yoyo usachild @ 07/20/2008 at 8:46 am

Is that Katie’s Scientology handler, the woman in the shirt with the green and white striped sleeves, Katie’s handler had dark hair like her, kinda hard to make out though. But maybe Katies had her reactive mind removed already so therefore she’s no longer capable of independant thought.

I don’t believe one second that Suri is autistic.

I think she is overwhelmingly spoiled and has the syndroms of the spoiled unique brat. The one that parents tend to infantilized the longest possible like she was stuck in a phase of an infant eventhough she is already a toddler.

It’s time for her to have a sibling so that her parents realize that she is not a baby anymore and that they should accompany, assist with determination her development and maturity.

It’s kind of a discipline that parents should have and instill to their child since day one.

I’M SURE SURY HAS PROBLEM “KH” IS A BAD MOTHER, I’M NOT PLAYING AS A DOCTOR, BUT SINCE I SAW HER PICTURE WHEN SURY & TC PLAY IN THE PARK, SHE DID NOTHING NOT EVEN SMILE OR LAUGH - LIKE “VIOLET & JEN” WHEN THEY PLAY IN PARK & ‘VI’ PLAY CRADLE SHE ALWAYS LAUGH & HAVE INTERACTIVE TO OTHER PERSON, SO BIG DIFFERENT WITH “SURY”.
SURY EVERYTIME PUT HER FINGER TO THE MOUTH, & SHE LOOK SAD, & HER REACT AS AN AUTHIS KID. BUT WELL THIS IS NOT MY CHILD, SORRY.
POOR KATIE SHE CANN’T ACTING, SHE IS NOTHING WITHOUT “THAT RICH GUY”. EVEN IN HER BROADWAY DEBUT - I HEARD THE TICKET NOT SOLD ALL, MAY BE ONLY CRUISE & HOLMES FAMILY WOULD BUY.

KATIE YOU DON’T NEED TO DO CASTING LIKE THE OTHER ACTOR JUST BECAUSE YOUR MAN, OR MAYBE YOU DON’T NEED TO DO NOTHING JUST GO TO SHOPPING & SHOPPING, SPEND TC’S MONEY.

How old is Suri - 10 month????? Why has she a baby bottle with 2 years????? Don`t understand that.

honestly, katie looking manly ,palin and way olde than her age. Not good.She will never be a candiate for a beautiful woman. They finally starts wearing suri a kid cloth and they trim her hair so she can see, that is a good thing.

—————————————————————————————

now find me a picture of the last year where you find her smiling. These are old pictures.

Sure is absolutely adorable!

What the F is she doing wearing a diaper at 21/2 years old? This must be the LAZIEST MOTHER EVER.

She can’t take a few hours out of her f’d up life to get the kid off the bottle and diaper. I guess “special needs” kids aren’t worth it, huh, Mrs. Former “biggest” movie star in the world”?

Poster #28…Tom and Katie need to have Child and Family Services called on them just because Suri is still on the bottle and not potty-trained??!!!! YOU need your head examined!!!!!

Well well...... @ 07/20/2008 at 10:25 am

“Kate’s” mom is spending an awful lot of time in LA now. Evidence that she is terribly worried about her juvenile daughter. Too bad she can’t be at home spending time with her husband and other (real) grandchildren. katie is such a loser. She brings everyone down around her. Look at Suri. She is always expressionless. If I had to live with Tom and Katie I’d have mental issues too! Poor kid…either she’s autistic or the flash bulbs were too much too handles the first 2 years of her life.

Why does this kid always look like she’s got the weight off the world on her shoulders? Seriously. Something terrible has happened to her.

haha, people actually pretend to be doctors here. LMFAO!!!!!
hahahaha

Give me your address. i will send you a pretend and play doctor toy set.
seriously, if u r a real dr, go save some lives! yea help the people who actually come to u for help.

btw, y the hell suri needs to smile for the paparazzi?? so u wouldn’t call her autistic??

#28 I totally agree with you. I don’t know what has caused Suri’s problems. ONLY the people she calls Mom and Dad can answer that. I hope some sicko didn’t get a hold of her.

katie please visit http://www.okay2love.com you really need to break away from that freak tom cruise. i saw them the other day what ever happend to this cute guy? he really looks crazy.

