Apparently, Tom Cruise's kids from his previous marriage like Katie Holmes better than their own mother, Nicole Kidman. Us Magazine reports:
Holmes, the star of Mad Money, 29, has been moving more and more into the role of mother to stepchildren Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13. "They call me Mom," she tells Parade. As Us Weekly reports in its new issue on newsstands now, this coincides with 40-year-old Kidman's confession on a British TV show that her two kids with Tom Cruise no longer "call me Mummy." "It's Mum or sometimes Nicole. I'm like, 'Hey!'" she said. (Kidman's rep tells Us she was only "joking around.") "Isabella especially took to [Katie] right away," a source close to the family tells Us."
Tom and Katie are also imposing their religious views upon the kids. Us further reports; Adding to the tension is the fact that Cruise is raising his children as Scientologists, something the Catholic-raised Kidman is "not cool with," an insider tells Us."
So, if it's not already bad enough that Katie is perceived as the cooler of the two moms, the kids are saying "no thanks" to Christianity and being all pro-Scientologist. See, that's what happens when little men go on power-trips. They want control, even if it means ruining the lives of their own children and their ex-wives and forcefully brainwashing their current wives, it's simply a fact that little men like Tom Cruise feel the desperate need to compensate! Regardless of who they take down for their own benefit! Plus, it's really just a practical thing with tiny men like that too... they need to pull people down and step all over them... you know, so that they can finally get up to eye-level with normal-sized humans and be taken seriously! ZING!
Oh and since Katie is winning the stepmother vs. real-mother battle, I thought I'd throw a few pics of her up here. So, here's Katie looking older than usual but still kind of hot while she was out in West Hollywood just the other day:
