If any other mommy and little girl decided to stop for a moment on the street to tie a shoe or pick up a dropped doll, a second look wouldn't be warranted. And then there is Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise.
Scientology's biggest advocate and worst spokesperson, Tom Cruise, is addressing that whole misunderstanding in which he jumped up and down on Oprah's couch like a crazy person. Of course, none of it makes much sense:
There are things that I could have done better. I could have handled things better. I was surprised at the criticism but it brought everyone closer together: Katie's entire family and my family. Going through that stuff is not pleasant and I think it hit an extreme, but Kate's a very sure and confident and strong woman. She gets it, you know.
She gets that you're insane? That's good. And on to daughter Suri, who is constantly paraded in front of the paparazzi like a circus pony:
I don't want her to be afraid of people. I'm not going to live in fear or have her be frightened of people. She's very open and warm with lots of love and understanding. She's happy and fun. She'll just wave to people in the street.
Fair enough, Tom, but remember: It's one thing to raise a child to be friendly, it's another to raise a child to be emotionally unstable. We have a feeling you're teetering on the latter scenario.

THIS IS GOOD FOR THE KIDS • "Suri Cruise is hotter than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids. At least according to Forbes.com's 'Hollywood's 10 Hottest Tots.' Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' 2-year-old daughter topped the second annual list, which ranks celeb kids 5 years old and younger based on media attention and their parents' popularity."

Barbara Walters released the names of some of her Most Fascinating People for 2008. Among the lucky losers are Will Smith (uh, why?), Tom Cruise (again, why?), Miley Cyrus, Tina Fey, Frank Langella, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Phelps. We agree with a few, but overall it looks to be another snoozefest.
After the jump: Mollygood's Most Fascinating People for 2008. Feel free to add to the list. CONTINUED »
Apparently some people are rioting out of concern for Suri Cruise and her lack of a coat in the New York City cold. Sure, it's pretty chilly outside and those little sleeves on her designer dress aren't going to keep the 2-year-old warm, but we'd say this is the least of her worries.
If we're going to complain about the child's need for a heavy jacket, we should also address her need for parents who don't use every trip to Baby Gap as a photo shoot. By this point, Suri surely knows each member of the NYC paparazzi brigade on a first-name basis.

LAWSUIT ACCUSES JUDGES OF TAKING SCIENTOLOGY BRIBES "Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology are the targets of an amended Florida lawsuit that seeks more than a quarter of a billion dollars, FBLA has learned. Ex-Scientologist Peter Letterese, using the RICO statute against the Church of Scientology, originally sought $250,000,000 in a suit filed in July. In the amended suit, filed Oct. 24, he added another $15 million to the total. In court papers obtained by FBLA, Letterese leveled serious charges against Cruise and the Church. He claimed that Cruise and Scientology bribed and improperly influenced a federal judge, a Florida state judge and a federal bankruptcy trustee to tie up his original law suit in bankruptcy court. Letterese's lawyers are really putting a lot on the line, potentially their careers, accusing federal and state judges of taking pay offs,' said Los Angeles private eye Paul Barresi, who had done some work for Cruise in the past."

CRUISE TO HELP ROAST 'GLIB' LAUER "In June 2005, Today Show anchor Matt Lauer took Tom Cruise to task on live TV for the actor's controversial, anti-psychiatry, pro-Scientology beliefs, and in the process created one of the most memorable interviews in the long history of the morning chatfest. And now … the Oscar nominee may be getting his revenge by making a surprise appearance at today's Friars Club roast for the NBC star! While the Friars Club's official line is that Tom isn't scheduled to be part of the Matt-mocking, insiders continue to tell OK! that a super-surprise appearance by Mr. Katie Holmes is indeed in the works, and that it has been planned for weeks."

Of all the rumors in Hollywood, Will Smith's love of men remains one of the most pervasive.
We've been hearing for years that the super star and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, both go for the same-sex. It came as no surprise, then, to hear that Smith, who's been palling around with Tom Cruise and his anti-gay Scientologists, has spent some time with male prostitutes in the past. From the ever-vigilant Ian Halperin:
According to a notorious Hollywood Madame, Smith was a client of hers for years before she packed up shop and moved her operation to Manhattan earlier this year.
TOM CRUISE NOT DEAD IN NEW ZEALAND "Tom Cruise is alive and well, his agent said on Thursday, denying Internet reports that the actor had fallen to his death in New Zealand. This is completely not true. Tom is not in New Zealand nor has he been there recently. This is erroneous and unreliable Internet garbage,' Cruise publicist Jeff Raymond told Reuters. Claims that the star … had plunged to death from the Kauri Cliffs circulated on the Internet on Thursday and were even picked up by traders on the Singapore oil and foreign exchange markets. A similar erroneous report two years ago claimed that actor Tom Hanks had died after falling from the same cliffs."