***********************************************************************

You’re quite right about that. Angelina’s kids had to go to through the same thing. People used to say that there was something wrong with Z because she never smiled. No normal kid wants to smile when there is a wall of photographers screaming at you to smile for their cameras. It would turn any child off.

However — that is not what bothers me about Suri. It’s not that she doesn’t smile for the cameras, but that she seems disconnected to what’s happening around her. She seems emotionally walled off from people. I don’t know how else to put it. I don’t know if this is because of her being spoiled and pampered like a princess, but she doesn’t seem to be stimulated and encouraged to grow. It’s like she’s being treated like a little doll baby. She needs to be encouraged to run around and play and get dirty like other children. A younger sibling wouldn’t hurt either.

About her still being in Pampers and on the bottle: a lot of normal two year olds are still on the bottle and not potty trained yet. Give her another six months or so.

Katie looks like a 40 year old woman.Eww she is just soo ugly and Suri mapother is not that cute either

“Suri may not be Autistic, but you have no way of knowing my dear, so get a life of your own and stop living through Katie and her baby.”

Take your own advice, #37

#29 and the rest who feel she should be potty trained.

Most kids potty train between two and three. She still has time. And as some potty-training expert once said–(paraphrase) ‘it may take awhile, but have you ever seen a college student in diapers?’ It is far worse to force a child to potty train than to work at it gently. When you start to force the issue, it becomes a control issue. Which is not good for parents or child.

She should be off the bottle, but I believe I read somewhere that the Scientologists believe that it is a child’s choice to decide these things for themselves. So we’ll probably see her with a bottle in college.

All these things will happen in good time. She will be potty trained. She will be off the bottle. She will walk everywhere instead of being carried. Chill.

#28 and #29

Calling this child autistic is really uninformed and ignorant. How quickly you forget the pictures of her in Germany laughing and playing at the playground. And there are other examples out there of her “engaging.”
Give the child a break. She is not yet 3 and followed by cameras and paps. I don’t see Shiloh constantly engaging or Violet Affleck, or Kingston or any other of the two-three years olds that are out and about with the current pap favorites. Brad Pitt has said several times that his kids are bombarded with flash cameras, paps, and crowds when they go out. Is it any wonder the truly A-lister stars’ babies have the ‘deer-in-the-headlight’ look when they are out?
If by some odd chance Suri is autistic, then yes, the Scientology church won’t recognize it and will try and treat it with herbs, vitamins, special mixtures made by the church and exercise. Isn’t Travolta’s son suppose to be autistic or something? As far as we all know, he has not consulted a doctor or if he has not said a word about a diagnosis. Just follows the church preachings.

I don;t understand how anyone can try to diagnose a child based on still photos. Suri is reacting the way any 2 1/2 should when being followed by probably 5O paps (in their face) as well as all the spectators yelling at them. I would imagine that Suri is being carried when in public for the san=me reason. Once they were safely near the store they were entering, she was put down to walk.. I left my first child on the bottle until 2 y.o and there was never a problem when I decided to take it away. I will most likely do the same with my daughter. This doesnt seem to be as big a deal in the EU as in everything by the book America. I live near LA and I have seen the madness of the paps and I don’t know how anyone could walk around with that without being paranoid or nervous. My husbands family is all in Ireland and every time we visit my MIL says “relax and just let them be children. Everything will fall into place in their own time”. My former ped. thought my son was autistic because he never engaged the doctor and threw a toy at him. We spent a lot of money going to top neurologists and it turned out that he is a completely normal and very social child, he just didn’t like that doctor and didn’t know how to express it with words. Unless anyone posting here actually treats Suri medically then I really think there is no basis or need for these cruel and completely speculative comments. As for the diapers, from all of the peds I have seen over the years and info I have gathered potty training can most successful occur between the ages of 2-4, so I think she is fine there as well. For all we know they be be in the process of weaning bottle an p.t. at home and only resort to bottle and diapers when she is terrorized by the flashing paps! I just think everyone needs to lighten up and go be the best parent they can to their own children!

“Calling this child autistic is really uninformed and ignorant. How quickly you forget the pictures of her in Germany laughing and playing at the playground. And there are other examples out there of her “engaging.””

