Suri Cruise is Made For Manhattan

why would we believe a parent-hating hateful person is going to have a caring loving heart towards the kid? if you love the kid why you hate the parents who brought the kid to this world? why you blame the parent not the aggressive paparazzi?

Lincoln, I never said I blamed the Cruises for what the paps do. However, the Cruises are only in control of what they are in control of. I blame them for only that. Media is in a frenzy because for some reason people buy and read anything about the Cruises. I don’t think that is because they are popular (which I believe the Cruises do think). I believe it’s because the majority of the public sees them as freaky and weird and wonder what they are going to do next. What they are in control of, is how it affects their young daughter. Had they come out of that door, and the flashing started and KH turned her daughter to her body and put a hand on her head to comfort her…. side stepped a bit to shield her from the lights and commotion, I’d have said, she was being comforting and protecting. Had TC walked between his wife and the frenzy, also comforting his daughter and protecting them or at least trying to, I would have said good father. However, both of them did not. They had control of the entire “moment”. First choice, they took her out at night to an event not exactly toddler friendly, I would expect. Second choice, they chose to do it knowing there would be a media frenzy. Second choice, they did not discreetly exit the restaurant. Third choice, their daughter was “held” in a position that gave media exposure to her but was in no way comforting to the child. Fourth choice, when their daughter began crying, they did not attempt to comfort her or put her first, they continued to hold her exposed to the media, smiling and sauntering to their car. Sorry, I don’t find anything about that few moments natural. It was contrived and abusive to that child. They used her for a few moments in the media. As far as her walking, no, I wouldn’t put her down either. She’s two and there’s a lot of whackos out there; they control that part correctly in my eyes. They let her walk when it’s safe and you see that plenty in photos from afar. The bottle, I don’t agree with it now, but for different reasons than get expressed often. That’s their challenge to deal with, if it presents itself.

What exactly ARE they in control of exactly, #103? They’re in control of never taking their daughter out anywhere at all until she’s 18 where they WOULD be bad parents or using ludicrous different cars and entrances?

You nit-pick way too much. You;re acting as if they were holding her up high so the paparazzi could take photos (that video didn’t even show their daughter’s face at all) or should have started yelling at them and attacking them. They were leaving to their car and Holmes was holding her tightly. That’s all you can ask for.

Taking her out at night is dumb not-pick. She’ll be photographed in the day or night and I think the parents should decide at which hour they’ll take their kid out.

There’s ALWAYS going to be media frenzy with them? What’s your point?

Discreetly exit the restaurant? They should have used silly side entrances and the paparazzi would have never stalked them regardless.

Lincoln, you have a very closed mind. People who are both haters and lovers of this family are saying that the child should be better protected since she is CLEARLY distressed. Do you hate Suri? Is that why you have on blinders to the pictures we’ve been bomarded with over the last few weeks. #103/Cindy Jean is right on target. They are holding Suri with either her side or back to them so that her face is showing outward to the paps. Would it be so difficult to turn her inward and cuddle her? Would it? Or put a blanket GENTLY over her head and walk calmly to the car?
Are you saying too bad if she starts crying as the flashes get more intense when she is put in the car?
Are you such a fanatical fan that you can’t see a child in distress?
I’ve noticed you never answer that question. You just harp on their right to take her out anywhere at anytime in any condition(s).
You must be a scientologist who is trying to stick up for this bad parenting example.
Personally I can’t imagine Brangelina, the Afflecks, the Damons, and hell Nicole Kidman letting their child(ren) suffer like this. I believe any of these parents and certainly other hollywood parents would try and do what they could to negate the effect of the flashes, the yelling, the pap frenzy etc. All kids are different, and did it ever occur to your closed minded brain that maybe Suri shouldn’t at this time in her life be exposed to this craziness. Maybe just maybe they should wait a few week, months and then try again?
I must say based on the posts, several of us on this thread just don’t get why you are an advocate of this type pain this child is going thru. Why is it okay that she is put in situations where she is crying and distressed? Can you answer that?
Tom knows the game and he knows how to play it when he doesn’t want to be seen or noticed.
So I guess what so many of us are asking is why is playing the game with this child now? And why continue playing when she is clearly upset? We went for months without seeing a picture of Suri and now she is all over. Yet you say it is their right to do this to her and she will turn into a turnip or something if she doesn’t get to the park? Where was she the weeks and months where we haven’t seen her picture? So why now? And why can’t they chill and let her adjust?

