Supposedly, Tom Cruise has a fleet of cars that all look normal on the outside, but in reality they are bomb-proof. Keeping his family safe is important to him and I guess he believes bomb-proof cars are necessary for the type of life he lives. All celebrities know that they have to be more careful than the rest of us. This makes me wonder though, if and how many, threats Cruise has had against him.
One insider has told In Touch, “A-list celebrities know they can’t be too careful. Tom’s vehicles look perfectly normal, but in reality they are more like armored trucks. He really, really loves his cars and he can afford the best.”
Cruise does have a professionally trained drivers who know how to get out of traffic problems and protect him from trouble. But Cruise also likes to drive his family places himself.
“Tom is a car nut,” the insider adds. “He has practical everyday cars, classic collectibles and high-powered sports cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo. Of course he loves every minute behind the wheel, but he’s not stupid and he’s not going to take any chances while he’s driving.”
Man, all I have to worry about is people running red lights and the day my kids get their licenses.

He has to worry with people starting sites dedicated to hating him and calling Suri deformed and a Rosemary baby.
All I’ve to say is…In Touch??
Lauren, do you take this stuff to every thread? You are the FIRST poster in this thread and I am starting to think that you rehash the negative stuff more than some of us who are not TC lovers do. TC has always had a reputation for being very security heavy. I think it is a bit much to have your cars looking like a hearse-windows curtained up, bomb proofed, security everywhere. And although that story shows him in the driver’s seat-there aren’t many pictures of him driving around anymore and none of Katie driving anywhere. Then you see someone like Jen Garner and Violet out and about doing their thing, stopping at the atm machine, playing and laughing together, her driving them where they want to go… And most of the guests that came to the house-warming–hmm drove themselves! Even Kirstie Alley! It does make one wonder why Katie doesn’t just go out and about with Suri. Could TC be a BIT paranoid?? All that security seems like it would feel like prison in a way. Even AJ-and don’t jump on me cuz I am not a fan- is pictured out and about with the kids in tow. Even Victoria B, yep out and about with her boys. Julia Roberts, out of the Hollywood scene, but once in a while you see her out and about with the kids. I can not think of one other Hollywood personality that is so totally bizarre about security. I have seen pictures of BrittBritt with a security person, but then without as well. I am sure they all have a level of security around them because they are more vulnerable than us ‘regular’ folksm but specially built BOMB-proofed??? vehicles and specially trained drivers-like something out of a spy book-strange…
I would call Jay Leno a ‘car nut’. He has a car collection that is just unreal!
Maybe tc is more involved in his cos then anyone really knows. To have bomb proof cars is along the lines of the Pope-Mobile. Which I do NOT put tc in the same category as the Pope.
con mom.. i don’t think you can compare the attention that violet and jen garner or julia and her kids receive from the paps to that of suri idon’t think aj takes her kids outin LA,different countries,yes. you seem to have very selective memory. there are hundreds of pictures of suri in germany, france,the italian alps. no one tells the other celeb mothers that they’re pimping their child. brangelina have double the security that tc has. if katie takes suri out, anywhere, the whole outing is disected to death. those oher children,you mention, except for shilo , never make the front cover of any magazine their clothes or hair are never discussed ,like suris’ are. ….i don’t know if the other kids have a fan site on the web dedicated to them,their life , outings ,clothes, toys…suri does. you also see nannies tagging along with violet and brangelina , only once ,i’ve seen ,someone other than tc and kh with suri. this little girl is obviously ,behaved well enough to go to dinner , concerts,plays,soccer matches, and playdates with other children that we don’t get to see , she probably has a whole toy store full of toys, swings and slides in her backyard ,she flies in planes and helicopters, and she lives with her mum ,dad ,sister ,brother ,grandmother ,aunty, 2 cousins……..that ’s alot of love and attention there. and what i love , about suri, when she’s tired, she just dozes off, no fuss……….maybe con mom,you don’t notice, but there is an underlying current that comes through in your posts,that starts me thinking sometimes.
Speaking of Violet, the cutest new pic of her & Jen can be seen here –
http://babyrazzi.com/baby/category/jennifer-garner-ben-afflecks-baby/
I just love that little girl!
