Tom Cruise Sends Flowers as a Congratulations for Birth of Sunday Rose
Hollyscoop is reporting that Tom Cruise sent Nicole Kidman flowers as a congratulations on the birth of her and Keith’s new baby, Sunday Rose. And it’s being said that he didn’t just send a couple dozen, but enough to fill her entire room.
The Daily Mirror says, “Tom was one of the first people to get in touch and he sent her enough flowers to fill a room.”
Nicole has received hundreds of bouquets from people congratulating her around the world. How sweet! Did any of you send flowers? :D

That is so nice of Tom. I hope it is accepted as a kind gesture and it is not spun. But that is too much to expect from the media.

The article says “The kids were also included in the gift?” That was kind of Cruise to include them.

Well I hope the kids were able to either be there or give Sunday a gift from just them. Nice gesture from Tom tho

Why would toms PR peeps let this story out? It makes it look as if tc did it so the attention would be on him and not Nicole.
Just like when his peeps went public and said that he offered Brad and Angie the use of his private jet when Shiloh was born. Like anyone would believe that the Pitts don’t have a flock of their own jets to use, why would they need toms?
Tom needs to get some new PR peeps. I am SURE he is not approving these things to be “leaked”.

Puck, Brad and Angie rent out private jets. I am not sure they have any of their own, they are supposed to be big on the environment especially Brad. But he flies to the hospital every day. These celeb types, say one thing, do another. I agree the story was false Tom Cruise has never been close to Brad Pitt. Worked with him a couple of times but they are too different. Even the rumours that Brad and Angie attended his wedding were completely false.
BTW this gift story was already out, Tom’s people just confirmed it.
It is a kind gesture.

And Tom didn’t have a problem that his PR leaked it? And, how did his press agent know exactly what was in the basket? Did the store leak it? No, couldn’t be, because I didn’t see an article threatening to sue the store. Hmmm.
Mary
Jul 11, 2008 at 4:17 pm
It says a basket was sent.
No mention of what store or where the basket was sent from.
According to the People story it contain a giraffe blanket, Hermes baby items and other items, not described.

I don’t see Tom as a bad guy–surprised Lauren?? He has been known to be generous in the past. Flowers would just be a nice gesture. And it’s Hollywood. The place full of air kisses and all kinds of acting both in front of and away from the cameras. Parties you must be seen at, people you need to schmooze, ect. Didn’t Nicole send them a gift for their wedding and for Suri’s arrival??

Do you believe this story “Katie Holmes sanitizes playground before Suri can play” . Because I think I do. I think she is the kind of mother that is very concerned over her child’s cleanness. The story is at celebitchy.com.
Mary
Jul 11, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Why did it have to be a leaked story from Tom’s side?
People magazine could’ve asked Kidman’s reps and received the answer from them.

Just read the stories on People (which almost always comes from one publicist or another and are either true, or what the celebs want you to believe is true) and I am very concerned that there is no mention of either of her first two children being in Nashville, and that Tom apparently sent her a gift basket on behalf of himself, Katie and those kids. That is seriously strange and like I said the other day, either Nicole has chosen to disconnect from her older two kids, or Tom/ Scientology have got in the way because there is no excuse for those kids not being there to welcome their sister into the world.
Annie
Jul 12, 2008 at 12:52 am
Tyler, truly , do you believe that tc does’nt allow conner and bella to see their mother, maybe bella was with her mum on the 4th july and thats why she was’nt there, conner seems close to tc, maybe he does’nt like ku , i don’t know, but i do know that a father cannot keep his children away from their mother , that is the law, if nk wants to see her kids she has the law on her side, Tyler we go over and over the same thing, and please don’t tell me those kids are brainwashed either…..all nk has to do ,is send someone from nashville to pick up her kids, and bring them to her, to meet their little sister, thats allshe had to do, and maybe thats what she did , we don’t know.
Annie

quite frankly , i don’t like her press statement she gave to people mag, it came out like sunday is her only child
Susan
Jul 12, 2008 at 2:59 am
I know we are kind of finished with the name discussion - but I wanted to say in defence of Tom and Katie that the sound of a name is the most important thing, not what it supposedly means. I think my name means swan or something in a language I don’t speak, and that really means nothing to me. It is just the sort of stuff they put in baby name books to fill up the pages. And for Nicole and Keith - when I named my son it was a name I came across long before he was born (a bit like Nicole’s dad came across Sunday) and I liked it, without needing to know everything about the person I met who had that name and whether I approved of him. The quote Nicole read by Sunday Reed was one celebrating the positive virtue simply of being born, but I suspect they mainly just liked the name, rather than were completely endorsing Sunday Reed’s lifestyle. If her name had been Doris, even the quote probably wouldn’t have swung them. So while I am a gossip hound, and I do like to pick over these people’s life choices, I really don’t think what they name their children is where it is at. How they treat them is something I am more interested in.
Annie
Jul 12, 2008 at 3:54 am
Tyler, you know that tc is’nt the only one with a plane nk owns one too, but maybe,just maybe, if she made an attempt to find a house closer to her kids ,she could have had the baby in LA, and her children can can be close to their little sister, not only for now ,but for the future as well, she’scoming to australia in the next few weeks. Sometimes my feelings can go up and down regarding tc, but acouple of years ago he gave an interview inGQ MAG , it was obvious the journalist was more interested in the unborn suri but he talked at length about conner and bella when they were babies, and whatever he said was really nice , and i could’nt help thinking how much he loved them.

