CAROLINE: Well, it’s nice to see that nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood these days!

RYAN: Isn’t it just? Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise’s son Connor is set to appear in a new Will Smith movie, playing a young version of Will himself.

CAROLINE: And don’t you love how they’re claiming that Connor actually auditioned for the part and got it on his own merit?

RYAN: That’s a larf. Even if they did make him audition, surely it was with the caveat that if he came in and read for the part, he was guaranteed to get it.

CAROLINE: By the by, I read that it’s only a teeny tiny part. But what with the alleged Will Smith-Tom Cruise Scientology connection, it’s all too much.

RYAN: Why can’t people just say it like it is: “I’m a movie star, I want my kid to be in a movie and I’m gonna put him in one.” Why the charade with “auditioning” and all that?

CAROLINE: Seriously. I mean, Will Smith himself put two of his kids in his own movies and didn’t apologize for it. Tom could take a tip.

RYAN: FYI the movie is a drama called “Seven Pounds.” We can’t wait for what’s sure to be a stunning acting debut from lil’ Connor.
