Katie Holmes has hired Tom Cruise‘s adopted daughter as an apprentice at her fashion label Holmes & Yang. Isabella “Bella” Cruise, 18, is still learning her way around the company. “Kate’s designing and [Bella] is just working her way up,” Tom Cruise told people.com at the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Museum of Tolerance National Tribute Dinner in Beverly Hills Thursday, where he was joined by Holmes and Connor, the son he adopted with Nicole Kidman. “She’s an artist, Bella, so it’s really great that she gets to work with it,” he said, added that he’s proud of his daughter’s new design aspirations. “She’s loving it.”

    So nice to be adopted/born into the right family. Most people’s kids get to work at Burger King.

    @anonymous2 Katie’s a real trooper to be doing that for so long, her arms must be tank by now.

    ive mentioned this a few times, but some people clearly havent given it a thought so ill mention it again.

    the reason she is carrying suri probably has more to do with the fact that she is always surrounded by people taking pictures, suri is probably scared or katie is probably worried she might wander off into the mob of people that are always surrounding her and get kidnapped or something. im not really sure who we are that we have the right to question her motives for the way she raises her child.

    I agree somewhat with you Mandee. It’s okay to be protective of your child, but in some cases you CAN go too far. It’s not beneficial to raise kids in a bubble or to hold their hand all the way through life. That will surely do more harm than good in the long run. Children need to learn how to “walk on their own two feet”.

    i agree with you, my baby would never be carried until that age, but to each their own really.
