'We are committed to working together as parents': Tom Cruise and Katie
Holmes reach divorce settlement behind closed doors - as she gets 'sole
custody' of Suri.

* Tom will still get significant custodial time with his daughter
* Agreement lists restrictions on what pair can tell Suri about religion
- including Scientology

Katie Holmes' lawyer has confirmed her highly-publicised divorce with
Tom Cruise has been settled, as reports emerge she will have 'sole
custody' of their six-year-old daughter Suri.

It seems the couple have reached an agreement out of court, meaning the
actor's beloved Scientology is no longer at risk of scrutiny with the
religion's secrets being dissected during a trial.

Jonathan Wolfe said: 'This case has been settled and the agreement has
been signed.'

Speaking to TMZ, he added: 'We are thrilled for Katie and her family and
are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life.

Well, how could Tom really be a Father, when he's working all the time
on back to back movies . . . making a fortune??? At least he can call
and talk to Suri & have visits with her, too! They'll probably just
tell Suri that he's working and she'll never know they got a divorce!
Katie & Tom won't have to see each other, as Suri can be taken by a
Nanny or bodyguard to see Tom! His older kids can be with him, on set or
off, too + also see/play with Suri.

Absentee parents are common in Hollyweird. It's probably stranger to
actually know who your parents are, and to spend time with them.

Ever see the ITV documentary "Hollywood Kids (part 4): Wild Children"?

Mom and dad split for months and leave behind their credit-cards as
babysitter.
Those kids have it rough, it's no wonder they often end up like River
Phoenix.

Absolutely correct, he was not a born-rich kid. But I said it is no
wonder they
(celeb's kids) often *end up* like him. IE,

fast Hollyweird lifestyle >> lotsa cash >> plenty drugs >> no
supervision >> OD.

I only mentioned RP because he's a known reference point, guess I could
have
just said "dead". :-D

How was wealth confused w/ privilege??? You lost me here... Is the movie any
good? It's one I meant to watch waaay back when, but I never got around
to it.
