Celebrity Feuds
Cruise Lawyers Spank Baby Store for Babbling

In a move totally out of character, Tom Cruise has sicked his lawyers on luxury baby boutique Petit Tresor, accusing them of babbling to the tabs about Suri's outrageously expensive designer Scientoloduds.

According to the cease and desist letter sent by Cruise's law firm, the store leaked false info that Suri's parents dropped a cool $350 - $400K on the tot's wardrobe over the last two years. Tom and Katie's mouthpieces claim the store violated their clients' right of privacy.

The lawyers are asking the store to, "not say anything (whether true or false) about Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes' shopping habits."

When TMZ spoke to Petit's Andy Behrman all we got was, "Are we allowed to comment?"

61. He could have used the $400,000 to help a new Scientologist reach OT8. That's right, $400,000 and you too can be just as enlightened as Tom Cruise. Boycott all Scieno celebrities!!!

64. I searched everywhere and Consumers do not have the right of privacy over disclosure of their purchases. The Consumer Bill of Rights is below:
The Right to Be Safe

The assertion of this right is aimed at the defense of consumers against injuries caused by products other than automobile vehicles, and implies that products should cause no harm to their users if such use is executed as prescribed. Established in 1972 by the US federal government, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has jurisdiction over thousands of commercial products, and powers that allow it to establish performance standards, require product testing and warning labels, demand immediate notification of defective products, and, when necessary, to force product recall.
[edit] The Right to Choose Freely

The right to free choice among product offerings states that consumers should have a variety of options provided by different companies from which to choose. The federal government has taken many steps to ensure the availability of a healthy environment open to competition through legislation including limits on concept ownership through Patent Law, prevention of monopolistic business practices through Anti-Trust Legislation, and the outlaw of price cutting and gouging.
[edit] The Right to Be Heard

This right asserts the ability of consumers to voice complaints and concerns about a product in order to have the issue handled efficiently and responsively. While no federal agency is tasked with the specific duty of providing a forum for this interaction between consumer and producer, certain outlets exist to aid consumers if difficulty occurs in communication with an aggrieving party. State and federal Attorney Generals are equipped to aid their constituents in dealing with parties who have provided a product or service in a manner unsatisfactory to the consumer in violation of an applicable law. Also, the Better Business Bureau is a national non-governmental organization whose sole agenda is to provide political lobbies and action on behalf of aggrieved consumers.
[edit] The Right to Be Informed

This right states that businesses should always provide consumers with enough appropriate information to make intelligent and informed product choices. Product information provided by a business should always be complete and truthful. Aiming to achieve protection against misleading information in the areas of financing, advertising, labeling, and packaging, the right to be informed is protected by leveral pieces of legislation passed between 1960 and 1980.
[edit] The Right to Education

To have access to programs and information that help consumers make better marketplace decisions.
[edit] The Right to Service

To convenience, to be treated with courtesy and respect, to responsiveness to needs and problems and to refuse any services offered.

Petit Tresor should have their attorney throw the lawsuit out. You don't have additional rights, just because your Tom Cruise.

65. Two things make me ill about this story...first, the crazy amount of cash spent on a childs clothing. That kind of coin could have clothed most of Rwanda!! Second, the stupidity of the staff at that store! Need a job? They'll be hiring!!

66. Since when can't a business talk about the business it does? It's not like they pasted the family's check on a billboard. Geesh.
And what store "code" is this attorney talking about? Never heard of such a thing. Up to the store policy whether they reveal or not. My word. All this leads me to ask the question -- do the CruisesIs have a confidentiality agreement handy everywhere they go, and for everything they do, see, eat, breathe and live???? They jumped the shark a long time ago. Please leave. Suri, too.

70. The Cruises' can't do anything correct according to some people. When you insert the word Scientology the hate, biggoted people come out of the woodwork. Even going so far as to say nasy things about ababy. Sad, very Sad.

71. Why don't the "fab family' just buy a country someplace far away and never return?????

72. To those who say Tommy is within his right to sue. That's baloney. Don't you know that when you shop at a store, any store for that matter, they sell your personal info and shopping habits to marketing agencies? Why do you think they ask for your telephone number? Or you use a shopper card at the supermarket?

They use your shopping habits for marketing purposes. Also, Katie probably pays for everything w/ a credit card (I doubt she has a wad of cash stuck in her ugly clothes) -- that's another tracking device.

There's no such thing as privacy when you're shopping. He could have avoided that altogether by sending the help to pay for everything in CASH.

What a stupid cry baby.
