As I get older, I get more and more disturbed by grown women who put on ?baby voices? or breathy little-girl voices. It irritates me to no end. Back in June, Ariana Grande did just that within a podcast interview she spoke in her normal, deeper speaking voice and then, within seconds, she quickly phased in her breathy little-girl voice. Here?s that clip:
When people were like ?wait, this is crazy,? Ariana clapped back and said that she changes her voice like that to protect it, because she?s a singer. Many singers or vocal performers chimed in and backed her up, saying that this is a real thing that singers do to ?protect their voices.? Now Ariana is expanding on that:
Ariana Grande has no tears left to cry over criticism of her voice. In fact, the Grammy winner doesnt think its a big deal that she can switch between two different accents. Approaching a viral video of her changing vocal inflections with a yes, and? attitude, Ariana noted that the shift is a normal thing people do, especially if you have a large range.?
?I did just spend a long time playing a character every single day,? Ariana said on the July 9 episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast, referring to her role as Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movie musical. Muscle memory is a real thing.
The 31-year-old also pointed out how there seems to be a double standard when male actors unintentionally stay in character after filming.
Sure, people make jokes here and there as well, but it?s always after the fact, ?Oh wow, how dedicated to his craft! What an amazing transformation! He?s a brilliant performer!' she continued. ?But then it?s like, god forbid I sneeze like Glinda.
[From E! News]
There?s actually not a double standard when Austin Butler was still doing his Elvis voice two years after filming, it was a huge conversation and he was absolutely criticized for it. Same with Tom Hardy?s stupid Bane voice. There are no male vocalists who put on a sexy-baby voice to protect their vocal chords either, but I will acknowledge that Ariana probably has a bigger vocal range than most male singers. Anyway, if singers tell me that this is totally a legit way to protect their voices, so be it, and I agree that people should go easier on Ari. But I do think it?s a mix of ?protecting her voice? and ?creating a girlish sexy-baby facade.?

On Monday, I wrote a sort of ?placeholder? story about Bennifer, as did People Magazine. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spent the Independence Day long-weekend on separate coasts, playing games with their wedding rings. Both got pap?d a lot. There are still no announcements of either divorce or reconciliation. People Mag?s big exclusive was ?Jennifer seems fine.? My gut tells me that Jennifer would never ?leave? Ben or be the one to say ?we are getting a divorce.? No matter what, Ben is still the love of her life. So it?s up to Ben to determine what?s next. That?s sort of what Page Six?s sources are saying too J.Lo is spending time at her home in the Hamptons and letting Ben figure out what he wants.
A reconciliation between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seems slimmer by the day amid ongoing divorce rumors, a source exclusively tells Page Six. An insider close to the couple tells us that, while the singer remains ?smitten? with her husband, she has embarked on a summer of ?health, happiness and joy? for herself and her family.
?Nothing can break her spirit,? the source adds. ?She wants to have a summer full of fun and laughter.?
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that their marriage has been ?over for months? and Lopez seemingly confirmed that as she posted a clip of her 2021 music video for ?Cambia el Paso? on Instagram Sunday. The empowering tune features the lyrics, translated from Spanish to English, ?Her life is better now without him ? She doesn?t need anyone to be well / She does not fail, she does not fail.? Lopez then asserts, ?He doesn?t deserve to have her in his arms.?
The update comes as Lopez, 54, continues to enjoy the summer without Affleck, 51, despite the two still wearing their wedding rings. Over the July 4th weekend, she was spotted looking happy and carefree while enjoying a bike ride with her longtime pal and vocal coach, Stevie Mackey, in the Hamptons, N.Y. She was also seen shopping in Bridgehampton with her manager, Benny Medina, and out and about with her child Emme.
Nonetheless, multiple sources tell us that Lopez who has continuously called the Oscar winner the love of her life still feels the same way. We?re told by another source that, amid the rumored split, Lopez has been spending a lot of time with her twins, Emme and Max, 16.
?When they?re not at their summer activities she?s with them,? the source tells us.
[From Page Six]
My theory has morphed into: she?s trying to make him chase her. She?s showing him what he?s missing. She?s trying to do ?absence makes the heart grow fonder.? He needed space so she?s giving him tons of space and letting him figure it out. Figure out if he wants another marriage to crash and burn, figure out if he?s actually happier without her. We?ll see.

