Tom Keeps Suri in a Cage

Oprah didn't pull any punches with Tom Cruise in their big interview today, asking him exactly what he was thinking when he went all Scientolocrazy on her couch the last time they talked.


But the craziest thing we learned about Tom? He and Katie have built a small playroom cage for Suri under the stairs of their Telluride house where she "has tea parties" -- Scientolospeak for reading LRH by flashlight, we're thinkin'.

Also, Katie's audio module was apparently activated for a very short period of time. Oprah confessed that she was "nervous" when she approached the house. No wonder.

151. I'm tired of the public berating Tom Cruise. He's good at what he does - acting in films. He has given us years of enjoyment and some of the best films Hollywood has to offer. Why must we tear him (and his family down) because he revealed his human side. So he jumped on a couch, so he blasted Matt Lauer, so he disagreed with Brooke Shieilds.

Let it go. Move on.

Be kind. Be generous of spirit and stop tearing them down. Sad. Mean. Viscious. And we wonder why we live in a world of hatred and division. It starts with each one. Instead of writing these awful things... go volunteer to help people.

152. I think TMZ should stick to the correct story!! I watched this show and all little kids like their own little space...what TMZ failed to report is the whole story...SURPRISE...SURPRIZE!!! There is a whole other playroom for Suri...that's probably bigger than most of the TMZ staffs' houses!!

154. Since both Tom and Oprah proved that it's hard for an adult to get into the "office", I'm wondering how sanitary that play area is. How is it vacuumed, dusted, spills cleaned up? Children Suri's age are still pretty messy. It looks kind of dirty.

155. Tom and Katie are grate parents! The play room under the stairs ,is a fun place for Suri to play.How much fun would it be for her to have a play house out side with her security team watching................It takes less than a minute to take a child................And for the couch jumping I would rather see him jump on a couch than to read on this wedsite that he sent Katie to the hospital or cut her head more than half way OFF..............THINK PEOPLE

156. Not to fear, they are grooming her to be the next Harry Potter, that's all.

157.
Gee. I wish some Scientologists would show up on this thread to defend Tom, I guess it's true that they don't
patrol the internet to inject propaganda that's supposed to seem like it comes from a disinterested everyman.

158. I watched the interview. I enjoy TMZ but they slanted the story. They also showed a very large playroom. If you want to slam Cruise that is one thing but do not write about an innocent child. Tom Cruise has done enough to write about for years. Leave the kid and her little playroom out of it.

159. OH GIVE ME A BREAK! WHY DOES TMZ TRY TO SPIN THINGS INTO WHAT THEY ARE NOT? I THOUGHT IT WAS SUCH A NEAT PLACE FOR HIS KIDS TO PLAY. IF YOU WATCHED THE WHOLE INTERVIEW YOU WOULD SEE HOW HE CLEARS UP THE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HIMSELF.

160. Tom Crusie ia a nut job. He needs some of those anti depressants that he is so strongly against. Katie Holmes is a stepford wife, I swear she is a robot now. That poor kid is going to be so messed up when she is older. Oh well maybe the aliens will have landed by then.

161. I think they just wanted to get that out of the way, before he starts going on all the talk shows to advertise his new NAZI movie he just made. Won't see that one either.

As for the playhouse.........I took one of our walk in closets and fixed it all up for my Grandchildren to play in, and my Daughter thought I was nuts. She and my Husband said they didn't think the kids would like playing in there. Well........that happens to be the first place the kids (2) 2yr. olds and (2) 4 yr olds head head for when they come to visit. The girls play with all of the doll stuff and the little kitchen, and the boys play with the tool bench and the cars......They love having their own little space....

162. As always, TMZ distorts the truth due to their extreme jealously of successful people. That is a cute little hideaway for little Suri under the stairs and what a wonderful thing to give her - her own little scaled down room. Ever heard of playhouses or treehouses? They dont have 8 foot ceilings, either, nimrods.

I am not even a Tom Cruise fan, by any means, but TMZ, you printed more misleading BS.

163. Is that a Harry Potter's deluxe suite? :-)

164. Honestly, I really think that he has gotten a bad rap for just being
a crazy celebrity. It seems as if we are more anti- Tom Cruise than
we are Britney Spears... a woman who has TRULY put her children at
risk. He may seem a bit out there, but none of us know Tom Cruise or
Katie Holmes. If he were Christian, would we look at him different?
Is it the Scientology issue that we all have a problem with? Yes,
he's kinda weird, but you know, we don't hear about him abusing Suri
or his wife. His views on the way the world operates may be different
from the norm, but he's not doing drugs, driving drunk, holding his
kids hostage in a bathroom, been hospitalized or in rehab or any of the other
crazy f*cked up things that celebrities do nowadays. Why are we
treating him like an alien? Chill out everybody.

165. Seriously! It's not a cage, it's a playhouse for a little girl!! Did anyone happen to also see the gigantic playroom he also had for her?!?!? Little girls love play houses and such, my daughter loves to play house and use her closet... grow up people and maybe worry about the destruction going on in the world and not about Tom Cruise and his family. Remember... we see what media wants us to see and NOT the whole story.
