Nicole Kidman takes swing at Tom Cruise

May 1st, 2009 // 66 Comments

Nicole Kidman has taken a crack at her marriage with Tom Cruise and even dished out a surprising jab at Katie Holmes. Marie Claire reports:

‘I felt I became a star only by association,’ she complained to Easy Living magazine. ‘We would go to the Oscars and I would think, “I’m here to support him.” I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.’
Meanwhile, Nic calls new husband Keith Urban her ‘greater love’, although it appears her greatest love is reserved for her daughter.
However, the Moulin Rouge actress hasn’t totally lose her sense of humour, speaking about her adopted children, she quips: ‘Bella is very maternal. Connor would like one of us to have a boy. [Pauses.] Katie…? [Laughs].’

Oh, SNAP! The Nicole Kidman burn, ladies and gentlemen. You never know when to expect it because nine times out of 10 in ends with her shattering into a million porcelain pieces while Keith Urban frantically whips out the Super Glue.

No need for make-up when you're dancing: Katie Holmes looks fresh-faced as she prepares for another workout
While some celebrities cannot bear to step out in public without their make-up on, Katie Holmes proves that she can. The 33-year-old star was spotted arriving at a dance class in Hollywood yesterday and didn't dress up for the cameras. Showing off her bare ...
SANDLER'S SISTER ACT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR
Starring: Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, Al Pacino, Elodie Tougne. What's it about? Adam Sandler stars as a Los Angeles advertising guru and his crass twin sister. Verdict: Jack And Jill has little to recommend it besides Pacino's insane commitment to such poor material.

    I’d like to take a swing at Tom Cruise. With a bat. Katie takes a swing at him from time to time with the strap on…

    Man, she just gets gnarlier and gnarlier… Why can’t these assholes age gracefully? Or, you know, accept that they have no upper lip to speak of. Lisa Rinna is hardly a role model, Nicole.

    Why does she always sound like her adopted children are second class or not part of her family? Does Urban not want them around?

    Kidman is not only the worst actress ever but she is full of it. She went into the marriage to get fame by proxy. The only reason people paid attention to her was because of her husband. If she hadn’t married him, her lack of talent would have gotten her nowhere.

    FYI I worked for a magazine where her covers consistently sold the worst of anyone. Also her movies have been tanking for years.

    To those who didn’t get the subtle swing and jab. Here it is.

    The swing at Tom Cruise was the implication that Tom likes for his wives to be arm candy in public supporting him and keeping quiet, but not much more than that. The jab at Katie was when asked about her adopted children she jokingly implied that Katie is young enough to be one of her adopted children.

    Fish, I thought it was funny.

    That wasnt a jab at katie you idiot. you read it wrong. She wants katie to have more kids because she doesnt want to. She isnt calling katie a boy if thats what you’re thinking.

    This news is so OLD!! Why dig up stupid stuff like this?? I don’t see where she swings at TC, even though he deserves it, and no jab at Katie Holmes. She’s the one that probably knows how Nicole felt!! Must be a slow news day to post stale news!!

    Exactly #24. She’s saying her son wants one of his mommies, Nicole or Katie, to have another boy and she’s like “Katie, I’ll throw that one to you, you’re young and I don’t want to have anymore kids”

    FISH POST THE STORY ABOUT KELLY MCGILLIS THE CHICK FROM TOP GUN (AND OBVIOUSLY TOM CRUSING FOR COCK’S COSTAR) COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET AT AGE 51. IT WILL GIVE YOU AND US A CHANCE TO DO ALL KINDS OF “IT’S YOUR TURN NOW TOM” JOKES.

    The jab at Tom Cruise is her suggesting, slyly, that KATIE should have the boy.

    Well, she IS younger, so it just makes sense for Holmes to have another kid. Also, it’s not new that men with big egos (and little, tiny pants) sometimes only want women as arm candy. Preferably younger women who can be easily led along by the nose. It’s not that deep, or that much of a jab.

    The jab is that Tom married a girl young enough to be one of their (nicole and tom’s ) adopted children!
    And the first part of the quote about her being his arm candy is very old.

  38. The Listener | May 1, 2009 at 5:37 pm

    I totally misread the last part. I thought she was implying Katie was young enought to be one of her kids. But I see how she could be asking for Katie to have the next one.

  39. Not Convinced | May 1, 2009 at 5:47 pm

    That was not a jab at Katie. I say that stuff all the time when people ask about kids. I look at my sister-in-law and say her name like…ASK HER!;)

    I think she looks good for her age. Although I do think the lip filler was a bit much. She looked much better with thinner lips.

    I’ve always liked Nicole. Graceful and classically beautiful. Plus she seems like a nice person.

    My dermatologist said that Nicole Kidman is the textbook example of someone who uses way too much botox and her face looks about as natural as plastic wrap as a result of it.

    I don’t see the swing at Tom or jab at Katie in there at all – in her comments about going to the Oscars with Tom and feeling like she should be ‘seen and not heard’ just shows how she was very insecure about her celeb status (which was huge then, too), and that she was overwhelmed by it…and as for the ‘Connor would like one of us to have a boy…Katie?’ just says that you should not expect another baby from the Kidman/Urban crew anytime soon, if ever, and if Connor wants a little brother, he should look to his Dad’s side of the family, because Nicole is done. Something out of nothing…

    I think the bigger issue here is that Nicole is starting to look old. Look at that grandma ear! It’s a shame, cause I always liked her looks.

    You need to do more fact-finding before you regurgitate this nonsense. Marie Claire took some quotes out of context from an interview Nicole gave to Glamour magazine LAST YEAR!

    If I have a dermatologist like yours who would make comments about others based on just looking at photos, I would immediately switch to another doctor. Yours seemed so unprofessional!
