Home Alone turns 35 this year. This is one of the first movies that I can remember seeing in theaters when I was six years old, and now I watch it with my kids every year. Sometimes, we even watch both the first and second movies multiple times because we all love them so much. There are now six films in the franchise, but only the first two are centered around Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O?Hara, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern. We?ve watched all of them, but we don?t f-ck with the non-Kevin McCallister ones because the magic just simply isn?t there.
Last year, Macaulay began a holiday season tour called ?A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin,? where he screens Home Alone and does a Q&A. At one event last year, he confirmed that Joe Pesci accidentally bit his finger during a rehearsal, and that left a scar. This year?s tour has brought even more juicy news. At a stop this past weekend in Long Beach, CA, Macaulay revealed that he?s finally down to play Kevin McC again, but there would have to be specific ?conditions.? He even shared his own idea for a plot: This time, he?s in the Marv/Harry position while his own fictional child is setting the booby traps.
?I wouldn?t be completely allergic to it,? the 45-year-old star of the 1990 holiday classic said at his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin tour on Sunday, Nov. 22. The event, held at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center in Long Beach, Calif., celebrated the 35th anniversary of Home Alone.
?It would have to be just right,? Culkin said of a follow-up to the 1990 comedy and its 1992 sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, in which he starred as abandoned youngster Kevin McCallister. (Third and fourth installments and a 2021 Disney+ reboot have followed, all with different casts.)
?I kind of had this idea,? he revealed, explaining how Kevin?s story might continue decades later. ?I?m either a widower or a divorcee. I?m raising a kid and all that stuff. Im working really hard and Im not really paying enough attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me and then I get locked out.?
Kevin?s son, he continued, ?wont let me in.? Instead of robbers like Joe Pescis Harry and Daniel Sterns Marv, ?he?s the one setting traps for me.?
Furthermore, ?the house is some sort of metaphor for our relationship,? added Culkin, a ??get let back into his heart? kind of deal. Thats the closest elevator pitch that I have. I?m not completely allergic to it, the right thing.?
Also at A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin, the actor discussed legally changing his middle name for a comedic bit and how his two sons, who he shares with fiance Brenda Song, don?t recognize him when they watch Home Alone. ?They have no idea that I?m Kevin,? he shared.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Home Alone?s original director Chris Columbus weighed in on another potential sequel. ?I think Home Alone really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can?t really recapture that,? the filmmaker said. ?I think it?s a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. I think it should be left alone.?
[From People]
I shared this article in a group text with two other friends who also watch the first two Home Alone movies every year, and we debated Macaulay?s idea. Friend #1 shut it down immediately, proclaiming, ?I?m with Columbus. It?s a funny idea, but it?s better left alone.? Friend #2, however, said that she was intrigued and wanted to hear more. Personally, I go back and forth. I like Macaulay?s idea in which he plays the guy trying to get into the house. After 35 years of identifying with the kid who defended his home with broken ornaments, a blow torch, and a tarantula, its intriguing to turn the tables. I?d also be open to hearing pitches in which Kevin becomes his mother and is simply trying to get back after realizing that he left his own kid home alone. That may be unoriginal/cliche, but it would also bring things full circle.

| | Did Princess Kate invite Princess Beatrice & Eugenie to her Christmas concert? | | Added 37 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Next week, the Princess of Wales will ?host? her annual Together at Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey. The concert will be recorded on December 5th (two Fridays from now), and it will air on Christmas Eve. If the past is prologue, the ratings will continue to be in the toilet for this event. You can really tell that no one watches the program because the British papers are very careful to never report on the ratings. Now, all that being said, people will talk about the photos from the event on Dec. 5th. They?ll talk about what Kate is wearing and who Kate invited. There will be some kind of stunt involving the Wales children, and the women might try to coordinate coats again to ?attack? the Duchess of Sussex. Well, one of the pre-Together stories is now ?did Kate invite Princess Eugenie and Beatrice?? The York princesses attended the event in years past, but that was before their father was so dramatically un-royaled.
Kate Middleton is reportedly extending quiet invitations to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie for her annual Christmas celebration ? a move that speaks volumes about her desire to keep the royal family close and connected this holiday season.
