Shiloh beats out Suri Cruise in worth

Posted in Actors, Babies, Brangelina, Movies, TomKat by The Gossip Monger on June 26th, 2006.

According to a FOX news report this morning, the reason we haven’t seen Suri Cruise at all is because nobody was willing to pay $4 million to print pictures of her! One has to wonder what kind of ugly monster she’s gotta be…

The article adds:

According to my sources, a photo shoot of Suri was offered to Wire Image, the prestigious agency, for sale to the various celebrity magazines right after the little “Mission: Impossible”/”Dawson’s Creek” tyke was born in silence to her unmarried movie star parents Tom Cruise and the dazed-looking Katie Holmes. An auction was conducted, with People, US Weekly, Star and the lesser names like In Touch all putting in their two cents.

At that point, the offer was rescinded.” So basically since they couldn’t fetch a nice sum for their baby, they’ve taken to hiding her in the house out of embarassment. Wow. This is after Tom Cruise tried to simultaneously congratulate Angelina Jolie on Shiloh and convert her to Scientology. Speaking of Scientology, apparently had the pictures of Suri Cruise been properly auctioned, the Church would have gotten a cut:

Exactly who from Cruise’s strange inner circle initiated the contact is still unknown, although I am told the enterprise was “official.” It’s likely that the Church of Scientology would have gotten a cut, too, considering they like to take 10 percent of everything from their celebrity clients.

The article also claims that Shiloh’s $4 mil is probably the highest price baby pictures will fetch for a long time:

“Shiloh was the whole deal,” my source said. “We won’t see a baby like that again for a while.”

Just imagine what poor little Suri Cruise will have to face when she meets Shiloh one day.

Update: Contrary to the above report that Suri Cruise photos weren’t sold for $3 million, Tom Cruise is now apparently saying that his Scientology beliefs wouldn’t let him bring the newborn outside, anyway. The article writes:

It has now been claimed Tom is reluctant to show off Suri because Scientology doctrine teaches followers of the sci-fi cult to avoid taking newborn babies out unless absolutely necessary.

A friend of the actor told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “Tom insists he’ll do it in his own time. He won’t be bullied into showing his world his precious angel. Tom wants to obey Scientology rules about keeping babies out of … the public eye.”
