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.

63. As much as I think the TomKat thing is very odd, I really do believe that they had a baby. The poor girl has the new mom look. Dark circles, tired, stretch marks. I remember seeing a pic of her with part of her nursing bra showing. Suri is only a couple of months old she doesnt need to be paraded out in public with a mob of people following (remember the Brit episodes!). Besides I am sure their home is big enough to take a stroll without leaving the property. Who knows maybe Katie has a little post partum and we all know how Tom feels about that!! We'll get pics of her floating around eventually.

64. Ok, as someone before me stated, I am also interested to see baby Suri and it is easy to believe the conspiracies; however, that said, has anyone heard of the baby dropping into the pelvis prior to delivery???? As is even stated, the second picture was taken 13 days before giving birth...JUST SAYIN'...

65. Maybe she never even gave birth. My friend said unless she saw Katie naked she would never believe that she was pregnant. The first pictures we saw of her being pregnant, in the blue silk top, her tummy looked a lot like those prosthetic tummy's you see when people on TV shows are pregnant. And why did they get a friend to sing the birth certificate, and also why was it filed one month after she gave birth? If you ask me the whole thing is weird. In Tom's two previous marriages he never had children.

66. I think she was a size 2 before pregnancy or very close to it.

67. Her hands are in her sleeves in that first picture not on her stomach.

68. the "stretch marks" definitly look like she was sitting down and her jeans indented her belly. Possibly fake. Also, remember that photo of her maternity bra hanging out- who does that? You know your going out in public.

interesting about the sonogram machine. i just thought he was psycho for getting one, but now i realize he got it so a doc couldnt!

69. Maybe Tom has finally come to the realization that he should have married Katie before she had the baby. And then again maybe he like most of the other movie stars is out looking for someone else to carry on with. It wouldn't surprise me one bit. He sure did act goofy a few months ago, now he can't be seen hardly anywhere.

70. MR posted at 9:04...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.

That's the most intelligent post I've seen so far....you are so right MR, he is a freak, he always has been and always will be. As for Katie, she's a brainwashed fool.

71. I know when I was pregant the LAST thing I wanted to do was go out shopping at that stage of the game! It is all just a little to weird.

73. Please stop harassing this poor girl. All women go through this change in their body especially the last 3 months of birth. And for all these men reporters attacking her and her baby is just wrong! Leave Katie along. Her furture husband may be odd but it is her first baby. All mothers' are protective of their children and it would only make sense for them to take care of the baby and other kids. Leave them along.

75. Katie Holmes needs to wake up and see that Tom is a manipulating man that wants her to obey him and do every thing he says at snap of his finger.
