GASP! Suri pictures seen!

[irishgrl]

this from TMZ:

Suri Pictures Seen!

The National Enquirer reports that it has seen the first pictures of Suri Cruise, and that the baby has a remarkably lush head of hair, so much so that, even just a few months old, she has it combed behind her ears and down her neck. And the tabloid's analysis suggests that Suri looks significantly more like Katie than Tom both feature and skin-tone wise -- in fact, the Enquirer says that no resemblance to Tom is immediately apparent. The pictures, which will reportedly be published in Vanity Fair, show Tom nestling his little girl against his neck and Suri laying on a bed while Tom plays with her and Katie sits by, grinning.

Hm. Okay so there IS a baby and it appears to be at least Katie's. Now we can all continue speculating that it's NOT Tom's as she bears zero resemblance to him. :laugh:

But seriously- I hate these two and I hate that I even want to see a picture of their baby.

Yeah, I know what ya mean, but I keep feeding that particular fire dont I? :laugh:

I do not have a problem with Katie and Tom wanting to keep their family life private. His two older children were not publically photographed until they were a few years old. Seems like a pretty responsible thing to do actually. He def. hyped up his romance with Kate but if he doesn't want to do that with their child....I really respect that. He is doing the same thing with Suri as he did with Bella and Connor...keeping them out of the spotlight.

I know!! I feel the same way...and I love how the article emphasizes that the baby bears no resemblance to Tom :rolleyes: I find that brand of stretching annoying. Just because my nephew didn't look like my brother in law at birth and a few months after does not mean it's not his kid.

Ok - now I want to see the pictures.

I hate myself :laugh:

I dont remember that it took several years to see pictures of Bella or Connor...but in any event, their circumstances were quite different. And I find it quite hypocritical to promote the pregnancy and then hide the baby. Besides, many stars quietly keep their kids out of the public eye. Key word? quietly.

Tom is a hypocrite, and this whole thing stinks. :mad:

Let the bidding wars begin!!

EXCLUSIVE: What Mags Will Pay For Suri Pics

Posted Jul 13th 2006 1:59PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Wacky and Weird, Baby Watch, Tom and Katie

TMZ has contacted the big players in the bidding wars over celebrity baby photos, and you may be surprised at what a picture of Suri Cruise can fetch.

Editorial staffers from People, Us Weekly, In Touch, Life and Style and OK! spoke candidly with TMZ, on condition that no names be used.

A source at OK! magazine tells TMZ that a set of exclusive, posed photos of the nearly three-month-old Suri would go for anywhere between 4 and $5 million -- People reportedly paid $4.1 million for pictures of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. The OK! source believes the high price tag is justified, partly because there would be a huge spike in circulation but also because of "the cred" that a glossy would get by having the photos plastered all over the world.

But sources at In Touch and Life & Style magazines beg to differ. The feeling there -- that Suri's first pics would garner a relatively paltry $2 million - $3 million. One source said the concealment of Suri "stinks" of Tom trying to manipulate the situation by creating mystery and thereby driving the price up.

Over at People, a source tells TMZ that the photos would fetch less than Shiloh's. The source says the main draw is not the baby or Tom but Suri's mom -- "People are fascinated by Katie Holmes, who's leading such a weird life now," transforming from an apple-cheeked All-American girl into the Bride of Scientology.
An Us Weekly source also believes that Suri photos would be a less valuable commodity than Shiloh pics. The thinking -- Brad and Angelina were "beautiful and romantic" after their baby was born. The source says the value in Suri pics have more to do with the "freak factor" of her parents.

And there's this -- One editor told TMZ that the price of the photographs would depend in no small part on where the proceeds from the sale end up, implying that it would be a very different matter if the millions went to African orphans than straight into the coffers of the Church of Scientology.

But what if the first Suri pics were not posed but captured by a paparazzo? A source at Splash News, a photo agency, thinks the shot would be "the biggest picture by a long mile in the world, and that as time goes on, it will only get more valuable. " The source says one good shot could fetch up to $2 million.

they had a baby...?