Jul 12, 2008 at 7:31 am
Some of you are making more of this than you should. Tom had to send her a gift( because if he didnt that would be the issue), and when sending it added their kids, because they are kids….I am sure the filling of the room is somewhat of an exaggeration.
And I know it has been talked to death, but I am so not getting the name Sunday. So bizarre. But then again I am not a fan of NK or KU, so I am not objective.
Tyler
Jul 12, 2008 at 11:38 am
Annie, don’t know if it’s true, but there are a # of articles on the Net saying Nicole and Keith just closed a deal on the purchase of a home in Bevery Hills. Hope it’s true.
Tyler
Jul 12, 2008 at 11:41 am
And, Susan, thanks for being rational. You’re right, there’s NO excuse for those kids not being there. If they weren’t, there are serious issues in Tom’s household.

……………
This is not true, tom took the kids to colorado during this time. So even IF Keith and Nicole had a home in LA, and she gave birth there the older children were NOT in LA at the time of the birth. And if tc was able to take them from LA to Co during that time frame, then he could of taken them back to their mothers for the birth of their sister. IF he were man enough that is.
Mary
Jul 13, 2008 at 6:14 am
We don’t know if one or both kids were in TN for the birth of their sister……………….Sunday was born on July 7th.
From what was reported NK/KU were saying mid to late July for the birth.
NK also has a private jet at her disposal and she could have used it to have the kids come to her. It’s not just a one way street here.
Anne
Jul 13, 2008 at 7:41 am
If the shoe was put on the other foot, and it is Nicole who had the kids most of the time and Tom who did not have a house in LA, Tom would have been blamed for ignoring his kids.
From where am standing, Nicole is not the best mother in the world. We can make excuses for her but she seems disconnected from every one especially her kids. If my boyfriend denied me access to my boys, I would move heaven and earth to get it. She seems content with the status quo and with people complaining on her behalf. I certainly hope she is a better mother to Sunday Rose.
Tyler
Jul 13, 2008 at 10:08 am
If rumor is true, NK and Keith bought a house in Beverly Hills. That’ll throw a wrench into TC’s master plan. I hope Bella, at least, goes to live with her mom.
concerned mom
Jul 13, 2008 at 6:52 pm
again I am NOT a NK fan, but as much as she adores her neices and nephews and early pictures of her with her own children are adoring as well, I don’t think she is in control of the time she gets with her children. Tom calls the shots. Poor katie because now we are starting to see ’stories’ of her wanting a career instead of Suri, Tom holding Suri wherever they go now-it is simply history repeating itself in a very ugly way. Too bad that with the internet and all the bloggers out here, Tom won’t get away with the poor me-Katie is a rotten mom stuff again. The internet is truly a BEAUTIFUL thing. Except for maybe here and a couple of true blue fan sites, no one is going to forget all the nutty stuff mr tom has said and done the last few years. If he and Katie make it, color me surprised…but should he try to paint her as the career-hungry, leave the kid in the dust mom like he did NK???Well there is ALWAYS going to be youtube or some other venue or blog that will be sure to keep on keeping all the stories straight from all sides.

Jul 13, 2008 at 7:50 pm
You say Katie wants a career instead of Suri, I hear Tom says “no”, he wants more children and KH will suffer if she pursues her career. Can’t KH have her family & her career too, so many women do? I don’t see why it’s either - or. Doesn’t TC have his career & his family?

PuckHappy,be honest and say that you don’t like tc, you don’t like anything about him, and that’s ok, but be honest, don’t try to make NK out, that she is just an average mother, with limited resources, fighting an ex husband, and the system, to get more time with her children. i have seen my niece go through hell for the past 6yrs with lawyers and courts with her ex concerning their young son, she never stops fighting for more timewith him. im not saying that nk is a bad mother, Connor and Bella just don’t seem to be her priority, maybe this baby will.
Hana
Jul 14, 2008 at 2:54 am
Tyler: Hasn’t the rumors about NK buying a house in LA been denied by non other than NK’s reps??
I think Bella was probably with her mother, where as Connor stayed to celebrate his father’s b-day.
Tyler: I disagree with you, if the kids weren’t with NK, then there is serious issues with NK herself. I hope she’ll be a better mother to Sunday than she is to her older kids (this is just based on what we know from gossip/news and nothing more).
Another thing NK is expected to be in London to start filming the film Nine just a couple of weeks after giving birth, and that should tell people where her priories are….not saying mothers shouldn’t work but this mother who is a multi-millionaire and who has said more than once that she wanted a child of her own since she was 17….and is yearning to have one, but will be off filming a few day after giving birth? I hope this is not true.

