I was just thinking the other day that we hadn’t had a crazy or inappropriate or funny story about Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes or Suri in a while. We’ve gone the whole new year without a crazy Cruise story, and I’ve missed them. I think they’ve missed us too, because just as soon as I thought about it, the story came out that Tom, Katie and Suri were spotted at an LA theatre to watch Mary Poppins – for the second time! That was small news compared to this one though – it’s probably crap, but it could totally be true: Tom Cruise shelled out $30,000 for a little replica racecar for Suri. It sounds like Tom, doesn’t it?
TOM Cruise has bought his adorable little daughter Suri a custom-made miniature replica of an Indy race car worth $30,000.
The Top Gun star reportedly splashed out $30,000 on a custom-made miniature replica of an Indy race car.
“Suri has been mesmerized by auto racing n TV so he thought it would be fun for her to have her own little car to ride in,” a source said.
“If Suri truly takes to the sport, Tom plans on having a little race track installed at his L.A. property. But for now she’ll just be going up and down the family’s long driveway.”
Recent reports claimed Tom and his wife, Katie Holmes, would be trying for another baby in 2010.“Both Tom and Katie desperately want a little brother or sister for Suri and they don’t want to leave it too late,” dished the loose-lipped insider. “Tom would like a son but either way there could be some happy news soon.”
[From News.com.au]
I am truly surprised that Tom and Katie haven’t figured out a way to have another child. I would have thought a second baby would be part of Katie’s contract- er, I mean, “she loves her husband.” And beyond that, Suri does have a brother. And a sister. Bella and Connor, Tom’s kids with Nicole Kidman. Even though those words came from an “insider” I still hate the way people talk about Tom and Nicole’s adopted children, as if they’re not real kids, or if little Suri and little Sunday Rose don’t have a real brother and sister already.

Heels and lipstick? This kid will grow up to have more issues than Casey Johnson.
love it. tom in a turtleneck sweater and heavy coat, and suri looking at the camera while holding a sweater distainfully by two fingers as if to tell everyone, “see, i have a sweater– if i wanted to wear it i would, but i am made of stronger stuff than my daddy.”
There are people carrying heavy winter coats in the last picture of her in the green dress, and the kid is standing there in a strappy dress and heels! If she wants to wear dresses all the time at least by her a sweater dress, or better yet be the parent and insist that she wear a coat to cover up! The stupidity of those parents amaes me! It’s like they are afraid to tell her waht to do because the kid will throw a tantrum…UGH!
Aww, 13 year-old Suri is working the lipstick and giving the camera ‘good face’ in that last pic…wait…what do you mean she’s ONLY 3????!! *Facepalm*
It’s hard for me to believe that kid is 3 and 1/2.
Suri is such a beautiful little girl, it’s a shame she will be ruined by Tom’s idiotic practice of giving her whatever she wants. I mean, I was spoiled too as a child but I had rules, structure and discipline. I have a feeling that this child runs the parents, not the other way around, which does not bode well for Suri. I wouldn’t want to be her…it seems like it would be great to get whatever you want, but it never ends well. I’ve seen it too many times, and this won’t likely be an exception. It’ll be interesting in about 10 years to see how this turns out….
Oh, and it never fails…whenever I read about celeb parents, I am ALWAYS ALWAYS grateful for my regular, down to Earth parents. I’d rather have them than any celeb as a mom or dad. What a mess.
Journey BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA!
I love the little cranky face she has in the 2nd picture.
Trust me, Suri will be trouble with a capital T when she gets older.
Kaiser I agree, I hate how they (whoever that may be) talk about Conner and Bella, or seem to forget to mention them.
And does anyone remember any crazy ass stories about Bella and Conner? Maybe it was Nicole who made sure they were kept out of the press. Remember they only started appearing in the press once Suri started being pranced around.
Thoughts on that gang?
Good points- I dont hear any stories about gifts for his other kids-the ones who happen to be adopted. Seems like the media is more obsessed with birth kids- like how Shilo and the twins got way more coverage than the adopted kids. I am waiting to adopt and I worry about how he or she will be treated differently by others. Suri is a cutie and looks like she will be a grand diva for Celebitchy’s next generation of readers.