| | Brooke Burke: learn how to weight train after 50, it shifts your hormones | | Added 415 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|
|
|
|

Well, ladies, they say that menopause comes for us all, and with it, comes all of the annoying hormonal symptoms that we can?t escape. I turned 40 earlier this year, and since then, I have been waiting for perimenopause to catch up with me. I?ve eagerly read all of your comments on other posts relating to menopause and bought Dr. Jen Gunter?s The Menopause Manifesto to be prepared. One of the things I?ve read about is how women really need to incorporate weight training into their routine as they get older in order to make up for the loss of muscle mass and bone density that contributes to weight gain.
As it happens, Brooke Burke turns 53 this year. Brooke has always been very tuned into health and fitness, and her workout routine has changed as she?s aged. Brooke recently did an interview with Fox News Digital in which she talked about how her workout routine has changed since hitting menopause. Similar to what I have read, Brooke?s new workout routine includes weight training with heavier weights in order to jump start the metabolism, create strength, and shift your hormones.
This stage of my life as a woman, Mother Nature is just dishing out challenge after challenge for us, the television personality told Fox News Digital in a conversation about fitness and wellness. Burke, 53 in September, has incorporated compound exercises and heavy weights into her workout regimen, the latter of which women often stray away from.
I want to speak to this quickly because most women are afraid of heavy weights. And theres this myth attached to it that were going to get bulky. Not true. Like, we would have to consume so much protein and go so heavy and be so diligent about that program to really change the body, she said.
What I found, Im in my 50s, no one prepared us for menopause and said, ?Learn how to weight train.? The reason we need to weight train is for bone density. Its bone health, osteoporosis. It shifts your hormones. It kicks up your metabolism. It creates strength. It allows you to develop more coordination so we can do other things.
Its the first time Im really adding heavy weights. And heavy for me is like 10 pound arms, right? Ive always added heavy weights to my booty burn programs to build curves in the glute muscles, said Burke, who hosts a LIVE! Zoom workout class every Friday on her website, BrookeBurke.com. But its making me stronger. Im feeling my body changing, Im able to maintain lean muscle. Im also adding a lot of protein to my diet because my body needs it.
Depriving your body of what it needs ? food ? is something the former Dancing with the Stars host recommends you dont do.
I feel like we are in a phase in our country of a quick fix. And that fad diet and shocking the system and so much discipline that were not enjoying our life. I am eating more. Im leaner, Im stronger, and Im more satisfied. And I have more energy. Im eating nutrient-dense foods, Im eating more protein. My smoothie ? the other day on social media, somebody asked me how many calories were in my smoothie. I was like, ?I do not count calories.? I just dont. I wont. I have enough stuff to count in my life, she said. There are so many calories in my smoothie, but heres the difference. Its nutrient dense. Its loaded with good fats. Im fueling my brain. Im feeding my body. Im energizing my whole system. Its just a retraining of the brain. Eat, everybody. Dont starve.
Burke says that while she does intermittent fasts in the morning, she does it with intention and puts full cream in her coffee.
I never would have done that. The younger me? No chance. Im feeling my body with that. Im satisfied and Im eating really well. Flavorful meals, herbs, spices, oils, its a different way of approaching wellness. Different than when I was in my 20s. Its better, and its more fun, and its more flavorful.
[From Fox News]
Literally everything that Brooke says here is something that I read over the past few weeks or come to realize over the last couple of years. I?ve tried to adjust my diet and fitness routine accordingly. I?ve always been big on doing core work like planks and push ups, but have generally shied away from doing any weight work over 5lbs. Like many people, I was also worried about getting ?bulky,? even though I?ve heard for ages that this is just a myth. I take Pure Barre classes a few times a week and last year, started doing their weight-based class, Define, which has gotten me up to using 10lb weights. I did notice a change in my body when I started taking that class, but it?s only once a week, and I feel like I?ve stalled out over the past few months. I need to find another way to add weights to my routine.
Brooke is also right about how important it is to focus on nutrition. As we get older, it is important to make sure we?re eating to fuel our bodies in order to keep our energy up and our metabolisms going. I?ve noticed that when I have smaller, yet more filling meals that incorporate a protein, healthy fat, and vegetable, my body reacts better than if I was going to skip meals. It?s crazy how much our bodies change as we get older, and how we have to stay on top of these things! If anyone has any other tips or advice on ways to adjust for your body as it changes, please, feel free to share.