The claim comes from royal commentator and broadcaster Neil Sean, who says the Princess of Wales is making a deliberate effort to present a united front amid lingering controversies surrounding ex-Prince Andrew.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie received personal invitations for this year?s ?Together at Christmas? from Princess Catherine?s office, Sean claimed to Fox News Digital. This is Catherine?s project, and she has the final say ? very similar to the way Prince William operates Earthshot, said Sean. Above all, yes, the royal family wants to be seen as united amid what has been a very difficult year.
This puts the sisters in a very difficult dilemma, Sean pointed out. If they don?t attend, it looks like they?re snubbing a prestigious invite. If they do attend, they know there could be a media circus with them at the center of attention.
Fox News Digital reached out to Kensington Palace for comment. It?s understood there?s no official confirmation from any royal offices regarding attendance at this year?s festivities.
[From Fox News]
Honestly, it will be notable if Kate invites them and if Beatrice and Eugenie show up. While King Charles has been making it clear that he still wants B&E inside the institution in some way, Kate?s husband clearly disagrees. Scooter King William is already making eager plans to strip titles left and right, and I can only imagine how rude he is to his cousins behind the scenes. It will be tricky for B&E to navigate all of this, not just the concert. Oh, and it?s cute that anyone thinks that Kate would allow anyone to upstage her at the concert. Please. God knows, she?s probably organized another piano recital.

| | Sydney Sweeney on her jeans-ad controversy: 'the reaction definitely was a surprise' | | Added 37 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Sydney Sweeney covers one of GQ?s Men of the Year December covers she?s GQ?s Woman of the Year, basically. Love her or hate her, you can?t deny that she had a huge breakout year and she was in the middle of several pop culture/political stories. Her American Eagle jeans ads went viral for their eugenics-y vibe (?Sydney Sweeney has good jeans/genes?) and then JD Vance used Sydney as a symbol for Why Democrats Are Bad, and then Donald Trump even commented on Sydney favorably. Add to all of that, it turns out she?s a registered Republican. Oh, and she scored like a dozen other side-gigs, and she?s promoting a potential awards-bait movie with Christy, and she produced and stars in The Housemaid. You can read Sydney?s GQ profile here. A lot of it is about the American Eagle stuff! Some highlights:
Christy & The Housemaid are both about domestic violence to varying degrees, and Sydney works with domestic-violence charities: ?It does [mean something to me]. I always speak out about something that is important to me. And for me to speak out, I use art. Through my characters in my movies, it?s a way for me to be able to do my part and spread awareness in different ways through my characters. That?s how I?ve always learned to communicate, and it?s really important.
Being swept into political conversations: ?I?ve always believed that I?m not here to tell people what to think. I?m just here to kind of open their eyes to different ideas. That?s why I gravitate towards characters and stories that are complicated and are maybe morally questionable, and characters that are?on the page?hard to like, but then you find the humanity underneath them.
She?s single: ?I?m single. I don?t think I?m looking for a man right now. What I?ve learned this year is that I have a really, really amazing group of girlfriends and I am strong and independent and that I?m going to be okay. If love finds me, love finds me. I?m a hopeless romantic, so I hope love finds me, but I?m not the type of person that wants to go out all the time. And I do believe in true love and wanting to be with someone for the rest of my life. So I?m not going to?you won?t see me jumping around a lot of places?[like] guys.?
She?s not trying to narrate anything about her private life for public consumption: ?The professional benefits for me of being private is for my own health and sanity. I think that if I let everybody in all the time, I have nothing for myself. I?m just a 28-year-old woman who?s trying to figure it out, and I?m still learning and I?m going to make mistakes and I?m going to grow. And I think that it?s important to be able to do that without having to say every single thing all the time. I mean, I?ll vent to my girlfriends. But other than that, no. I know who I am. I know what I value. I know that I?m a kind person. I know that I love a lot, and I know that I?m just excited to see what happens next. And so I don?t really let other people define who I am.?
The American Eagle ad: ?I did a jean ad. I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I?m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life.
How it felt when Vance & Trump defended her: ?It was surreal?I kind of just put my phone away. I was filming every day. I?m filming Euphoria, so I?m working 16-hour days and I don?t really bring my phone on set, so I work and then I go home and I go to sleep. So I didn?t really see a lot of it.
Whether she wants to clarify anything about eugenics: ?I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear.?
