Anyone actually SEEN Katie Holmes baby?

[Celtain]

Can you tell how much I can't stand him. Not even going to use his name. When are they going to start showing her off. It really has taken longer than I thought. I though he would be parading the baby around when she was just a few hours old, jumping up and down about her.

[MamaBug]

Well he is overseas for MI3 and I bet they will wait until that all dies down or at the very least until the US premiere ( or did they have that already?) to show her off together. They will want Katie to look amazing, I just read that she was working with a trainer before she had the baby, and I bet she wants to look 100% like Heidi Klum before she does her OK! or HEllo! Photo shoot!

[MamaBug]

Wanted to add that I am hoping that Katie is just hanging out at home BFing and sleeping with little sweet pea and that she does not give a rats butt what Tom wants!

[Jilian]

I'm surprised that they have not had a press conference to introduce her, promote MI3, and plug $cientology.

GAG. I am surprised that mind controlling freak she had a baby with has managed to pull himself away. No doubt he's got her under lock and key and has his "people" guarding her.

[chersolly]

The baby probably has minimal contact with others as per $cientology regs.

You know, I actually applaud them for having a quiet Babymoon and not rushing to "show off the new baby."

Yeah, me too. Except it seems so out of character for CrazyTom. My guess is that they can't figure out how to make Katie look convincingly post-partum, so they're waiting until enough time passes for her to look 'normal' again, without being too suspicious. Okay, I'm kidding. Kind of.

I'm with fluffernutter ... everyone would realise that she was back to normal too quickly if she went for a stroll with the baby. Although since she wore the fake belly for months you would think they could probably make her a post pregnancy prosthetic belly too.

But ... ahem ... the title of this thread is just plain wrong. Don't you know Tom has decreed the name Katie a child's name? Her name is KATE, thankyouverymuch.

Actress and brand-new baby’s momma, Katie Holmes has changed more than her religion since she started dating Scientology poster boy, Tom Cruise. Now through his influence, she also altered her first name.

The former "Dawson's Creek" star converted to Scientology when she began her relationship with Tom Cruise. After discussing the issue of names with Cruise, the two have decided her Christian name "Katie" sounds too young for a 27-year-old and is now known to friends and family as "Kate."

Tom explains, "Katie is a young girl's name. Her name is Kate now – she's a child-bearing woman."

Angelina and Brad sold the rights to their baby's first photo to PEOPLE for $3+ million, which they are donating to something.

Thanks, it's an awesome song.

Talking about bidding wars for photos ... I saw in the online news the other day that Kylie Minogue trumped the media - they've been stalking her for a photo of her bald head (she had chemo for breast cancer) so she got her boyfriend to take photos of her newly growing 'do, then she put them on her website for free! Good for her! The photos are terrific - she looks so happy and healthy. Until now she's been wearing hats and scarves, but since the big 'reveal' apparently she's been out and about without feeling that she has to cover her hair.

But now the paparazzi want to be the first to get the photo of her with her short hair AND her boyfriend (the photos on her website were just of her). Hmph. Leave her alone.

okay, this is hilarious. i thought i was the only one who is sure there is no baby suri.

as a real mom, the things he says just don't seem to ring true. he "loves" changing diaps? she said it was just fine with her for him to leave her and the baby and travel all over the world promoting his movie? he *wanted* to leave his newborn and travel all over the world? it was a "fast" birth?

everthing he says about the birth seems to me like it comes form a guy who has talked to other guys about what its like to attend a birth, but he's never actually done it. bad acting, IMO

also, she never looked pg to me. there was just something so phony about the entire pregnancy. and if she birthed at a hospital how is it that the photographers who were pretty much on stake out at the house did not see them leave the house or return after the birth?

before the "birth" i was certain the "baby" would turn out to be stillborn. they would milk that for whatever publicity it could get them. when they actually reported a "baby" was "born" i was shocked. what are they gonna do now?

this is just gone way too far. the people i really feel for are tom's other 2 kids. are they in on the lies? what a terrible thing to do to kids. how could they ever respect their dad after knowing he's tryign to dupe the world?

i'm interested to see how this all plays out.

I'm still not sure I believe it either. There is just something really strange about the whole thing.
