The last thing the world needs is another post about Tom Cruise, but tonight I read something that I just had to share.
Tom Cruise is an authority-undermining bastard.
See, little Dakota Fanning had been asking her parents to get her a cellphone for a while, but they wouldn’t let her have one. It seems they are actually pretty sensible; they feel that an 11 year old doesn’t need to have a cellphone. I would have to agree with them.
Well, Tom decided that since he liked her so very much, and that they’re great buds he would buy her one for her birthday, despite the fact that her parents didn’t approve.
She says, “Tom gave me a cell phone, so that was really cool. My mom and dad wouldn’t let me have a cell phone but Tom got me one for my birthday!
“It’s really funny, ‘cause on my cell phone I pretend that I’m on the phone when I’m not and I’ll pretend that I have messages when I’m just out on the street.”
I kinda wish that I was her father so I could punch Tom Cruise right in his crooked face and tell him to call up Nicole Kidman and undermine her authority for a while. Oh, and also because if I was her father, I’d be really rich because Dakota is a really great actor. I would be very proud of her.
