Katie Holmes Forbids Suri Cruise From Wearing Designer Clothes

  Suri is everyone’s favorite fashionista, but the 6-year-old is about to get a huge culture shock! Mom Katie doesn’t want her daughter receiving freebies and wearing designer duds anymore! Read the shocking details.

  Suri Cruise has been known to rock some of the latest styles and beauty trends — and she’s only six years old! However, all of that is about to change now that Suri is living in New York with her mom, Katie Holmes, and attending private school.

  Apparently, Katie doesn’t want her daughter to sport the high heels, pricey clothes, and lipstick that he is often spotted wearing.

  “Katie has been returning unsolicited gifts and loans from designers for Suri since she arrived in New York,” a source told Reveal magazine.

  “She’s issued instructions to remove Suri from all freebie lists. She’s also put the word out in LA to stop any mini-me diva products being sent her way.”

  Even more, the source claims that Suri’s glamorous lifestyle was all Tom Cruise‘s idea, and Katie just wants her daughter to have a normal childhood.

  “Tom loved to spoil Suri and indulge her, but Katie has other ideas,” the source explained.

  It seems this new life in New York will be much different for Suri than before!

Tom Cruise Plans To See Suri This Weekend

  With his divorce from Katie just settled, Tom is focused on spending time with Suri.

  There has been much speculation surrounding the custody arrangement in Tom Cruise‘s divorce from Katie Holmes, with most reports indicating that Katie has been granted primary custody over their six-year-old daughter, Suri. While that may be true, a new report says that Tom is planning to see Suri very soon.

  According to E! News, a source close to Tom says that the 50-year-old actor hopes to see his daughter as soon as he’s finished shooting in Mammoth Lakes, California, which could be as soon as this weekend.

  “As soon as he is done shooting he will arrange to see Suri. If he wasn’t shooting up in the mountains, I am sure he already would be with her,” the source says.

  The source also provided information regarding the custody arrangement, saying that Tom and Katie’s plan for visitation is “flexible” and “all set out” in the agreement. The source acknowledged that Katie, 33, has primary physical custody of Suri, but that “[Tom's] plan is to see Suri very, very often. He loves her dearly and is a normal parent.”

  What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are YOU surprised that Tom will be able to see Suri so soon?

Tom Cruise gets a smiley set visit from Connor

Tom Cruise


  Tom Cruise was back on the set of Oblivion in Mammoth Lakes, CA, yesterday. He's been hard at work on the film since settling his divorce from Katie Holmes this Monday. It looks like he's been in good spirits despite the family drama and was even seen smiling and laughing with colleagues in recent days. 

  Tom got another boost during production when his son, Connor, stopped by to visit him between takes. Katie Holmes, meanwhile, has had her mom, Kathleen, and Suri by her side on the East Coast. Katie, Kathleen, and Suri stopped by the Central Park Zoo just yesterday and were likewise looking happy as they checked out the animals.

Suri to live primarily with Katie Holmes, according to divorce settlement with Tom Cruise



  Although Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes agreed to keep the details of their divorce settlement under wraps, details have started to emerge. The most important one: the battle over their 6-year-old daughter Suri, of whom the actress requested sole custody in her June 29 filing. According to People magazine, both Cruise and Holmes agreed that Suri “should live primarily with her mother in New York City with generous visitation by her father.” Adds a source, “They both love their daughter and Tom thinks she should be with her mother … Neither one of them wanted this to be hashed out in public."


  Ever since Holmes, 33, surprised Cruise with divorce papers just days before his 50th birthday, Suri has been spotted with her mother all over Manhattan. The two, who moved out of the “Rock of Ages” star’s East Village home and now live in a new three-bedroom apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood, have visited museums, grabbed lunch with friends, and gone out for ice cream together. Although Suri has not seen her father since he’s been filming in Iceland, she does reportedly talk to him on the phone every day. People also reports that she will be enrolled in a private school in the city come this fall.

  Although she won the war for Suri, Holmes did not get much in the money battle with Cruise, according to the LA Times. The former “Dawson’s Creek” actress will not get “any significant money or property” due to their prenup, a source tells the newspaper. Holmes, the source adds, “was never after money but wanted to protect her daughter.”

  Earlier on Monday, there were reports that Holmes wanted to banish Scientology from Suri’s life and also wanted a nanny of her choosing to accompany Suri at all times during visits with her father, but her lawyer warns that you shouldn’t believe everything you read. "There are numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents of the agreement reached between the parties," Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement. "The agreement is confidential and its terms will not be disclosed."

Why Tom Cruise insisted on calling Katie Holmes "Kate"

  Katie Holmes has not only reclaimed her life now that she's filed for divorce from Tom Cruise – she's also taking back her name. Ever since the two first got together in 2005, the “Mission Impossible” star has insisted on referring to his wife as "Kate," even though neither her friends nor her family has ever called her that. And it clearly was a name Holmes herself did not identify with because she never went by it professionally, despite her husband's consistent use of it every time he mentioned her publicly. In fact, in her statement announcing the split, Holmes' lawyer said, “This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family." Cruise's response? "Kate has filed for divorce."



  It first began in April 2006, when Holmes, now 33, was still pregnant with Suri, but not yet married to Cruise. During an interview with All Headline News, he explained, "Katie is a young girl’s name. Her name is Kate now – she’s a child-bearing woman." At the time, it was also reported that Holmes had agreed upon the name change "after discussing it with Tom" and as a result “all friends and family now call her Kate.”

  The only person to publicly call the former "Dawson’s Creek" star the name that Cruise, 50, preferred was his longtime friend Brooke Shields, who was invited to the couple’s lavish wedding in a move that seemed like an attempt to extend an olive branch. Remember when Cruise called her out for "drug use after she admitted she used anti-depressants to battle postpartum depression following the birth of her first daughter? (He said she should have simply taken vitamins). “Kate called me herself to invite us to the wedding," Shields said at the time. “It would have felt like a slap to say no."

  As much as Cruise pushed “Kate,” it just didn’t stick, not just in her personal life, but her professional one as well. On every movie poster for the films she has made since getting together with Cruise, she has been billed as “Katie Holmes.” The same goes for all the covers of the fashion magazines she has graced: They, too, spell out "Katie Holmes."

  By filing for divorce, Katie is also shedding another unwanted name: Mrs. Tom Cruise.