Come to think of it……I cannot recall ever seeing a pic of KH driving a vehicle post TC…… this is neither good or bad. Just a neutral observation. Has anyone ever seen otherwise? Now, I am curious!!!
made a mistake, i have seen someone else hold suri, her grandfather, in tiergarten park in germany.
I remember a time when Katie and her handler came out of Kitsons. Katie got in the front passenger seat and her handler got in the drivers seat of the SUV. This was just after she had Suri. Ever since then, whether alone or with someone, she always gets in the back seat of the gas guzzling SUV.
It would be SO much better for the environment if they would drop the 6 MPG black SUV and drive in a Prius when they are just driving around town.
I think bomb proof cars is overboard for a regular actor.
Is it maybe because of his high ranking in his cult?
An insider told In Touch? then Ok I’ll believe the story. :rolleyes:
Yes TC is security tight and Branglina is too…the two celebrity family we can actually compare, when it comes to the paps and when you’ve a lot of people following you everywhere as well as stalkers to worry about you have to be more careful.
Katie does go out and about with Suri (with the media going into frenzy all the time). C.mom most of the celebs you just mention have their bodyguards with them too when they go out…except maybe JR.
I will repeat, no one hasw set up hate sites for any other celebrity apaert from Tom and Katie. No other celebrity even Brangelina have sick people who hate them with a venom and spread hate on them even mainstream madia people like Roger Friedman. That warrants bomb proof cars if you ask me.
Con mom, my point is relevant to this thread. You are always rehashing your comment about Suri’s behaviour on every thread whether relevant or not and am not complaining. Haven’t seen Angelina drive since she got with Brad Pitt, she was staying in a flat in London now she is leasing out castles on a salary of 14 million pounds a year, less than Reese Witherspoon or Britney and Radcliffe and a host of other stars who earn much much more than her and Brad Pitt combined. I guess Tom and Katie are so lucky to have so many people care about them.
Con mom would you be worried about Katie if she was married to Charlie Sheen? Doing drugs or married to Pete Kate Moss’ ex or Marilyn Manson Let me guess, No, you wouldn’t even know her.
Apparently JG locked Violet inside her car while they were out shopping…imagine if that was Katie? Hell will freeze over! lol
Hana, I agree with you on that one. I believe it boils down to reputation.
KH is a more of a c-list actress compared to A-list JG. And kh is not allowed to drive herself around. She is driven in bomb proof cars.
Jenn has freedoms that kh is not privy to.
OMG Hana, it would be a world news headline even broadcast on CNN and BBC. Fox news would not have the last of it. Top psychologists would weigh in on the lasting effects on Suri and many posters here would watch out for any behavioural changes in Suri and coonect them to the incident. In the end they would say scientology has affected her mind. Gosh or gosh, we would never have the last of it.
But with Jen, we laugh and admit it has happened to the best of us. End of it.
Puck, do you know what they used as a meter for those lists? Newsworthiness. You may not like her but KH is more newsworthy than Jen, who I must say I like.
Besides Jen does not have non fans running around the internet trying to get every one to hate her or wish death on her child or call her husband mental or fans who wish her marriage ends. No need for bomb proof cars.
Puckhappy, what a way to reply to my post. :rolleyes:
Julie, why are ppl allowed to pick on Lauren? I think that is what Darin is doing.
Lauren take the high road.
In fact…. Why don’t we talk about the subject at hand. In this case, car nut tommy being driven around town in GAS GUZZLING SUV’s, that may or may not be bomb proof. (which IF they are, lowers the MPG’s significantly.)
*Comment edited by moderator – please don’t be rude to other posters*
In reading all of the comments, the most negative ones about kh and tc are written by the same posters. Those same posters are posting the hate and then blaming the others.
How does one know for that none other actors have h8 sites?
Would one have to search the net daily to make sure?
I think that only a negative person would want to know about h8 and actively search for it.
Can we say ridiculous? I am referring to the story AND about 20 of the posts here.
Question: Are they Thetan proof too? LOL
Sorry, I had to throw that one in!!
TC has already shown his true colors, many times over. This latest outburst should not surprise anyone. The Matt Lauer wasn’t an isolated incident. Read the Rolling Stones interview of a few years ago, and of course that recent video, which was not supposed to be seen by SPs.
