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.

16. The side by side pictures speak volumes. I was inclined to believe the desire for privacy theory until then. The whole situation with the birth certificate is way out of line. I am a nurse and a professional signature bears your professional title (RN or MD) Never have I seen a physician give the authority to a nurse to sign his name followed by a professional licensure number. The whole thing is wrong. Don't believe these inept excuses. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck......

17. In her pregnancy photos, all of her jeans were "normal". That is, I don't recall ever seeing any sort of cotton band or anything that is normally present on maternity jeans, she just wore everything really low slung. Do they have special materinity jeans that don't look like maternity jeans? Because she was wearing those pretty far into her pregnancy. That sort of wierds me out, since all the maternity stuff I've seen has always had that stretchy band thing.

18. The side by side pictures are astonsihing...she seems to have gotten smaller as she approached the due date and then the Barney's shopping photo-op - she's huge again! How wierd!

19. That film of her shopping -- she sure doesn't walk/move like a woman who is about to pop. No one THAT pregnant moves so bouncily.

23. Tom's a freak and ya'll know it. I never liked him for some reason. He always rubbed me the wrong way. Katie's a fool.

24. I am puzzled - the size 2 jeans she purchased...while it may be difficult for me to tell via pictures, was she a size 2 pre-phatom pregnancy?

25. They do have maternaty jeans that are low with no band. I got some at Old Navy. They jsut have some elastic behind the hips part. They are SUPER comfortable!! THey don't suish your belly at all, they sit under the belly. ANd the size 2 jeans....PREGNANT WOMEN JUST NEED SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!! I bought a super cute dress in a 4 and I am still working towards it 10 months later. It's all I have!!!

26. Everything TMZ.com has given us would point to a conspiracy, however... how can you deny this?

27. Tom, Lost all credibilty when he did his interview with Matt Lauer. For one he isn't a Doctor nor Psychatrist to determine if women have post-partem and how to treat it. He's lost a lot of fan's and I am one of them!!!! Karma sucks doesn't it Tom because your not the big time movie star you used to be, you may be number 1 on forbes celebrity list but I dought any longer. This is coming from a lady who has had post-pardem!!!! Back off a**hole.

28. Are you sure about that "basketball tummy" picture. I remember that as being posted as an "evening walk" out side their home just prior to giving birth...say 1 wk or so before the birth date. Also...it was mentioned that someone was walking with her (I thought his or her mom)--but I remember thinking well, just Kate-alone-would be the better "money shot".

30. I am surprised that Tom allows Katie to have coffee what with all the stimulants... wouldn't that encode something into Suri's psyche and screw her up for a lifetime of auditing?

There is no baby. Pregnancy boobs can be had via miracle bra.

As for the sz 2 jeans... maybe they are for the alien baby. They grow fast you know. Saw it on the soaps. Or was that a clone baby??? Hmmm...