Sadly Pickle I don’t think we have to wait for 10 years. 🙁
she looks like a stuck up entitled little brat already. i cant imagine what will she grow up to be, being so spoiled and handed everything at the 1st demand. 3 years old being paraded around cameras in heels and lipstick…i feel so bad for the little girl.
Just A poster-
I know, but imagine how entertaining it will be when she’s old enough to drive and go clubbing (which I imagine she’ll attempt to do at 13-14). This could be the Highlander of spoiled celeb kids…”There can be only ONE!” and I’m putting my money on Suri! I hope there’s decapitations involving swords though, imagine how fun that’ll be to watch….
I think the ONLY WAY for Tom and Kate to get press these days is to put Suri in a sundress, lipstick and heels. How sad is that. Tom: “Hey, honey, I have a movie coming out. Get the kid ready.” Kate: “But, Tom, she’s in her bunny pajamas with the feet.” Tom: “I’ll cut you loose without a penny if you don’t.” Kate: “Ok, Tom, red or pink lipstick?”
I wouldn’t have thought that a “girly girl” would be into auto racing…
I get that maybe she just flat out won’t wear a coat or sweater, but for god’s sake at least stuff her in some tights! Or how ’bout sweaters with sleeves?
In defense of the “insider”, they did say that they wanted Suri to have a LITTLE brother or sister. She already has older siblings.
How sad. I don’t see Suri driving that racecar very often. She’d have to take off her high heels to press the gas pedal all the way down. Then she might wreck it whilst applying her lipstick in the rear view mirror.
I guess if he has the scratch to buy her a $30k mini Indy car, good for him. His daughter, his money. End of story.
On the one hand, they are rolling in dough. On the other hand, the man’s unbelievably stupid and wasteful. Suri doesn’t long for racecars, it’s for him.
Just look at the last photo – another young Paris Hilton in the making. I will be very surprised if she grows up and acts normal. The few women I know who have grown up with everything they want and no punishment have turned out to be very selfish, hateful, bullying people who have no thoughts but for themselves, and who incidentally, cannot find a man who will put up with their b!tchiness.
Oh lord, here we go again with the screaming about kitten heels and no coat. *sigh* I’m sorry, but any story that might be had about these three is always overshadowed by how Suri is dressed. I know, I know, just skip over it. I will from now on!
She is cute, but I bet she’s going to be a spoiled little monster, if she isn’t already.
That kid is ALWAYS inappropriately dressed for the weather. I remember all last winter and this winter, in all the photos she had no jacket, short sleeves, etc when everyone else was all bundled up, including when they’re in cold areas like NY. I think it’s good to let kids choose what to wear – as in here, choose from these three jackets. Not choose which sundress you want to wear in January.
It doesn’t sound like there’s any parenting happening there at all.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought Scientologists didn’t allow their children to watch TV. If so, then how is it that a child of Thetan is ‘mesmerized by auto racing on TV’. Hah, she’s probably watching Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Hour. God, I miss that show. @ Sumodo, I bet Tom would get LOTS of press if he dressed up in lipstick, a dress and heels. In fact, I think he’s Suri’s fashion inspiration.
Expressions on these photos read: “Yes, I deserve that 30k car. What’s it to you?”
Suri = Veruca Salt.
She’ll be screaming at daddy that she wants the goose with the golden egg nooooow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU7nG3KvZDA (It’s safe, it’s just the video from Willy Wonka)
*nice* toddlers and tiaras look she’s sporting
hate this family. tacky, overindulgent, self-important
LOL @ snowball!
There is something supernatural about that child. Creepy-supernatural.
Days of Thunder revisted.
Like daddy, like daughter (the heels I mean.)
I know it’s his money, I know they can do with it what they will, but all I can think is, give that $30,000 to St. Jude’s you creepy bastard. The kid is 3 years old!
You see, if she puts a coat on her CPU overheats and then all hell breaks loose.
Does that child have any play clothes? Does she even know how to play like a normal child?
I have never seen a photograph of her relating to other children her own age.
@Firestarter: You mean ‘Children Of The Corn’ creepy supernatural or ‘Girl Scouts Who Have The Power To Make You Order 10 Boxes of Samoa Cookies’ creepy supernatural??? LOL.
It’s something behind the eyes I think…
she’s more made up than Lourdes, as if that’s possible! way to teach your kids all about self confidence!
I think that this is a case of even if you can buy your kid a 30,000. relica car, doesn’t mean you neccessarily should.
Yeah, I bet she’s already a hand full for her nannies.
@canadianchick… good luck with the adoption process. Here’s hoping all goes well for you.
Phowie-
She’s a small wonder, pretty and bright with soft curls.
She’s a small wonder, a girl unlike other girls.
She’s a miracle, and I grant you
She’ll enchant you with her sight
She’s a small wonder, and she’ll make your heart beat twice.*
She’s fantastic, made of plastic,
Microchips here and there.
She’s a small wonder, brings love and laughter everywhere.
LOL I loved that show…..
I LOVE SURI!
@pickelhaube: Ah, now you’ve done it!
The Hollywood screenwriters who troll these gossip websites are gonna pitch a Small Wonder movie idea at their studio’s brainstorming session today.
The idea will get greenlit and the movie will open Summer 2012…starring,you guessed it Suri Cruise!
@LolaBella- LOL! Definitely “Children of the Corn” and “Omen” supernatural. Although, if she were a girl scout, I could see myself being terrified enough by her to buy the cookies that no one else ever orders!
Yalls all screaming about no coat. Robots don’t need coats. heehee. If she is a child, spoiling her like that will make her one bad brat and a bunch of trubs later on, which will be entertaining nonetheless. What happens when she wants drugs and a new whoredrobe when she’s a teen? It may be fine letting her raid daddy’s makeup drawer now, but there comes and time when a child should learn the word no.
children are gift from God and Suri is a beauty.
“children are gift from God.”
Or from IBM.
Can someone PLEASE point out to me any characteristics of her “father” Tom Cruise??? lol
Don’t be hard on this little girl! Four year girls love playing dress up. I can just imagine what she’d be wearing if it were up to her. The sparkling tiara, pink boa and angel wings were probably left at home!
People act like the adopted kids don’t exist because the parents act like they don’t exist. Both parents (Tom AND Nicole) go on and on in interviews about their kids, Suri and Sunday. Never mention the other kids. They parade their “real” kids around in public. Where are the other kids? Do they even get to see their siblings? They’re not at the park together. They’re not shopping together.
So either (1) they don’t see their siblings, or (2) they see their siblings in private, and then the adopted kids are told “we’re going outside now, you adopted kids stay inside and pretend you don’t exist.”
He can spend all that money on a “toy” car for her but he can’t spend money on a coat? WTF?!
And also, I doubt Suri is using the car. I bet Tom is riding around it. He’s small enough to fit in it, I bet.
I hate this child and the cult that created her. Another piece of scientoloshit.
Damn, Annie, that’s mean. Hate on the cult all you want, but how can you hate on an innocent little girl? It’s not her fault that her parents don’t seem to know jack about how to be parents.
@Benny: IIRC, that’s Tom and Nicole’s daughter Isabella in the photo where Suri is wearing the green and blue dress.
How about spending some money on tights and sweaters. Geeze, the kid never have the proper clothing for the continent she’s being pranced across.
Lousy parenting skills those two.
She looks like if you cross her, she’ll cut you!
I agree, give the money to St. Jude’s. These people have money, but no values.
The earrings, the heels, the lipstick might be OK if it were “dress up” time, but she looks like this ALL the time. If a 3 year old kid down the street insisted on dressing sexy all the time, wouldn’t you wonder what was going on at home?
All snark aside, how do all of you KNOW that the Cruises do not make charitable donations? How do you know they are selfish and do nothing for others? As demonstrated by the biggest charitable donor of all, Justin Timberlake, you do not have to run around announcing all the money you donate and the time you contribute to causes. Some people do it annonymously, without media fanfare, and without the desire to be praised like Gods for it.
I remember when people were bitching about Pitt buying expensive furniture and then spending, money on a chateau, everyone who loved them said” Oh, but it’s their money, they earned it, they can spend it on whatever they want” Well I believe the same goes for Cruise. It’s his money, he earned it, and if he wants to buy Suribot a 30k fake Indy car or a 300k real Bentley, it’s his money to burn.