[From GQ]
I sort of feel the same way about Sydney?s fakakta jeans ads that I feel about the outrage-cycle over Bad Bunny as the Halftime performer. They were both twenty million dumb scandals ago, and the outrage simply cannot be sustained. Were Sydney?s ads really dumb and offensive? Yes. Were they offensive on purpose, to create a controversy? Also yes. And all of these months later, I don?t blame Sydney for shrugging it off either if she is what I think she is (a MAGA Republican), then she?s keeping silent on purpose, to play footsie with the authoritarian fascists without ever confirming that she?s one of them. It?s literally the only thing that makes sense, given her behavior.

| | What's up with Claire Danes' lack of styling in 'The Beast In Me?' | | Added 2 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Over the weekend, I watched Netflix?s The Beast In Me. I enjoyed it, and I think Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys will likely be up for lots of awards next year, but the limited series isn?t any kind of prestige television (in my opinion). It was what I consider ?elevated trash.? Somewhat glossy (great location shoots and set design), with cliffhangers at the end of each episode and deeply flawed characters who make terrible decisions/mistakes to expedite the plot. The only part of the limited series which doesn?t fit with my ?elevated trash? definition is the fact that Claire Danes?s Aggie Wiggs looked terrible and unwashed in pretty much every scene. Claire thought she was making prestige television and she was styled as such!
There?s already a lot of commentary on Claire?s look in the series. The Direct pointed out that Claire ?looks old? but they acknowledge Aggie was supposed to be a grieving mother who has been depressed for years. I also think Claire?s lack of styling was because Aggie Wiggs is a lesbian who refuses to perform ?sexiness? for the male gaze, which is a big reason why she intrigues Matthew Rhys?s Nile Jarvis. There?s also this piece about how great it is that Claire is ageing naturally. Which I agree with it?s wonderful to see an actress committed to moving her face and not looking frozen or pulled. Claire uses every single one of her facial muscles too, crying, twitching, wincing and trembling on cue.
Anyway, I would recommend the limited series, but go into it knowing that you?re going to be furious at Aggie in so many different scenes. She makes terrible decisions and she can?t keep her mouth shut! Claire and Matthew Rhys apparently got along famously during filming though in press, they have nothing but lovely things to say about each other. I imagine they and their spouses are all friends, for some reason? It just feels like Matthew and Keri Russell probably socialize a lot with Claire and Hugh Dancy? Similar ages, backgrounds and experiences.

In 2018, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff recorded Melania Trump bitching and moaning about her First Lady duties around the holidays. Wolkoff wrote a book, which was published in 2020, about her friendship with Melania and working for Melania in the White House?s East Wing, which does not exist anymore. In 2018, Melania told Wolkoff: ?I?m working like a ? my ass off at Christmas stuff? You know, who gives a f?k about Christmas stuff and decoration? I say that I?m working on Christmas planning for the Christmas, and they said, ?Oh, what about the children?? That they were separated?Give me a f?king break? Where they were saying anything when Obama did that?? (Note: Mels claims about the Obamas are false.)
All of which to say, Melania doesn?t give a fk about any of this. I?m surprised she?s even trying to do regular First Lady bullsh-t, especially given that her husband demolished the White House East Wing, which traditionally housed the offices and holiday-entertaining spaces for any FLOTUS. But Melania still feels the need to pretend to care about Christmas stuff. On Monday, Melania welcomed the official White House Christmas tree. This is the tree which goes up in front of the White House, and traditionally there?s a lighting ceremony and everything. I just realized that Melania no longer has any space for her Christmas blood trees given the demolition of the East Wing.
It?s not very cold in the mid-Atlantic right now we?re having an especially mild autumn, and it was in the 60s in Virginia and DC yesterday. At my favorite park, people were jogging in tank tops and shorts. There was no need for Melania to wear elbow-length leather gloves and a bulky coat, other than Melania wanting to coordinate with the sign on the tree carriage.

A month ago, Justin Trudeau traveled to Paris to take Katy Perry out for her 41st birthday. They went to the Crazy Horse and they were photographed arriving and leaving. The whole thing felt weird, but this entire coupling and courtship has felt completely bizarre and performative. What?s even funnier is that Team Katy and Team Justin are narrating this courtship in the gossip media. We?ve been told that Justin really likes Katy and that he?s pursuing her, even traveling to multiple countries to get to her. We?re told that Katy appreciates his effort and she?s flattered by his pursuit. We?re told that Justin likes Katy for her mind, which is the biggest joke of all. Well, they?re still doing this. They?re making plans together for the holidays.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are preparing to spend some downtime together. After the pop star, 41, and the former prime minister, 53, were initially spotted spending time together in July, the pair have grown closer and are planning for the upcoming festive season.
