Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes are fighting over Kidman’s kids

[Sweetie]

Really! Very well said, Fab. She could at least go and cheer her kids on at one game. It's sad that their own mother is never there to watch them. I think she's a self centered woman that doesn't think about what her kids need first.

I've read that they live in Nashville and visit Australia. I'm not an expert either, so I could be wrong. I think it is odd that she isn't based in L.A. If they were my kids I would want to be near them. But the way she tends to talk about wanting a "biological" child makes me think maybe she wasn't as into adopting as Tom was. I'm not saying she doesn't care for her kids, but....

Conor is currently over here with his mother on location while she films the movie "Australia". He came over after Isabella left.

The dye in her daughters hair looks like that temporary fudge that washes out after a short time. My daughter has had it in her hair - no big deal. Isabella is a teenager - most teens like to have a say in how their hair looks.

I think people don't see Nicole with her kids, as much as they see them with Tom, because she keeps things a bit more private. If she was out spruiking her kids to the media she'd be the worst in the world.

I'm with you.
Most of these stories are bullshit anyway, just like toms sexuality.

She owns a house over looking Sydney Harbour, close to her family. Keith Urban's family is from Caboolture in Queensland I believe.

They don't live in Oz but come over every now & again to see their families.

At the moment they're in Queensland while she films a movie. Mostly I think they're based in Nashville - where he owns a home.

Thank you! This is what I keep saying.

People make Tom out to be the great parent because he's photographed 30 million times sucking Katie's face off at soccer games - soccer games that he's informed the paps of in advance. Why not go to the darn games and keep them just a private family thing?

We also don't know how much Tom is with them the rest of the time. Just because they live in his house doesn't automatically mean he's a devoted 24/7 parent. And the same can be said for a LOT of parents who live with their children ... I happen to know a few.

I think implying that someone is a bad parent or doesn't love their children because they live far away is terrible, especially when we don't know squat about the situation. By the end of next week, my son will be living far away in another province with his father and I have no idea when I am going to see him again. I am not a bad mother and I love him very much.

Nicole should be commended for keeping her relationship with her children a private matter.

I TOTALLY agree with you, Aabbcc. I personally think that Nicole did/does not have much say in the custody arrangement with Tom. Tom is one of the top-level $cientologists, a horrible evil HIGHLY-CONTROLLING cult, and what powerful $cientologists want, they get, unfortunately. I don't think poor Nicole had much power over Tom ("poster-boy" for the Evil Cult), and its band of powerful fellow cult-members. I believe he "strong-armed" his way into getting primary custody of the kids, probably through dirty tactics, so that they will be raised as $cientologists. Remember, $cientologists are NOT supposed to & do NOT associate with non-$cientologists (such as the Catholic Nicole)--They are supposed to CUT ALL TIES with ALL non-$cientologists. Poor non-cult-member Nicole is lucky she gets to see her kids at all, as i am sure it is VERY HARD standing up to, and getting anywhere, with reasoning with cult-crazy Tom Cruise. IMO, i bet she sees her kids as often as she can, and relishes every moment with them--OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE, as you stated Aabbcc, UNLIKE that publicity-whore TomThumb who, IMO, uses his every outing with his kids as a photo-opportunity with Robo-Bride, so as to appear to be *the perfect family*.(--PUH-LEASE)

do you think that he just swallows the vomit when the nausea overcomes Katie .. yeah, I bet he's a swallower..

[Picara]

I don't know, but if I had a job that allowed me to live anywhere in the world, I would live in the same city as my children. But that's just me.

Hahahaa. On second thought, maybe Nicole has the right idea.

[Mel1973]

I don't think where Nicole lives has jack shit to do with her kids .. it's all about the mighty midget...

[VenusInFauxFurs]

The what to do with the adopted kiddos post-divorce was all probably pre-arranged back when she signed her "marriage" contract.