Like I said, there are plenty of people who donate tons of money to charity, and I am sure Cruise is among them. You just don’t hear it because either the media is not interested in reporting their good deeds or the donors do not openly talk about it.
has this child got a turn on her eye, her so called daddy would be better off spending his money on her health than on his alter ego
Um, I thought it was public knowledge through federal tax records that Tom Cruise makes his “charitable donations” out to the Church of Scientology.
Here is a link:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-511395/Tom-Cruises-2-5million-donation-Church-Scientology.html
Not to mention the fact that there seem to be constant stories about the way Katie & Tom hemorrhage money on extremely trivial things – such as Katie’s $6,000 wrapping paper bill, her alleged million dollar shopping trips, the story about them buying Suri custom made Christian Loubatins to match her mother….
Anyway, it’s like another poster said, sure it’s his money and he CAN spend it however he pleases, but SHOULD he? Should he really be buying a 3 year old a race car? It’s his right to raise his daughter however he pleases, perpetually prance her in front of paparazzi lenses, dress her in heels and makeup and never make her wear a coat. BUT we are allowed to judge. On that same note, I totally judge Tom for his membership to the Church of Scientology. I fully believe he is batshit crazy, and he is razing a daughter who will be a hellish spoiled and ignorant adult. I believe Katie has a contract. I think its only a matter of time before Suri, the only one in the family with any star power left, starts staring in her own films much like Jaden & Willow Smith, and Ella Travolta. The Scientologists think nothing of pimping out their kids for publicity and good will.
Is it just me (edit: ok its not, love Lolabella and posers comments) or is Suri’s expression in that second picture loking very primadonna, spoilt, snotty?
I’m calling it now- Suri will be the next Paris Hilton: entitled, clueless, stupid mess.
I don’t follow Tom/and or Katie so I was just curious did we hear about these kinds of gift with Bella and Conner. I don’t recall seeing many pictures at all of the older children. NEVER.. and I don’t recall Tom and Nicole talking about the older children as much. But hey I guess Suri is different.
A few points (some I’ve seen here, some I haven’t):
If Suri doesn’t watch TV, how could she be “mesmerised by auto racing” – that is, assuming Tom hasn’t been paying off the paparazzi to keep photos of the family at NASCAR events out of the tabs;
A 3 year old who’s rarely photographed without her heels, accessories, and perfectly applied make-up doesn’t strike me as someone who would be “mesmerised by auto racing”;
Tom already has a son – his name is Connor, and he’s a gorgeous kid.
Yes, a second baby is in the marriage contract (or so I’ve read). I’ve also read Katie doesn’t want to have another kid with the man. Yes, I think Suri is going to be Hell on wheels from the time she’s around 12 years old until, well, who knows. Yes, I think Nicole was the sane one in the relationship, the one who kept Connor and Isabella out of the press and grounded in the “real world”, and kept the gifts down to a semi-realistic minimum. Yes, Tom may donate money, but I think it all goes to his church (and the scientologists) – in his mind, no other charity would be worthy, since the great Xenu can cure depression and cancer and all those other pesky things us mere mortals can’t seem to figure out.
I think Nicole speaks very little about Connor and Isabella (outside of her love for them) because Tom has custody and INSISTS they be raised as scientologists. Otherwise, I’m sure we’d hear more from her.
I wanted to hate on this SO BAD, but that kind of is a nice photo with the two of them walking together…I was like…”maybe he is the father…”
Hope she doesn’t get sick or hurt or anything, because Tom’s above medical intervention and THAT would be the real scandal.
Way to go Tom.
William Mapother has two movies in post production and two projects he’s filming right now. I’m sure when he wraps those up he can start the second Cruise project and get Katie and Tom their new little pet asap.
@Firestarter – IBM?! LMAO! That was priceless!!
And I also agree that she looks like one of the Children of the Corn. Scary!!
I think she looks satanic.
And I know her life in scientology will suck, but is it possible she too has realised that, at her young age? Because she never smiles.
And when she’s seriously injured in her new racing phase, that’ll be the end of the marriage.
He is an idiot, as is her stupid mother who permits her to go into cold temps sleeveless, leg-coverless and in heels.
