Nepotism News
Filed under: Film Flickers > Tom Cruise > Nicole Kidman > Will Smith
Connor Cruise, son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, is making his feature film debut in Will Smith's production of Seven Pounds, according to new reports.
An insider says Connor had to audition for the part and that Tom is "so proud" of his son for "doing this on his own."
Puh-leeze.
Like Will would really turn Tommyboy's kid down.???
Own the nepotism! It's insulting when ya don't!
We're willing to give the kid a chance. Family connections can unleash the 'good' (i.e. Sofia Coppola) or, gasp - the 'bad' (i.e. Rumer Willis).
P.S. A normal Hollywood parent would want their kids to stay as far away as possible from acting, dontcha think?????
Tom probably wants Connor to recruit all of tween Hollywood to Scientology.
Miley Cyrus needs some Xenu!

#### yall watch that Beyonce new music video where she is all pissed off at Michelle and everyone else on defSpot Com
The song and video and has leaded on line and its on there now
It doesn't matter what the industry is, it's all about who you know. Take it where you can get it! Good for him, if that's what he wants to do!
Sofia Coppola? Good? Did you see the Godfather Part III?!?!? She was by far the worst part!
Tom Cruise is an Ugly Douchebag. Full of himself ass. Never liked him, never will. Katie is an ass too, cuz she's STUPID.
Will Smith's son got his role in some movie with his dad 'on his own' too….
how come i have never seen these kids before? i have suri's chinese face seared in my brain, but he Kidman-Cruises..? couldnt pick em out of a crowd
I have NO respect for celebrities who say that their kid needed to "audition" for a role. Do celebrities seriously think that the rest of us are as stupid as they are?
Nobody wants to see Tom Cruise in a movie, so why would we want to see his adopted children? Why are Scientologists allowed to adopt kids anyway? They are indoctrinating them into a SICK dangerous cult and that's ok? Will Smith's career is the next one that's gonna go down the tubes now that he's hanging around with the Xenu famlly.
hala Madrid hala Madrid
Does anyone really care? Did anyone really surprise the tc's kid is in a movie? He will, as with Katie, be on the side adding his own crap in so Connor looks good. He will do anything for press. God only knows what is going to happen when suri is old enough to act since he seems to lavish over her more than the other two.
I believe that when Connor was adopted, I saw him listed as Connor Kidman, not Cruise.
Your all so clever for putting a line through Nicole's name.
Ok Nambla Man .. leave the children alone.
Madonna put her daughter in her MTV VMA set when she gave Britney the kiss of death ! I wonder how many other girls out there would have loved to have put that on their portfolio, so stop blowing smoke up are asses !
Like your not using your site to get free porn set to you.
I'm all for anything that gets that poor kid out of the house and away from Tom's crazy ass.
Go Connor! I hope you meet some normal people on your journey!
I couldn't agree with you more Perez, well said!
That's one big kid. Maybe he should pass a little food Katie's way…
"PLEASE FEED ME CONNER!!!!"
so proud little connor did this on his own;; are fricken for real;; on his own;; no help from anyone;; he has super powers;; tommy spawn
I hate these people who get where they are because of their parents. I don't support them.
not really honest they buried thr article about the central park perv
I doubt that they just gave the part to him, I'm sure he earned it! I'm sticking up for Connor!
Why is he black if he has 2 white parents?
Who else believe that Connor is really Tom's biological child? The kid look just like Tom, like a black Tom Cruise.
Wonder if the movie will be any good
when he said good for sophia coppola he meant in terms of her directoral skills not acting skills she is an amazing director…virgin suicides anyone…connor is connected so he might as well try it out if he sucks then he will be a passing fad if hes good then he will be around for a while
tom has a black child!!!?!?!?!
Why is Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's kid black?
why is nicole kidmen's name crossed out?
Tom & Nicole adopted Connor when he was five days old and took him from the hospital, they also have a 14 year old adopted daughter. Unfortunately when Tom & Nicole divorced, Tom received physical custody of both Connor & Isabella, but what is most interesting and mean to me is the fact that the adopted children are rarely able to see Nicole for some reason unless Tom approves it. Also, the adopted children are now closer to Tom's current wife, Katie, and they call her mom and Nicole is known as just Nicole,also under Tom's commands. Nicole must have done something really awful to make Tom treat her this way and divorce her. I think it was for adultery on her part?????
