The TomKat/Suri Conspiracy Timeline

It's been 86 days since the birth of Suri Cruise -- and about a split-second since the latest conspiracy theory about Hollywood's most elusive baby.

New rumors surface by the hour -- that Tom and Katie are holding out for a better magazine photo deal, that Scientology is involved in the mystery, that Suri doesn't even exist!

So what has fueled the rumors? TMZ has created a timeline that may explain why Suri is becoming a national obsession.


Take a look at these pictures. On March 25, Katie, who was eight months pregnant at the time, looked ginormous. But then, on April 5, 13 days before she gave birth, Katie seemed to shrink.

And there's more.




We have video of Katie shopping at Barney's in Beverly Hills just days before her delivery. Katie spent hours inside on a wild shopping spree, and there's buzz that one of the items she purchased was a pair of size 26 Chip and Pepper jeans (which translate to a size 2) -- a bit odd for someone who had a long way to go to regain her figure.

And, of course, there was the never-ending public appearances by TomKat. The paparazzi followed them continent by continent, as the couple was bursting with joy over their impending arrival. But everything changed on April 18, with the birth of Suri.

These are the only images we could find of Katie post-pregnancy. And, of course, zilch on Suri.

And, as TMZ first reported, there are items of curiosity on Suri's birth certificate.

So you ask, why the conspiracy theories? As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

2312. I believe that snice we are so stuck on Hollywood, that we have a right to know when we are getting played. Think about it this people are getting paid because of us. We make them famous, there is no reason for anyone to fake a pregnacy and if they did shame on them. However if something is wrong with the baby cause they couldn't wait to see the baby and bought that machine, then they will have to live with that for the rest of their life. We are not in anyone in the positon to judge anyone. Thats for the lord to do,

2313. My vote lies with #8. I bet Tom really did sonogram his baby into a deformed lump. Not to mention his super big nose and lack of height, Katies genes really have a lot to make up for!

2314. For the love of God people give it a rest. she is a baby. The whole conspiracy thing is CRAP. These people have been bothered to no end by the media and morons who are making up stuff about them and their baby. Who cares if Tom is a scientoligist? Who cares if Katie wants to convert? The last I heard People still had the right to religious freedom.

So they have decided to keep their baby private instead of flaunting her all over the world for the highest bidder. She is THEIR baby. They don't have to show her to the world if they don't want to.

Now that the pics of her are out a whole new can of worms is being opened up. Katie hasn't been out much since Suri was born, but speaking as a mother of three myself, sometimes you just don't have the energy to be out partying until all hours of the morning when you have a new baby. Especially if you are breastfeeding which I read somewhere she is. Your baby is pretty much attached at the breast, so it is hard to go out without her, and since they were smart enough to keep people on their toes waiting for the first sneek peak of this little girl, it would be hard for Katie to get out very often.

She is a beautiful baby and looks like BOTH of her parents. She is THEIRS. Not some baby they found on the streets. So give it up people and leave Tom, Katie and Suri to a peaceful happy existence. The pics in Vanity Fair are beautiful and they look very happy together. Good Luck to them and Congrats on the BEAUTIFUL little girl.

2315. If I hear one more idiotic story about Suri, a future believer in Xenu, I will go freaking nuts! Get a life people, care for the suffering of the earth, not another infotainment celebaby. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

2317. There is a medical term called "lightening" that happens a couple weeks before birth, where the baby sits lower in the pelvic canal (getting ready to come out).

That results in the mom having a smaller belly...so that may be why the pictures are different.

Or maybe because Suri is going to be the Jesus Christ of Scientology and she was to be born to a mother with no real belly. Who knows.

2318. I don't think they had the baby, look at the baby it looks like it's from a different country.

2319. Why is the media and others being so mean-spirited and down right cruel to this couple? Others have made less than appropriate remarks and its an almost daily occurrence of drug or dui arrests, etc. in Hollywood.

I saw part of the Larry King show and the photos show a sweet and loving family. The baby (Suri) is absolutely beautiful, probably the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. She looks like her mom and her dad (Tom Cruise). Now it seem that some of the media is trying to ruin even this with their malicious remarks.

2320. This is so ridiculous. This is the same Tom Cruise that has been adored for his fantastic acting skills for years. He is still a great actor. He has a clean cut All-American appeal that is box office gold. He has held audiences in the palm of his hand for years. I am still a fan. What conspiracy? He has apologized to Brook Shield and I guess he will have Oprah's couch cleaned for jumping on it. Leave him and Katie and Suri alone. This is America, the land of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. He is trying to simply give a very fickle public what thy want- a glimpse of the baby and plans for a wedding to Kate with a united front with all family members. He was criticized for not doing this in the past and now criticized because he is doing it now. Make up your mind. Who is he conspiring with or against? I repeat this is ridiculous.

2321. ther not holding out for scientology cuz when they put suri on the cover on vanity fair the mag didnt pay them a dime.. now isnt that strange?

2322. I think that everybody should just lay off... She was pregnant and she had a beautiful baby girl... YOU ARE ALL STUPID!!

2323. Probably the reason Katie seems so much smaller is that the baby drops before delivery which changes position of baby maybe, plus the clothes someone wears makes a difference maybe. Grow up. This speculation is ridiculous. The baby could not look more like Katie and Tom both. She is a doll. The reason they were not immediately forthcoming is because of media like you!!!!!!! What do you make of the hospital thing? You are all about made up headlines, but these are people and their lives and are you so stupid that you ignore how your behavior will have to accounted for to God? Don't you ever think about human life instead of the money you will make with these headlines? Morons!! Idiots!!

2324. Your comments: I recently heard a story about Suri that has a ring of
truth to it.
The story goes like this....Katie Holmes and Chris Klein broke up one
month before she starting dating Tom Cruise. She was already pregnant
when she started dated Tom but didn't know it. When she found out
about it, Tom decided to accept the baby as his own. All of the
sudden, the couple was announcing a suprising pregnancy. Then
pictures of Katie appeared and everyone said that she looked further
along than they were claiming. Your pictures could indicate that she had already given birth in March and was wearing a fake stomach in April. Then she supposedly gave birth and there is confusion about the birth records. Then, Suri was hidden from the public
until recently because you it is harder to tell the age of an infant
the older they get. And finally, if you look at Chris Klein, he has
slanted eyes. What do you think?

2325. One thing I noticed during Katie's pregnancy, that's never been mentioned, is I never saw a photo with her hand on her belly. Don't most moms always touch their belly/baby when they're pregnant? Something very strange is up with this whole deal. Either she gave birth earlier than people think, or there was no baby and Suri is adopted.
