PENELOPE IN SHOWDOWN WITH NICOLE--OVER TOM ... SPANISH SPITFIRE'S DETERMINED TO BECOME THE NEXT MRS. CRUISE

Is this article strictly the product of demographic research on the part of The ENQUIRER? Here we have a situation where Penelope Cruz, cast as the doe-eyed heart-healer, is pitted against the scheming squint of Nicole Kidman. The close source disclosed: "For the past several months Penelope has been consumed with envy over Tom's decision to bring Nicole back into his life." Moreover, "Penelope is stick of being stuck in the 'just dating' mode--she wants a commitment from Tom."

It's a superbly written article, if only because you have all the evocations of a catfight, yet there's nothing in the story that anyone involved in this triangle could be bothered to dispute. Just tales of prima donna actresses huffing off to movie sets and whatnot, while it's Cruise who is depicted as the doting father. This is certainly perpendicular to Tom asserting that America is a "terrifying place", suggesting that he'd be moving his children out of the country.

Is Tom Cruise that much of an anti-patriot that he'd shun his Spanish munequita hanging off his arm at Hollywood premieres in order reunite with that Aussie shrew from whom he maliciously filed for divorce? All for the sake of the children, right?