* * ** * * **

If there are other examples out there of her “engaging”, why don’t you post the links here so we can see them. You can’t because they don’t exist.

Suri has been in HUNDRED’s of photos since she was born, only ONE shows her smiling and that was in Germany over a year ago. So don’t tell anyone here that they’re wrong unless you can show otherwise. One of out hundreds is concrete evidence that there is something seriously wrong with her.

What syndromes ofa spoilec hild, #59?

Jeez. You don;t know TomKat yet you think you know how they raise their kid. How do you know they aren’t instilling discipline?

And could everyone keep comparing Suri Cruise or any other child to Violet Affleck or any other child. Every kid is different.

“We spent a lot of money going to top neurologists and it turned out that he is a completely normal and very social child, he just didn’t like that doctor and didn’t know how to express it with words.”
*******

#80 - Given your experience with your son and the totally unbelievable lack of logic you used to diagnose him, I suppose we could say that Suri is not engaging because she just doesn’t like Katie and Tom and she just doesn’t know how to express it with words.

LMAO!!!! I think you are right on, pooky……It’s not that she is autistic, it’s the freaks, Tom and Katie, that she can’t stand being around.

Seriously, I think this makes more sense than anything else that has been suggested here.

Thats some sick crap for a 2 1/2 year old to still be on the bottle. Katie and Tom oughta be ashamed of themselves. They are teaching that child to always need something in her mouth, which will lead to drug abuse, or smoking.

My favorite all American girls and they are the ultimate All American family representing Hollywood. A rare one that is.

———————————

So the All American family belongs to a cult that thinks anyone who is not a Scientologist should be “disposed of without sorrow”? What kind of religion advocates something like that!!

Seriously. Learn about the cult Tom belongs to and dragged Katie into from thousands of people who escaped. They believe in destroying all psychiatrists, attacking anyone who disagrees with them, disconnecting from family members who say anything against their cult and lots more. Sorry but thats not my idea of an All American Family.

***************************************************************

You make a very good point. It must be hell for A-list parents to try to raise kids in a normal environment when their every move is being scrutinized and photographed. You are right that you don’t see Shiloh Jolie-Pitt or Violet Affleck or Kingston engaged all the time. But you do see them engaging some of the time. I’ve never seen Suri engaging any time. Z wouldn’t smile for the cameras but at least she reacted to them. She would give them this “get the hell outa my face” look that cracked me up. But Suri just puts up this blank wall all the time. Maybe this is her defense mechanism against all the crowds and cameras, but I’m just getting a feeling there is something off about this child. I hope I’m wrong.

THIS MAKED MY SUNDAY A HAPPY ONE.

My former ped. thought my son was autistic because he never engaged the doctor and threw a toy at him.
******************************************************************

Your former pediatrician is an idiot. You could have saved yourself a lot of money taking your child to all those neurologists. If my child responded to other people but wouldn’t engage the doctor and threw a shoe at him, I’d think he simply didn’t like that doctor and I’d find another one. Simple common sense.

Let me add here that many small children go through a phase where they are scared to death of doctors because they think they are going to get another shot. When my son was a year old, he used to start crying halfway down the block from the doctor’s office. He recognized the building the office was in and he was like “lemme outa here”. When I told my mom about it, she laughed and said I did the same thing when I was his age. Kids go through this a lot but they get over it.

““Kate’s” mom is spending an awful lot of time in LA now. Evidence that she is terribly worried about her juvenile daughter.”

How did you get all that just from her mother spending time with her child and grandchild?

Quit making things up, #69

“Suri has been in HUNDRED’s of photos since she was born, only ONE shows her smiling and that was in Germany over a year ago. So don’t tell anyone here that they’re wrong unless you can show otherwise. One of out hundreds is concrete evidence that there is something seriously wrong with her.”

What an exaggeration, #81.

Could everyone stop playting doctor and quit trying to diagnose people you’ve never met via photographs?

Class act and real American
family and thanks jj for the watch info.

what is her orange bracelet stand for?

