Tom Cruise poses with a fan while shopping in Paris, France on Wednesday (04/26/06).
Tom Cruise pulled out of a press conference in Paris - to go shopping for baby clothes.
The star - who was in the French capital on Wednesday (04.26.06) to promote 'Mission Impossible III' - became a biological father last week when fiancée Katie Holmes gave birth to their first daughter, Suri.
However, despite feeling the need for some retail therapy, Cruise didn't disappoint the thousands of fans who'd turned up to see at the film's premiere.
He arrived by helicopter at La Defense - a high-rise complex in the west of the city - for the red carpet screening and his trademark meet and greet with fans.
Earlier, at the press conference, Cruise's co-star, Michelle Monaghan told journalists what it was like kissing the 43-year-old icon.
She revealed: "Just in general to kiss Tom Cruise is an experience of a lifetime.
"I highly recommend it. I said to Katie, 'I understand why you keep him around'."
Meanwhile Katie Holmes is changing her first name to just Kate.
Tom said:
“Katie is a young girl’s name. Her name is Kate now she’s a child-bearing woman.”
Major FAKE smile in pic #1.
First, again.
Too bad he wasn’t accidently pushed out of the helicopter going past the Eiffel Tower on the way to his premiere.
As long as he’s changing everybody’s name - why doesn’t he just change his to Controlling Ignorant Bastard and get it over with.
Sounds like it’s too late for Katie (woops-Kate) to run away now. I hope I live long enough to see her come to her senses and leave the prick and tell the true story about him and his manipulative ways.
i agree with vtgal. he is frightening. i wonder what “katie couric” thinks of that….......
aw look, they traded jackets.
what a mofo control freak bastard. now he’s changing her name?!!
Tom, changing Katie’s name won’t turn her into a child-bearing woman instead of a prosthetic stomach-wearing woman.
You’re still my best girlfriend, Tom, but I wish you would come out of that closet and play with me. I’ve got some new mascara that would look fabulous on you!
what a fruit!! kate-katie? will they call their kid ‘sur’ instead of suri when she bears children? this guy is beyond absurd.
This is the worst case of self-promotion I have ever seen with a celebrity. Has he totally lost it? Having Katie change her name to just “Kate” because she is a child-bearing woman? (yeah, a child that aint yours) This guy just gives me the creeps! I am definitely not seeing his movie nor will I want to ever see another film project of his ever again
Lmao he’s changing her name!!! he’s gonna change her SS# and whole identity next.
I wonder if she’s gonna snap at her parents when they call her katie when tom’s around.
WHOA! hold on! tom cruise…has a fan? i thought they had become extinct…
I was wondering about the fan thing. Dont they know he is insane, or he plays it really well. I hope KATIE gets out. But I bet she loves spending his millions and living the life. WHo knows… and who cares. Next couple. They are more annoying than BENNIFER
I remember awhile back Tom said something about changing her name to Kate, but I guess it didn’t stick. He must be trying the “Kate” thing again.
I hope she write a tell-all book someday.
Who wants in on the bet that when they get married, she’ll change her name to Vera? Suri Cruise, Vera Cruise, and they’ll adopt a dog they’ll name Singles.
Notice how the fan is hunched to the side, knee bent, and leaning forward so as not to tower over him? Hee. Poor little wee Tom.
The guy really needs some medication. And so does Kate/Katie or whatever the hell she’ll be called next. They’re both nutcases.
THESE 2 DUMB FUCKS BELONG TOGEATHER!! POOR BABY SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IDIOTS HER PARENTS ARE!!!!!
Goodness, I may change his name from Crazy Tom to Crazy Tommy.
Katie becomes Kate? Another way of Tom controlling her every move and decision.
Poor baby Suri- hopefully Katie, Errr. excuse me Kate will wake up from the fog she is in and high-tail it with her Suri out of this crazy situation she is in, if not, I agree with the above posts, they do deserve each other… just feel sorry for the little one, she didn’t ask to be born into such a loony family.
He always wears shoes that give him a lift in the height department. Matt Damon, too. It’s so predictable.
I bet he told the French chick he took a picture with to bend her knees a little so he wouldn’t look so short. Whatta dork!
