Katie Holmes Upsets Nicole Kidman

Earlier this month Nicole Kidman told a UK TV station that her adopted children with ex husband Tom Cruise don't call her 'Mom,' which really upsets the actress.

Kidman confessed, "My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."

Tom's new wifey Katie Holmes sat down with Parade magazine this month to gush about being a mother and a wife. She told the magazine that Tom and Nicole's adopted children call her 'Mom' all the time. Talk about hitting below the belt!

Holmes says, "His children are incredible, really smart and kind. They call me 'Mom'."

In Katie's defense, do you really blame the kids for calling her Mom? When was the last time Nicole was seen with her children? She said she was 'looking' for a place in LA so she can spend more time with them, but we've yet to see that happen too. Apparently Nicole wasn't happy with the fact that Tom is raising his children as Scientologists.

Oh poor Nicole. Maybe if she were more concerned about her kids instead of going from movie to movie, she would have a better relationship with her kids. She's allowing them to be raised by Cruise while she goes off around the world filming movies. Hell, she just finished filming a movie for 9 months in Australia and next she's off to Germany for another movie! This woman shouldn't have kids and she sure as hell shouldn't have bothered getting remarried.

There's more to all of this than just Nicole not being concerned about her kids. Tom is a control freak...he does not want them around her new hubby, nor does he like the fact that she wanted them not raised as Scientologists. Tommy-boy calls the shots it's as simple as that. Why the little twerp has so much power over people is anyone's guess.Looking at the above photo, except for the fact that Nicole is so pale, she and Katie have the same kind of smiles, not too convincing of being very happy.

I can't believe how this is being misreported. I heard the interview - Nicole said "they don't call me Mommy, they call me Mom." She specifically said they call her MOM. Then she said sometimes they call her Nicole (as teens sometimes call their parents by their first names to annoy them LOL) and she says "HEY!" when they do that, like she's saying "don't call me that!" I can't believe how WRONG everyone is getting this story and naturally it's all over the internet and people believe it. I heard the interview - they call her Mom.

why does katie always look 15 + years older than nicole?

Posted by: joji on 12/19/2007 05:49 PM

Who is the idiot that put that awful picture of Nicole on here and a flattering one on of Katie? Truth is,Nicole is the better looking of the two, anyway reguarding Nicole's kids, if they dont have enough respect to call her Mom, I'd forget them and have some kids with Keith, who I know will teach them to respect their mother.

Posted by: emma on 12/19/2007 06:07 PM

and just because we don't see Nicole parading her kids around especially in front of the media don't mean that she is not with them or don't see them. People should stop judging when they don't know anything about these people

Katie needs to stop thinking about Tom's "first two children" and start worrying about her one and only kid's Tourette's Syndrome! Suri has her hands clenched into fists 99% of the time. THAT IS WHY she is seen carrying a bottle during most public outings. Parading her infront of the paparazzi only stresses her out and worsens Suri's condition. Katie as mother of the year? I think not "Mom."

Nicole can't be bothered to even own a house in the same city where her children live, why should they call her mom? You mothers out there, if you had the kind of money Nicole has wouldn't you be living in a house in the city where your kids live with their dad? I would. If they don't want to go back and forth between Los Angeles and Sydney/Nashville(although Keith and Nicole haven't lived in Nashville in over a year) then why doesn't Nicole live near her kids when she is not filming? (although she seems to be filming non-stop, so I guess she expects them to fly to see her just as her husband does). But she doesn't think it is important to live near her kids, yes she says she may buy a house there, but it doesn't seem to be a priority. Oh yes, some of you will always make excuses for Nicole, but people don't believe you, you are the same people who think she looked beautiful in her tin man outfit last weekend.

If my kids did that I would be pissed to. Katie is not their mom Nicole is and Katie and Tom should not encourage such behavior. They should respect Nicole and her wishes and the same in return. Since Katie hooked up with Tom Cruise she's became a stuck up snob and I not surprised because so is Tom.

Yup this is such a false report. I saw the interview. Nic's kids calls her 'Mom', but sometimes calls her 'Nicole'. Just deliberately twisting her words really, pathetic.

Tom is going to dump Katie just like he dumped Mimi and Nicole. When she gets too old for his tastes he is going to recast the leading lady role. Isn't that how he met Katie, by having starlets flown in to interview for the love of his life position. Some men just don't want their women growing up and thinking for themselves. Why would he, then he couldn't brainwash them into becoming a scientologists.

When i read an exsurb from the parade magazine, i cought that bitchy comment right away. Obviously katie is extremely insecure to stoop that low. I dont think that nicole is a bad mom or an absent mom for that matter because i feel she doesnt have a choice. Face it, her kids are way beyond brianwashed from tom and the looney scientology cult. They are in a cult and thats that. Nicoles adopted kids can suck it.