Go to Google/Images and type in Suri Cruise. You’ll see several pictures of her “engaging.”
I don’t think as voyeurs, we can call a child autistic based on her pictures. If you have a medical degree with a concentration in autism, do let us know.

the child is almost 3 years old and still using a bottle and a diaper-what gives? ok the child could be in the process of being potty trained and the diaper could be one of those pull up things you see on tv. i’ll give them that. but the bottle??i hope that thing is full of water and not some sugary stuff. what’s wrong with a cute little sippy cup in what ever color/design the little one llikes.

as for the child being autistic; that i don’t know. i’m not a doctor and no responsible doctor that i know of would make a diagnosis like that just by looking at pictures. but look at what’s going on. everywhere this child goes the press follows.

she has had cameras and flashbulbs in her face since the beginning. i think what we see in the pictures is fear. she’s afraid of all these strangers. what i want to know is why katie and tom just dont say ENOUGH. no more!! take their child away and hide her for awhile. give the little one a break. let her be anormal little girl for once and not an appendage to two famous parents.

I love this family…

i work as a social worker of the dept of child and family services in new york. having said that; i have to tell you that you are way off the mark here. i agree that this child should not be using either a bottle or a soother as her age. her parents should know that. it indicates bad judgment on this issue; hopefully someone close to them will be able to convince these people of it. however; it does not mean Holmes and Cruise are incapable of parenting their child effectively.

i also have to tell you that being members of a cult, or followers of a religious group not universally approved of, doesnot automatically negate the rights of holmes and cruise to parent their child in the manner they see fit. i can point to courts cases all across the united states where judges have ruled in favor of parents who are involved in what we in the mainstream refer to as cults. being a memeber of a cult (scientologist in this case), in itself, does not automatically make you a bad parent. if that were true we would then have to remove every child from every mormon household in america. afterall, for many people; the church of latter day saints is also a cult.

as for complaining to the department of child and family services about these two parents; please!!!. you spend ten years doing my job; ten years of dealing with cases that come across not only my desk but the desks of my co-workers. i promise you at the end of it all you will have a new definition of bad parenting and children truely in need of protection.

Mind sharing some social worker stories with us, #95? What awful things have some parents done?

to becca #28 @ 07/20/2008 at 2:53 pm

I am an adminstrator in an agency in contract with ACS. I fully agree with you that Cruise and Holmes cannot by any stretch of the imagination be called abusive or neglectful or even “bad” parents. They are very protective of Suri — my concern is that they are possibly overprotective. Being overprotective is not “bad” parenting but it neither does it help a child to grow and mature. But many parents who make the mistake of “overparenting” their first child, learn to let go a bit with the second child.

People are so mean. Katie looks great for 55.

Oh, wait……

#95 and #96–
Thanks for being a voice of reason. However, #28 is living in lala land and probably won’t listen to a word you so eloquently said.

For all you know, I am a Doctor. Obviously, I know quite a bit more about Autism than you would since I live with it on a daily basis. That baby hasn’t smiled or thrown kisses in quite awhile.

Suri autistic? Oh my God that’s pathetic and stupid.

Hey girl, I’m not even mad because I didn’t say that. I did however, say I loved two posts in this thread. Please check your facts again.

I like this family and little Suri is a darling girl.

I think the celebs do read these blogs,because now Suri has her bangs trimmed. That’s better for her and she looks adorable!

Katie is always bragging about how advanced Suri is. Being in diapers and still on the bottle at 2 1/2 doesn’t seem like a “brilliant” child to me.

Why do we never ever see Suri with her siblings (yes Tom has two other adopted kids Connor and Isabella) why don’t they ever hang around with Suri and why do they not live with Tom and Kaite and Suri in their big ole 35 million dollar house. I find it pathetic that Tom spends so much time with Suri but not enough time with his other kids. I do not know if Suri is autistic or not but I have never seen a child seem so emotionless in my life (a good sign that something is going on with that child what it is nobody really knows.

I do not understand a child being over 2 and still being on a bottle whether it is laziness or the lack of knowledge that is causing this maybe Tom and Katie should take some parenting clasess. Stop taking poor little Suri shopping take her to a park, a zoo, something put her in some tumbling classes.

This is just my opinion if you do not like what I have to say skip my post altogther.

pull ups are training pants @ 07/20/2008 at 5:41 pm

Pull up are Traing pants. They have some cute designs on them. There are Princess designs and a favorite of Heavens is the “Dora the Explora design. Trying to get a closer look but it looks like Pull ups.