He was adopted and Nicole's name is crossed out because Tom has 100% custody.
Can someone explain to me what Scientology is? Do they worship science? Do they believe in God? What is it anyway, it seems that only rich celebrities are involved with that faith is that true? Please give an open-minded response not based on your personal opinions about that religion.
Sophia Coppola was savaged for her role in Godfather 3. Most people felt she ruined the entire movie because her acting was so wooden. Now that she has carved out her own path with writing and directing - instead of letting her daddy cast her in movies - she is doing really well.
I would point out that Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire's son and Francis Ford Coppola's nephew, really played down his connections because he didn't want to appear to be one of those Hollywood legacies. Same with Angelina Jolie. That's why she went with her middle name instead of being Angelina Voight so people wouldn't think, "Oh, that's Jon Voight's daughter. Whatever."
Of course, if Conner or any child of an established actor does well, it is because they are talented, not because they have a "name."
Actually, I thought both Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation were extremely overrated and a bunch of suck. So much for Sofia Coppola's talent….
Say what you will about Tom. I for one believe he has done a good job parenting. All his children seem well mannered and happy.
Re: Will – Nicole signed her life away for a 10 year contract (or marriage) to Tom. What did she get out of it? Lots of money when they divorced and a jump up to the A list as an actress. If you think about it, who did most people sympathize with when they announced their divorce? Tom came out the asshole, tight lipped, "Nicole knows what she did." While Nicole came across as heart broken and still madly in love, kicked to the curb by Tom for some unknown reason. She said at the time and has since said, she had a miscarriage of his child. Was that her sin?
Bottom line, Nicole got what she wanted out of her contract. Sad that she lost her kids in the deal but she won an Oscar, right?
I think it's true that Tom wants to use him to recruit for Scientology. Poor kid. Nicole went back to her true faith thank goodness. The Scientologist are probably the one's keeping her away from the kids she adopted with crazy Tom, Connor and Isabella.
me thinks me surprised that perezzers knows a word like, "nepotism" - such a big word! wow!
Re: I want the truth –
And you are asking people here? Why don't you check it up on Wikipedia? There's a start…
Tom Cruise has a black kid?
Candy: Good point! I need to have my head examined. I thought perhaps somebody on this site knew the truth since they are constantly talking about Scientology here. I'll just go read a book about it now I guess. I can be so stupid at times.
I don't think anyone is going to say No to Tom unless they want to get dropped like Nicole. Tom still has power in Hollywood.
I AGREE!!! GIVE THE KID A CHANCE

BUT DON'T DENY THE NEPOTISM TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWN IT BITCH!!

..
"ON HIS OWN"……………..TOM SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!! SORRY Y'ALL…..I'M JUST PISSED CAUSE I HAVE TO CANCEL A FUN WEEKEND DUE TO A FUCKING T-STORM!!!
Can't he try to go to college?
I can't stand children who want to act because their parents do it.
Funny how you say Sofia Coppola is "good"…guess you must not remember the press she got for Godfather 3.
Better yet, watch it, and then see for yourself. It's bad.
Sofia Coppola is the worst actress in Hollywood history. She singlehandedly ruined an entire movie that was part of one of the most successful franchises in film history. Audiences laughed out LOUD. She's made about 2 movies that worked. Without her connections, she'd be asking you if you want fries with that. Rumer is getting there. But someone could stick her head in a fryer by accident when they ran out of fries.
Geez…I'm tired of these "nepotism" posts.
For one, learn the fucking definition of "nepotism" Perez. You do this every so often in situations that are actually FAVORITISM.
Nepotism refers to giving handouts/favors/preferential treatment to FAMILY.
Last time I checked, Connor Cruise was not related to Will Smith.
Now, Will Smith giving his OWN son a part in his movie…..THAT would be nepotism. Learn the fucking difference.
