Cruise, 50, flew overnight from California, where he's been shooting the film "Oblivion," to New York to see his daughter, according to Us Weekly.

This is believed to be the first time Cruise has visited his daughter since he and Katie Holmes announced their divorce settlement on July 9. People reports the actor has not seen Suri in person since mid-June, though the two have spoken frequently since the split.

According to the magazine, the father-daughter duo plan to spend several days together in New York.

Separately on Monday night, Holmes and Suri escaped injury when the car in which they were riding collided with a sanitation truck in New York, a police source said.

She doesn't seem as happy to be with him as she is around her mother.

I'll bet she could tell that her dad was trying to convert her into some sort of Scientology space alien and it wigs her out.

Kids are very aware of stuff, even at that age ...

Kids also forget when they are kept away

Who cares? Although if you do any research on Scientology you might respond "But the victims..."
