Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes welcome baby girl

[RichB]

LOS ANGELES - The Tomkitten has arrived. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the high-profile pair dubbed "TomKat" by the media, had a baby girl Tuesday, said Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson. The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long, he said.

"Both mother and daughter are doing well," Robinson said in a prepared statement.

The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning "princess," or in Persian, meaning "red rose," the statement said.

The baby was born in Los Angeles but the exact location was not disclosed.

It's the first child for Holmes, 27. Cruise, 43, has an adopted daughter and son from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

Details surrounding the birth, which was planned under the tenets of the Church of Scientology as a silent procedure, weren't disclosed.

Outside the Beverly Hills home where Cruise and Holmes live, about a dozen reporters and photographers stood by. Security officers inside the compound videotaped the journalists.

A security guard at the gate refused to release any information. A few cars did arrive and were allowed into the estate. A police motorcycle officer stopped by around 4 p.m. and sat watching the goings-on.

The patrolman, who identified himself as Officer Chase, said he was just making a routine check, since activity around the area had been heightened for some time. He asked if the baby had been born, was told yes, and drove off.

A Tom Cruise boycott and 3 pages of eating placenta jokes is somehow worthy of a thread - but the story that the entertainment story that these shows and magazines have been covering for months, now suddenly is not newsworthy???

Riiiiight. eyes

Maybe I should have started a thread asking how much we tip at Whataburger.

Congratulations to Holmes and Cruise.

So what makes obsessing over celebrities more legitimate than discussing tips or fast food? Why the high horse?

Oh, of course. I see that now - that certainly makes perfect sense to do so. My apologies.

No one is obsessing. It was a news story featured on more than one credible news site. Which is why it was posted.

I guess they had to choose between this story and "Tipping at fast food restaurants"

Anyway, no need to stear off path - back to Cruise, Holmes and their placenta....err...daughter.

Hmmm. Odd that someone's feelings get hurt when their threads are rejectd out to half court. But that same person feels free to crap all over various threads and posts.
