Actually in Afghan culture (or maybe Muslim religion - not sure which it is really) the Mother & Baby aren't supposed to go out, do anything really, for 40 days.

Holmes heartbreak over baby rumours


Katie Holmes has described speculation about her baby as "heartbreaking" as she finally unveiled Hollywood star Tom Cruise's daughter Suri to the world.

Their baby is pictured in Vanity Fair magazine, four-and-a-half months after her birth.

The long wait to see the high-profile couple's daughter had prompted conspiracy theorists to question her existence.

Now Suri has been photographed by celebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz and features in a 22-page spread in the magazine.

Holmes, 27, said it had been "heartbreaking" to see what was being written about her baby and her family.

She told the magazine: "The stuff that's said about my parents and my siblings (reports that her family did not hit it off with Cruise), it's really frustrating.

"And the stuff they say about Suri? You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child."

Cruise, 44, says of the baby: "She has Kate's lips and eyes. I think she looks like Kate", while Holmes says: "I think she has Tom's eyes. I think she looks like Tom."

He says of the reason they have taken so long to show Suri off to the world was because they were just living their lives and being a family.

She is the first biological daughter for Cruise, who adopted two children with Nicole Kidman, and whose eccentric off-screen behaviour led last month to Paramount ending its 14-year relationship with his production company.

Suri is absolutley adorable,her eyes are so cute! But you can tell she already has Tom's nose. Lmao poor thing is going to hate it when she grows up.

But I'm amazed at her hair,she has so much of it AND its RAAAAVEEN black. Looks like dyed black hair,its just so weird.Maybe its just all the retouching.

^^^ I was born with a full head of hair a'la Suri... "I was called Eskimo Baby" due to tons of long black hair I was born with. My hair eventually fell out over the first few months after I was born (which is normal) and grew back in more like 'regular' fine brown baby hair.

Maybe that's why they were waiting to do pics?? I bet that babies hair has some bald patches and that some of that hair is 'shopped on.

....


actually we kinda do agree. my point was that she is just a baby like any other and if her parents (whatever their reasons were) chose not to put her face on a magazine cover, we should respect their choice instead of all the pressuring that took place.

But it was over 40 days and there is no Catholic/Scientologist, to my knowledge, reason for them not to bring the child out once in a while.

I just find Suri and that situation incredibly suspicious, when this was a couple who were anything but private about their lives. As I said before, it's a safety issue to release the photo (and I imagine it must be terrifying for a baby to be bombarded with a ton of people shouting and gathering so close with flashing lights.) You don't have to do the huge Angelina Jolie-style story, but even fairly non-famous people, like Mariska Hargitay of Law and Order: SVU, released a photo soon after the birth.

The timing of the photo release couldn't be more perfect, either, since Tom Cruise was let go from some contract or studio, presumably because of his antics.

Why is that?

Honestly? Because I wanted them to be little cue ball bald babies. *shrug* Just one of the things mothers sometimes obsess on. One of my friends who was pregnant at the same time I was wanted a baby with a full head of hair. I didn't.

Is it really any of our business to see the child or not see the child? Really?
Of course professionally speaking is one thing (i.e. the work the actors do), but is their personal life really really any of our business?
There is NO compelling reason they should be forced to show their child before they are ready to, IMO, simply to satisfy the curiosity of the masses.
Why would it be a safety issue to release a photo? Tom Cruise has MORE than enough money that his compounds (note: compounds, not estates...freaking compounds) are well protected.
It would be a safety issue if she or he took the child out while they were shopping or something, as 'normal' parents do, but that's not something they would do anyway.

The reason I wouldn't, in their shoes, bring the child out until I was ready was because honestly, it's none of the public's business, and I'm not about pimping my kid out for money, nor as a massive PR move.

While I'm sure there is a fair bit of spin regarding the pictures coming out right now, as far as PR goes, remember they were set to release prior to the Paramount decision to let him go.

I must say i agree with every single word u are saying about this matter. I dont think some ppl relalize that these are REAL ppl with REAL lives. And they have a right to thier privacy, I mean if they where a non-famous couple that just had a baby. nobody would care
if they waited 4 months to show their baby off. I mean some ppl think
that they have a RIGHT... and its just not fair for the public to
SCRUTINIZE,!! every single thing Tom and Katie does, or any famous person for that matter. See now the pictures are out there and some ppl still have something to say. " the pic were RETOUCHED" lets get with it ppl
its a mag cover.... "all mag covers are retouched" i mean does it really matter???? if they were or not?..... "come on" show me a mag cover that has not been retouched???? "please im beggin" (you wont find one) I dont see why some ppl cant just except the pictures, except the fact that Katie really was preggos.. And her baby is healthy and normal.

The things she said in the article about how she knows what's being said and all that really hit me because you're right, those two people, despite being Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and being celebrities, are still people. They STILL have to go to the bathroom, they still have to take showers and tie their shoes, they still get hangnails, and have to brush their teeth, and be normal people.


He's still got views I don't agree with, and I have to wonder where Katie's opinions went, but honestly, why should they be compelled to do something they don't want to?
The families got to see the baby in normal times, so did friends. I'm fairly sure the household staff saw her...
Why should they be required to do something other parents aren't, only because they're celebrities?
