Estranged

TOM CRUISE HAS BEEN THINKING ABOUT ESTRANGED DAUGHTER SURI

Katie Holmes recently denied a report in a UK tabloid that her daughter Suri recently inherited millions of dollars from a trust fund set up by her father Tom Cruise. As part of her divorce settlement from Tom, Katie insisted he set up a trust fund for Suri and while there are conflicting reports over whether Suri cashed out, a more interesting angle is that after years of no communication, Tom is itching to get Suri back in his life. According to our inside source, Tom knows Suri is interested in acting and fashion, so behind-the-scenes he’s let it be known that there’s a job for her on any of his next movies if she’s interested. My source adds that Tom will either give his daughter a small part in a movie or a job in the wardrobe department. We can’t help but wonder what Tom thinks about Suri changing her last name from Cruise to Noelle (mom’s middle name) before she went off to college…

CAN OPRAH PUT CHER’S FAMILY BACK TOGETHER?

Cher is Turning 78-years-old on May 20, and all she wants for her birthday is to reconcile with her kids, Chaz and Elijah Blue. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Cher has turned to her longtime pal, Oprah Winfrey, for help! Cher and Oprah go back for decades, developing a friendship after numerous appearances on Oprah’s former daytime talk show. In fact, Cher and her then daughter Chastity who later transitioned into Chaz, appeared on Oprah to talk about their complicated mother/daughter relationship. Oprah has advised Cher through the years, so once again she’s turned to her for help on how to put her family back together. Don’t be too surprised if it happens, and we expect to see Cher and her kids talking about it on one of Oprah’s regular television interview specials.

CANDY SPELLING IS DELIGHTED THAT TORI IS NOW SINGLE

Tori Spelling and her mom Candy have finally made up after years of being estranged. Candy recently told a reporter on the red carpet that she’s finally prepared to financially support Tori and her kids, so they’ll never have to worry about money again, now that Tori is divorcing her soon-to-be ex- husband, Dean McDermott. Candy has made no secret of the fact that she wasn’t a fan of Dean’s, but that’s not the only reason for her financial change of heart. At 78-years-old, Candy is starting to realize that she doesn’t want to live alone, and it would be a good idea to live with family members. After selling that huge Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills, California, Candy moved into a penthouse condo in nearby Century City, but now she’s looking for a house in her old neighborhood so she Tori and Tori‘s children can all live together. Tori got lucky.

TIME FOR MEGHAN MARKLE TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

Remember WHERE you read this when it happens, as Meghan Markle is confiding to friends that she’s ready to make peace with her ailing father Thomas! The 79-year-old patriarch isn’t in the best of health, and Meghan’s biggest fear is that she will never forgive herself if her dad passes away before they reconcile. Plus, Meghan knows the optics of her father dying with them on the outs will make her look as bad as she feels. Behind very closed doors, Meghan has asked her mom (Thomas’s ex-wife, Doria Ragland) to offer an olive branch. Time has begun to heal this wound and while Meghan will never forget what she feels Thomas did to her, she knows she HAS to forgive him for many reasons…

WOODY ALLEN HAS TO BE PROUD OF HIS SON FROM A DISTANCE

Woody Allen has to be filled with regret when he thinks about his estranged son – and only biological child- with Mia Farrow. Ronan Farrow, 23, changed his name from Satchel and chose not to associate with his father after Woody married his sister Soon-Yi. It so happens Ronan inherited brains from both parents and was a child prodigy. At the age of 11 Ronan went to Bard College and at 16 was accepted to Yale Law School. He’s a humanitarian and activist at the UN working for UNICEF. Yesterday he was honored with a Rhodes Scholarship and will continue his education at Oxford. And he’s GOOD LOOKING! Woody really missed out on this one.

HALLE BERRY HAS NO CONTACT WITH THE BLACK SIDE OF HER FAMILY

Halle Berry’s problems with men started early, when she recalls her father as a violent alcoholic who beat her mother. Jerome Berry left the family in Cleveland when Halle was four. Halle had half siblings from her father’s previous marriage, but eventually lost touch with them and Jerome’s other relatives. Halle refused to visit her father, a hospital porter, when he lay dying from Parkinson’s disease a few years ago. Now her half sister Renee Berry says that Halle has been totally estranged from the black side of her family for YEARS, in spite of their attempts to contact her. Odd, for a woman who considers herself and her baby black.

WHEN ZSA ZSA FELL OUT OF BED, PRINCE FREDERIC CALLED THE PRESS BEFORE HE CALLED 911

Various websites have been writing that Zsa Zsa Gabor and her daughter Francesca Hilton have had a “deathbed reunion” after being estranged for many years. In fact, they have never been estranged. For the past eight years, while Zsa Zsa has been confined at her home, she’s been on the phone with her daughter just about every day. Sources tell us that Zsa Zsa’s eccentric husband Frederic Von Anhalt refuses to allow Francesca to come into the house to see her mother- hence the phone relationship. Francesca was at the hospital every day with Zsa Zsa while Frederic was out having press conferences. We were frankly horrified to learn that Frederic invited paparazzi to witness Zsa Zsa being brought home in an ambulance, looking and feeling awful. Many unflattering photos were taken. Despite dire predictions, for the time being Zsa Zsa is eating and recovering at home. Incidentally, there seems to be no truth to the Prince’s claim that he and Zsa Zsa were victims of Bernie Madoff.
