Katie Holmes

Power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes say they won't be peer pressured into showing off their baby, Suri, any time soon.

It's been 12 weeks since their baby daughter's birth and rumors that Suri Cruise does not exist have started to gain traction as no pictures have been made available and a supposedly shady birth certificate is all we have to go on. Nevertheless, a spokesperson for the couple says that's not about to change anything.

"If and when they do make a decision, it will be at their discretion and not anybody else's," said the spokesman, who has a very interesting job.

Meanwhile, there are rumors that Holmes' parents are going to boycott her upcoming wedding to Tom, as they're not happy about the couple's location of choice. Rumor has it that Cruise will marry his baby's momma within the next month in a Scientology ceremony performed by David Miscavige.

Holmes' parents, Martin and Kathleen, are devout Catholics, and intend to skip the actual ceremony, according to an alleged friend of the couple, who is apparently not trustworthy whatsoever, as he/she went off and blabbed to Life & Style Weekly.

The magazine quotes a family friend as saying that Martin and Kathleen Holmes aren't happy with their daughter's choice of where to marry, and that if Katie were to have a proper Catholic wedding, her whole family would gladly be a part of it.

Katie, who is looking rough as hell these days (see Exhibit A, below) initially wanted a Catholic wedding herself, but realized she'd never win that argument with her brainwashed beau.

"She knows that if she had rejected Scientology, her relationship with Tom could've ended," the unnamed, untrustworthy source said.

By this point, the bride-to-be has become a big part of the cult church, so there is no turning back. The only question is whether her family will come around. We're not even sure which alternative is better.

Katie Holmes, who has rarely been practically in complete seclusion since giving birth to Tom Cruise's love child April 18, emerged from her baby's daddy's home in Telluride, Colo., for an evening stroll with a friend and a little window-shopping.

Not surprisingly, the new mom was toting only a cup of coffee, not the still-unseen and possibly-fictious baby Suri.

"She's back at the house," Holmes told Us Weekly, adding that the little one is also "doing great."

Holmes then hopped into the passenger seat of her gas-guzzling, ozone-thinning, Iraq War-causing Hummer H3 and headed home.

Both Cruise and Holmes have been shying away from the spotlight of late, retreating to Cruise's homes many homes, particularly those in Beverly Hills and Telluride. Yet the more the couple stays inside, the more the neighbors talk.

• Is Katie pregnant again?
• What is the deal with the shady Suri Cruise birth certificate?
• What about those alleged Suri sightings by two Telluride residents?
• Why is Tom such a crazed lunatic?

We may never know the answers to these great mysteries of our time, but the Gossip can assure that it will stay on top of things to the extent that a lowly website can.

Lo and behold, it appears Suri Cruise may actually exist.

Or does she? The Gossip isn't so sure. While no pictures have yet been released of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' love child, her birth certificate has been posted online by TMZ.com. But the document may actually raise more questions than it clears up. It was filed on May 8, 2006, nearly a month after the baby Cruise was supposedly born on April 18.

The official policy of St John's Hospital, where Holmes gave birth, is to file birth certificates within a week of the birth.

According to a hospital official, this delay was caused by the fact that neither of the parents, nor a representative of the parents, signed the necessary document certifying the birth. That person, whose signature is illegible and who is labelled a "friend of the couple," arrived on May 4. It is not known whether said friend was present at the birth, or if said friend is a certifiably insane, couch-jumping lunatic like Cruise.

One thing is for sure, though, which is that the "Attendant or Certifier" of the document was not present. Anne Heffernan, who inked the certificate in that capacity, wasn't in the delivery room at the time and didn't see Suri either. However, a hospital representative says this is standard practice, and that Heffernan is authorised to sign the document if no doctor is available, even if "normally, the doctor signs."

Suri has been unseen since her birth, with no official photo spreads or paparazzi shots. It has however been reported that Cruise was offered several million for photos of his newest child, but determined that the money was not substantial enough, or objected based on his nutcase Scientology beliefs, depending on what you read.

The barrage of Brangelina pictures and an endearing photo shoot involving little Kingston James McGregor Rossdale have left the eager American public pining for pics of the mysterious, still-unseen Suri Cruise.

The reason pictures of Suri have yet to be released could be because new parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are concerned about privacy -- but it could also simply be because no magazine coughed up enough cash.

According to a Fox News report, photo agency WireImage was given a chance to take pictures of the infant just after birth. As happened with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's baby Shiloh, the agency conducted an auction with People, Us Weekly, Star, and others to decide who would get exclusive rights to print the snapshots.

But unlike Shiloh, however, whose pictures garnered a reported $4 million from People, the bidding for Suri ended at $3 million, which her parents apparently decided wasn't enough to go ahead with the shoot. Now that Suri is an ancient three months old, her prices has declined even further.

"Shiloh was the whole deal," a source told Fox. "We won't see a baby like that for a while."

Cruise might be the world's biggest star, but his offspring is clearly second fiddle. At least he has a few hundred million dollars to ease the pain.

She was a natural on American Idol, enduring herself to fans across the nation... not to mention celebs in her native L.A.

Apparently Katharine McPhee is building quite the fan base. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have taken a liking to the American Idol runner-up, with the current rumor being that Holmes met the spunky 22-year old at the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles. The two hit it off, and McPhee has apparently been asked to perform at their wedding.

According to Hollywood.com, after McPhee lost out to Taylor Hicks on the Idol finale, Cruise and Holmes asked her right away to perform.

"Tom and Katie have become Katharine's biggest fans," a source said. "They think she's destined to become a singing legend."

That, or Cruise can't resist the whole "TomKat" name. KatKat does make an attractive couple:

Either way, Cruise and his bride-to-be are big McPhans, and it's hard to blame them (although McPhee's purported association with Scientology is a tad worrisome). The singer is also reportedly meeting with director Steven Spielberg to discuss possible film projects. Wow. Between McPhee and Chris Daughtry, it's beginning to look like coming just short of being named American Idol is the way to go.

Numerous sources report that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have finalized their prenuptial agreement, which would give Holmes $3 million annually, up to $33 million, if she stays married to the insane one for 11 years. A home in Montecito, Calif., will also be hers.

If the marriage lasts more than 11 years, the contract becomes void and Holmes gets half of Cruise's estate. The two reportedly plan to wed soon.

Holmes' parents have told Life & Style Weekly they want Katie to marry Tom now, in spite of their serious doubts regarding the relationship.

"If she walks now, Tom will fight her for custody [of Suri, the couple's infant daughter], and Katie can't outlast him in court," an insider told Life & Style. "She knows she needs to marry him to get the money to fight him for custody, if it comes to that."

Wow, now that's a quality motive. Marrying someone to get their money, so that you can finance a court battle against that person. Amazing.

In any event, it will be interesting to see how many million Katie will bank before it becomes too much. While it would take a lot to marry an individual whose mental capacity is eroding before your eyes (and whose star may be falling), $33 million is sizable motivation. We're thinking of starting a pool, so stay tuned.
