Um hello people - she is a BABY!!! She’s cute, she has goofy hair, and in some pictures she looks a bit like an alien - that is just how it IS with babies. Jeez …
Actually, I think it bothers him a lot. People were joking on another message board when his image really started plummeting about how long it would be before another story about his stopping to help someone involved in a traffic accident would appear in the media, and lo and behold, Tom and Katie managed to happen along the scene of an accident like wandering angels to assist some poor civilians. He cares DEEPLY about how he’s perceived by the public, or he wouldn’t have these staged publicity moments. If he didn’t care at all, he’d just live his damn life and not worry about this shit.
Like hell they don’t. Even if they don’t that baby is pretty well supported by the hug Tom ahs going on in that picture.
My daughter would push her legs out and “stand” on my legs with only the minimal bit of help by the time she was 3 - 4 months old.
You hit it Ana. I think that the public’s response to Tom’s odd behavior, opinions, and unconventional religious beliefs have colored our opinions of him.
He used to be on “my list”. For many, many years. Top Gun was ambrosia for the eyes. He’s just gone so wierd that he’s become distasteful, handsome or not.
What’s with people talking about who a baby looks like? Bizarre Sasquatch hair aside, babies are freakin’ identical. They all look faintly Asian, and they never look like their parents. The fact that no one can ever agree who a baby looks like should tell us that discussing who a baby looks like is fantasy. They’re little drooling Rorschach tests.
Who can get some blood from it so we can do paternity testing? Let’s start working out the odds. I say 1:2 that Daddy’s Chris Kline, 1:7 that it’s Keanu Reeves (don’t they look a bit similar?) And there’s an outside chance that Mom is Bjork.
Has anyone else looked at the photo at the bottom? Her hair looks dark brown in it, not black. Maybe the “editing” they did of the cover photo explains darkness of her hair there.
Gee, I’ll have to tell my daughter that. She’s eight months now, so I’m not sure how she’ll go back and undo it, but I’m sure she’ll try.
If you look at the picture, it’s pretty damn obvious Cruise is holding her up.
You people sound like the Moon Landing loonies. Must everything be a conspiracy?
Care to elaborate? Who are these “you people”? Where exactly is the conspiracy?
Just seconding what Zakalwe said. This discussion is really getting bizarre.
More bizarre than thinking that the Earth was infected with the souls of aliens by an evil being named Xenu? And that they got here on spaceships which looked like DC-9s? More bizarre than jumping on Oprah’s couch? More bizarre than attacking a morning TV show host?
I’ve got an ex-gf with a kid that’s supposedly half-Chinese and the pictures of Cruise’s kid look more Asian than her’s do.
(babies that is) … I used to get called Chinky at school because I apparently looked Chinese, despite being Celtic
Her eyes are also different colors in different pictures. I noticed it when I was looking at the magazine at the store. In a couple of photos her eyes are clearly brown with green flecks, but in another one they’re clearly bright blue.
Others online have noticed that some of the photos seem to show unattached earlobes while other photos show attached earlobes, but that could be overly aggressive photoshopping.
I don’t know what the differences mean, but it’s not my imagination and I’m not a conspiracy theorist. It’s just a little odd.
She sure is a pretty baby.
Also, add me to the list of people who know babies who are born with a full head of hair. My boyfriend was born with hair just like Suri’s, when his mom showed me his baby pics, I almost died laughing. He was just so cute and funny looking with it. She said when they got discharged from the hospital, the nurses had combed and parted his hair.
I got my hard copy of the mag in mail today. Suri is a pretty baby, styled or not.
Dad, however, is a squick.
I think the baby is cute and looks like Katie.
Nope, not a conspiracy loony. I just find it odd that a 3 month old baby looks to be about the size of a 6 month old and seems to be supporting herself pretty well in that photo. Also, there’s the one photo where Suri’s lying between Tom and Katie and she has no bellybutton. Seriously–it’s not there. Why in the world would anyone feel the need to photoshop out the bellybutton of a baby?
There’s just way too much weirdness surrounding the whole thing for me not to think something odd is going on. At the very least, an overuse of Photoshop.
Not that bizarre. But people sure seem to be trying so hard to find reasons to hate Tommy. It’s not like he doesn’t give us enough looniness that we have to microscopically examine every detail of this photo shoot to manufacture more.
Oh, and there’s no such thing as a beautiful baby; they’re all ugly blobs.
Thought piece on what this whole hoo-ha says about us, the rubberneckers.
I like this bit from the article:
By the way, that photo of the kid standing IS photoshopped and is not Tom’s actual pod. It’s from Gawker and properly captioned as a joke here (read the disclaimer)
A reader pointed this out on my blog. Thought you guys might want to know.