Back in May, Amber Rose sauntered down to Mar-a-Lago and posed for a photo with Donald and Melania Trump. Amber posted the photo on her social media and seemingly endorsed Trump for president. Which is weird, because eight years ago, Amber was very anti-Trump and she spoke out about how he shouldn?t be president and how he?s a racist idiot. But a lot can happen in eight years. Someone like Amber could fall into a toxic cult or have a major head injury or maybe she?s just so broke-ass that she needs to give a paid political endorsement to a rapist felon. In any case, the SlutWalk founder is scheduled to speak at this year?s Republican National Convention. A CNN reporter announced the news and Amber confirmed it:
RNC news: Amber Rose, a reality tv personality and model who shocked fans by endorsing Donald Trump for president earlier this year, is expected to speak at the Republican National Convention next week, a source familiar tells CNN.

| | Lara Flynn Boyle: 'ageism is human nature. It's not Hollywood's fault' | | Added 421 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|
|
|
|
|
Lara Flynn Boyle was a gossip staple back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She was in relationships with Kyle MacLachlan, David Spade and, most famously, Jack Nicholson, and there was rampant speculation about her weight. After she and Nicholson broke up for good in 2004, Lara took a step back from the Hollywood scene. She married her husband Donald Ray Thomas in 2006. Since then, she and Thomas have been living in Texas part-time with their rescue dog named Shrimp.
Despite having a much lower profile over the last two decades, Lara?s popped up here and there, appearing in a handful of movies and occasionally, in paparazzi shots. Lara?s last movie was four years ago, something she blames the pandemic for. On July 5, her new movie, Mother, Couch will be out for a limited run. People recently sat down with Lara to catch up and talk to her love of Hollywood, being a tabloid fixture, ageism in the biz, and more.
She loves ?everything? about Hollywood: [Boyle, 54, explains] why she changed her mind and nixed her initial suggestion for her PEOPLE interview ? a nondescript L.A. diner that serves tuna melts and apple pie ? and opted for the glamorous Sunset Boulevard hot spot that opened in 1941, the year Citizen Kane premiered. ?I don?t have to be like, ?Look where I go. I?m normal,?? says Boyle. ?I love Hollywood. I love everything about Hollywood.? The fact that Boyle is still so enthusiastic about show business is a testament to her resilience ? she?s a ?scrapper,? she says several times during an hour-long chat.
She had her own #MeToo experiences: ?I?ve been in situations that were not called for. I?ve walked out of meetings and had repercussions for it,? she says, declining to name names. ?We all go through it.?
On tabloids publishing unflattering pictures of her: Even after Boyle got married to Texas real estate developer Donald Ray Thomas, 58, in 2006 and began working less, paparazzi still hounded her. They snapped pictures while she took out the trash and, in one unflattering instance, while she appeared to take a swig from a bottle of Johnnie Walker whiskey in her car. Tabloids were all too happy to publish the photos alongside sensational headlines.
No complaining or leaving: ?I never wanted to bow out [of Hollywood]. Any moment I was feeling down or sorry for myself, I made sure I did not complain,? she says while sipping on a cappuccino. ?My mom used to sometimes bring me articles about other actresses to show me I?m not the only one getting a raw deal.?
She was cast in Mother, Couch because the director saw her tabloids: It?s that tabloid attention that intrigued writer-director Niclas Larsson, who cast Boyle in Mother, Couch. Larsson grew up in Sweden reading tabloids at his mother?s hair salon and was fascinated by Boyle. ?The only type of literature I was exposed to between the age of 5 to maybe 10 was gossip magazines. And Lara was on the cover a lot. I?m like, ?What?s up with Lara?? What?s up with the excellent actor Lara Flynn Boyle??
No one can imagine what women in the late 90s went through: I knew I needed someone who physically and mentally lived through something,? says Larsson. ?I don?t think anyone can imagine what it is like to go through what a lot of women went through in the late ?90s, early 2000s.?
