Tom's kids call Katie "Mom"

Katie Holmes gushes that husband Tom Cruise is a "great father and husband" and says his two children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman are "incredible, really smart and kind." "They call me 'Mom'," Holmes says in this week's Parade Magazine of Cruise's first two children, Isabella, who turns 15 this month, and Connor, 12. (Ouch - their mom Nicole Kidman recently revealed that they don't even call her mom.) The 29-year-old actress says she's looking forward to spending the holidays cooking and skiing in Telluride, Colo., with Cruise, their baby daughter Suri, and both sides of the big family. "Last year was Suri's first Christmas. It was so spectacular to share the holidays with her," she says. "It really meant the world to me. To be able to create a tradition for your children is one of the best gifts you can have." Her one-year marriage to Cruise, she says, is another gift. "Oh, we have so much fun," she says. "Tom has introduced me to so many new experiences. I have done things I never thought I would do, like climbing mountains and flying in the P-51. That's what is so inspiring about being with him – constant thrills and joy." After taking a two-year hiatus from her acting career, Holmes stars in the upcoming film Mad Money with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. She says the three of them had a blast: "We got our morning female talk in the trailer every day." She tells Parade that Tom was very excited for her to do the movie, and that he loved hearing all the stories. He has a great understanding of "the female bond" because he has three sisters, she says. "He was raised by a single mother and has two daughters," she explains.

Katie Holmes makes me want to upchuck! Just wait until Tom tires of her like he did his other wives and then takes Suri away from her to the mother ship! Pay back hurts Katie or is it Kate!! The kids are probably programmed to say Mom to her and not Nicole!

Tom cruise is sick to allow his kids to Katie "Mom" Nicole is their mum, he has obviously supported that, how horribly hurtful a decent parent would support the other party, not actively estrange the children from her in every possible way. Katie has no compassion for Nicole she should actively discourage it-Those kids have a mum. I will not be seeing any of their movies their scientology idiots.

If my children ever called my ex-husband's new wife "Mom" I would be devastated. My ex and his wife respect the fact that I am their Mother and have not expected nor encouraged the kids to call her Mom - obviously Tom and Katie do not have that level of respect for Nicole. Payback will come 100 fold when Suri calls Tom's next wife Mom...Shame on you Katie, as a mother you should know better.
