Morton biography: Kidman cold, petulant, moody diva

[justlooking]

^ i don't think they're equating it as you say. her alleged diva, petulant behaviour is related to her wanting caviar on the jet, or being demanding of Tom or whatever for some reason.

A few years ago when they divorced or maybe it was before i remember there being a taped phone conversation between her and Tom Cruise in which she was angry at him for not buying her flowers anymore or something like that. I think she was quite rude and demeaning. Some of the transcript was published in a gossip magazine here in Australia but i think TCruise managed to stop any further publication or whatever.

I've never seen her as moody or petulant.

She seems like 'lady', and not in a 'bad' sense.

As for the older children not being used as photo ops any more.. I remember reading that Isabella and Connor resented the fact that their parents were celebrities and that they were embarrassed to be seen out and about with them...

I remember that too. Their kids even wanted to changed their last name according to either Tom Cruise's or Nicole Kidman's interview.

Well..this does concur with stories published much earlier about her.
But, reading this i found myself thinking this might be fulled up from Tom's side. With all the neg publicity he's getting for the whole scio-stuff i cannot restrain myself from thinking Tom had something with this publishing. He's very much seen in positive light, and i'm not saying it's not true (someone confirmed this in fact) but still.. there's a little bug inside me

Some people just aren't the parenting type. That does not make you a bad person, and it certainly doesn't make you cold, petulant, or moody.

If you're not "the parenting type", why adopt? Why get pregnant?

On the other hand, I agree. Noone is really talking about (famous) fathers who neglect their kids or choose career over them.

I did feel bad for Nicole the way Tom just left her behind...he didn't even tell her to her face about the divorce.

 

[lemeray]

Well giving birth to a child and adopting kid is different and not every parent is going to feel equally the same towards their biological child and adopted kid in some cases but then you seen Brad & Angelina who declared they love all their children equally and you can see that...Ive heard of people giving back their adopted kids obviously adopting kids for Nicole didnt fullfil her as a "parent"...guess she really wants her own kids...

I wonder why he did that too, maybe he really did leave her for Penelope, maybe...I cant believe those two went out, seemed like it never happened

i doubt Tom is spreading rumours. The book says negative things about him (even worse) and they're not even going to release it in australia and other countries because of potential legal action.

I agree with you, but Tom seems like the type who wants kids, and maybe she caved into the pressure

 

[justlooking]

hmm...she says she's wanted a baby of her own since she was 17.

No time to read all this thread but I can assure you she IS a petulant diva.
My friend´s brother is public relations at this posh hotel in London where she always stays...uff...no words to describe her attitude towards people.
But however...who else could act like a diva nowadays? she is my idea of a hollywood star.
I mean, Spanish actress Paz Vega is not much better as a person and she is still a nobody!

ooh.. i didn't know those things regarding publishing, yeah..i guess you're right then

 

[heroine]

What bothers me is how people would buy into those "Nicole Kidman finally going to be a mother"-machinery (and it's the same with Tom Cruise) - Maybe both of them try to do something against it, but I have heard T.C. actually answering questions like "How does it feel to be a father" (after Suri was born)- and, after all, he's been a father for what, 13 years or so?? Caring parent or not

elenab, I agree, we need divasB) With her money and fame (and all that lunacy), I'd be insufferable as well - and, after all, people are either lovely or they're not. period.

*edit* The only one of that family that I like is Suri anyway

more details please

 

[eternitygoddess]

I don't buy this.

Usually people base their assumptions on a star on one brief moment. And who knows, the celebrity could be pissed off during that moment or not feeling very nice.

After all, how many of us feel pissed off each day?

 

[LUXXX]

I just finished the book and Nicole doesn't come off so bad though...Scientology does and ended up kind of freaking me out.

The attitude of the media towards adopted children is absolutely disgusting. Angelina is always being called "the mother of Brad's child" or vice versa- she is the mother of his children, actually! Whenever you see celebrities with their adopted kids captioned in magazines, they will always say "Jane Doe with adopted daughter...". Why does it matter whether the child is adopted or not? It's ridiculous and sends a terrible message. It is an issue that really annoys me as I have several adopted siblings. Sorry for the rant!

 

[Ashcottmanor]

I wholeheartly agree. She seems distant yes, but we know she's extremely shy. It's annoying how people always call quiet women "cold and arrogant". Same happened with Carolyn Bessette.

Yes thank you! People seems to assume that other people who are shy are cold, standoffish, or stuck up. This is not the case at all! And actually there are quite a lot of pictures of Nicole and Tom with their kids doing various activities while they were still married and pictures of just Nicole and her kids after the divorce. I find this assumption about her ridiculous.
And as for not seeing them now, I am not sure about that maybe Tom is respecting Nicole's right to have some alone time with her new husband.
Plus I heard since the kids are home schooled by Tom's sister and all their Scientology exercises are in LA it's hard for them to get away to her. Also Sceintologists (which the kids are because of Tom) are not very willing to socialize with outsiders. And we quickly forget that the kids spent the last summer with Nicole in Australia.
Morton doesn't always tell the truth hmph.B)

But I am sure your friend's brother could come up with stories about non celebs being just as moody.
Everyone has their days.
And if you are paying big bucks to stay in a posh hotel you want the best!

Aren't Scientologists even told they are superior people for being Scientologist and those who aren't are lesser beings?
Maybe it's the kids that want nothing to do with her.
