Suri Cruise Exists!

[Marilyn. 340]

The Taliban are on the move again in Afghanistan. And, in other news, Suri Cruise has two eyes, a nose and a full head of hair.

Katie Couric's Tuesday debut as anchor of the CBS Evening News doubled as the coast-to-coast debut of

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' supposedly mysterious child.

The Suri Cruise segment did not top Couric's newscast--the feature on the Taliban did--but it did rate a mention in the opening tease, with the successor to Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather promising to show off "the baby picture everyone has been waiting for."

True to her word, Couric unveiled the cover of the October Vanity Fair, featuring an Annie Liebovitz-shot portrait of Cruise making like Paul McCartney on 1970's McCartney album and cradling Suri inside his leather jacket while Holmes looks on.

The issue goes on sale in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday, and elsewhere on Sept. 12.

The cover photo was taken in July in Telluride, Colorado, Vanity Fair said. Inside, the issue is said to boast 22 further pages of photographic proof that Suri-sighters Leah Remini, Jada Pinkett Smith and Penelope Cruz were not victims of mass hallucination.

The so-called "family portfolio" also features an interview with Holmes, who has been out of sight almost as much as her daughter since "joyously welcom[ing]" Suri last Apr. 18.

Per excerpts published on Vanity Fair's Website, Holmes sounds vexed by speculation that Suri either didn't exist or did exist, but with antenna or some such abnormality.

"It's really frustrating the amount of sh-t that's out there," Holmes says in the magazine. "And the stuff they say about Suri?! You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child."

Per Holmes, you also can't say what you've been saying about her someday husband-to-be.

"To see how someone as caring and good as Tom is--to see how things can just get so twisted and turned around," Holmes says. "I mean, where does it come from?"

Also speaking to the magazine, Cruise says he and Holmes "always planned to release [family photos of Suri] at the right time."

"[but] then all this craziness began," Holmes says in interview. "This 'Where is Suri?' controversy. Tom and I looked at each other and said, 'What's going on?' We weren't trying to hide anything."

Cruise notes that Leibovitz became the natural choice for Suri's coming-out because she shot Isabella and Connor, his children adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, in their younger days.

Elsewhere, Holmes calls Suri a "glorious girl" who is the "miracle of our life," bats down rumors of a rift between her family and Cruise, and explains that Cruise bought a sonogram for her doctor's use, not his. (According to Holmes, it was easier for the M.D. to come to their house, rather than the paparazzi-tracked couple to go to the doctor's office. Her explanation might come too late for sonogram-aspiring Californians who might be outlawed from purchasing such equipment by a Cruise-inspired bill currently awaiting Governor

Arnold Schwarzenegger's long John Hancock.)

On the CBS Evening News, the Suri Cruise photos were part of a package called "Snap Shots." Tuesday's new-look broadcast also featured theme music by Titanic's James Horner, a Cronkite-voiced intro, a leg-revealing opening shot of the white-and-black-clad Couric and a vow that Wednesday would bring an interview with Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

I agree. I think shes beautiful... very nice eyes... if they are her own and not fixed for the picture.

I had no doubt she actually exsisted and she is indeed really pretty...Tom's still a wacko though

He'll be okay once he decides to come out.

Looks too old to be their baby...I think the whole thing is a publicity stunt. Not their birth child, not that I care, I'm adopted myself, however the whole sham is that they want people to believe that she (Katie) gave birth. Has no one asked themselves why this is the first time we've seen this baby?

No, not really IMO. Some babies do look older than their age...my nephew is turning 6 months in a couple of days and he started wearing 12 month clothes 2 weeks ago. When you see him he looks like a toddler who acts like an infant, wherever he goes he is always the biggest kid (19 lb x 29'). Besides she is older than the average celebrity's kid we see in these magazines...famous people usually do this when their babies are like one day old.

To make everyone wait for so long is nothing but a well thought out publicity stunt that worked better than showing her pics right away...after waiting for so long everyone wants to see her, even those who were not paying too much attention.

BTW I repeat myself...IMO she is absolutely beautiful and looks just like dad.