Now, a source close to Perry tells PEOPLE, on Thursday, Nov. 20, that the pair are making plans for the holidays.
However, the source notes, that Perry is really looking forward to wrapping her tour.
Without exaggeration, this year has been a whirlwind for her, the source adds. She hasnt even had time to really think about her life after the tour.
According to the source, Perry ? who split from ex-fianc, Orlando Bloom earlier this year ? will be focusing on her 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom she shares with The Lord of the Rings actor, 48.
Shes a single mom now and a lot of that is going to come into focus next year, says the source.
The same source told PEOPLE on Wednesday, Nov. 19 that the couple are spending time together when they can.
Justin keeps making a big effort to see her and shes excited about it, the source told PEOPLE, noting that Perry has a lot of fun with him. The source added that their romance is exactly what she needs right now.
[From People]
This is all coming from Katy?s side, and please acknowledge that Katy doesn?t even seem to understand or know that Justin has three children from his first marriage? I?m sure his holiday plans are based more on his kids rather than Katy!! At least I hope that?s the case. But sure, Katy is a single mother now and she?s probably looking forward to wrapping her tour in a few weeks. I looked it up she plans to go back on tour next June, so she?ll have a solid six months off. Will she use that time to figure out if she wants to be with a former Canadian prime minister?

For the Royal Variety performance on Wednesday, the Princess of Wales wore a new-to-us Talbot Runhof dress. Talbot Runhof is the design collaboration between Adrian Runhof (a German) and Johnny Talbot (an American). It was interesting that Kate didn?t go with a repeat, and it looks like this gown has been in her closet for years, because the designers confirmed that they had no idea she owned this and it?s a few years old. The designers sounded happy about it, even though ?the Kate Effect? is struggling pretty hard these days, with so many of Kate?s favorite labels going out of business or dramatically downsizing.
Kate Middletons latest red carpet moment was two years in the making, but the designers behind her velvet green dress only got a quick heads-up! Adrian Runhof ? co-founder and designer at Talbot Runhof, the brand behind the Princess of Wales outfit choice for the Royal Variety Performance on Nov. 19 ? tells PEOPLE exclusively that the palace notified them that shed be wearing their dress about 30 minutes before the royals appearance.
Two hours later, our name and our dress have been posted worldwide, so we are very thankful to her, he says. We think she is great, we respect her and it?s a great honor for us that she picked this dress, that she obviously liked it enough to buy it and select it for the event last night.
Runhof ? whose celebrity fans include Selena Gomez, Helen Mirren and Oprah Winfrey ? explains that the classic dress has been in their collection for many seasons, and he believes that Princess Kate, 43, purchased it through a department store.
I think she bought it a few seasons ago and found it in her wardrobe and thought, Why don?t I wear this? Its so beautiful, he tells PEOPLE, adding that Kate looked impeccable.
The designer adds, We focus on making beautiful dresses, that?s what we do. I think the dress spoke to her. I doubt she knows who we even are, but she fell in love with it, and maybe that?s how it should be.
Runhof says the secret to their dresses is their feminine and flattering fit, adding that there was an extra bonus to Princess Kates choice. The best thing is that it?s a wonderful stretch velvet, so it feels as comfortable as a pair of pajamas! he explains.
Twenty-five years ago, American Johnny Talbot and German Runhof started the brand, quickly discovered by Georgio Beverly Hills, a store that used to exist in Los Angeles that was a popular spot for celebrities hitting the red carpet.
The Princess of Wales dress choice may hint that shes considering the brand for the upcoming state visit to the U.K. by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and first lady Frau Elke Bdenbender. We are very excited to hear about it when it happens, Runhof tells PEOPLE, adding that the German first lady owns many of their dresses. She might be wearing one when she comes to the U.K. in December, too!
[From People]
The Telegraph also devoted an article to glazing Kate for her ?pre-diplomatic dressing? by choosing a German designer, all because of the upcoming state visit by Chancellor Steinmeier. The Telegraph also bizarrely claims that this dress is ?no longer available to buy, indicating just how far in advance the Princess and her team plans for these engagements.? Does anyone actually think that Kate purchased this dress two years ago and thought ?this will be good for the 2025 Royal Variety show?? No. Kate used to shop and shop and shop and she has a closet full of clothes she?s never worn. And that?s probably why it feels like her clothing allowance has been cut so dramatically in the past two years as well, and why she tried to make a big deal about how her office would no longer talk about her fashion.

