I never say anything bad about children until they can talk, so I'm going to be mum on the subject of the Cruise child. But just wait til she's two.

It is so strange that those children are adopted because I think Conner cruise looks so like Nicole Kidman. He has his mothers smile

I think she looks like Katie, too.
I looked around for Katie's baby pic, and didn't find anything yet, but this is her at 5. Very similar looks.

The sunset ceremony was performed by a Scientology minister, according to a statement from their reps. The wedding party included Cruise’s children, Isabella and Connor, the best man was Cruise’s best friend, David Miscavige – the head of the Church of Scientology – and Katie’s sister Nancy Blaylock served as the matron of honor. Though initially there were questions about whether Cruise and Holmes’s marriage on Saturday was official – the Mayor of Bracciano, Italy, said the couple needed to have a civil ceremony in town in order to make it legal – Cruise’s reps say Tom and Katie took care of everything beforehand. “As is customary for couples marrying outside of the United States, Cruise and Holmes officialized their marriage in Los Angeles prior to their departure for Italy,” according to the statement.

I can't wait to see the pictures!!

And ironically, because Tom is twice-divorced, he isn't eligible for marriage in her church, Roman Catholic.

Tomato diet kills six-stone model
By Karen McVeigh

A YOUNG model who lived on a diet of apples and tomatoes has died of anorexia on the eve of an international photoshoot.

Ana Carolina Reston, 21, a Brazilian who had worked for Giorgio Armani, was 5ft 7in tall but weighed only six stone when she died on Tuesday.

She is the second young model this year to die after starving herself and the tragedy has reignited the debate over the use of dangerously thin models by the fashion industry.

Her death, after a three-week illness, was described as a “wake-up call” to the industry by her boyfriend’s mother and Ms Reston’s mother appeared on national television and radio in Brazil to warn other parents of the dangers.

Miriam Reston, who revealed that her daughter had been trying to help her family with the money she earned as a model, said: “Take care of your children. No money is worth the life of your child, not even the most famous [fashion] brand is worth this.”

She said that she had pleaded with her daughter, who had modelled since the age of 13, to eat more and to see a doctor.

“She would reply, ‘Mummy, don’t mess me around’,” Mrs Reston said.

The model, who worked for L’Equipe agency, had spent her last three weeks in hospital after suffering kidney failure. Her death follows the banning of too-thin models from Madrid Fashion Week this year after the death of Luisel Ramos, 22. She died at a show in Uruguay in August from heart failure after weeks reportedly living on lettuce and diet drinks.

In September, models with a body mass index of less than 18 — classified as underweight by the World Health Organisation — were banned from Madrid by local government officials. The move led to calls for a total ban on “size zero” models.

Ms Reston had worked in China, Turkey, Mexico and Japan. She was due to take part in a photoshoot in Paris the day after her death in a Sâo Paulo hospital on Tuesday.

Relatives said last night that Ms Reston had seen specialists about her eating disorder, but had resisted admitting that she was ill. “She had no resistance and the medication had no effect because of her extreme weakness,” her aunt, Mirthes Reston, said.

Ms Reston’s cousin, Geise Strauss, 30, who lived with her, said: “She didn’t like eating what we ate. When she did eat, she ate very little and recently she’d go to the bathroom and make herself sick as soon as as she left the table. She liked apples and she adored tomatoes as well but that was about it.”

Lica Kohirausch, owner of L’Equipe agency, said: “We brought Ana back to Brazil after she did a catalogue for Giorgio Armani and a representative rang me to say she was too thin. It worried me coming from a professional used to dealing with models and I acted immediately, but I didn’t see any physical signs of anorexia on her return.”

Ms Reston’s boyfriend Bruno Setti, 19, is also a model. His mother Viviane, 42, said: “Ana’s death should serve as a wake-up call to modelling agencies about the danger of anorexia. There’s nothing glamorous about an ending like hers.”
Several leading fashion figures have called on the industry to stop using “size zero” models. Achilleas Constantinou, a leading member of the British Fashion Council, was one of the first to call for a ban.

However, Didier Grumbach, the head of the French Couture Federation, said: “To say that we should regulate just one profession among many to avoid young girls getting thin, when everything in our society encourages them to do so, is unreasonable.”

A Chanel spokesperson said that anorexia was a social problem: “People shouldn’t whip up a false controversy. The fashion world is not responsible for anorexia.”

VIEWS FROM THE FASHION INDUSTRY

Giorgio Armani “I have never liked thin girls and I have never made them go on the catwalk”

Karl Lagerfeld “What I really didn’t like was that certain fashion sizes were made bigger. What I created was fashion for slim, slender people”

Twiggy “Everyone is not meant to be skinny. It’s a tricky area. The designer likes to design for slim models. It’s how they feel their clothes look the best”

Mother's plea: modelling isn't worth life
Andrei Khalip, Rio De Janeiro
November 18, 2006

THE mother of a Brazilian fashion model who died from anorexia has made an emotional appeal for parents to take better care of aspiring models.

Ana Carolina Reston, 21, died in hospital on Tuesday from an infection caused by anorexia. She was about 1.72 metres tall but weighed only 40 kilograms. This is considered a normal weight for a 12-year-old girl no more than 1.5 metres tall.

Her death comes amid growing criticism of the use of underweight models in the fashion world. The issue was highlighted in August when Uruguayan model Luisel Ramos died of heart failure during a fashion show in Montevideo.

"Take care of your children," Reston's mother Miriam told O Globo newspaper. "No money is worth the life of your child. Not even the most famous (fashion) brand is worth this."

She said her daughter had been trying to help her family with the money she made as a model.

Ms Reston spoke on national television and to local newspapers to highlight the issue. She said she had pleaded with her daughter to eat more and to see a doctor.

"She would reply, 'Mummy, don't mess me around,"' she told one paper.

Over a picture of Reston wearing lingerie, the tabloid O Dia ran the headline: "Dictatorship of skinny look kills a model."

Many top models come from Brazil and thousands of young girls from all walks of life dream of following in the footsteps of Gisele Bundchen or Adriana Lima. Reston was not famous but she had worked overseas and did some jobs for Giorgio Armani.

There was a storm in the fashion world in September when models below a certain weight were barred from Spain's top fashion show in Madrid.

Models with a body mass index of less than 18 were banned. BMI measures weight relative to height.

Reston's was 13.5. Those with a BMI below 17.5 are diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and a BMI nearing 15 is an indicator of starvation.

well, i for one, still believe the conspiracy theory that Suri's real father is actually Chris Klein, her ex. If you think about it, the whole thing just makes sense...but, hey, i like my conspiracy theories!

here is a link to a gossip story about it. It definately explains the squinty eyes that neither mom nor dad have.

But those first photos of Suri showed she was new born, maybe it's hard to tell by a few weeks, but if she was three months older than they claim, which she'd have to be to be Chris Klein's baby, we'd have noticed! But her eyes do look a lot like Chris's. I wonder what he thinks.

Yes, but Chris Klein hasn't been brainwashed, and most men would WANT to have access to their child. If it was Chris' I don't think he'd stand for the ensuing courtship/marriage and just give up paternity.
