Ahhhh! Don’t we all love Lauren Bacall! And as far as I’m concerned, Nicole Kidman is one of the few to earn her legendary star. Glad to know these two women are freinds.

I love Nicole and Lauren, too.Really, truly. But “Sunday Rose”? Did this come from the “name a Sarah Palin baby file”? I’m really not feeling critical here…I mean “Willow” ain’t that bad…..and I have neighbors and (sheesh) in-laws with names like Church, Trinity Faith, Glory, Justice, Heaven Leigh (her mom claims she found it in a romance novel), Allegiance, Rapture,etc…… So I guess I’m just feeling old. Whatever happened to Alice? Margaret? Elizabeth and Bertha? I asked Heaven Leigh’s grandmother, my contemporary, what the much- anticipated- also- out- of- wedlock-different-father- baby brother’s name going to be…(ultrasound confirmation)….Hale Farrah? And y’all think you’ve got trouble relating to neighbors.

Ms Bacall tell us how your really feel about Cruise. You say it like with no regrets, good for you.

Oh, I so love Lauren Bacall, not just for her seductive exchanges with the cinemas’ most fabulouse men of film, but also for that sultry voice she whispered the full post out to shoppers to the go to Tuesday Morning Store take advantantage of elegant sale items at the shore. Peace and grace

I LOVE Lauren…she is such an awesome woman. And I also think she is one of the most beautiful women in the world! Tom Cruise is one of those examples of celebrities/stars that you get a chance to hear their personal views and they run so contrary to what you believe, it makes it difficult to see them the same as before they opened their mouths. Tom Cruise, Craig Ferguson, Mel Gibson, Bill Clinton, John Edwards…the list goes on and on of notable figures that have fallen off my list of favorites. I realize everyone has a right to their opinions, but just like we differ on this website, so too does it happen with celebrities and politicians.

Betty Bacall, dahling, I’ve always loved you. dear. Maniac? Tom should consider that a compliment compared what you COULD have called him. No worries, dahling. I’ll say it. In the Cruise/Kidman family, we now KNOW one was an Oscar winning actor, and the other - a hanger-on. Ahahahahah!

It is interesting that not only does Tom Cruises behavior seem erratic and different to those of us not involved in show business but from Lauren Bacalls comments it is interesting to know we are not the only ones. I used to be a big fan but he just got a little bizarre to me the issue he had with Brooke Shields is but one example when I thought earth to Tom what planet are you on to criticize her for using antidepressants because she was dealing with post postpartum depression. I am glad Nicole Kidman is happy she deserves to be, she did seem so sad for so long. I think many of us felt bad for her. I think at that point I lost some respect for Tom Cruise.

Nicole was hurt by that divorce, but Lauren is correct. Nicole should be thanking her lucky stars that Tom is not jumping all over her furniture.

Carol L - love the avitar…and agree with you, again. I never could stomach Cruise, frankly. I remember everyone in Hawaii going ga-ga over him until I realized it wasn’t the natives, just the mainland women, and … military men! LOL@that. He’s a strange one for sure, but did anyone ever think that it may be his game to keep all eyes on him? He’s not that dim, just somewhat out of touch.

I recall once when Tom Cruise appeared at the US Open In NYC to watch Jennifer Capriati play a tennis match. Poor Jennifer was still star struck and vulnerable then at probably age 16 and was visibly enthralled with the movie star. The audience all gushed when Cruise was seated. I was not. Good actor, though. Lauren Bacall has always been a favorite. I was so disappointed in her interview with “The Actors’ Studio”. I do remember once when Andy Rooney was doing one of his closing comments on 60 minutes and his topic of discussion was who was a “superstar” versus who was simply a “star”. “Guess what”, he said as he got up from his desk and walked toward the door, “Bogie was the superstar while Ms. Bacall”, he continued as he opened his office door and slipped through, “was only a movie star”, and then he closed the door. I guess he feared the tomatoes would soon reach from TV screens into his office and if I could have done it, I would have threw one right at his “mug face”. She is a terrific actress…..but maybe Andy was right about being a superstar, though I hate to admit it.

I “back all” that “Bacall” has to say…about anything. I love her.

Betty, Betty, Betty, Love ya, girl! Tell it like it is…Tom Cruise needs a good slap upside his head.

Actors are notorious for bizarre behaviors, perhaps not so much for a legend like Lauren Bacall. Tom Cruise brought up some controversial points about an accepted profession and all of a sudden he is the devil. Prior to this though, wasn’t he snubbed by the Academy after some great performances like Jerry Maguire, A Few Good Men and others? Maybe he just rubs people the wrong way, but he’s good at what he does. Now the Nicole situation…well, at least she appears happy now.