The Princess of Wales only had one event last week, during the actual ?work week.? The poor keen sausage was exhausted from attending two events over the weekend the Festival of Remembrance and Remembrance Sunday. She visited the National Memorial Arboretum on Armistice Day (last Tuesday) and that was that. Of course, we also ?saw? Kate in her Autumn video in her ?Mother Nature? series over the weekend. That counts as work for Kate as well, for some reason. Well, good news Kate will work at least one day this week. She and Prince William will attend the Royal Variety show on Wednesday.
Kate Middleton and Prince William are all set for a date night. The Prince and Princess of Wales will don their best outfits as they attend an annual glitzy pre-holiday show on Wednesday Nov. 19.
The couple, both 43, will get in the mood for the holiday when they are the guests of honor at this year?s Royal Variety Performance, which is being held at the Royal Albert Hall, a short drive from their London home, Kensington Palace.
The show benefits the Royal Variety Charity, which supports those who have worked professionally in the entertainment world. Since 2024, particular attention has been given by the charity to those who are in need of help due to mental health challenges ? an area that is close to the hearts of both Kate and William.
The evening will be hosted by British comedian Jason Manford and is set to include a flavor of some of the current top-level shows onstage in the West End. The royal couple will be hoping they arent the subject of some of the jokes ? as they have been in the past.
[From People]
In 2023, the Royal Variety show was one of Kate?s last public appearances before her months-long disappearance. I hope we?re not getting a repeat of that. But it?s interesting as well that they?re back to letting Kate go outside in the evenings. For well over a year, it felt like Kate was banned from evening events or any event where she might wear a tiara or a gown. But they?re back to allowing her to attend state dinners and the like. I?m curious to see if she attends the diplomatic reception as well she skipped it last year, and there was a curious silence around her absence. William and Kate also skipped the BAFTAs this year (another evening event) and the V-J Day commemoration event over the summer.
Meanwhile, the BBC apologized for calling her ?Kate Middleton? on air during a Remembrance event. There were apparently complaints from royalists that anchors still use Kate?s maiden name, and that no one refers to her as ?Catherine? either. Honestly, it?s an SEO thing, it?s not about respect or disrespect.
And finally, Kate?s Autumn video has not gone over well.

Ali Larter is currently co-starring in Taylor Sheridan?s (creator of Yellowstone, et. al) ?new? Paramount+ series, Landman. I call it ?new? because while it?s about to start its second season on Sunday, it?s not set in the Yellowstone universe. It?s actually based off a podcast about the oil industry in Texas called Boomtown. Landman also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and a huge ensemble cast.
Ali plays Billy Bob?s ex-wife, Angela, a role that requires her to wear a lot of sexy outfits, including low-cut, skin-tight dresses and bikinis. This past spring, Ali had to defend Angela?s sensuality and wardrobe, saying, ?If there was something I was uncomfortable with, I wouldn?t do it.? To promote the second season, Ali did an interview with People. When asked about her fitness routine, she was honest about how much work goes into maintaining her physique.
Ill tell you what. I work really hard, okay? Im not pretending that I dont, she tells PEOPLE in this weeks issue. Im up at 4:30 [a.m.] on Mondays. I go for a run. Its only 30 minutes. I try to eat very clean, but I eat. Im one of those protein mommies. I eat so much protein all day long. It works for me.
On top of morning runs, Larter does a lot of strength training, but the physical training is ultimately only one piece of the puzzle for her.
In the end, anytime you have to put on a bathing suit and walk in front of anybody, its really difficult, she admits. When I look around, the sexiest women I know are the women that own it. So part of getting there with Angela is owning it.
Once she enters the zone for a scene as Angela, particularly one where she might feel more exposed given her outfit, Larter says, There is no space in my mind for insecurity. Im not allowing any of that into my space when I play Angela.
Adding, I wouldnt be able to do it if I allowed insecurity to creep in. And I really do believe, sexiness ? yeah, shes sexy on the outside, but guess what? Shes owning it on the inside, too.
Larter admits that when shes not filming the show in Fort Worth, Texas alongside costars Demi Moore, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland and Kayla Wallace, she takes her time off seriously. I fall apart on the weekends. I lay in bed, sometimes 12 hours, she says. Im not kidding you.
