Newsstands Love Baby Suri Cruise
After seeing the photographs of the Family Cruise-Holmes, yesterday Gothamist tried to buy a copy of Vanity Fair. We went to three different newsstands, where the owners, after laughing at us, told us they were sold out. Apparently everyone wanted 22 glossy pages of Hollywood family values (Scientology! Children before marriage! Scuttlebutt over whether a baby looks Asian!) as soon as they hit the stands! We're sure we'll be able to get our hands on a copy of Vanity Fair, but in the meantime, we could examine the photographs in the feature thanks to Just Jared. Our conclusion: The baby is cute, a positive outcome of couch-jumping. Now all we want is for Fametracker's Mediator to analyze this issue - their analysis of the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue was brilliant.
Have you read the Vanity Fair issue yet? And another Vanity Fair cover girl is in the news. Paris Hilton was just arrested in LA - but for DUI, not public indecency - and she didn't call anyone sugartits.




What a cute little adopted asian baby. and JAIL PARIS
I can't believe the amount of mean stuff I'm hearing directed at this poor kid. How old is she? People are just openly hateful for no good reason. So what if her parents are whackados. Leave the kid alone already. Everybody loves good snark, but a lot of people are really going above and beyond. Thanks, Gothamist, for being positive and at least saying she's a positive outcome.
Don't all babies look Asian at first?
And I cannot wait for Paris Hilton's mugshot - that lazy eye will look hot!
everyone watch as Gothmst turns into another gossip blog. Good job.
We have given thought to being an only-L&O-cast-member gossip blog! But let me say, after walking around looking for a Vanity Fair last night, this is more about Vanity Fair delivering more issues to my neighborhood newsstands.
Suri doesn't look Asian. She looks like she's on Rogaine and Propecia. What's the deal with her hair? I have thicker hair now than any adult I know but I didn't look like that at six months.
She has a striking resemblance to L. Ron Hubbard.
The evil overlord Xenu was supposed to have gathered up all the overpopulation in this sector of the galaxy, brought them to Earth and then exterminated them using hydrogen bombs.
The souls of these murdered people are then supposed to infest the body of everyone. They are called "body thetans".
On the advanced levels of Scientology a person "audits out" these body thetans telepathically by getting them to re-experience their being exterminated by hydrogen bombs.
So people on these levels assume all their bad thoughts and faulty memories are due to these body thetans infesting every part of their body and influencing them mentally.
Any mention in the Vanity Fair article about alien Thetans or what alein race little baby Suri may have evolved from..?
I would LOVE to get on board with the adopted Asian baby thing, but I have to admit that the kid looks like her parents. There's still plenty to rag them for...the alien invasion theory seems pretty prime.
Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.
Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.
Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).
These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.
The story doesn't end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).
After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called "implanting".
When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.
As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.
Um . . . uh . . . wow . . . is Scientology really that bizarre? MUCH weirder than I had thought!!!
Yes...
That is what scientologists actually believe..!
of coarse it doesn't hurt to be off your nut from brain washing either..
I'm pretty sure no Asian mistaked Suri as being Asian.
"Gothamist" tried to buy a copy? How is that even possible being as you're a blog with a bazilion contributors.
Oh yeah. I got one up on scientology. Once there was this lady whose name was Mary and she had a baby without a father and that baby was white and had blue eyes even though it was the middle east. ANyway, the baby could walk on water, turn blood into wine, heal the sick and it had heat vision. People worshipped this baby after it was crucified and came back from the dead. This crazy religion is called christianity.
Like P.T. Barnem said " there's a sucker born every minute"
man "js"... ive never thought about how wacky christianity is when its broken down like that. i think you are the first person ever on the internet to fully break it down.
Hell, I don't care one lick about TomKat, but that baby is darn cute.
Tobyjoe and I are subscribers. We haven't received ours in the mail yet. Granted, most of the time it's beat all to hell because our mailperson can't seem to insert the mail horizontally and instead wishes to ball it up first and the proceed to stuff it through the vent. Anyway, we're starting to think it was stolen. Is that possible? Might someone have stolen our copy of Vanity Fair just to see the new baby? Because that would be totally insane.
Scarlett's ass made it through, why not baby weirdo?
i may be the only one on the planet who feels this way but..... why do you people care about what the baby looks like? why do you care about tom cruise and katie holmes? why do you go ga ga when a celebrity looks at you and smiles? they aren't any different from anyone else. they bleed the same blood, they aren't superhuman just because everybody knows them. they get paid to ENTERTAIN us. that's it. this doesn't make them special,it just means they do their job. just like someone who pumps your gas or makes your burgers at minimum wage. the people who do these menial jobs contribute way more to our society than these entertainers. i'm not trying to say celebrities are evil and that we shouldn't have anything to do with them, i love movies and listening to music. i know that without these people we wouldn't have those things. i just believe our society has some messed up priorities. we care more about someone who we may never meet or have a chance to talk to, and who won't ever know about us, than we do about the guy fixing us dinner, actually performing a service for us. and on a different note, why does the public feel they have a right to know everything that goes on in a celebrity's life? we don't give them any privacy, and then we get mad at them and give them SO much flak when they snap and do something to a paparazzi. if i was in their position, i would probably, and VERY intentionally and unapologetically put one of those "reporters" in a hospital bed. their job is to report something that will make a difference in america, and most importantly, something that MATTERS. instead they spy on a person just because he or she was in a movie. i repeat, they SPY on these people and harass them. they are doing the very thing they chastise their government for doing. so you should ask yourself if what we see and hear everyday on tv and magazines is what is wrong with the nation. i don't believe its the movies and video games and the music as much as it is the attitude of the american people and those in charge of what gets put into our minds everyday, feeding us junk and useless information. they have become hypocrites and slanderers of others because they don't have the courage to do something useful. leave the celebrities alone, it's their life and choices, not yours, and most of all, stop being so obsessed with these people. they aren't anything special. and if you're wondering who i am and why i have the "audacity" to say these politically incorrect things, here's the reason: my name is mike, people call me papi. i'm seventeen years old and live in bend, oregon. i am tired of my generation falling apart and becoming the problem of our society instead of the problem, and i'm tired of my peers being raised in this place we call a free world. if you want to talk to me about this, my email is mrp390@hotmail.com. i'd be interested in hearing what you have to say.
I can't explain why, but that kid does look sorta weird - as if she's been photoshopped to look more like her parents or something. I'm not saying there's some sort of huge conspiracy or anything - that was just my gut reaction to the cover photo.
Anyone who for "sport" makes fun of a baby is weird at best, crazy at worse and in fact is announcing to one and all "I HAVE NO LIFE".
#22 - I resent that. I was a varsity babymocker in high school.
No wonder they kept the kid out of sight for four months. Must be hard to explain the Asian thing.
