Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are celebrating after becoming parents to a healthy baby girl in Los Angeles yesterday.

The couple plans to call their daughter Suri, according to a statement from publicist Arnold Robinson, who insists "mother and baby are doing well". The tot weighed in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces (3.36 kilograms).

Suri, which is Hebrew for Princess, is Cruise's first natural child - the actor has two adopted children, Connor and Isabella. It's the first child for Batman Begins star Holmes.

Cruise recently revealed he and his fiancee arrived at a name for their child after coming across it in a book.

He said, "Friends of ours gave us a book and we just opened it and instantly came up with the name."

The couple now plans to wed later this year after Cruise has delivered another baby - his latest Mission: Impossible adventure in May (06).

Holmes and Cruise started dating a year ago and first announced the news of their baby plans last October.

Ironically, baby Suri was born on the same day as Brooke Shields' new daughter Grier. Cruise and Shields launched a war of words last year when the Scientologist actor criticised the Blue Lagoon star for publicly championing medication that helped her overcome post-natal depression following the birth of her first child.

And so the end begins

Poor baby, another victim of Scientology

What was this shit about Tom Cruise eating the placenta?

Haha. I would love to hear if he did actually eat it. Sick freak.

Could this baby be the anti christ ?

No he said he was just kidding about eating the placeta and also about katie not being able to scream while giving birth...

read it somewhere but forgot where now

why the tom hatred

help me help u
show me the money
you had me at hello

I actually really like Tom Cruise when he is in a movie. I do not like him when I see him parading around irl for cameras and shit, the guy just comes over as arrogant. That is just me though.

That was Tom Cruise before he got his 'e-meter' results back... then he flipped out.

I like tom's movies besides that his private business is his private business.

No, it's not his private business.

Have you seen the way he carried on on Oprah?

He's making way too much noise and then back-tracking.

the dude is a nut case ':D

...And she being heavy with birth cried out for her topgun; lamenting him for the cocktail that he had giveth her. Her vanilla sky forever gone eyes wide shut. And he being retarded and crosseyed due to his large schnazz asked:" Does it hurt?Is it a boy or a girl?" To which the womb replied:"No Kid(ding) man!"
And so the wench gaveth birth onto the child and the child at first did refuse the birth stating that it was not in its contract but was then lured into it thanks to many advertising deals and later visits to the Queen of Tar Harpo.

Woe to thee o earth and see...for the devil sends his evil with cruise control...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! KILL IT KILL KILL IT IT Iiiiiiiiiiiiit....Bleh.

Thank you Thank you. I'm here all day.

Didn't he also say something laong the lines of "If you dont like Scientology, then fuck you"?

Something like that, but not quite so violent.

'Tis a violent world. Everyday millions die...

Oh he is a twat. i'm sure i read somewhere that he freaks on you if you make eye contact with him!

I'm pos his placenta statement was for real, its surely the kind of freaky scientology shite he wud do... but 2 b fair don't all sorts of face creams and stuff have placenta in them (not human but still)...

And in Chiner i'm sure its a delicacy too! lol

hiya btw toasted long time babe. hope u r well.

Tom Cruise was on Jay Leno last night and although he tries to be a nice guy, he doesn't succeed to be a natural at it. It seems like he doesn't wanna be there and that all that is on his mind is how good he is and the movies he is in. Seriously a douchebag imo which is too bad cos there was a time I thought he was cool...
