OK, I think Tom Cruise is a clam and I’m not a fan and Katie Holmes is not on my radar, really. I don’t like anything I’ve heard about $cientology and I think these two have been weird about their relationship and the whole baby thing.
BUT…
C’mon, it’s a baby, a little baby girl. Regardless of the circumstances of her parents, she deserves to be given every bit of leeway that babies around the world get.
My kids didn’t have that much hair at that age, but my nephew sure did. That amount of hair is most certainly possible at that age.
Feh, no matter how crazy they may be, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are beautiful people who have birthed a very gorgeous baby. Lots of babies are born with that much hair (my uncle compared me to a baby sasquatch). The baby is just a baby, and it’s somewhat unnerving to see so many people making fun of a baby.
I can’t stand living in a world where this is big news. If the 21-day shoot and retouching story is true, I’m even more disgusted.
Be that as it may (and since Caricci summoned me, I feel compelled to post :D) I have to add that lots and lots of black hair is extremely common in babies! All of mine were similarly befurred. A check of the baby pictures of my brothers and sisters shows the same. I have a niece born with a positively embarrassing amount of hair. A friend’s daughter was the same; she kept her in a bonnet because it excited so much comment whenever she took her out.
Tom Cruise. I still can’t believe he’s turned into such a dipstick. He lived in Louisville as a teenager and a lot of people I went to college with knew him. Since then, I’ve always kinda-sorta felt like I knew him–and him going off the deep end like he has just annoys me to no end. :rolleyes:
Well, in the Caricci family, any baby born with that amount of black hair has the common decency to shed it for something, I don’t know, less Thetan by 6 weeks.
Call me old-fashioned, but aren’t you supposed to get married first, then have a baby? (Yes, of course real life is often otherwise; but I’m trying to teach this to my teenager).
I always thought that was a lame excuse for not showing baby pics. All babies pretty much look alike and their looks change quickly. It’s also not likely that the baby is going to be out walking the streets on her own or left unattended.
I agree that kids are often born with lots of hair, and it’s often dark. My kids had full heads of hair at birth, and since my wife and I both have dark brown hair, so did they. But the hair on the baby in that picture is black. No baby has hair that dark. It just looks touched up, is all I’m sayin’.
I know, I know, I’m going to be a total joykill here, but I think the baby is the spit and image of Tom. Also, dealing with babies every day at work, I’ve seen thicker, fuller heads than that at younger than three months on the spawn of regular, less pretty people. And of course the image is photoshopped; it’s the cover of Vanity Fair. Who isn’t?
Sigh. And I loathe Tom Cruise. But that’s his kid. Unless the photoshopping was done to make Suri look more like Tom, of course. Remember, Tom used to be a pretty good looking cat. Probably still would be if we weren’t so aware of the insane sheen to his eyes these days. But the kid doesn’t have it, and she’s gorgeous.
Most of the time, black hair falls out, to be replaced with the kid’s real hair color. But not always.
One daughter of a friend of mine had that huge head of ink black hair (both mom and dad have medium brown hair), that never fell out, but her hair after birth grew in blond! So at age two, she had shoulder length blond hair with black tips. Looked like someone dipped her hair in an inkwell. If Suri’s the same, that’s why she looks like she’s wearing a toupee.
I think Suri’s a gorgeous baby, and I defy anyone to show me a set of newborn parents who aren’t crazy in love with their baby and a little nuts. Then again, don’t. People who aren’t crazy about their own babies aren’t the sort of people I want to know.
This is not to say Tom Cruise isn’t nuts and wasn’t an asshole to Brooke Shields. He was. But I know I didn’t get my own kids’ birth announcements out 'till they were about three months old, and I haven’t updated my baby’s online picture album since Easter. I don’t see why I’d be any different if I was famous. Parents of a newborn ought to be completely devoted to the baby and family to the exclusion of everyone else. It’s perfectly normal.
Anyway, I agree. I saw the picture, and my first thought was, “She has his looks.” It was an unguarded, immediate reaction to the photo.
I’m not bothered by the photo and whether it was retouched or not. I’m more bothered by the fact that publicly he seems to have forgotten his other two kids. The man has three children, not one.
So, you’re saying that you think that the child is the product of some kind of weird $cientology breeding experiment which used DNA extracted from Tom’s saliva?