Regardless of who has custody of the kids, for Katie to say something so insensitive and cruel is totally tactless and beyond mean. I know people who have worked with Nicole and she sees her kids a lot more than the media portrays. She guards their privacy fiercely and unlike Tom and Katie (i.e. the soccer games etc) she does not use them to pimp for her fame. The kids are spending Christmas with her and her family in Australia. She sounds over the moon about it. Keith has also said that her kids are wonderful and loving them has given him a whole new dimension on what love really means. You don't love someone you see once or twice a year. He obviously has spent time with them. All of you criticizing Nicole for not having primary custody--why don't you pick on the Hollywood dads that rarely see their kids?

Katie shouldn't have said anything, it only shows her immaturity. As for those saying "Nicole lives here and does this but doesn't see her kids" - do you know what a 'cult' is? Hell, the first time the kids went to a church was in Sydney at Easter a few years ago with Nicole - just after the divorce. She wanted them to see other religions (Catholicism) at work and then we don't see her with the kids for ages after that. Apparently Tom spat the dummy and denied her access. Tom goes overseas a lot too and he leaves the kids with his Scientologist buddies. Oh and as for Nicole being in Australia for 9 months, she was filming a movie and 'giving back' to the Australian film industry, which gave her her first break with 'BMX Bandits' etc.

The story is misinterpreted they do call her mom and Tom and Katie make a lovely couple...

Posted by: feefee on 12/20/2007 01:36 PM

Kidman sold the LA mansion she got from the divorce, while Tom went renting that they can share the kids easily. The freaKidman sold the house and went to live in their Sydney house. Far from them She got lots of money from Tom in exchange of full custody for Tom. he's a loving and doting dad, not her, she never was. He was at home upbringing the kids for ten years while she spent her time travelling around the world shooting movies. She never cared for her family. I understand Tom need a loving wife, not a selfish narcissic actress (17 movies in the 2000years! Tom? 6...) Oh, the so call"casting girlfriend" for Tom is a lie from tabloid Radar magazine, everyone know now how it was fabricated from the movie roles casting for MI:III and The Eye. Alba got The Eye role, And when Carnahan bailed out of MI:III Johansson, C Ann Moss and Branaght were out also. Think !

Nicole is a very private person she has enough sense to keep her personal life away from her work. Unlike "tomkat" *rolls eyes* who take every little opportunity to get attention like the little attention whores that they are. They should become friends with the spears family they will fit right in with each other. They both used their children as a way to get media attention. I mean take a look at things no one really ever talks about tom's films just his marriage with kate and his kids. Where as everyone talks about Nicole's films because she takes a stand and says my personal life is my business. That woman has class unlike tom and kate maybe they believe they do but hey those 2 are so fu*ked up in the head so they would think anything they do is right lol.

Posted by: Lisa on 12/21/2007 10:01 PM

I hope Tom dumps Katie. They are the HOUSE OF NO SOUL Tom and Katie. Nicole, just be happy that the town that TomKat married in doesn't like them. TomKat is ungrateful, TomKat has no sense of guilt, and TomKat is no where near as hot and sensual as you. You rock Nicole. Your kids will realize this someday, that Ms. Katie is just another female. Wait until she starts getting old and ugly. She is not even 30 and she looks about 40. And she was a whiney boring idiot on Dawsons Creek. AAAAAAAAAAHHH.

When nicole was married to tom she was his little puppet much like how katie is now. She didn't look how she does now she was always quiet he said EVERYTHING in a interview and on the red carpet she was always standing behind him in the back ground while tom lapped up all the attention and limelight. Nicole was not going around making films and getting paid very well to do it. She went everywhere tom did. She become a high paid actress after tom lefted her she picked herself up and worked her ass off and proved she didn't need him. Everyone saids tom held nicole down while they were married because he knew how good of a actress she is.

Posted by: Lisa on 12/21/2007 10:20 PM

Katie is such a tool and puppet. She'd do and say anything to let the media know how sooo "wonderful" her life with tom is. so mindless and controlled...

Posted by: carter on 12/22/2007 08:23 PM

Katie always looks like she needs looking after, maybe that's what attracted Tom in the first place? He is such an idiot though I can't believe she can't ssee that... plus all this Scientology crap I really fear for Katie's future. Nicole deserves respect she's worked so hard to become the actress she is today, people should stop having a go at her.

Posted by: KatieKid on 12/30/2007 01:05 PM

i think katie is so cruel i feel very sorry for nicole and i also think tom should dump katie big time

Posted by: salina on 02/02/2008 06:59 AM

i like and adore nicole Kidman. There is a class about her that Katie cannot even carry. As to the comments mom and the children will know better. If i was katie i would try to urge the children to speak to their mom than delighting in being called mom. They are after all her children. If the children cannot respect that then it is a sad day for all adopted parents

Posted by: micheliky on 02/27/2008 05:07 AM

WOW, Katie is look so young, classy and beautiful. nicole look fake and old. oh well, the damaged done by nicole. she not even talk nice thing about her children. tom cruise is not controlling anybody. nicole is drama queen. no wonder the children call katie holmes mom she deserve it as she giving her time, her love and cares. a mother cant be replace, but the mother love does!