I am not a Tom fan but he definately kept his other children out of the spotlight, for YEARS. The first photo of them was when Bella was four or five years old and Connor was a toddler. I think it was not long after they adopted him. Its a family photo of Tom, Nicole, Isabella holding Tom's hand and one of the parents holding the toddler boy. I will try to post it later. It was a big deal as the kids were not photographed up until that point. So, it seems like he is doing the same thing with the new one. :shrug: I feel sorry for Kate, I think she definately got herself into a mess with him. I hope she had no post partum issues...Daddy would be feeding her vitamins for a cure. :rolleyes:

Wait a minute here, it sounds like you are confusing their ages with when the public got to meet them. If we got to see them soon after Connor was adopted, then I hardly think its accurate to say Tom kept them secret most of their young lives when he didnt even adopt them as infants. Thus, if we get to see a family portrait soon after Connor was adopted, then it doesnt strike me as though Tom is approaching this in the same way. :shrug:

btw, I just dont recall there being quite this much hoopla over Tom shrouding his other kids. If you can provide an article or some other proof, I'd like to see it...

[jannieC]

I really could care less about seeing this baby. He has every right to protect his child's privacy- I've said that from the beginning. However, he's a crazy lunatic who LOVES the spotlight and attention. The HIDING of the baby is a way to get MORE attention! I don't feel sorry Katie. She knew what the hell she was getting into when she married his crazy ass!

in the interest of fairness I went looking for any corroboration of Tom's behavior with Bella and Connor, and found a quote by Katrina Szish, a contributing editor for Us Weekly magazine:

In Search Of Suri
As Shiloh Debuts In Wax, TomKat Keeps Baby Under Wraps

July 27, 2006

(CBS) It seems people will do anything for a look at today's celebrity babies. At Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in New York, a statue of baby Shiloh, the baby daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, made its debut.

But when it comes to Suri, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the public is being kept in the dark.

Katrina Szish, a contributing editor for Us Weekly magazine, joined The Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler for a little "TomKat Chat."

ShowBuzz is offering a "Build Your Own Suri" feature, and Us Weekly is keeping such a close eye on news of the baby that it is maintaining a countdown clock on its Web site, calculating how many days, hours, minutes and seconds it has been since Suri was born and the public has not seen her.

"I don't think we're going to be seeing her any time soon," said Szish. "I think the clock is going to keep ticking away. I don't guess we'll see her before she is 1 year old."

That would be in line with Cruise's Scientology beliefs, which call for keeping children safely removed from outside influences. And it was several years before photos were made available of Bella and Connor, the two children who were adopted by Cruise and his former wife, Nicole Kidman.

"It's not out of character for Tom to be very protective of his children," Szish pointed out, while acknowledging that there is a public hunger to see Suri.
she then goes on to say:
"Especially with the TomKat situation," she added. "His courtship of Katie Holmes was so public, engagement so public, pregnancy so public. They really did make us hungry, and now they're not … following through on that. That's what makes this one extra delicious. We're just waiting to see that baby."

But then, what about the concept of pulling back? Why must Cruise and Holmes show their baby to the world? After all, their courtship was so public that they were criticized and some people even accused them of pulling a publicity stunt.

"It seems so out of character, based on the fanfare we all went through, the infamous couch jumping, which we've all talked about," Szish explained. "The fact that someone who was that public and that over the top would suddenly decide to withdraw and be very reserved does seem a little bit strange."

Many of TomKat's friends haven't even seen Suri, although actress Leah Remini of "King of Queens," also a Scientologist, recently told the press she has seen and held the baby.

As for rumors of an imminent TomKat wedding, Szish said, "I don't think it's true. We've heard from sources that they're not going to get married until Katie gets her pre-pregnancy body back, because she wants to look gorgeous on her big day. Who doesn't?"


I still say a lot of this stinks...:shrug:

[desertangel]

Hhmm... makes me wonder if some of these celebs aren't exploiting their own children just a bit. I seem to recall Madonna didn't want photos taken of Lourdes for quite a long time and when she was ready to "let the public see her" - Vanity Fair was the chosen publication. It could be worse, for example... running around with a blanket over their heads. :shrug:

[Red]

She resembles Katie more, but I can see the Tom thing too. I can't believe I care.:rolleyes:

[skcin]

Babies all look the same to me. :shrug: But ho****, that's allotta hair.

