She looks weird in these pictures. How is a BABY a VERY STRONG WOMAN???

A strong woman??? That child has never had to be strong in her life!!! This is ridiculous.

Strong woman? And Magical? Either she isn't changing a multitude of diapers or she is on some happy pills

over the top

no the answers sounds programmed and scripted. im sorry but "a strong women" that is too bizarre.

i like her outfit!
she should thanx Suri bcuz i know lots of people who like her only bcuz of Suri include myself lol but no seriously she looks gud most of da time

you can only use the "amazing" synonyms so much in a sentence. she needs a new word added to her vocab, apparently powerful is one of it, unfortunately, that doesn't cut it well.

Robobride has drunk the kool aid.

There's nothing wrong with her talking about this all the time but there is something very weird about what/how she talks about these things.

doting mom is cool, but describing your little girl as a strong woman when she is still a toddler makes absolutely no sense.

I think both - moms always talk about their babies way too much but then again a lot of the sh*t she says sounds like programmed scientology-speak!

And dude, she is getting so THIN, she's starting to look like Paula Abdul.

blob..hail xenu!!

I think all moms talk alot about there babies. She is proud of her daughter. I do think strong woman was a weird comment but who know's what she really said and what the whole conversation was.

WAY over the top.
Wow, she is looking very fragile...

i think that she's just a loving mother - she has to devote herself to something...and i think that it's a good cause

She always looks very put together and classy HOWEVER some of her statements are a bit bold for my tastes seeing as Suri is only a toddler. There is nothing wrong with building your children up but this seems slightly over the top considering there are many women being recognized as "strong" who have been through so much more then a baby could have.

Totally off subject but i just saw on another site that Christina has checked into the hospital to have her baby.

I don't think it's that weird considering all the negative press they got in the beginning. She's just gushing and she's a new mom, don't they all do that? Here's one for you, if you don't want to hear her gush her baby and family life...DON'T FREAKING ASK THE QUESTION!!!

Praise Xenu, i see nothing wrond with Kate answers

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Cruise compound, er house.

Although I have no clue about Katie Holmes' relationship with Suri, I think it is sad that women have to act like motherhood is the most magical fascinating thing in their lives. I read a very interesting article by a British journalist who became a stay at home mother after her children were bored. When she admitted that she found being a stay at home mother of small children rather mundane and not at all as fascinating as she expected to it be, she was met with scorn and disdain by other mothers. I am not a mother myself, but I can see how having a small child is not always the most mentally stimulating experience - yet, women who say this outloud are cold and unloving. Just because watching your kid sit in a circle and color or clap with other kids is not the most amazing or challenging thing you have ever done, you are a bad person. I think comments like Katies (that the fact Suri is coloring is "magical") contribute to the expectations that having a child will fulfill every aspect of a woman's life, and that she is somehow dysfuntional if she admits that while she loves her child, he or she is not always interesting.

bored = born (freudian slip?)

Her and Tom are just extremely positive over the top weirdos. She however is absolutely stunning.

She creeps me out. It is one thing to dote it is entirely different to talk about a child like she is a grown woman.

I think it's fine that she's gushing all the time about her marriage and her baby, calling a child magical isn't over the top, since I've heard childbirth described that way. But calling a child a very strong woman? That's definately pushing it, wait till she's actually a woman for that.

Strange answer when referring to a toddler...I really like Katie, but she's very different from the Katie before Tom...I really miss her!

see things would have been different if she said "she will be a strong woman"... then that would've eased off the scrutiny.

how can she be over the top? i don't understand what's wrong with letting people know how much you love your family?! she's doing much better than her peers!

i'd like to believe that it's legit but there have been so many "weird" things that she's said as of late. i'm torn on this one.

I don't think the comment was over-the-top when you consider that scientology says that children are really little adults. However, I do think Tom and Katie are over-the-top.

I've no doubt that she loves her daughter & I know all moms gush over their kids, but this is just bizzare.

I think she's sincere in her love of her child, but her choice of words is so phoney baloney, and the words do sound programmed, as if she's trying to give off this wise-woman affect. She is trying to break out on her own a bit, methinks, but she does herself such a disservice with that language. BTW I think she looks great lately!

All her comments are ridiculous, she sounds like a robot, spouting off what she thinks we all want to hear. I can't stand them, and feel so bad for their little experiment Suri. She deserves better than Tom and Katie.

I guess there are a lot of complete cynics out there who cannot fathom a first-time mother still in awe of her child, even after more than a year. I think this is a good thing, especially for Suri, to have a mom who is her biggest fan. Yes, there are a lot of strange things about Tom Cruise and his religion, but Katie's enrapture with her beautiful little girl is as normal as you can get. Good for both of them.

Kate kep on gushing about your meal ticket

Woman???? Did we miss about 20 years of Suri's life...

She's a monster. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I love her in both of them ( MoM & over the top)

What is WRONG with you women? Why must we bash Katie when all she's doing is focusing on the right things - her family. When I read that she thinks Suri is a strong woman, I thought "what a beautiful thing to say about your daughter." Not just "my child is pretty" but she is a strong woman. Why can't she say those words without being made fun of? Perhaps you should think about how you'd describe your children and where your values are.

i think that she really really really like to talk about her famliy, i find it a little boring but , i don't think that is wrong or strange just boring.

There's nothing wrong with talking about your family life and your kids and gushing about them at times. However, as a stay at home mom of a 3-year old, I can say with certainty that if Katie was having a playdate with other mothers and all she could talk about was how "amazing" her family life is and how "magical" her daughter is and that's all she ever said, she wouldn't be asked back. All of the moms that I know bond much more over the tough times we have with our kids...although we do talk about the good times, too. Mom's would much rather hear about the child that decided to go potty standing up for the first time, completely missing the toilet and going everywhere than about a toddler who is creative and magical because she colors.

Strong woman? Que?

Mom's dont talk like that about thier babies...she never say's ooh shes so cute or she's starting to walk so she getting in everything....NO. Its a how speech on how she learns things from a baby and amazing and shes super duper happy! gimmie a break.

I would not describe my 3 year old daughter as a woman just yet.....

Hey I think many of us who've commented on this one ARE moms and ARE our own kids' biggest fans. Maybe it's impossible to sound natural talking about one's children to the press, but even as someone who adores her daughters beyond belief, I would not say things like that. Anyway I think it's either the Scientology talking or yet another sign that Katie is not quite comfortable in her position.

you know what...you're either damned if you do, damned if you don't. it's one thing to criticize if someone's an unfit mother, but can we really sit here an scrutinize this woman for wanting to be the best mom she can be?

we should be concentrating on why she wants to look like sally fields...can somebody ask her that?

jkat - very interesting point! I believe it.

Katie has nothing going on but child and husband, she was thrusted into this huge life and now she's trying to keep up appearnaces. When someone talks about their relationship as much as she does, it means they're trying to convince themselves that they are happy. Shes really unhappy, it transparent.

Uh, yeah! Glad she loves Suri, but Katie's talking crazy, no baby is a "strong woman"! Maybe she could have said "Strong child for her age" but woman? Goodness she's nuts.

"Why can't she say those words without being made fun of? Perhaps you should think about how you'd describe your children and where your values are."

just because we stated our opinions doesnt mean we are attacking her parenting skills or her..that statement was just bizarre.

i think u are the one is attacking..not us.