[From People]
Ali?s hard work is certainly paying off because she looks absolutely fantastic. If I looked like that at 49, I?d be bragging to People magazine, too. I?ve always been a sucker for celebrity fitness stories and it?s refreshing to hear an actress admit that she works her ass off to look a certain way rather than give the ol? ?It?s good genes; I eat whatever I want!? line. I?ve been in an exercising slump for the last month or so. I got bored with all of my go-to workouts and just fell off the wagon. Ali?s inspiring me to get back into a good fitness routine again. I also love that she admits to enjoying her days off by lying in bed for 12 hours. Rest and relaxation are good for the soul. In the same interview, Ali also admitted that while walking around in a bikini on set could be ?really difficult,? she thinks the key to true sexiness is to ?own it? by feeling comfortable in your own skin. She is so right about that. Self-confidence is very sexy.
Oh, and Sheridan is the new ?it? showrunner, isn?t he? All of his shows have ensembles made up of big name casts. Like Shonda Rhimes, Ryan Murphy, David E. Kelley, and Aaron Sorkin before him, it seems like everyone wants to be cast in his shows.

Tom Cruise gave Dakota Fanning her first cell phone for her 11th birthday, a Motorola Razr, after Dakota played his daughter in the 2005 War of the Worlds remake. In the 20 years since, however, Tom has marked Dakota?s birthday each and every year by gifting her a pair of shoes. As far as I can tell, Dakota is the only colleague who gets a new pair of shoes for her birthday, instead of receiving the infamous Christmas coconut cake delivery, courtesy of Tom. Why? Quirks/anomalies like these fascinate me! And I?m not the only one fascinated by the yearly shoe drop: Dakota was on Watch What Happens Live last week to promote her new series All Her Fault, and host Andy Cohen asked if Tom is still keeping up with the tradition. (Yes, he is.) Sitting in the other guest chair was Brittany Snow, who was similarly intrigued:
Tom Cruise still sends Dakota Fanning a pair of shoes every year to mark her birthday.
Fanning, 31, told Andy Cohen as much during her Thursday, Nov. 6, appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Brittany Snow, as [Dakota] promotes her new Peacock series All Her Fault. Cohen, 57, referenced Fanning?s previous statements that Cruise has given her shoes for her birthday in the past and asked if it was still a tradition for the A-list actor when Fannings birthday rolls around each February.
?Yes, he does,? Fanning, who worked with Cruise when she was a child actor in 2005?s War of the Worlds, responded. ?Yes, he does.?
?Really nice shoes, yes,? she added, when Cohen asked her to clarify ?what kind of shoes? Cruise sends her.
?I have so many questions,? Snow, 39, told her fellow actress, and Fanning responded, ?It?s really as simple as that. He?s just always given me shoes.?
?But are they nice shoes, are they sneakers? Or are they like??? Snow asked. ?They?re nice shoes,? Fanning explained. When Snow asked whether Cruise knows if Fanning?s shoe size has changed over the years, she added, ?It has changed over the years and he?s adapted. He?s adapted.?
?Shoes are not the only gift Cruise has given Fanning over the years. In April 2024, Fanning said in an interview with Harper?s BAZAAR that Cruise actually gave her her first cell phone ? a Motorola Razr ? for her 11th birthday. ?I loved having it. I loved it. I felt so cool,? she said, noting that Cruise has always sent her gifts on her birthday each year since then.
[From People]
I found it hilarious (and a little curious) that Dakota wouldn?t elaborate beyond, ?They?re really nice shoes.? Like Brittany, I?m brimming with questions. Does Dakota wear these shoes to red carpet events? Are they Hokas? (Because sneakers can be nice, too!) By what means exactly does Tom keep abreast of Dakota?s current shoe size? My bigger burning questions, though, are more macro. Again, what accounts for the diversion from Christmas cake to birthday shoes? Also ? and answer honestly ? if any other male coworker were annually gifting shoes to their decades younger female colleague starting from when she was a preteen, would it not be giving us the ick? And yet the man at the top of a cult has seemingly cultivated a Nice Guy shield? Dakota met Tom when she was a kid, which informs her experience of Tom and how she feels about him. I don?t hold anything against her if he?s still a positive figure for her, based on that history. Speaking for my own sassy ass, though, I?d send the shoes back with a note that says, ?Where?s Shelly??
