With eyes firmly fixed on the mysterious "other side," adorable little Suri Cruise was able to saw through and remove one of the metal bars impeding her escape ... before being busted by her ultra-aware, highly caffeinated birth mother.
Hopefully the ridiculously cute three-year-old will have better luck next time.
With her birth father right on her tail, adorable Suri Cruise attempted to make her escape in Beverly Hills on Monday.
But with her birth mother Katie Homes nowhere in sight, and Nicole Kidman's former son Connor on hand as backup for Suri's dad, the three-year-old's plan was thwarted.
Unlike most other Earth children, Suri Cruise's third birthday party is a media event -- but Tom and Katie had to call the cops when the paparazzi crashed the shindig ... in a helicopter.
Tom's camp called Beverly Hills police around 3:00 PM yesterday to complain about the helicopter overhead. We're told the LAPD airship did a flyby, but the helicopter was gone by the time they arrived.
Cake, party games, and birthday audits went on as planned.
Wearing the latest in Scientologrunge-meets-hippy chic, Suri Cruise's birth mother converted ... back into Joey Potter on "Dawson's Creek." 'Memba her?!
Katie's to-do list: Hackey sack in the quad, ultimate frisbee game in the park, shower, late night drum circle....
Toddler scenesters Suri Cruise and Violet Affleck have ushered in the latest Hollywood trend taking over celebuspawn playgrounds everywhere ... munching on flip flops and cell phones!
With their birth mothers Katie Holmes and Jennifer Garner at their side and no chocolate in sight, S & V are making teething look cool again.
With their mouths covered in chocolate, adorable lil' Suri Cruise and Violet Affleck stole the spotlight from their birth mothers on Tuesday.
While Jen Garner took Violet out for some frozen yogurt, Katie Holmes must have given Suri a Scientolotreat during a visit to one of L.Ron Hubbard's buildings in Los Feliz.
With her Scientolobirth mother at her side, adorable lil' Suri Cruise took time out from playing with non-living things and enjoyed converting hanging out with Victoria Beckham's son Romeo the other day.
Making friends is very common among human children.
Sure, he's programmed Katie Holmes and Suri to stick around for a while -- but when Tom Cruise looks back, think he regrets leaving Oscar winner Penelope Cruz?
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes raised the terror level at a Berlin airport -- by goin' in for some awkward Scientololip-lockin', booty groping PDA. Video best enjoyed with eyes wide shut.