No more Hollywood boyfriends or booze: Before she met Thomas, Boyle dated her Twin Peaks costar Kyle MacLachlan, Saturday Night Live alum David Spade and then Nicholson on and off from 1999 into the early 2000s. ?I left with a bang when it came to actors,? she says of the three-time Oscar winner. ?Then I went, ?Okay, I?m done now.? ?
She said the same about alcohol around five years ago. ?Those disco boots, they?ve had their time,? says Boyle. If there was an impetus to stop, Boyle isn?t telling. ?Some people are allergic to it; some people are un-allergic to it,? she says.
Ageism is ?human nature: From the outside, I say, it seems things have become more inclusive. Before she speaks, she lets out a long, world-weary laugh. ?Not at all,? she says. ?The thing that gets my goat is when actresses talk about ageism in Hollywood. Ageism is human nature. It?s not Hollywood?s fault. It?s all of our fault. Myself included. I like looking at pretty people on the camera.?
She?s ready for her close-up but doesn?t want to see it: One person she does not enjoy watching: herself. ?If you want to call me Norma Desmond, go for it,? she quips. ?Whenever I catch a reflection of myself in a lens, I?m like, ?Oh, cut.? ?
[From People]
Oh man, some of what she says?it feels like there?s so much to unpack there. Larsson is right about famous women in the late ?90s and early ?00s. Thinking back to that period of time, they really went through so much unfair scrutiny and judgment as a part of tabloid culture. I feel so badly for buying into it all so much when I was much younger. Beauty standards in that time period messed so many of us normies up, thinking that?s what we had to look like to be attractive. I can only imagine how bad it was for actresses who were having their pictures taken and talked about all of the time. I remember seeing that picture of her drinking from the Johnnie Walker bottle in her car and feeling sorry for her, hoping she got some help. I?m glad she?s stopped drinking.
As for ageism, while it does seem like there are more roles for more mature-aged actresses nowadays, I recognize that there?s still a lot of room for improvement. However, I don?t know if it?s ?human nature? so much as what Hollywood perceives as marketability. I really don?t think most people prefer looking at ?pretty people? on screens. I just want good story content and acting. I feel like viewers are in an era where we appreciate seeing people who look like us represented in our media and it hasn?t gone completely unnoticed. Also, it?s sorta telling the way Lara says she can?t stand to watch herself on screen. She may be a ?scrapper? but it sure feels like she has a lot of scars from old wounds that never healed properly.

| | Puck: Goop is having a 'midlife crisis' & the beauty line has stagnating sales | | Added 421 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|
|
|
|
|
Gwyneth Paltrow?s Goop has had a beauty line for years, making their own branded skincare and beauty products, sometimes in collaboration with existing beauty brands. Last year, Goop Beauty launched Good Clean Goop, a supposedly ?affordable? beauty line with all of the core tenets of Goop: ?clean? branding and eye-rolling at broke peasants. Gwyneth repeatedly looked down on consumers who cannot spend hundreds of dollars a month on skincare. She repeatedly made a point of saying that Good Clean Goop was basically a watered-down version of what she wanted because they couldn?t put expensive ingredients into the products because then the peasants wouldn?t be able to afford them. Is it a huge surprise that Good Clean Goop isn?t doing well? Perhaps not. But what surprised me is that, according to Puck, Goop Beauty is doing poorly across the board.
Goop?s overall sales, which include Goop Beauty, have been more or less flat since 2021, I?m told. Paltrow?s wholesale beauty businesses aren?t doing great, either. Despite WWD recently citing ?Amazon overall and the wholesale business as key strengths for Goop Beauty,? I?ve heard that U.S. retail sales for the brand were only in the six figures at Amazon and Sephora for the month of May. (Summer Fridays did millions in sales at Sephora during the same period.) A spokesperson for Goop said that Goop Beauty?s sales overall are up 17 percent year-to-date.
Good.clean.goop, a more affordable and wholesale-only skincare brand that launched simultaneously at Target and on Amazon last October, also underperformed. I?ve heard the line is in the ?bottom 15? at Target, which de-escalated some partnerships following the blowback to its LGBTQ+ Pride campaign last year. A source with firsthand knowledge of Target?s beauty business told me that the retailer had ?reputational concerns? regarding Paltrow being a polarizing figure and decided to ?take a step back? in terms of marketing and in-store placement of the brand.
