I am just tired of Tom Cruise. I don’t mean this to be a insulting remark, but I have felt that in the past several years he has put himself high up on a pedestal and looks down on everybody. Fans that watched his movies 25 years ago put him where he is today. I really love Katie and Suri though, and I read all about them. I love that they are so fashionable and Suri seems to like to have her picture taken. I just wish Tom would realize that we helped him get to Superstar status.

To me I don’t really see what the big deal is, people buy things everyday, spend alot of money, and they don’t sneak around the register trying to look inconspicuous so others would not know what they are buying. Just makes Tom & Katie look guilty to me.

I agree with tom

I don’t believe that I’m ridiculous in expecting my purchases to remain my business and that of the establishment. If someone sees me buying something then blabs it all over town, so be it, but I expect store staff to handle their customers information with respect, courtesy, privacy. This wasn’t some fan blabbing to the tabloids this was a store that leaked private information and while it may not be a legal issue it certainly is a courtesy issue.

And maybe Tom doesn’t have a legal case but he can certainly make it so that no other celebrity shops in that store again as they lose their credibility. I say good for him.

I agree with the poster, that said let the cashier yell out that one of these mothers on here just bought wart medicine for their kid or pull ups for their 9 year old or a large box of condoms with spermicide and then tell me you don’t have an expectation of privacy even when shopping in a store.

There is also no such thing as shopping anonymously online. Amazon, Itunes, Macy’s.com all sell your information and usually with your permission to any and all companies they do they business with and then they sell to their friends, and so on and so on. You’re actually better off going into a store as their is much less of an electronic footprint.

when will we get a shiloh birthday post?

First off people need to understand. TOM AND KATIE ARE NOT SUING THEM. All they did was have their lawyers send them a letter asking the store to stop, and the store has said the problem has been resolved. And also if anyone does research, when the store owner did interviews she replied that the amount that Tom and Katie have spent at the store was “significantly less.” People are just being nitpicky with them, which is nothing new with them.

Yes, it’s a bad way to do business. Yes, they should have some right to privacy about their purchases… And I agree with comments above that celebs have to pick their battles but of all the things in the world they could bring their might, money and attention to, why this? We see nearly all the baby clothes in pap pictures. Cruise showed Oprah and the world through his house and even picked up a pair of ladybeetle shoes and said these are Suri’s favourites (enormous plug for that company!). It does seem to be about the public knowing the amount, rather than the individual products themselves.

I don’t even let my husband know exactly how much I spend. lol If I was a celebrity I would have to shop under an assumed name lol.
I don’t think it is neccessary to say how much they spent. (or how much I spent for that matter):) That said if I was the store I would keep my customers spending habits private so they could continue shopping and dropping those big bucks:)

Petit Tresor has made it clear they have no problem revealing their customer’s purchases. While I agree that doing so is highly unethical behavior on their part, I think Tom is at the very least surprisingly naive if he and Katie chose to drop so much money at a store with such a blabbermouth reputation expecting that their purchases would be kept private. Don’t like a store’s marketing strategies? Don’t support the store. Doing so only adds to the problem.

On another note (and I don’t expect this portion to be published), I have noticed a trend on this site that is slightly disturbing to me. When I just browsed through the last 100 comments, I came across several regarding a post about Zahara Jolie-Pitt’s hair. All the comments I read were interesting, informative, and in no way confrontational. Despite that, when I clinked on the link to the story, it had inevitably been removed from the site. Because I didn’t get to see the original story or all the following comments, I have no way of knowing whether things got out of hand. But removing this story is the latest example of what I feel is this site’s avoidance/silencing of any opinion that may not be completely PC, for lack of a better phrase. What I always enjoyed about this site was the fact that people were allowed to say what they thought as long as it wasn’t outlandish or disrespectful. The fact that the site has now taken to refusing to post comments regarding certain parenting practices, childrens’ hair styles, and continued uses of infant accessories into childhood has become outright censorship. I say this not because I wanted to post nasty comments regarding these topics-I usually don’t post at all- but because I think not allowing readers to say, “I don’t like this” or “I disagree with that” is only encouraging the mindset that the site should be all puppies and popsicles with no legitimate discussion. I don’t know why this trend has begun, but as I already said, I find it discouraging and disturbing on several levels. I don’t know how many readers feel the same, but for whatever it was worth, I wanted to say my piece. I’ve continued to read this site because there is no better when it comes to the subject and discussion of celebrity babies; now that much of the discussion has been silenced, it has me seriously contemplating whether to take my readership elsewhere.