I look at Suri and think of The Omen. That is one detached kid.
*shudders*
These photos remind me of something I heard many years ago: The best way to ruin your child – give them everything they want.
He’s gonna be mad when he realizes one day how much cash he’s dropped on a kid that isn’t even his! Suri is an exact replica of Katie and Chris.
– Mummy ? i need 1,000 dollars to buy myself my first mini Victoria Secret thong and that gorgeous pigeonning bra.
– Oh, and don’t forget that i absolutely need my saturday free for my manucure, pedicure and some hair extension. I heard that they have fantastic pinky mini tips with the perfect shape for my perfect mini fingers.
Taken from Suri Cruise Diary on April 2012…
@jayem- I get scared looking at her, especially when she looks right at the camera! She is pretty, but frightening!
i personally don’t care if he spent $30,000 on a mini replica racecar…in fact it’s probably pretty friggin awesome! that kind of cash is a drop in the bucket for them, it is of no consequence to them. it would be crazy if, let’s say, joe-schmoe down the block who makes $80,000/yr and just got laid off bought HIS 3yr old a mini replica racer. THAT would be crazy. but it’s not crazy for tom cruise to do it. just like, although it seems eccentric and hard to wrap our tiny penny pinching mortal minds around, the $10,000 that was supposedly spent by brad pitt to build the hamster world or whatever the heck that was for his kids. that also sounds crazy but could you imagine how awesome that would be????
what i like about this story and these picures is in the 3rd picture the difference between suri in her glittery sparkly gold high heels and make up and silly headband, and the isabella behind her in white keds and normal jeans and a purple hoodie-like every other normal teenage girl in america. i love it, the difference is astounding 🙂
People like this know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
I think the media/hollywood/press should stop tracking Hollywood children under 15yrs old.
I do not see the point to comment on a child IMO
I love gossip like crazy but I do not comment on children.
Kaiser, I love your column since finding it back in Ulm(Donau) you are better than this IMO.
@Jessie – “I doubt Suri is using the car. I bet Tom is riding around it. He’s small enough to fit in it.” LMFAO!!!
Actually in the first picture, she kind of does look like him. Who knows. I’m never going to believe that Tom & Katie’s relationship is “normal” by any means.
In a way I feel bad for the kid because she’s being raised (or not raised) in such a way that’s not going to be good for her in the long run. Probably will have little education, tons of material things handed to her, and possibly way too much focus on appearance. Playing dress up is one thing, I certainly did that as a kid, but it wasn’t every day in heels and makeup and big earrings. It’s not so much dress up as dressing like an adult. And she never does seem happy.
On a side note, I’ve never heard of Tom doing anything charity wise that did not involve Scientology. I’m fairly convinced it’s a big ol’ tax shelter for the rich, in addition to all its other creepy activities.
And IMO, the frivolous spending reports are too frequent for there to not be SOME truth there.
I just had a terrifying thought! What if in a few years time they’re pushing Suri into movies like with Will Smith’s kids? Oh dear God!
i feel sorry for that kid. you let your kid dress up in private, but not in the public eye. parents do have a certain responsibility, i do not see any of this with tom cruise. he is so stubborn about his image as a “father”. but who does he think hes fooling with this?
Her eyes don’t line up together.
Poor kid. That flamenco dress a couple of weeks ago was a pedophiles’ dream. Other famous folks like Jennifer Garner are always at parks etc. having fun with their kids. Suri will be a handful if not already.
I agree with one of the posters…
I have never seen this kid smile
in any picture I’ve seen of her. And she gives off this terrifying stare on that picture with the green sun dress on. Creepy.
I like the Adams Family more than the Cruise’s Family.
Is that lipsick or Herpes? When that poor girl ends up an alcoholic, crack head, spoiled rotten, stripper she has only daddy to blame.
Good post. Thank you for this.
She’s too cute. Look like her beauty belong to her dad & mom.
You know what?
In Thailand, there is a vote, “what do think who is the richer between Tom Cruise and Tom Hank?”. And some reply answers that Hanks is richer because Cruise bring some money for buying new dresses for his daughter. LoL
I LOVE SURI!
Suri alwas moody when she see at the camera.
cute daughter!!!