?They got so conservative because of what was happening with Pride that everything was put on hold. Gwyneth ended up opening up the brand to Amazon, and it was not an exclusive launch. The brand lost momentum??it was put on a back endcap in the store, and it never really got traction,? this person said. (A spokesperson for Target declined to comment.)
There was also confusion around the market, pricing, and buyer for good.clean.goop. The line didn?t necessarily appeal to Paltrow?s wealthier core demographic, but it was still too expensive for the not-yet-Goop?d customer who doesn?t want to spend $30 to $40 on skincare, especially in the absence of serious marketing and prime placement in Target?s stores. ?At the end of the day, it may not be priced correctly for what it is,? an executive at the retailer said.
Then the parody went mainstream. Goop Beauty lost its first-mover advantage when clean, nontoxic, and ?free of? beauty marketing became inescapable. With every skincare brand chasing ?clean? status??which, for the record, is purely a marketer?s gimmick since most ingredients on the ?dirty? lists would never make it into beauty products in the first place??there was little setting Goop apart.
[From Puck]
I fundamentally believe that Gwyneth is a bandwagoner who merely takes credit for inventing/pioneering most things, but Puck correctly points out that Goop really missed so many opportunities to stake out their claim in the beauty/skincare market earlier on. Now the gap left by Goop has been filled by Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, etc. Puck goes on to suggest that Goop?s ?midlife crisis? is the result of Gwyneth failing to ?install proper executive leadership, or even a seasoned C.E.O. with the operating chops to streamline the company?s various product lines.? I absolutely agree with that. Gwyneth has always expressed a desire for Goop to be a stand-alone entity eventually, and not be synonymous with Gwyneth?s name. But Gwyneth has still centered herself within the company, and for good reason because she IS Goop. But that also means that she?s sort of half-assed it when it comes to building the company and ensuring the company?s independence.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are probably close to being completely done. What a waste, all of it. Ben really wrote love letters to Jennifer when she was engaged to Alex Rodriguez, then she quickly extracted herself from that engagement and went all-in with Ben soon after. I think they were happy for a year or so, but reality came crashing down on them at some point in the past year. I hesitate to say it was ALL about J.Lo?s This Is Me? Now projects, but I?m sure the album, music film and documentary did not help at all. It wasn?t all about the Beverly Hills mansion either, but that didn?t help. Now Page Six is saying that Bennifer is definitely OVER.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have tried their best to put on a united front ? but the couple?s marriage has allegedly been over for months, we hear. According to sources, they?ve been apart since March, but Affleck is ?very protective of Jennifer.?
Rumors of the couple?s split hit a fever pitch in May after Affleck was noticeably absent from J.Lo?s side at major red carpet events ? like the Met Gala, which she co-chaired this year. He also didn?t accompany her to the premiere of her new Netflix project, ?Atlas.?
Lopez then added fuel to the rumor mill when she liked an Instagram post about unhealthy relationships. ?You can?t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves,? said the post.
[From Page Six]
The premiere for This Is Me? Now: A Love Story happened in February of this year. I said at the time that the vibe was off and that Ben seemed to be phoning it in/detatching. It would not surprise me at all if that was basically when the beginning of the end. Meanwhile, Ben and Jen are obviously unloading the Beverly Hills mansion, but Page Six also says that they?re unloading some artwork too. Yeah? that says divorce to me. Selling real estate AND artwork, while living separately and barely seeing each other? We?ll probably get a divorce announcement this week or next.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez out and about in LA on Saturday. She was with her kids, I can see Emme in the background of some of the photos. J.Lo?s ensemble here is sort of interesting she?s wearing head-to-toe Dior, except for a rare Hermes Birkin bag. I love the crisp white cotton Dior shirt and I even like the Dior D-Joy ballet flats. The Dior trousers are kind of awful though, not that flattering on Jennifer. I don?t imagine that style would be flattering on any body type though. Her Birkin is crocodile skin, in black. Last week, Jennifer seemingly made a last-minute decision to attend the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week. I wonder if she returned home with a suitcase full of Dior for her trouble.
