Cruise Puts Crazy on Hold for Cancer Victim

The manic antics surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were suddenly subdued when the mother of a two-year-old cancer victim ambushed them for support outside their New York hotel.


Tom was anything but glib while listening to the woman's story.

46. While Tom was in his "destroy career mode", he made ALL kinds of inferences and references to how OTHERS were living their lives and how wrong they were and how right he is. Only HE can help. Only Scientology has the true answer. He pushed his views down our throats and got in our faces at every opportunity, whether to promote his movie or Katie's movie, or just further his own agenda. He now regrets that and is back-peddling big time. I truly am sorry for this mother if this is true, and I don't think all the crap about Suri being an alien are true, etc., but I do think Scientology is dangerous, and I think he is in "damage control mode" now, and trying to rehab his image. When anyone becomes as arrogant and know it all publically as he has seemed to be the past few years, people have a right to comment and denounce his views as hogwash. That's THEIR right. As far as all his Scientologist friends, not impressed with them either.

48. Shame on all of you NEGATIVE people! Who cares what Tom Cruise believes, if Katie is a "fembot", or if Tom puts footprints all over Oprah's couch or Matt Lauer's face...you people have obviously never dealt with a child with cancer. It's heartbreaking & as a parent, you will do whatever it takes to find a cure (or even just ease the pain) of your child.
I volunteer for Emmanuel Cancer Foundation in NJ (emmanuelcancer.org) & I pray that my children never have to face that type of illness. Please donate, you're helping these children have a chance at a normal life, even if it's just for a few weeks or months.

50. By the way, I've been a "Partner in Hope" for St. Jude's for several years now. I will donate to this little girl, but not because of dingbat.

51. If you listen closely, you can hear the mother say the girl's name and website. It is http://graceogorman.com. It looks likte there is enough information and people's names on there to "verify" the girl and and her condition.

Very sad. I hope the Cruise's help her.

By the way, I like Tom Cruise. He has a great smile and is a handsome man. I also think his intentions are good and often misunderstood. And no, I am not a Scientologist, I am Catholic. I think Tom needs to make a romantic comedy again, kind of like the kind Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan made, instead of all the weird movies he has been making.

52. I totally don't agree with Tom Cruise's beliefs, but, if that woman was indeed a cancer victim's mother, then it shows that he's still got a big heart. He shows it in strange ways sometimes, but I believe he's well intentioned. Which is something 99% of the population can't say...

53. I'm no Tom Cruise fan, in fact I can't stand him. But it was very decent of him to listen to the Mom's story and I hope that he gets his wealthy friends to help this woman. Go to the website, it doesn't seem to be a fake. Graceogorman.com

Good luck Mom!

55. Katie sure is no Paris Hilton ! Paris is slim, tall, blonde and beautiful, dedicated to sick children everywhere. She is a role model. I would be proud to call her my daughter. If I was Tom & Katie, I would help that child, but will THEY ??

56. Amy- you're right ! Tom would be great in a comedy with Meg ! Or Goldie Hawn ! How about Rosie O' Donnell or Whoopie ? I'm not kidding !

57. Yes, it very sad that 1 - 5 kids has asthma, and cancer in kids is not uncommon, and the teachers are teaching our kids that their life expectancy has gone down by 10 yrs because of the way we pollute the earth. Then I drive around the block and I feel intense hatred toward the lawn care polluters. It's very sad.

58. All I can say is 'MAKE IT RIGHT" STOP POLLUTING OUR PLANET WITH PESTICIDES AND KILLING OUR CHILDREN.

59.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING.

SORRY FOLKS - DO A LITTLE RESEARCH
This is the same organisation that infiltrated the IRS.
They have hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal
AND ARE CURRENTLY IN MASSIVE DAMAGE CONTROL
You don't think they could organise this ??
Puuuuuhhhhhlllleeeeaaaasssssseeeee

Whatever arrangement they made
IT IS A BIG FAT SET UP.

The cult of scientology are buying up millions of dollars of advertising on youtube and myspace and many many other popular sites.
Their google adwords monthly bill would feed an African nation.
This organisation has and will stoop to anything.

DO NOT BELIEVE ONE MOVE TOM MAKES
Why didn't he offer her a sauna and some vitamins?
Or a few auditing sessions to clear away the thetans?

IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK......

SCIENTOLOGY - worse than you ever imagined.

60. Lawn care causing kids to have cancer? Are you f***ing serious?
