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.

61. Ahh as if they really care. I've had a perfect environmental idea that will make a huge difference saving the planet, but does anyone want to spend an hour of their precious time looking at it. fuuuuugetit Everyone thinks your a scammer of a con artist. No one is willing to sit down and listen. Are you sure that this isn't just Tom's way to overshadow the fact that he said People don't need antidepressants. Gee I wonder if the Mom of the little girl could use some Tom???

62. Do you think the Mom of the little girl could use some of those anti depressants now Tom?

63. Yes, of course the PESTICIDES that people use to kill living grass, kills children and causes cancer. I don't believe you don't know that?? What is that saying?

64. Why do you think so many housewives are getting cancer. Does toxic cleaning materials mean anything to anyone?

65.
i feel terrible for anyone with cancer
i hope she recovers

but i also believe tom cruise would do ANYTHING do rehab his image
i simply think he is the boy who cried wolf
in the oprah interview all he did was blame everyone else for his past interviews
well, i went back and watched them
and NO - he wasn't pressured, nervous or egged on
he was arrogant, dismissive and egotistical
that's the REAL tom - everything else is just marketing
and so is this little stunt
the mother , just happened to be there did she??
right
sure
we believe you tom

66. Are people really that stupid? The world is an illusion of sanity, be very careful what you eat, what you buy, what's in the air, if your house is close to factories or powerlines......the list doesn't stop. Are people that naive? really? They don't know the horrible statistics on cancer in children or in adults? They don't know our life expectancy is lowered by 10 years since we have created this cancer building situation and it's causing our own demise. If I repeat myself, please forgive, TMZ seems to be censoring every second message.

67. hmmmmm, I don't put pesticides on my front lawn, just some good ol' water. Is that going to cause cancer as well? Please, someone let me know! I need to know wheather or not to even leave my house, for fear of cancer, and fear of giving your kids cancer. Hey, in the 80's, didn't sweet 'n low cause cancer too? And red M&M's? Help, I'm scared. Can you hear the sarcasim, I'm laying it on pretty thick.

69. Watch who you sleep with too....Viruses can cause cancer too. Not to mention the colds and crap they catch at school. Look up your sons and daughters, or consider home schooling at least. And Pesticide companies ----you know where you can go, since you insist on dragging the rest of us down there with you.

70. May have been a plant BUT it's not a lie and as a Mom I know that I would do whatever I had to do to bring attention to my child if I needed help. I went to the site, GraceO'gorman.com and this isn't just a story. Grace is a little girl in need of some serious help and I hope that with this attention she will get it. WE HAVE ALL contributed to Tom's wealth so maybe he will spare a few bucks and help this baby get the treatment she needs and deserves.

71. It's possible that the charity is real but that the woman herself was a plant to try to make Tom look sympathetic.

Just because there is a real child with cancer does not mean this isn't a fraudulent ploy. Tom has done so many dishonest things, I have no trust in him anymore. One way to make this scenario look authentic is to have a real website, and make sure that the TMZ viewers can hear the audio so they can look it up for themselves. When they do so, they assume everything is on the up-and-up.

72. Good I hope you're scared. I wasn't either until they killed my little boy in the hospital when he was 5 yrs old, because they refused to help him with his aggressive cancer. Check Rate Md's. Oh did I forget to mention a decent doctor and a lack of mistakes in on hospitals part might help too. Thanks for your support, I think I'll go cry my eyes out of a little while. Yeah, aspartane is really bad for you numbnuts.

73. I am NOT a Tom fan, but this is not a plant. The woman is mom to 2 yr old Gracie from the UK. Gracie has stage 4 Neuroblastoma. As aunt to a 4 year old with the same cancer, I can tell you that these families will go ANYWHERE for help. Most kids with this disease die within 5 years (many in as few as 2 years) The longterm survival rate is around 20%. Very little research is being done for lack of funding. I don't like him, but I would ask Tom and Katie for help in a heartbeat if there was a chance of my nephew beating these odds.

74. Instead of giving Tom a backhanded compliment for his actions with the mother desperately looking for support from her daughter maybe you guys should post the website and encourage all your readers to at least check out the site and possibly make a donation.

75. Yeah the fn chemo route sucks. I miss my little boy. I wish I could have done something, anything to save him. I wish our world wasn't so horriblily tainted. I wish they didn't make so many mistakes at the hospitals. and I wanna know what special treatment Ryan ONeal got to let him live with the same cancer that killed my son. Aren't you glad you have a two tier health education system in the States. They keep trying to do that here. After you've lost a kid to cancer what else is there left to say????
