Suri Cruise: Hostess With the Mostest (Toys)
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ new Beverly Hills palace served as ground zero for an A-list playdate Sunday.
A source tells News Suri Cruise was joined by David and Victoria Beckham’s broodBrooklyn, Romeo and Cruzfor the kid-superstar summit.
The tots broke for dinner at about 5 p.m. after tooling around in miniature cars, including a small-fry-size John Deere truck and Escalade.
Perhaps the parents cut short the playdate to watch the Lakers-Celtics game, because by the 6 p.m. tipoff, the young’uns had returned inside. David has been courtside for many L.A. games this season.
Let’s hope the kids played better than the Lakers, who lost their second game in a row.
Suri’s Sophisticated Tastes
Details of Suri Cruise’s second-birthday party (April 18) will be revealed in People magazine's upcoming issue: a soundtrack that included Rihanna, bowling, dinner at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge, a performance of My Fair Lady at the Ahmanson and a four-tier birthday cake festooned with edible butterflies.Either Suri is the most sophisticated toddler on the planet or a really short 30-year-old. The mag also says that, despite rumors, TomKat are happy together. They got through a kid's birthday without having to endure a single song by the Wigglesof course they’re happy.
Why do Some A-list Babies Get More Press?
Why are Shiloh and Suri always photographed, but you never see, say, Uma Thurman's kids? Are the paparazzi more aggressive about getting pictures of certain kids, or do the parents of certain kids just make it easier for them to get the photos?Callie, Des Moines, Iowa
Think for a second, there, Madame Curie: Children don't really do anything, not even the offspring of famous parents. (Unless, of course, you're talking about Miley Cyrus. Wow! Billy Ray's kid sure does it all!) So to generate interest from the public, and, ergo, the paparazzi, a celebrity spawn has to have something going for it, like:
- Extreme newnesslike, being born in the past 72 hours, preferably to parents who have never spawned before and who are both hot. Viva little Max and Emme Anthony, heirs to the Jennifer Lopez horde, whose cash-savvy mommy reportedly raked in $6 million for the first magazine photos! Hail to Halle Berry's new baby daughter, title TBA! May she make her ma even richer!
- Parents in the news: fighting parents (Lola and Sam Sheen), bizarre parents (Sean and Jayden Federline, Suri Cruise), dead parents (Matilda Ledger), earth-saving parents (Shiloh and the Rainbow Gang).
- An interesting little outfit with unicorns hand-painted by Sean Penn or something.
- Some sort of news or gossip hook involving both the child and its famous parents, such as an adorable family birthday party at the zoo or such.
Without any of those elements, a celebrity child has nothing to recommend it to the plump, cooing housewives of Middle America, the ones who lap up the bulk of celebrity kiddie gossip and who never fail to buy People magazines that feature a new baby on the cover. So unless Uma's kids suddenly get themselves a new daddyor maybe a new agentthey will remain relatively under the radar.
Even, I suspect, if the unicorns on their little shirts have been painted by Sean Penn.
