Kid Caught in Cruise Crossfire; Tom Dazed Too

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.

16. 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!

17. Scientologist weddings are not recognized by the Catholic Church, that is why Tom's ex- Nicole Kidman could get married in a Catholic ceremony. Because to the church, she was never married.

you are correct patty bray

18. 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.

19. 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.

21. 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.

22. 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.

24. The mother is rightly pissed, but she's pissed at the photorats not Tom. I would punch the photorats in the mouth if that had happened to my kid. One of these days the photorats are going to cause a major accident or death.

25. We all know what would have happened if that mother was Britney! I think that lady should have been taking better care of the kid because she could have prevented that!

26. some of you are absolute idiots and obviously not parents.....if that was my child I would be kickin' some paparazzi ass. If you noticed, they were swarming the kid area and she was not yelling AT Tom, just to him about the sick paparazzi. The mother has EVERY right to let her child run lose in that area, that is what kids do at the park you MORONS! If you judgemental idiots had kids, you would know that....the paparazzi need to give it a rest, they don't need to follow Tom to EVERY SINGLE game, they are out of control!

27. tom turns every soccer game into a publicity stunt for himself. had he not been there, there wouldn't be constant commotion and more peace for the kids that play there. i'm sorry, 'a back rub'? sounds like he's uncomfortable around kids -- except when he's using his for publicity.
has anyone ever see him show up or leave with Connor???
nope. he just shows up, plants phony kisses for the cameras then leaves.
better yet, outside of showing up at soccer, does he do ANYTHING with his kids?? I've never seen them in the same photo.

28. TC could have ended up smelling like a rose if "HIS PEOPLE" had him make a major deal over the hurt child and offer help to the mother & child.....and it is TCs fault over the fact that he was there. The photogs always follow him............
Did he wash his hands? (no pics please)

29. At least most of you see this incident for what it was...NOT Toms fault.
Miapocca says...
"he is a scientologist and he cruise considers it a religion, that enough for any catholic priest to cringe."
That's funny...you should be very embarrased by your comment. If the Governments of the US, all of Europe, Asia, and ITALY recoginze Scientoloby as a religion, who are you to denounce it? Have you ever attended a Scientology service? Are you aware of the help given by members of the Church to disasters from the World Trade Center bombings to Hurricane Katrina?
Those who don't have a clue, other than what they have heard from the lying media should either find out for themselves or keep thier mouths shut lest they humiliate themselvs.

30. The lady should have gone after the person who actually slammed into her and her kid. Why piss and moan to Tom? If he lived in Colorado he would still be hounded their as well. Stupid woman!