Esp in that pic - I see the Tom :nod:

what a cutie!!! And the hair - not unusual actually - almost all babies in my family are born with hair and a good friend of the family just had a baby with TONS of hair - AND natural highlights....it's so cute...

[skcin]

^ I guess it's not so much the amount of hair that strikes me - it's just really dark.

You posted something yourself that proved my point. He did not publicize his older two kids either for a few years. So what he did with Suri was not that crazy to ME. To you, it might be. :shrug:

I see Tom in that photo so much, too. The eyes...he does have nice eyes. Its a shame he is so mental. That baby is simply gorgeous...lovely skin and great hair!

[bikerchic]

Damn this baby is cute! I can totally see Tom and Katie in this picture. The hair is unbelievable. It looks like a bad toupee. I love it though. I remember when I had my babies, after praying that they're healthy, I was wishing for some hair on their head. I think most mom's hope for that :laugh:

I posted that precisely to show you that I had looked into it further, and that you were right. I guess you missed my comment in that post? I DO try to be fair you know :shrug: and I CAN admit when Im wrong too :nod:

[irishgrl]

ok, out of curiosity just exactly how old is Suri? because she sure looks older than my grandson who was born May 1st................

not trying to start anything but all the "newborns" Ive ever seen LOOK newborn. Maybe its all the hair thats throwing me off but her eyes are pretty wide open and she looks awfully large to me too....:shrug:

[DrummerDeanna]

http://www.perezhilton.com/aphotograph11np2.jpg


OMG!!!! that is SO cute.

[bikerchic]

She knew what the hell she was getting into when she married his crazy ass!

I don't think she did though. It wasn't until after they started dating that the whole crazy Tom thing started. It was because of Katie and the whole "I'm in love with Katie and jumping on Oprah's couch" thing that this whole thing started. And I don't think they're married.

[bikerchic]

her eyes are pretty wide open

She's a human baby, not a kitten :laugh: I think it is the hair that's throwing you off. I think she's 4 1/2 months.

[JazmenFlowers]

that is a cute ass baby.

damnit.

[irishgrl]

She's a human baby, not a kitten :laugh: I think it is the hair that's throwing you off. I think she's 4 1/2 months.


Well, Im not sure but she just appears a little older...
my grandson was born May 1st and he still has that "brand new" look about him....and he's 4 months :shrug: Maybe you're right, maybe its that DANG HAIR!! :lol:

Yes, ys- you're right- not married. But even though the Oprah couch episode came later, the dude has always been a crazy Scientologist. ;)

Suri is adorable. People are speculating that she's Asian and therefore adopted. :rolleyes: <<--- (seriously though, rolling eyes *without* the smile) To all that, I say- give it the f&*k up! They had a baby, she's really cute- let it go!

Believe me I know how you feel! I have to control myself everyday. I just want to chop him up, cook him and then eat him with some Heinz 57! :lol:

Yeah - he was showing some crazy even before Katie - I mean the antidepressant rant came before Katie, right?

That baby does not look at all Asian. Even I'm conceding that yes, there IS a baby - it's Katie and Tom's. I'm shutting up now...except to say that Suri is definitely cute.


And Mason? One of the cutest babies ever...so how old was he in that haircut pic?

[TwistedGypsy]

4 months old.

[Red]

Okay, that is a damn cute baby.

[irishgrl]

sigh...in my family we're all a bunch of baldies until later. I wonder if there's any truth to the old wives tale that you get heartburn during pregnancy from the hair....if so, Katie musta had some major major heartburn :nod:

[Red]

Christ, that kid has thicker hair than I do. You could hide a second kid in there!

[TwistedGypsy]

I myself didn't have any. I've also heard if oyu rub your belly alot then the baby will have a lot of hair, which I did. But I think its genetics cause I had a LOT of hair myself.

[bikerchic]

Yeah - he was showing some crazy even before Katie - I mean the antidepressant rant came before Katie, right?



I don't think so. After the anti-depressant rant, people were saying "good god, I hope Katie doesn't get postpartum depression" :shrug:

Mason is getting so big so fast, Brit! Cutie pie, he is.

My nephew came out with tons of light brown hair, they had to cut his around 4 months too. My brother was born with mucho hair, but I was completely bald until I was about 6 months old. :shocked:

That? Is so cute!!! Look at that hair!!!

And the color is gorgeous!
