Kid Caught in Cruise Crossfire; Tom Dazed Too

Posted Nov 13th 2006 11:10AM by TMZ Staff

Tom Cruise -- Click to WatchIt was a knock-down-drag-out day at the soccer field for Tom Cruise on Saturday, problem is -- the victim was an innocent toddler caught in Tom's paparazzi crush.

It went down moments after Tom put his soon-to-be wife, Katie Holmes, in a passionate liplock, then took off for the restroom -- as usual, a crash of photogs followed. As the star smiled and slowly paced toward the public toilets, a toddler wandered into the crush, and fell to the ground. "She's bleeding!" screamed the child's mother.

A shocked Cruise stared blankly before extending his arm in a vain attempt to console the kid with a backrub. The child's infuriated mother picked up the kid and began walking away, offering a few words of advice to the world's most famous actor: "You should live in Colorado, get away from them (the photogs)."

Moments later, Tom whispered into the ear of one of his "people," who took off after the Mom and her wailing tot.

After the drama, Tom finally made it to the restroom. Mission accomplished.

2. wait a minute...as much as I can't stand Tom Cruise, that lady should be pissed at the photogs not him. I would sue the pants off of the paparazzi that knocked the girl down.
It wasn't Tom's fault you stupid woman.

3. So how exactly is this Tom Cruise's fault???

Eh, I guess everybody needs a scapegoat and everybody's a Jew to someone else in the end.

4. 1) Sued for backing into a kid that wasn't being protected by its mother? Oh please.

2) Who said anything about a Catholic ceremony?? It's at a castle, not St. Peter's Basillica.

5. That woman was very whiny. I think she overdramatized a bit.

6. I would have gone after the photog. Nobody bastard pushes my kid.

7. Not sure how Tom is to blame here, I doubt he wants to be trailed by paps while he goes to take a leak.

Maybe she should go live in Colorado, or better still, learn some First Aid so next time her child has an accident she doesn't just stand screaming.

8. The Catholic Church does not recognize wedding unless they are perfomed by a Christian MInister.....Scientologiy

9. Scientology is not Christian. The Catholic Church would not recogize his previous marriages....Period. To the Church, he has never been married...
And, the woman should have NEVER taken her child to be around Tom Cruise. What did she expect? Stay away from the fray,,,,,,She should know better.
I am a born, raised, and schooled Catholic and have my own marriage problems with the Church so I know what I said is true....

10. how is getting married in a castle religious?

11. Have to agree with ya Kiss it.

It's the MOTHER who should've been protecting her child. And the photogs should've been more aware of their surroundings.

Tom Cruise had nothing to do with it. The mom was just blaming him for her lack of watching her kid!

12. Did you guys listen to the clip? It sounds like she WAS pissed at the photogs (she said to Tom: "why won't they leave you alone?" "This is sick" "Live in CO" etc...) She didn't blame him. She was telling the photogs to get away.

I would hardly call the kiss a "passionate liplock" though, LOL.

13. These photogs are nuts. And I'm sick of Tom using every excuse possible for a photo op. So, he had to give Katie a passionate kiss before heading to the john? Then another time they were stuck together like velcro? As long as they keep putting on a show for the photogs, this will never stop. Colorado isn't far enough away to suit me.

14. If the mother is clueless that Cruise attends these games, and is always surrounded by photogs - then shame on her. Perhaps her parenting skills should be questioned.

15. Well I guess now if you fart around the midget , he is to blame...come on ppl.

Anyway I heard on E news that they were having a catholic cermony then a scientology ceremony.
It s a little wierd that the catholic church will not recognize his previous marriages simply because they were not catholic ceremonies especially since he claims loud and clear that he is a scientologist and he cruise considers it a religion, that enough for any catholic priest to cringe.
Nicole was able to have catholic ceremony because she was never into the scientology thing and you can seek permission from the church in special circumstances to marry in the church. However in Cruises case that should be a little difficult since he is a raving scientologist.

A catholic ceremony will be the height of hypocrisy and the church will be put in a bad position. If they are involved at all they shoud have to think twice before officiating this ceremony.

In anycase I congratulate them on their nuptials, hopefully the prenup is watertight and the divorce date agreed upon.
