Palace fury as British MP reveals Kate's pregnant
When Katie fired her from her fashion house Holmes & Yang earlier this year, Bella lost some motivation. She's just bored so she’s meandering around town with that guy [Eddie]. Tom allows it but it's only because he’s too busy.

In Tom's desperation to win Suri's favour, his first daughter has been left behind.

Tom Cruise has made sure daughter Suri has lived every little girl’s dream in the past week. The mini A-lister had the run of Walt Disney World in Florida, even getting a money-can’t-buy stay in the exclusive princess suite in Cinderella’s castle. Still reeling from his divorce and missing his gregarious six-year-old, it’s clear Tom only has eyes for Suri. In fact, it’s easy to forget he has two other children.

While Suri gets ferried around New York in a helicopter with Dad as he searches for a luxury house near to the Manhattan apartment she shares with mum Katie, Isabella and Connor have barely seen their father."They're out there on their own, fending for themselves," a source close to Tom tells Woman's Day exclusively.Like any 17-year-old boy, Connor appears to be relishing his freedom, hitting the club scene and hooning around town with gorgeous young LA party girls.

But Bella, 19, appears to be suffering the most from the lack of parental guidance. Her low-key life in a grimy one-bedroom apartment she shares with boyfriend Eddie Frencher, in the middle of dangerous downtown LA, is a far cry from the five-star hotels Suri stays in with her dad when he’s in town. And whenever Bella ventures out, it’s usually to wander aimlessly around her neighbourhood, stopping to pick up armfuls of junk food or takeaway.

"Bella is a little lost right now. She's old enough to have the freedom, but she's not very confident," our insider explains. "When Katie fired her from her fashion house Holmes & Yang earlier this year, Bella lost some motivation. She's just bored so she’s meandering around town with that guy [Eddie]. Tom allows it but it's only because he’s too busy and really doesn't have the time to look after anyone but himself and Suri."

Isabella has been neglected by her parents for a long time. While she is Tom and Nicole's daughter, there has never been the kind of attention bestowed on her as we have seen Tom bestow on Suri and Nicole on her daughters with Keith.Sorry guys, but cute children grow up and that doesn't mean throw them back to where they came from once they start to make you look your age. Having self absorbed, multimillionaire parents does not seem to help this girl who appears to be in dire need of guidance and love.
I think you're both forgetting the reason Bella has an "absent" mother is because Cruise and his cult poisoned Bella against her own mother. I think its a pretty safe bet that Nicole would come get her in a heart beat is Bella would let her in her life !!
Remember people, Bella is a brainwashed scientologist & this is the reason Nicole has been kept distant from her kids for over a decade, whhich is not her choice !!!!!!
All I can say how can any parent forget about their children.... Seem to me it was just a publicity stunt to get the parents names in the spotlight. Tom only wants Suri because of his Religion ,Hope Katie get Full Custody of her. As for Tom and Nichole ,they only got children adopted to them as MONEY TALKS ????Katie is the most Loving MOTHER ,you can see it in every thing she does for Suri !!!!
I believe Kidman has more to answer for ........... poor excuse for a mother. Sunday and the adopted kids (while young) are like puppies, good while they are cute. Will they too be shunned when they "grow up"? She has set her standard. Cruise is from the same mould.
Is crazy and to the two people who are asking where Nicole is? do you know remember when they divorced the kids did live with Nicole for a while but Tom obtained sole custody and thus took over the kids. Nicole Has said in numerous interviews she has wanted her kids to live with her and they talk to each other on the phone more then they see each other... It is not Nicole's fault but toms and his religion. Thats what they do. Now the kids are pretty much Adults within this religion that puts into their head they should only associate with other people who are into Scientology. That's why i am so happy for Nicole. She has found her soul mate Keith and luckily was able to have two of her own children. She always says she has Four children. Sadly Tom and The powerful Scientology cut off Connor and Bella from seeing their mother as much as they could. That's why Katie was smart enough to do what she did when leaving Tom as she learn't from Nicoles mistakes and what Tom did to her.
No doubt Nicole is focusing on Sunday Roast...err..Sunday Rose. This is why I am a bit iffy about adoption, when the parents split up, have their own kids, what happens to the adopted one?
This is really good, now its Nicole's fault. What else can we blame Nicole for ???
Nicole doesn't have custody of her first two kids, they are soley looked after by Tom, that's what Tom wanted, in case it wasn't obvious already, she lost them when they divorced which is what usually happens when scientology couples split, Katie had to plan everything ahead so it didn't happen to her.
You haven't heard...? He took them from Nicole and got his "church" of scientology to brainwash them into believing she was evil... You should read the revealing news articles online.