These post have been a fun read. Yall crack me up. You all crack me up.

ugh when I go to the Grove I always missed them.

Why would teenagers hang out with a baby and their parents? There are plenty of pics of Tom Cruise spending time with his eldest kids (usually his son) that you ‘conveniently’ miss.

She’s still on the bottle because they just want to. Let it be, #103. Imean, parenting classes? Seriously?

The cute little girl is going to be fine because she has parents who married each other and who are committed to her well being. Tom’s other kids seem to be doing great.

Suri is an American Doll.

Suri is a cutie pie. Very beautiful.

Hey #92 - Where in the fu*k do I remotely infer that Suri is autistic.
Learn to read “dancer”. You better be glad you aren’t using your real name, cause you just made an idiot of yourself with that stupid comment of yours.

2 American @ 07/20/2008 at 7:50 pm

Are you a lesbo? You seem to care just a little too much about anything negative that is said about KH.

Oh my God people, calm down. Nobody ever said Suri was autistic. They said, based on what they can see, that she MIGHT show some of the characteristics of an autistic child. And none of you are doctors either so you don’t know that she’s NOT autistic.
I agree that Tom and Katie do NOT need to be turned into CPS, especially when there are parents neglecting, abusing, molesting their kids. They could be doing much worse.
Most kids are potty trained by 3. She just turned two in April, she’s not even 2 1/2 yet. Give her time. She might be potty trained but wears pull ups out of the house in case of accident.

For those that are saying she should be potty trained already - do you have children? She turned 2 in April, so she is 2 yrs 3 mths old. Most kids potty train around THREE years old. Between 2 and 3 is totally normally. My daughter was born in January of the same year as Suri so she is 2 yrs 6 mths old and she is not potty trained yet. Again - totally normal! And she is my third child so I think I know what I’m talking about. As for the bottle that is their business. My son was on a bottle until 3 and he is now a totally normal 7.5 year old so get over it!

I just love Katie, Tom and Suri, but worry about Katie’s health. She is always pale and seems to be getting worse day by day, including depressed. This time last year we saw an entirely different Katie. She was smiling, and dressed in classic fashion clothes and shoes, wore beautiful make-up, and her hair was cut in that fun chin bob, with straight across bangs. What went wrong? Suri, is just a normal child, with everyone over-reacting. Who wouldn’t with pap’s and camera’s in her precious face all day, and no privacy to shop with her mother and grand-mother. I would not smile either, and doubt that my 3 year old grand-daughter would react any differently. She would hide in my shoulder and beg for me to hold her out of fear with all those people screaming at her and flash bulbs burning her eyes out. Maybe, Broadway will cheer Katie up. I wish her well. She is beautiful and talented.

#110,
Glad to know you are a real horse’s butt!

Wow. Whoever said that Suri seems to have the blank look on her face all the time now is right. These are the most recent pics in the gallery of Suri making any kind of face at all. Recently she’s usually sleeping or staring. She used to wave to the paps and smile but now it seems she’s really scared of them.

I’m a male, #111 , and I just think it’s wrong to stand badck whle awful things are said about these poor people

“And none of you are doctors either so you don’t know that she’s NOT autistic.”

What a terrible argument. It doesn’t work like that

looks like the nephews of Katie were w/ Connor at the show set.

Can someone tell me if Connor & Isabella also drank that barley-
corn syrup concoction?

Also, was Nicole followed by Scientology minders?

Suri Cruise isn’t drinking any crazy concoction. That was another lie by a tabloid. This one in particular by Life & Style.

No. None of Cruise’s wives and former wives were followed around

Suri is always held because they do not want the lunatic paparrazi attacking her. i would do the same. Mind your business on the bottle. They can do what they want, it is their kid. She is not autistic. she is shy. I have seen alot of cute pics, i would hide too if the mob photo people attacked me everyday too

wow suri is almost 3 and still wears diappers thats rly messed up!

wow suri is almost 3 and still wears diappers thats rly messed up!

Boy that Suri is looking like L.RON more and more these days. Love those reddish highlights in her hair. Unlike the baby wig she wore (in black) on the cover of Vanity Fair. Definitely L.RON’s child.

lol. She’s not *almost* 3. She’s not even 2 1/2.

