It's Surri! or Surry, or Suri, oh it's Suri.

Old news, yes, I know. Cut me some slack. I was busy with school and campus clubs that I only got my magazine groove back yesterday. Normally I wouldn't bother posting 'old' news, but Suri is too cute to go without saying a word or two about. So technically, speaking from the release date in Canada, which was Sept 12th, I am a little over a week late with this entry. So shoot me *hides behind the fattest thing I can see - which happens to be my bulging ego (insert smirk here)*.

If you are even slightly interested in any form of media (mainly magazines, TV shows and something called the internet, I don't know if you heard of it <.<) you are probably aware, that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have finally released the picture of their 4 and 1/2 month baby, Suri Cruise. Unless I am mistaken, which I probably am not (here is the damn ego again), this is Tom's, and also Katie's, first biological baby. This one is a keeper :D Some might not be aware of the big deal behind this whole Tom's baby feature. So here is the general break down for you folks up in Alaska or wherever. It first started with the whole religion of Scientology that Tom was strongly affectionate for (at first I thought he said 'scientistology' and I called him a moron for a couple of days...). Some said that Katie feared giving birth under the Scientology oath and rituals and that the baby wasn't going to happen (abortion anyone?). Some said that she was finally 'brainwashed' into believing in Tom's religion of choice. Who the hell? We could probably discard the last rumour as bullshit - trust me.

Second part of the big 'Suri' media fest was the fact that there hadn't been a picture of her published anywhere for the first few months after her birth (which is a big nono when you are big as Tom Cruise). Some, probably the same people who started the Scientology stories above, wondered if perhaps the baby wasn't born, or in a worst case scenario, died during the process of Scientological birth. In other terms, Suri's existance was now in question. Though a couple of close celebrity friends of Tom and Katie (ie. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith) have stated in numerous interviews that they have seen the baby, not holding back with praises and positive exposure, but without pictures, the general public aren't so easy to please/convince. However, with this month's 23 page Vanity Fair feature, published at the earliest of Sept, 6th in New York and LA, all the rumours are shut-down as a pile of propaganda. Though I hate Tom (his idiotic actions here and here - what a jackass) I'm happy for him and his family now that all the false-stories are quieting down.

With all these rumours and theories revolving around the baby, it's no wonder why the unveiling of Suri's picture was the biggest 'celebrity's baby' event of the decade, if not the biggest ever. You probably rushed to get a copy of Vanity Fair when it was released along with millions of other people. When all is spoken and done, everyone can conclude and agree on one thing: this is one hell of a cute baby.

Though a couple of celebrities, namely Moby, publicly flamed the couple, accusing them of using their baby as a mere source of media attention (which I think is a solid argument by the way), this long awaited declaration of Suri's life in the public media has meant nothing but good things for Cruise(s). All the accusations are now turned into compliments of the baby and best wishes for the couple. All the controversy is settling down and the family is getting their life back together.

I hope nothing but happiness and hippos (cause hippos are happy, in cartoons) to Cruise and his family. To Suri: I bet that you will have your own screaming fanbase when you grow up, so make it quick (oh yeah and don't grow up like your dad, he's a bit crazy...rich, but crazy).
