PICTURES! Here are photos of Connor Cruise over the years. Connor Cruise appears in Seven Pounds this weekend. But reports say dad Tom Cruise didn’t show for Connor Cruise’s premiere party for Seven Pounds this week.

Seven Pounds is Connor Cruise’s first film, a role first broke by LALATE NEWS to you early in 2008. Seven Pounds features Connor as a young Will Smith. Connor is the son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise adopted five years into their marriage before they divorced in 2001.

However, on MSNBC they are trying to make a lot about nothing today that dad Tom Cruise didn’t attend Connor’s premiere party this week because he was off promoting his own film.

“The reasoning for skipping 13-year-old Connor’s big-screen debut, in which he plays a younger version of Cruise pal Will Smith? Cruise opted to stay in New York to continue the publicity blitz for his film “Valkyrie.” ….. “It comes as such a surprise,” says a Cruise source. “When Connor was filming (‘Seven Pounds’) Tom was so excited and proud of him. It’s sad Tom didn’t fly out for the evening. He could have missed one night of publicity to support Connor and Will.” “

Much about nothing.

Catch Connor in SEVEN POUNDS hitting movie theatres this week.

Cruise told Lauer this morning that how he came off in 2005 is not how he is in real life and that he could have handled it better.

VIDEO! Watch Matt Lauer’s December 15, 2008 interview of Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise joins Matt Lauer today for a new December 15 Today Show interview.

It’s been three years since Cruise last appeared in the infamous Lauer Cruise chat. The 2005 interview went “unusual” after psychiatry and the use of anti-depressants came up in the discussion.

Since then, Cruise helped roast Lauer for the Friars Club, poking fun at the 2005 interview. “Matt and I talk two, three, four times a day,” Cruise joked.

As LALATE broke last week, Cruise has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his off beat roll in the movie Tropic Thunder.

LALATE has the video for you. Watch the video below.

Nicole Kidman retirement? Nicole Kidman is considering retirement. Retirement for what? Kidman loves life at home raising a family.

Kidman made the revelation during a Sydney press conference Tuesday for her new film Australia (pictured above).

“In terms of my future as an actor and stuff, I don’t know. I am in a place in my life where…I’ve had some great opportunities, and I may just choose to have some more children.”

Kidman has one child, Sunday Rose, with husband Keith Urban, and two children, Isabella and Connor, with Tom Cruise.

“I’ve no idea what is in my future, but I am very at peace with where I want to be. There are many things I want to do besides act.”

Rush Limbaugh joins Barbara Walters “10 Most Fascinating People of 2008″. Rush Limbaugh joins Barbara Walters celebrities for “10 Most Fascinating People of 2008″ to air December 4.

But the list, is well, not very fascinating so far.

Of the 10, just a few names have been released, and not the number one.

Names on the list that make sense include Tina Fey, Will Smith, Limbaugh, Miley Cyrus, and Michael Phelps.

But Tom Cruise? What was fascinating about Tom Cruise in 2008? Yes, he remains one of LALATE’s favorite celebrities, an incredible person and talent, but top 10 most fascinating people this year in America? No.