Tyler: What true colors?
TC has shown he is passionate about many things. He is not at times the most articulate in communicating how he feels about things though.
Please discuss the issue without being rude to other posters. It is possible to disagree on a subject and discuss it with respect. Thank you.
I think it is a good idea for Tom to drive a hearse in a bomb proof car. As we see from Valyrie,
those at the top can be targeted, like in the
Hitler movie, there can be enemies from within.
Thanks Hana, I will.
Julie, is Puck allowed to call Tom nut Tommy?
FYI, the hate sites were posted here by non fans. If you know any other celeb with hate sites, please do mention them.
Tyler, if a vidoe was not meant for your eyes and you saw it, how then can you turn around and cry foul?
*comment edited by moderator*
Lauren, the fact is he said the things he said and he believes them. You say your not part of the CoS so I’m really surprised that it doesn’t bother you since he was talking about you as much as the next person. You can spin in til you’re blue if the face, but those are the facts. BTW, I didn’t go looking for it. That video was EVERYWHERE.
Lauren – I think PuckHappy was saying “car nut tommy”, not just nut tommy.
Sure, she may have been calling him a nut, but I can only read between the lines so much with everyone’s comments.
Hope you understand.
Thank you Julie. I was referring to tom as car-nut tommy just as the title of this thread refers to him as a car nut. I also called Jay Leno a car nut.
There are NO lines to read between with my posts. They say what they say. No hate involved. Sorry to disappoint.
Puck, I am gutted. LOL.
No seriously, thanks Puck and Julie for clearing that up.
Tyler, if I decided to hate or be bothered by every evangelical or jihadist who said their faith was the absolute truth and the rest of us will be wiped out, I will be blue in the face. LOL
There are so many cults in this country that I find dangerous. Look at those mormons from Texas whose kids have babies from their fathers and uncles, you should be setting up sites to save those, not over indulged celebrities who lose their money. What has Jason Beghe lost since he joined that he would not have lost if her had resorted to drugs.
To me this is an excuse to attack Tom Cruise, he is better than you, has fame and fortune, knock him down a peg or two. Most non fans visit TC sites on a daily basis but comment once in a while on these so called anti scientology sites. That gives. Did I mention that most also freely admit to taking anti depressants? Meaning their lives are not rosy. So what do they do? Try to force another member into the club by knocking him his high horse. It is simple logice. No one wants to see others happy when their lives are anything but. The rest, saving Katie and Suri, fighting scientology etc are veils for their conscience.
Interesting comment. Not deciding to hate or be bothered by someone is quite different than revering them. And, the fact that TC has money does not make him better than me. That’s not what defines a person in my world. To each his own. Wow.
Puckhappy – I was amused with your comment regarding the “gas guzzling SUV’s”, because this is the same thought I always have when ever I hear about them taking jets/planes everywhere! So many celebrities are “talking green” these days, and yet others (more that just TC/KH mind you) are traveling the world, a stop in Italy for dinner, coffee in Paris, a hotel stay in Rome, etc… LOL!
I understand the fact of not being able to fly commercial (at least coach) because you’d never get a minute’s peace, but I always marvel at the planes and the cost that one must factor in. (I’ll be honest with ya, I’m quite the tight wad, LOL!!)
*Katie*, The hollywood type can fly commercial. The Beckhams do all the time and you can’t get anymore globally known then that couple!
I work for an airlines and about 7 years or so ago, Sarah Ferguson, Dutchess of York, was doing a tour and was on our airlines. She and her staff had bought the entire first class section so they could have the privacy needed.
Both tc and the AJ-P clan can do the same thing and help with conservation.
Tyler- you’re right- wow!
Family safety is important to everyone. Tom Cruise afford bomb-proof cars for his family? WOW, THATS SO COOL!!!
Not deciding to hate or be bothered by someone is quite different than revering them.
_________________________________________
Not revering is one thing, visitng their sites EVERY DAY to take a swipe at them is quite another. I could never do that. That is energy and that power can be conserved to saved the world.
I do get the point about conservation. These stars say one thing and do another. Atleast Tom and Katie don’t pretend about it. Still they should invent more enviromentally friendly fuel in that case.
