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.

31. The enthusiasm was a little too over to top during the pregnancy to come to such an abrupt stop. Unless of course there is something seriously wrong and no one would want that. However, I am inclined to believe it is the ultimate front and perhaps the paperwork on the purchase of the final piece of the puzzle hasn't gone through.

32. As a nurse I can say that the photos of her side by side are acutally normal. The baby "drop" into the pelvic girdle at the last month so those photos can very well be real. Then as the baby gets bigger in the last month, the belly again gets bigger. However, these are dramatic photos!!! Maybe the angle or the clothes attribute to that.

Whatever though, Tom Cruise is insane and Katie Holmes is his Ron Hubbard zombie. Maybe its Hubbard sperm. Maybe she is simply a scientology baby host and a good cover for Tom's homosexuality.

33. the stretch marks picture of katie looks like something was pressed against her stomach...you know, like when you get pillow lines on your face after sleeping. Perhaps though, we are just overreacting?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? maybe they just don't want to get mobbed by papparazi and just want their privacy...

34. I don't think a high profile person like Tom Cruise would "fake" a birth of a child! You couldn't keep that a secret for long. I think that weird Scientology cult is to blame. That whole "silent" thing! As for Katie, those post-pics speak a thousand words. She certainly doesn't look as happy as she did when they FIRST met during that media circus. She looks a HOT MESS!

35. in answer to comment #7 -
I had a child 6 years ago and the stretch cotton jeans were the norm. For my second child, last year, all the new styles were 'normal', just really low waisted and meant to fit UNDER your belly. UGH!! I hated them! I couldn't find the cotton tummy style at any of the stylish shops (had to resort to Walmart)

Also, re the side-by-sides: when my unborn darling shifted into weird positions, it sometimes made my stomach look HUGE, other times, when baby was head up or down, things looked quite normal.

36. If they do in deed have a baby girl, Suri, then why in the hell don't they stop all this horrible talk about her. If it was my baby I would scream from the tallest mountain and show her. I wouldn't let the hurtful comments go on another minute unless this has all been a lie. It that is true fess up.

37. Oprah knows the truth and so does Diane Sawyer.

38. When Katie H was shopping for shoes, I thought, her tummy looked extra big, and she wardled, like pregnant women.
It is strange, even I have to admit. TC can get the best 'copy cat pillow' for katie to stuff under her belly, all with a navel.
Very strange. I am sure that if there were a 'Suri', someone would have spilt the beans.
I guess under pressure to show the alleged 'Suri'- there are babies to borrow or buy.
But the behavior is very very strange. Actors make great liars.
I think something more is going on here. Was all this staged for publicity?

39. I was born at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and so were my children. My best friend was there on April 18 for the birth of her grandson. She saw Brooke Shields husband several times but never saw anything of the Cruise people. She said the corridor was tarped off. Big questions.

40. She doesn't walk like a pregnant woman at all. A very pregnant woman like that shouldn't be walking that fast. And shopping for shoes? Please...wasn't she afraid the baby would come out while trying on those shoes?

41. The stomach is weird looking but not rare, some women carry like that. I think TOM is waiting to have something to promote, then he will show SURI. I wonder is KATE has any say in anything these two do. She is acting like a robot, even looks like one. I thought TOM could not have children. If he did father SURI, great for him, but I just can't help but to feel like something weird is going on with that man!!! They made a circus of their relationship, so i don't beleive privacy is the reason for no SURI, it's the fact that there is nothing to gain from it now. TOM stop acting so WEIRD AND FAKE. And KATE, SPEAK OR DO SOMETHING!!!! SHOW SURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

42. Just because the room was tarped off, doesn't mean there was no birth. Remember ... we ARE talking about Tom Cruise. Only that fool would tarp a room. Like someone REALLY cares that he's there! He needs to take a sabbatical. I'm past tired of him, anyway. And Katie ... don't get me started. She's a brainwashed fool.

43. What is such a shame is that even if Suri exists and she is indeed their biological child there will always be questions. They blew it by being so silent and raising questions. Those questions will go on to haunt that little girl for life. I am so disappointed in Tom and Miss Kate.

44. If you look at the side by side picture, you'll see she doesn't have her arms in her sleeve but rather inside her sweater holding her stomach. I think that you're stretching to come up with your theories.