Re: caroline – caroline. perez thought he was funny when he crossed the name out because he was trying to say that since nicole never goes out with the kids into the lenses of the paparrazzi, she obviously spends no time with them. right? no. wrong. what he doesnt know is that kidman took the kids to australia for the whole summer last year, and they spend a lot of time with her and keith in nashville. she doesnt think its right to pimp out your kids and i totally respect her for that. the kids dont hate her either…contrary to popular belief!
Oh shut up Perez. A "normal Hollywood parent"? Then there are very few "normal" parents in Hollywood. Don't just throw that shit in because you're talking about Cruise. Let's be maybe even just a little less biased.
Seven Pounds of Shit Movie
I just have to interject that while Sofia Coppola did a great job with Lost In Translation, she is one of the world's WORST actresses. Just check out Peggy Sue Got Married, or Godfather III to see how truly awful she is. Rumer Willis is no Meryl Streep, but she did slightly better than that in Miss Guided. Just thought I'd speak up, since Sofia's acting actually horrified me.
FUTURE CRACK DEALER
Why do Tom have to have everyone in his house working? are they running out of money to live off of.
how many hollywood parents have theirn kids in the spotlight
hello will smith
billy ray cyrus
the willis/mooore/kutcher family
just to name a couple stars want their kids in the biz so they can watch them and so they can make more money when mommy and daddy are old and wrinkley and spent all their money on botox and jetplanes
i love that you use the term normal and hollywood parent in the same sentance, first and second if bothh your parents don't do drugs and barely drink and want there kid to pursue an artistic endeavor rather than say getting increasingly fatter behind a laptop reporting on the lives of other people…whats the harm in that? and although you now have some postive things on your website why spread hateful things about people you dont know? is is somesort of i wish i was popular in highschool revenge? i dont get it
Re: Filthy Rich –
Because he's adopted moron.
Lleva una camiseta del Real Madrid FC?
Un beso grande desde España querido Pérez!!
SuperSonicGirl
Damn…leave the kids race alone. He's adopted and I've heard him speak. He's a really smart well-spoken friendly kid. His dad's crazy. But he can't help it.
Re: Rogue –
MADONNA BOUGHT A MONKEY SO TOM HAD TO BUY A MONKEY
THEY ALL HAVE PARASITES AND THROW FEECEES AT EACH OTHER FOR FUN
I really hope you didn't just suggest that Sofia Coppola is a good actress. She was horrible in The Godfather: Part III. It was embarrassing just watching her.
Now, if you meant she's a good director, I can understand that. Clarity is key. Sofia is an example of nepotism gone both good AND bad. Very, very bad.
*
* Nicole married Tom to become an A list actress and snag an Oscar. Tom married Nicole because he is GAY GAY GAY and Nicole made him look normal.
They adopted kids to look like a normal family.
*
* Tom had lovers and Nicole had lovers. Nick got pregnant and Tom dumped her.
*
* Tom's career needed a boost and Hello Katie. Poor Katie.
*
Hey Tom! Tell Connor about what L. Ron Hubbard wrote about African Americans in a letter to his wife. I'm sure he'll appreciate being told that according to LRH, he was born to scrub floors.
Oh come on. It's not who you know, but who you blow.
i can here Will bitchin to Jada about having to cast this kid when you know he was ready to throw, prepubesent, Jaden into another role.
"P.S. A normal Hollywood parent would want their kids to stay as far away as possible from acting, dontcha think?????" from Perez.
.
.
So Perez's logic is that because their are scumbags out there like himself who will attack any effort of an artist to get in the business that you are a bad parent for still encouraging your kids to get into the arts?
.
Sorry Perez, but just because people like you or Harvey Levin are the way you are and make a livelihood of attacking art and artists doesn't mean that anyone should ever be discouraged from entering the field or encouraging their child from entering it.
.
And if you want to blame anyone for the difficulty in the arts blame people like yourself not a supportive parent who wants to see his kid realize his dreams.
.
How sad.
.
How sad.
dirty niggars — are ignorant individuals and that child is far from that you should look into the mirror
from behind, he looks like a little nigga boy.
HE'S WEARING A REAL MADRID SHIRT!!!
Fucking racist! Tough he's black, he's GORGEOUS n way CUTER than you! U probably already died when he gets older coz he's gonna be a future heart breaker n you're just end up as POOR OLD RACIST! U know it. Just admit it, ASS HOLE!