As we discussed on Sunday, when J.Lo was in Italy and France, Ben moved his sh-t out of their Beverly Hills home. This home seems to be one big contention in their marriage they spent months and months looking at homes all over LA, and when they finally settled on this gigantic mansion, they also spent millions renovating it. Ben quietly moved out of the mansion two months ago and he?s now staying at a Brentwood rental. I think J.Lo is possibly still living in the Beverly Hills place, even though they?ve put it on the market already. If J.Lo is concerned about Ben moving his sh-t out while she was on vacation, she?s not letting it show. She wore her wedding ring for this Saturday outing.
All that being said, I really do wonder if we?re going to get a big announcement soon. The paparazzi are obviously trailing Ben and Jen a lot these days, and it?s become clear that they?ve probably only seen each other once in like three or four weeks? And that one meeting was literally at their office. I hate this! I?m still rooting for them, but damn, it really does not look good.

| | Tom Cruise was seen with his son, Connor, exiting a helicopter in London | | Added 423 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last week, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? daughter, Suri Noelle, graduated from high school in New York City. Tom, meanwhile, was in London, watching Taylor Swift?s The Eras Tour from the VIP tent. Tom reportedly hasn?t seen Suri since 2012 because, when her mother escaped from Tom, she also escaped from Scientology. Poor Nicole Kidman was labeled a Suppressive Person after their divorce, meaning Cruise and their two children, Isabella (?Bella?), 31, and Connor, 29, weren?t allowed to have any contact with her. That is most likely why Tom has not seen Suri in 12 years.
Bella and Connor largely stay out of the spotlight. They live their lives, occasionally posting to Instagram. As far as we know, they?re both still Scientologists. Once in a while, we see them in public with their dad, but sightings are few and far between. All three were spotted together late last year visiting the Tampa Bay Lightning ice hockey team, presumably to watch a game. On Friday, four days after Suri?s graduation, Tom and Connor were seen exiting a helicopter together in London.
Tom Cruise is spending some quality time with his son Connor. On Friday, June 28, the 61-year-old Top Gun: Maverick star was seen departing a helicopter in Central London, as his 29-year-old son followed behind.
The actor waved to onlookers as he wore a pair of sunglasses, jeans and an off-white fitted top. Connor, meanwhile, donned a navy baseball cap, a black hoodie, jeans and some athletic sneakers.
The rare public outing between the duo comes six months after another public appearance, when Cruise was spotted with both Connor and his older sister, Isabella Bella, 31.
Back in December, the trio were photographed together in an image shared on Instagram by former NFL player Derrick Brooks. In the photo, Cruise was front and center with his son, as his daughter poked her head through the back of the group image.
Cruise shares his two older kids with his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, and shares his 18-year-old daughter Suri with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes. In October 2021, the Mission Impossible star was seen out with his son at a Los Angeles Dodgers game. Before then, the pair were photographed together in October 2019 in London.
While Bella often shares her artwork on Instagram, her brother tends to share glimpses of himself outside ? and he usually updates fans with images involving golfing or fishing. His last Instagram post came in April 2023, when Connor shared a snap of himself at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. In the photo, Connor gave a thumbs-up to the camera and wore some nice golfing attire. , he captioned the image, his first since he shared a shot of himself and some fishing friends in 2022.
While Cruises eldest son has tried his hand at both acting and DJing, he isnt often spotted in public these days.
Connor has a pretty simple life in Clearwater, a source told PEOPLE in 2018. He lives in his own home in a Scientology community. His life is deep-sea fishing. He has a lot of friends and seems very well-liked.
[From People]
I did a little digging online and didnt see any reporting on what Connor and Tom were doing prior or post departing said helicopter. Like their younger sister, Connor and Bella choose to live their lives out of the spotlight, so I will respect that, and not speculate too much about their lives other than what we?ve been publicly told. In 2016, Bella told the Australian website New Idea that she does speak with her mother. She actually goes by Bella Kidman Cruise now. Connor, like People says, still lives in a Scientology community in Clearwater, Florida (which is in Tampa Bay, hence why the Cruises were at a hockey game there). Something nice: For however terrible a father Tom was for Suri, it?s good that he shows up for Connor and Bella, even if we know its because they?re all in the same cult, so he?s ?allowed? to be a part of their lives. As for Tom?s lack of a relationship with Suri, she may be better off, but the whole situation is still kinda sad. It didn?t have to be that way. Tom could have chosen to live his life differently.