Can the duchess of York afford privat jets? Don’t kill me, I am just curious.

—————–
Lauren, YOU visit this site HOURLY to take multiple PERSONAL swipes at posters you have labeled as haters.
You continue to accuse many of visiting other, what YOU call hate sites. Now unless YOU too are visiting them, then how would you know this?
And if you are a REAL fan, why do you even acknowledge a hate site might possibly exist?
Unless of course you are a hate site mod and you get paid based on the amount of hits the site gets? hmmmm
LOL Puck, you forget that these hate sites were posted here. I have been to a couple of these like freekatie but my dear, people there are very angry. Besides it is those who visit them who told us about them. Thou protest too much.
I come here to catch up on Tomkat news, I am a fan, it is my guilty pleasure, that is what fans do. If I did not find , snide remarks, innuendo and lies being told about Tom, I would not say anything, I would gush and move on. Try it sometime and you would see. Why are you so scared of someone telling the other side of the coin? Exposing those lies?
Where is it written that a fan cannot know about hate sites? I have never come across so called non fans. Infact I think only Tom and Katie have them. Still wonder why they do not content themselves with hate sites but have to hop from thread to thread on all celebrity sites trying to trash a couple for three years now. The victims of the cyclone in Burma and earth quake in China and Japan today could use some of that time.
Puck: It’s called “trolling.”
Lauren, I do not for a moment believe you come here for Tomkat news since the news here is somewhat scanty. Just my opinion, but well based having been exposed to you for some time now. I honestly believe you have made this your mission (hopefully not in life). You’re frank and honest, please expect the same from others.
wow. It seems to have been an interesting couple of days here. Whew.. Did you ask me earlier about Charlie Sheen, Lauren? Would I rather Katie be married to someone like him?? Umm NOPE! I think Hollywood-fakeworld is an awful place to look for a mate, but I would have to say TC and Charlie would be on the top of the NO list. Interesting choice to put up against TC tho. Why not someone sort of on the nice, sort of normal list??
That is like suggesting maybe George Clooney-the serial dater! Odd choice. Can’t think of too many actually nice normal hollywood folks, but I did like the guy who played Pacey in DC.. Joshua Jackson just turned 30 and like Katie was doing before TC, is developing a pretty nice steady career with some interesting parts. They were cute and FUN looking together.
laauren actually got me thinking when she said that tk are the only celebrity couple with dedicated haters. don’t know if it’s a fact, but if it is true, then why???????????? what is the essence of this reaction to tk? just a question.
Actually, Lauren, you might not heard of them but there are so many celebrity hate sites, to name a few, Bill Gates, Oprah, Nicole Kidman…plus Brangelina, GC, many blogs that are dedicated on hating celebs in general. The only reason you might think its only TK is because you’re a fan and only follow TK.
Tia, thanks for the information. All I can say is wow, so many unhappy people out there. No wonder many celebrities are off the internet. Too many angry people.
Con Mom, using that comparison, I just wanted to highlight the fact that I do not believe for one moment that you care about Katie because if she was married to someone as bad as Charlie sheen, you would not be trying to actively ’save’ her. Marilyn Manson (am not comparing him to TC, just an example) is dating an 18 year old. He is 39 and a satanist. Why aren’t you trying to save her? If it is a cult, what about that Texas mormon cult? Haven’st seen you denouncing them on any site.
Tyler, I welcome being frank with me, no I don’t think this is the most upto date site on Tom and Katie. I still like it. Especially now that it is a fan site.
I too doubt catching up is the reason you are here. Yes I have made it my mission to defend Tom here and thwat any lies told about him and his family on site. Initially it was another Tomkat site I visited as a fan, now, I come to see what new lies non fans are telling, then let the truth be known. (BTW George Bush went to Harvard and that texas cult is Mormon according to the news).
While you are questioning , motives, what are yours? I wonder what brings you here every hour on the hour. I stopped questioning people’s motives since it become an unfomfortable question for some but since you brought it up, I kick the ball back to you.
“No wonder many celebrities are off the internet. Too many angry people.”
Yes, so many celebs like Harrison ford, Scarlet Johansen, George Clooney and so on have said that they don’t check the internet anymore because way too many angry.