Lincoln, there has to be something wrong with you. “They were leaving to their car and Holmes was holding her tightly. That’s all you can ask for.”
Holmes was holding her tightly, FACED FORWARD. That is the point. Suri wasn’t being cuddled or covered or comforted. That is the point.

I feel sorry for you Lincoln, who ever you are and I am shocked that you think that “That’s all you can ask for.” I also feel sorry for Suri for having closed minded fans of her parents like you.

First time I’ve seen Tom take care of the kid all by himself.

Lincoln, hate is a very strong word. I’m 50 and in my lifetime, there are only three people I have ever relegated to the hate category and all three of those abused and used their children for their own gain. I’m talking outside of the obvious abusers.

I don’t care a rat’s butt what the Cruises do in their personal life. I don’t hate them, I don’t like them…. their job is acting and they can get on with it just as I get on with my job.

I do find their lives interesting which is why I read, but I can take it or leave it.

But, I do have an opinion on that last little snippet of video and I find it challenging. I’m not apologizing; I found their treatment of their DAUGHTER (a little human who deserves respect and nurturing) disturbing. She’s not a prop; she’s not a little adult…. she is a child. She does not have the emotional maturity to deal with all of the things that her adult parents do.

Now, they can get a babysitter on red-carpet nights, why not to go out to dinner for a couple of hours? TC had her out to the park that day as I recall; no one was insisting that she be kept under a bushel basket. But as responsible loving parents, you do have the control in how best to protect and care for your child.

I’m entitled to my opinion just as you are. I found their behaviour in that video abusive. I do believe they use Suri as a prop.

I’m going to add this. I’ve never been a big KH fan; she’s mediocre at best. However, I did think she was adorable. She was cute enough, but her smile could light up a room. When she smiled, her eyes danced and she sparkled.

That is gone. The only time she comes near it is when she’s posing on the red carpet. When she’s out with her daughter, she’s almost wooden; her eyes are dead and the smile is almost non-existant. This from the woman who used to sparkle, up to and including when Suri was an infant.

Yes, life changes. But ask yourself what is different now than a year ago. What changes someone that drastically. Even if it was effort because of the publicity a year ago; what’s different today?

If life was so joyous a year ago that she smiled and sparkled; where has that gone and why? It should be better now.

Again, I could care less what they do….. except where that little girl is concerned. She deserves better than to be used as a prop because Momma and Daddy’s egos need boosting.

Congrats to Tom & cast and Tropic Thunder for finally taking down Batman on its throne. Dad and daughter looks so happy and beautiful.

CUTE BABY
HOT DADDY

Oh, and NO, I’m not a scientologist. Not everyone who defends or likes this family is a scientologist. Another immature comment.

Sorry, the papparazzi are pursuing the Jolie-Pitt children in their secluded home’s backyards or shooting shots through a photo while they shop for baby clothes. They aren’t simply being dragged with them on set or at 11PM at night when Mommy and Daddy go to adult events–or playing in parks that are oddly secluded. Stop bringing up their family, it’s not comparable.

I said it again: Tom has been attacked because he challenged some authority figures, their authority, their power, intelligence, and income, etc, as if Tom has no right to his own beliefs.
As long as we know Heath Ledger died of overdose. He had used anti-depressants but they did not help him much. And I have seen some other anti-depressant disappointment cases. So I welcome a little doubt to the authority of psychiatry. And I think the public should welcome the challenge. I mean what we, the public, lose. Maybe we should welcome the competition. Maybe psychiatry does need a push. Why should we only know echo the authority figures or the mainstream theory, like just bashing at Tom? Just saying.

“When Suri Cruise wasn’t spotted earlier in the year, it was probably because she wasn’t taken outside at all.” What?! Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln….. Do you realize how insane this sounds? Do you really seriusly believe that the only time they take their daughter outside is when they are photographed with her??????????? Crazy and Katie would more than likely be mortified to find out that their biggest defender/fan in trying to ‘defend’ their actions, did in fact, just make the point that they keep their daughter locked up inside the house, and is only outside when she is photographed. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