Jul 14, 2008 at 5:28 am
There is no report even from those who can’t stand the very mention/sight of the name Tom Cruise that he is anything but a great father.
Tom has never in the seven years since his and NK’s divorce talked about that divorce or said a bad word about NK as a mother.
NK has said that TC was lovely to her. She has also said that he was also a very attentive caregiver.
No one has to make excuses for NK, she continually makes them for herself.
Her kids with TC were eight and six when she and TC got divorced. While she was busy in the seven years( from 2001 and into 2008) since that divorce telling the world how bereft, how crushed, how the rug was pulled out from under her, how she couldn’t get out of bed, how she spent days in her pyjamas, how she couldn’t take the kids to school, how nothing mattered or in other words milking the divorce from TC for all it was worth, she should have fought for her kids.
What judge awards children that young to the father and don’t tell me that it is anything to do with TC being powerful………… That is rubbish.
If NK felt the custody agreement was unfair and the kids were better off with her than she should have fought for them! She has had seven years to do so!
She is a woman of means as well……………. If it meant moving heaven and earth for her kids then she should have done it.
I’ll love to believe that NK and Keith will have a home in LA and be closer to NK’s older children but I’ll believe it when I see pics of them in it/near it/ around it and it’s confirmed. Until then it’s pure rumor.
NK’s inconsistent and contradictory statements over the years leads me to an attitude of I’ll believe it when I see it or as I said before, when it’s less of a rumor and becomes a confirmed fact.
NK said when speaking of her older kids……
“I ask them to travel the world and be close to my side.”
That asking can work both ways, she can travel to see them as well.

I cant say the’ll be together forever or for the next 30 years because I cannot picture Tom Cruise in my head as an old wrinkly guy!! I think he’ll look like Robert Redford but with skin like Cliff Richard!! when he’s an old man. Can’t picture it with him. He’s still soooo “young at heart” its hard for me to imagine him growing old

The media are playing the whole enemies thing with Tom and Nic. I am begining to think its actually far from the truth. I think they respect each other VERY much and also they would have to still care about each other in some way. Like….mutual respect.

15 years??? REALLY?? In today’s Hollywood?? Where some marriages don’t last 15 minutes??? I would love to see the Vegas odds on it.. I want what I have wanted from the beginning of this circus.. Katie and Suri OUT. She fell in love with sort of an idea–the ‘greatest movie star in the world’ but the reality of his life in recent years is something totally different.
But re NK, like I said before I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he did send her a ‘roomful’ of flowers. Or just the gift basket that Katie picked out is a nice gesture. As an ex, he certainly isn’t required to give anything and there will be those who question his motives no matter what he does.. A nicer gift might have been having her other 2 children with her for a bit during this happy occasion.

Jennifer from Australia,
Welcome back to the site. We missed you around here. I still remember you from back then.
I too cannot imagine Tom old and wrinkly. He is so full of life. I have never seen him down and out. Never.
I have always said it, this couple will last the mile. There is something about them that tells me they will make it. They are both strong people who are so giving. In most relationships, one is a giver, the other a taker. Both Katie and Tom are givers. Both have huge hearts and there is no doubt that they make each other happy and fulfil each other.
Many did not give this relationship a chance. I have always been firmly in their corner and not even statistics will derail me. All these attacks make them stronger. If they had a smooth sailing, with no media attacks, then I would not give them much chance but the scepticism and doubt makes people cherish what they have and strengthens a relationship.

Jul 14, 2008 at 11:46 am
Amen to that PH.. I have never used any of those words and my opinions have been clear from the beginning here. I think Katie fell in love with an ‘image’ and I don’t believe anyone does romance better than Tom probably can. He didn’t become the Hollywood power player and actor he used to be without some terrific acting skills. He literally swept her off of her feet. Everything happened so fast–I don’t believe in love at first sight. Relationships of value take time and work. She had no time to catch her breath and THINK before baby came into the picture and we are seeing the rest of the story.. She is a very smart young woman and I think she is in the waking up stage now. If they go another 2 years- I will be surprised but not terribly as there is also the church who has audited her to death and is probably holding stuff over her head too. If she can get away long enough to take a hard look at reality not dream world Tom, they will be done.

ITA, C-mom. They might last longer, in word only though.
So Nicole is a horrible mother for honoring a work contract by returning to work and taking her baby with her.
But katie can just fly the coupe to have a fun two weeks at a fashion show not giving a second thought about her tiny new baby that she left home alone.
concerned mom

Yes, they might. But I sure as heck don’t give it 15 years. And the ‘church’ isn’t something you can just walk away from like most churches.
PuckHappy
Jul 14, 2008 at 12:48 pm
In no way do I give it 15 years. I just say that they have to be a “married” couple at very the least 15 years, before I say it has lasted and they have “made it”.
And I want to be told I have to eat crow in 16 years from now.
I don’t like to see ANY couple break up. UNLESS, one of them is abusive. THEN I want the victim OUT!
Many say they have already “made it”. To some they are already a success story.
I do NOT agree, being a couple for 3 years is NOT YET a success. Especially with tom.
He was with the TRUE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, Nicole Kidman for over ten years.
Then he was with the last TRUE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, Pennelope Cruz for four years.
Both of those were longer then the relationship that he is in now. SO, this relationship is not YET a success.
