16-year-old Connor Cruise, adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman has decided to rebel against the Church of Scientology – the religion he was raised under.
Connor sent tongues wagging when he showed up at the TeenNick HALO Awards wearing a symbol of Jesus Christ around his neck. Scientologists are allowed to celebrate Christmas but the wearing of such religious symbol is not in the rule book.
“He’s starting to rebel against his father and the other components in his life, maybe even Scientology,” reveals a source. “He wants to be independent…but Tom doesn’t want to want to give up control over his son.”
Connor also seems to be suffering from “middle child syndrome” as he is having a hard time dealing with the fact that Suri Cruise is receiving most of his father’s attention and he is sick of being tied down by his extremely strict father.
“Tom is always off doing his thing, [when Connor was younger], working like a madman. He travelled all the time, and was totally focused on his career. When he came home, he didn’t always have much time left to give. Connor is at a crossroads in his life. He’s been pushing for more freedom – he wants to drive a car and date whomever he chooses,” says the source.
“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” actress Katie Holmes and daughter Suri were spotted visiting dad Tom Cruise on the set of “One Shot” in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
You can’t lie – Tom Cruise is looking hot in these pictures!
Tom has signed on to play Jack Reacher in the upcoming thriller One Shot. This lastest leading man is a character from Lee Child’s book of the same name but the casting comes under fire from some fans. According to the book, Jack Reacher is 6’5″ and not particularly handsome. Casting Tom Cruise is basically going in the exact opposite direction from the tome. Cruise is a whopping 5’7″ and, well, pretty hot. Especially with his new hair cut – Love that!
Here’s to hoping that ‘Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol’ won’t suck. I have high hopes for this movie, since the first couple were actually really good. I love a GOOD Tom Cruise action film, they’re just hard to come by. I also wonder if Tom even has it in him anymore. It’s been such a long time since he’s had a good – blockbuster film. Is he even an A-List actor anymore?
Here’s the trailer – which in my opinion actually looks decent, but I’ve been fooled one too many times by a good trailer. I thought Knight & Day looked good.
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise stepped out last night at the premiere of her new movie, ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’. Celebitchy reports that the dress Katie is wearing was designed by – Katie! The dress is from Katie’s clothing line Holmes & Yang.
I actually really like the dress, and I think she looks beautiful!
Tom Cruise practiced rockin out on the balcony of his hotel room in Miami, Florida over the weekend. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Tom said he’s “having a blast” getting his musical feet wet.
The 48-year-old star, who plays aging rocker Stacee Jaxx in “Rock of Ages,” will sing Def Leppard’s, “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” as well as Bon Jovi’s famed power ballad, “Dead or Alive,” in the film, and Tom said he’s “learning a lot” about vocal performance.
“I’ve always loved music, but… there’s nothing like doing something yourself to give you a greater appreciation for what this art form is and it’s fantastic,” Tom told Ryan.
Julianne Hough, who plays Sherrie Christian in the musical, also had nothing but good things to say about working with Tom when Access recently caught up with the dancer/singer/actress.
“’Commitment’ does not sum up the whole Tom Cruise-ness. He is so unbelievable,” Julianne told Access as she teamed up with Cesar Canine Cuisine and the American Humane Association to kick off the voting campaign for the first Hero Dog Awards in New York City late last month. “It’s amazing.”
Julianne said Tom carries off his role as the successful, but aging rocker, Stacee, with aplomb.
“There’s no ounce of like, T.C. in that,” Julianne said, referring to Tom’s initials. “It’s all Stacee Jaxx, the character. He’s unbelievable.”
“Rock of Ages,” which also co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin, is slated to hit theaters on June 1, 2012.
I love that Tom’s just practicing on the balcony. Wonder if he was actually singing – or just acting like he was singing. I think Katie’s face says it all.
