As the release date for Andrew Morton’s Tom Cruise biography nears, more and more juicy tidbits somehow keep getting leaked. But this time, “spoiled diva” and “absent mother” Nicole Kidman is getting the brunt of it…
Morton reveals in the book, “Those who saw the family close up concluded that Tom was much more comfortable and enthusiastic as a parent. The actor was in constant — and controlling — touch with the youngsters and their nannies no matter how busy he was.”
Additionally, he claims that Nicole would rarely call to check on her children when she was away. When filming or visiting family in Sydney, Morton states, “it could be days before she would phone to see how Isabella and Connor were coping.”
(Ed. note: Based on what I’ve heard from a former assistant of Nicole’s, that sounds about right. Apparently. Supposedly. Allegedly. Seemingly.)
The book also claims Nicole acted like a”spoiled diva” during their 10-year marrriage, alleging that: “If the jet wasn’t stocked with Beluga caviar and all the trimmings she appeared deeply irritated, exhibiting a jaded petulance [back when she was able to express emotion]. . . Nicole often seemed bored or disenchanted with her life as a Hollywood star, expecting a luxurious lifestyle as her birthright.”
I know exactly how she feels. Hey, if they don’t serve Cheese Nips on my Southwest flights, I am ready to CUT a bitch! Don’t those people know who I think I am? Hmpf.

This all brings back an article I read a fews years back in either Rolling Stone or Esquire before the divorce. Nicole did this odd “interview” with the journalist. Anyway, it ended with Cruise having to call the hotel room of the MALE interviewer and asking for Nicole to hurry up because it was getting late & everybody was hungry & waiting for her. Everybody meaning the kids. She spent the time getting drunk in a bar with this guy & laying with him in his bed in his hotel room.

The real question is who yelled louder when not satisfied, Nicole or Tommy.

I thought she was so pretty in “Days of Thunder,” (I think) that first movie she and Tom made together when he was married to Mimi Rogers; with her red curly hair and normal lips. Now, she looks like a mannequin.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Tom and Nicole have always been downright, uptight egomaniacs.
And based on that old clip of Tom at the Scientology awards in circulation these days… (because he cares “so very, very, VERY much.”)
…they need to lock up his crazy ass fast.

Librarian Kathleen-
I was one of the few that saw “Malice”-
She was good in it.
But I have to say that she was great in “To Die For”-
as was Illeana Douglas.

Hoo Boy-just watched “Fur” and I have to say-
Robert Downey Jr. acted Nicole under the table, from the other room, dressed in a hair suit, where all you could see was his eyes.
It should have been an equal playing field as Nicole’s eyes are the only things that move on her face, but it wasn’t! Downey FTW!
What I want to know is, how in the hell did she pull off
“The Hours” ? There has to be a pact with Satan for her to keep getting movie roles. The only thing I can figure is Satan told her she could have an oscar if she ditches that crazy scientologist-even the devil is afraid to mess with that shit!

I think Nicole should get an academy award for sticking with Cruse for as long as she did I’ve been married to one man for a lot of years, but I never could have survived being married to such a controll freak. He had to controll everything, including the kids, no wonder she wanted to run away to Australia so often! I would have run away forever.

Maybe all this is the reason that they don’t call her “Mom”.

I can’t wait til Connor and/or Isabella go through a rebelious phase… I would drop everything, pull a Drew-Barymore-in-never-been-kissed and totally become their best-enterprising-friend ever.

Honestly, though. If I had to be in an arranged marriage to a crazy gay with two adopted prop kids…I’d really want that “lifestyle” to be exactly what I wanted. Oh, she’s down in the mouth about no caviar? What about the fact that her husband likes other men? I’d say she did the best she could living in CruiseLand.
