Tom Cruise's son snub

Today 12:01
Tom Cruise

failed to attend his son's first movie premiere.
The actor decided against going to the 'Seven Pounds

' premiere in Los Angeles - which features 13-year-old Connor's big screen debut alongside Tom's close friend Will Smith - in order to continue promoting his own movie 'Valkyrie' in New York, much to the shock of friends.
A source is quoted on website MSNBC as saying: "It comes as such a surprise. When Connor was filming 'Seven Pounds' Tom was so excited and proud of him.

"It's sad Tom didn't fly out for the evening. He could have missed one night of publicity to support Connor and Will."

Meanwhile, Tom has revealed he and wife Katie Holmes have been celebrating her 30th birthday - which is today (18

Last year, Tom showed his support for Will by flying from Los Angeles to New York and back for the premiere of the actor's movie 'I Am Legend'.
Meanwhile, Tom has revealed he and wife Katie Holmes have been celebrating her 30th birthday - which is today (18.12.08) - all week.
He told KIIS-FM host Ryan Seacrest: "I've got some things planned. I've been kind of surprising her throughout the week with things.
"I like romance. You've got to think about these things. You've got to know the right thing and pay attention throughout the year and just know your lady

Tommy Girl has a lot to lose if this movie fails miserably. It's probably in his best interest to promote it nonstop.

He probably had a scheduled photo op with Suri he didn't want to miss.

**Sweetie** · December 18th, 2008, 08:52 AM

How sad for his son.

Wonder if Nicole stepped up to the plate and attended the premiere.

**NicoleWasHere** · December 18th, 2008, 08:58 AM

Nice.

**CherryDarling** · December 18th, 2008, 09:00 AM

That just flat out sucks.

**lisalucy69** · December 18th, 2008, 09:05 AM

No word on whether Nicole showed up her frigid, bony self. But I guess no one would be surprised if she didn't. It doesn't seem like she's very connected to the older kids at all.

**Laurent** · December 18th, 2008, 09:08 AM

Tom and Nicole might as well just flat out say "I love my 'biological' kids more" and be done with it.

**Hummus** · December 18th, 2008, 09:44 AM

Well, if neither parent was there, who did Connor go with?

**NicoleWasHere** · December 18th, 2008, 10:04 AM

I bet Suri was there.

**Let It Be** · December 18th, 2008, 10:07 AM

I read somewhere that Conner and Isabella live with Tiny boy's sister, Cass.

I'm not even sure Nicole has much of a relationship with the children.

**Merlot-N-Bali** · December 18th, 2008, 10:12 AM

Pathetic. Tom should have moved hell and high water to be there.

**WesCAdle** · December 18th, 2008, 10:13 AM

This makes me loathe Tommy even more than I already did. Self promotion over your child's - how caring! The worst part is he sends out news releases whenever Suri leaves a wet fart and she's not his biological child either. I really hope the boy has a long and far more successful career than Tommygirl's.