THANK’S GOD, CORA #124, FINALLY SOMEONE FOUND THE TRUTH…… LOL

My son was 3 before he was potty trained and my daughter was
2/1/2. Also my son was 4 until he stopped sucking his thumb and my daughter took a bottle at bedtime until she was 3. Every child is different.
I also, think that some people are being to hard on Katie. I think that she is very concerned about Suri. Maybe, that is why her mother is with her. She is probably on of the few people giving her emotional support. It is obvious that something is wrong with Suri. Whether it is a developmental problem or autism, I don’t know what it is, but, something is wrong.
I think potty training and bottle weaning are the last things on her mind!

and to American…….
“Could everyone stop playting doctor and quit trying to diagnose people you’ve never met via photographs?”

this is a gossip blog, get a grip.

tell ya what, as soon as you STOP telling people what to say and what not to say on this site, they will stop gossiping, how does that sound?

Sounds impossible to me

Don’t you have a life, libraesque?

And could conspiracy theorists pick a father already? Hey, #124, it can’t be L. Ron Hubbard AND Chris Klein AND Josh Hartnett AND William Mapother AND a Tom Cruise look-alike

suri is great ……i like her i wanna have a daughter like that……….amazing baby ………….

Board_Nazi @ 07/24/2008 at 10:26 pm

Yeah, don’t you haters have lives? Your’re interfering with posting sycophantic comments under different nics and attacking people who make anything less than a sychophantic comment.

Cults? Come on already with the same old BS, what cult? This family has more money then God, can do whatever they want in life, yeah, Katie looks real miserable! She never looked so good. She’s the best dressed, hands down, in HW right now, and beats Angie by like 1000 miles in that dept. She’s a beauty, and Suri? a living doll. Shiloh is still wearing diapers, you saw the pic of Brad holding her going into the hospital to see ange and her diaper was showing, she’s the same exact age as Suri, but not a word is said! The bottle, yes, it’s time to give it up, but who knows why she is still on it, and it’s none of anyones business but theirs. For all the commotion made 24.7 about how beautiful Brangelina’s family is, Suri is the real beauty, no doubt about it. Shiloh is adorable, but not the living doll this one is. Let’s call a spade a spade. All the ‘cult’ talk is beyond crazy now, and can only come from people with twisted minds.

I agree Suri is a beauty, I have not seen one celebrity baby yet that holds a candle to this little percious beauty!!!!

Tom totally ruined Katie. Maybe she’s only with him because she’s a fan, like she said. And Tom is with her because he can “play” with her…

i’m not very fond of katie holmes/tom cruise (i agree she seems totally controlled by him) BUT i don’t get the outrage at suri still having a bottle. people act so high and mighty about their toddlers using sippy cups when it’s practically the same as a botlle! they are both bottles with sucky tops. how is that “better”? sippy cups = wider, more colorful bottles. and as for the “still in diapers” thing, my son wasn’t completely potty trained until he was 3. does that make me a horrible mother who should have social services called on her? hardly. some kids need more time. such judgmental people here. yes, you’re all entitled to your opinions, but can you seriously tell how “good” of a parent someone is by seeing if their toddler is still using a bottle or in diapers? i’m sure all of you do many things with our own children that (if made public with photos everyday) people could rip apart too. all kids are different and all parents are different. there is no ONE right way to raise a child. and if you are so rude and judgmental (as your posts seem) i’m sure you’re passing that rude behavior onto your kids (kids learn behavior by watching their parents). can’t wait til your rude, judgmental, bullying kids are in school with mine…

Suri is autistic, the lack of communication skills, not being potty trained and on a bottle at 2 1/2 is typical of most/all autistic children and goes on until intense, one on one direct behavioral teaching shows them otherwise. But, it is more than that, it is her non involved personality, gaze avoidance and lack of apparent play skills and peer communication and stemming that makes her another one of our unfortunate 1 in 150 autistic children in the world’s newest statistics. So is Jayden James, Britney’s son.

Suri has an outstanding beautiful blue eyes. Tom and Katie is lucky to have suck beautiful daughter.

Tom is losing it. he should let Katie have fun instead looking awful at home. he should ket her go shopping with friends and get new shoes. women loves fashion.
