Worlds apart! Tom Cruise's daughter Bella flies on budget airline Ryanair... while sister Suri travels first class
|
Her father has an estimated fortune of $275million.
But that did not stop Tom Cruise's daughter Bella flying on Ryanair during a trip to Europe this week.
The 20-year-old seemed more than happy to fly to Italy on the budget airline, as she posted a picture of her flight out of England on her Instagram page.

She's no Top Gun: But Tom's daughter seemed proud to be flying via budget airline Ryanair
It is far removed from the private jets and first class travel her little sister Suri, daugter of her former stepmother Katie Holmes, is used to.
But she seemed to be having a great time regardless enjoying the summer sunshine in picturesque Florence.
Last year Bella was dating musician Eddie Frencher, both reportedly proud Scientologists.
But it seems she may be back on the market if pictures of her frolicking with a mystery man in a swimming pool are anything to go by

Who needs the Olive Garden? The 20-year-old seemed to be relishing the chance to have authentic Italian food
Court in the act: She seemed to be quite taken by the grass tennis court at the idyllic country mansion
She also posted a picture of a group of friends enjoying a dinner on a luxurious estate, and a tennis court seemingly at the same idyllic country house.
Bella previously got work experience as an apprentice for her former stepmother's fashion label, but last year claims emerged she was abruptly fired about, perhaps as part of Katie’s exit plan from the marriage.
Bella and brother Connor were adopted by Tom and Nicole Kidman after he and the actress were married in 1990.
There have questions about how close they are to their mother, with Nicole telling GMTV in 2007, 'My kids don’t call me "Mommy.’”
'They don’t even call me "Mom." They call me "Nicole," which I hate and tell them off for it.'
It beats watching Oblivion: No doubt she enjoyed taking in the Florence landscape more than Tom's latest dud
Riding the chopper: While Bella takes budget airlines Suri is transported around in a helicopter
Meanwhile: His sister was enjoying Europe while Connor was shopping for groceries in Los Angeles
Off his trolley: The young wannabe pushed his cart in an particularly unconventional fashion

‘This rigmarole feels wrong,’ says journalist at centre of free speech row
Ahead of his talk about the Church of Scientology at the Senedd on Monday, BBC Panorama journalist John Sweeney says Cardiff council’s decision not to allow him to speak at Cardiff Library is a matter of free speech
"My Welsh-speaking grandfather Stephen Owen did not, I think, join the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry in 1914 and fight in the trenches so that his grandson could be banned from speaking at Cardiff Library almost a century later.
It’s a complicated saga, but Cardiff Skeptics in the Pub had booked me to talk about my book, Church Of Fear: Inside the Weird World of Scientology on Monday, June 17, and were looking for a bigger venue than the usual boozer.
They approached Cardiff Library, who gave a tentative yes, then, a bit later, a flat no. No to my critical take on Scientology, no to another planned talk by Professor David Nutt, the former government drugs adviser who was sacked in 2009 after he claimed Ecstasy and LSD were less dangerous than alcohol.
The sense was that Prof Nutt and I were in breach of Cardiff council’s equality plan, “Everybody Matters”, with the controversial nature of our talks. A spokesman for Cardiff council said this was not right, and the booking and consequent unbooking was due to “a misunderstanding” over staffing evening events. However, a previous talk at Cardiff Library had posed no such staffing problem: an evening of mediums, the people who claim they can communicate with the dead.
Prof Nutt and I remain banned or, at least, “un-booked” from Cardiff Library.
The professor, I am sure, can look after himself but neither he nor I threaten the Queen’s peace. As a distinguished scientist, in a democracy he has every right to say what he thinks about the Government’s drugs policy. He may be right, he may be wrong but just because the then Home Secretary sacked him does not mean he cannot speak his mind in a publicly owned building.
It’s no secret that the Church of Scientology is not a fan of my two BBC Panoramas on them, or my book, or, indeed, me. The Church says I am a liar, a bigot and psychotic. But the Church has not sued me or my publisher, and thus far we have sold around 10,000 paperback and e-book copies of Church Of Fear.
I have given talks about the Church in London, Birmingham, at the Hay Festival and close to the Church’s British base in East Grinstead without any trouble.
In the 21st century people have a right to believe in anything and nothing. Having reported from North Korea, I take a dim view of any state that bans freedom of belief. But, equally, people have a right to challenge beliefs and criticise them – and I assert that right. The issue is that I can say what I like in a Cardiff pub but not, it appears to me, in the city’s library; not actually in the library proper, because that would be silly, but in a side-room.
(To be honest, I would have much rather give my talk – which does not, of course, represent the views of my employer, the BBC – in a pub. Libraries have books and books are good. Pubs have beer and beer is better.) But Cardiff Skeptics thought lots of people would come to my talk and asked for a room at the library. The moment I was banned or at least unbooked from Cardiff Library, I took not ullage but umbrage.
I’m afraid I don’t quite buy Cardiff council’s “misunderstanding” argument, especially if psychic mediums can do their thing in Cardiff Library but not a critic of the Church of Scientology.
In the end, Cardiff Skeptics in the Pub have got a room in the Senedd, so free speech will out. But the rigmarole feels wrong – and not what my grandfather and his pals fought for."
* John Sweeney will be speaking at the Senedd on Monday, June 17, at 6.30pm. Church Of Fear paperback is £12.99, ebook £4, via www.amazon.co.uk
Council defends library policy in free speech row
A Cardiff council spokeswoman said: “As previously stated, Cardiff council has never banned John Sweeney or Prof Nutt from Cardiff Central Library nor have we refused to allow Cardiff Skeptics in the Pub to hold their event at the library as a result of the nature of the topics to be discussed.
“In this case, incorrect advice was given to the organisers about the availability to hire the library as an evening venue.
“The library is not set up as a night-time venue for hire.
“Central Library does occasionally hold evening events organised by the library as part of the library’s own events programme, which have in the past included an evening of mediumship and speed dating events to encourage a new audience to the library.
“Since the misunderstanding, the Cardiff Central Library manager contacted Cardiff Skeptics to see if the council could work with the organisers to find an alternative council venue more suitable for hosting an evening event.”
“As previously stated we are sorry for the misunderstanding but this was not an attempt to ban anyone from Cardiff Central Library.”

She was a vision in ivory at the Met Ball last month.
But Katie Holmes did not look all white on the night when it came to Tuesday’s outfit.
The 34-year-old donned an unflattering light frock to the 3rd Annual Summer Party On The Highline bash in New York City.
The grass is greener: Katie Holmes attended the 3rd Annual Summer Party On The Highline on Tuesday in New York City
Aptly accessorised: Katie rocked a small clutch bag and gold cuff on her wrist
The former Dawson's Creek actress - from Toledo Ohio - arrived wearing an asymmetric number which displayed her toned arms but drowned her slim frame elsewhere.

Little Britton: Katie was a good few inches taller than Connie as they posed together at the event
Light and airy: Naomi wore a large pink shirt for the event to raise money for the outdoors
Jolly lady: The screen star seemed to be in happy spirits at the star-studded gathering
Apparently 100 per cent of the proceeds from the $175 per ticket sales will go directly toward the High Line to help keep the park clean and the public engaged through free art, tours, talks, and kids' activities all year long.
She appeared in a more regular ensemble as she grabbed coffee in the Big Apple earlier.
She was seen chatting away animatedly on her mobile phone.
