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.

91. Everyone seems to forget that Nicole was pregnant when they separated and she miscarried. I really don't care for either Tom or Katie, but if they had a baby its their choice to let the public see her, if they didn't they did a good job of acting to get everyone to care what is going on in their lives.

92. I had a sneaky feeling form the beginning the this whole TomKat sherade was a publicity stunt by both camps.

93. This whole Tomkat story was strange from the get go. I thinks its all a big publicity stunt. No one can go from being 8 months pregnant then almost nothing and buyin size 2 jeans? Come now, do they think we're stupid?

94. Well...I think its ridiculous to suggest Katie Holmes was Not pregnant when its obvious that her entire body (not just stomach) changed! If you look at pictures of her over her pregnancy...you clearly saw bigger breasts, bigger hips, bigger arms, water retention in face, etc. The baby might look like Mortia from Adams Family but she had to exist.

Also...remeber, Tom wanted to sell pictures of Suri but got mad cause he couldnt get same deal as Brangelina. Tom was offered only $3mill compared to their $4mill. I think he feelins are hurt. Tom career is basically OVER! The spell he had on America for 25 years is OVER! sorry Tom

95. This is sooooo stupid! Yes this whole thing is bizarre, but I seriously doubt even Tom could orchestrate a charade of this magnitude. I have known many women who were sticks before they got pregnant and wore 'regular' jeans instead of maternity jeans by shopping in the plus sizes. 86 days is what? Almost three months? Every new celeb. mom is ALWAYS back into red carpet shape in 'just six weeks', or so the media proclaims. Having a personal trainer can go a long way toward fitting into a size 2, and Katie was pretty petite to begin with. Suri (Tom HAS to be doing drugs of some sort to saddle a child with that) is going to be controlled by the Xenumorphs just like her father. Tom is a publicity hound and eventually he will find a way to make the appearance of this baby beneficial to himself and his cult.

96. Are there any skin-showing belly shots of her during pregnancy at all?

97. The side-by-side photos are absolutely explainable by "dropping", something that happens to the baby in the last few weeks of pregnancy. I looked FAR smaller just before labor than I did a month before labor. The baby literally drops several inches down into the pelvis to prepare for birth. Also, babies shift inside the uterus a great deal, and on a small woman with little body fat the baby's position would make a huge difference in her appearance.
That said, I do think that not printing pictures of the baby is a mistake on their part, since all this speculation is not doing anything positive for their public image or careers. People openly wondering if you're a gay man in a lavender marriage complete with a fake pregnancy is not a good sign.

99. ROFLMAO #13.......lets face it...tom's a fag, and kate is his little fag hag...end of story...Posted at 9:03PM on Jul 12th 2006 by linda. i think you are right although i do not like your choice of words in calling tom the "f" word! i've heard from some pretty reliable sources that he IS gay and that he goes overboard to promote his straight image. who knows? the whole thing is definitely weird. sad.

100. Is she giving the camera a "discreet" middle finger under that shirt sleeve in the March 25 pic? And the smirk on her face.....interesting. show me the baby already.

101. It is weird how the size of her stomach changed so dramatically in those side by side pics. one thing i did notice about katie was that her face did look swollen as well as her legs and arms. Maybe they put on some padding to make her look further along then she was and actually had suri a month or two before they said??????

102. there is no suri.

103. are you all realy that daft. does it not occur to anyone that maybe someone so famous is protective of their child and may have no interest in exploiting their child's image. what's so hard to believe about that? and clearly the media making such a big deal is their way of pressuring them to reveal photos. and what is so crazy about buying sz 2 jeans? either they are a gift or she plans to lose the weight. don't get so caught up

104. My theory: As Tom couldn't have kids, They had a surrogate mother and Katie faked her pregnancy. The surrogate mother changed her mind and now they don't know what to do until they find another baby. That explains the weird birth certificate....Logical?

105. I am really starting to think that if Suri does exist, that once again Tom is not the father. I think that right about now, Katie is really thinking she has made a really bad choice to get involved with this control freak.

He didn't have a baby with his first wife and they were married quite awhile. She had a baby after she left him, with someone else. No kids with Nicole, except the ones they adopted, but Nicole was pregnant when he decided to end their marriage...hmmm...she was pregnant by someone else! Nicole is better off without him and I love everything she does now!

Now Katie, whom he isn't even married to yet, gets pregant...yeah right...I bet she is going to get paid big time, simply to keep her mouth shut.

If there is a Suri, she is not Tom's baby. But then again, maybe the whole thing has been a scam.
