Katie Holmes and her mom Kathleen Stothers took Suri out yesterday in Boston. The girls’ day out included lots of shopping (of course) and a little trip to the gelato/ice cream parlor. Now… most kids love ice cream, in my experience. Most kids love sweets or special treats of any kind. Suri is no exception. But I’ve never seen a kid go this berserk in an ice cream parlor before. This is the kind of crazy usually reserved for the cereal aisle of a supermarket (you know you’ve passed that kid on the floor in full tantrum mode).
While Suri doesn’t look like she’s having a tantrum, she does look like a little girl who knows exactly how many scoops of mint chocolate chip she wants, and she doesn’t care what her mom says about it. Even though Suri Cruise looks like the most hellish, migraine-inducing brat in these pictures, I totally love this kid. She’s got so much energy and personality, and the comparison between her and her zombie mother is always so startling. Oh, and Suri’s outfit rocks too. Pink cardigan, white tank, and a lavender tiered skirt. I believe she’s also rocking the same pair of leopard-print flats as last week.
In one piece of additional Katie Holmes-is-a-zombie news, one more quote was released from her Elle Magazine cover interview. The interview seems to have focused quite a bit on Katie’s “style” (if you could call it that), lots of questions about her favorite designers, et cetera. At some point, they asked Katie what Tom thinks of her fashion sense, and Katie says: “He usually likes everything, but sometimes I’ll walk out and he’ll say, ‘I think that dress might be wearing you. You don’t need that…Tom has great taste.” It would be easy to go to a “Tom Cruise knows his couture, because he’s gay” place. But I’m going in a different direction. You don’t have to be gay to see that Katie doesn’t have the best style, so anything Tom says to her about her clothes is okay in my book. No judgment.
Katie, Suri, Katie’s mom and bodyguard are shown out at Faneuil Hall in Boston on 10/7/09. Credit for photos below: Fame Pictures
Haha! She pulls a total Damien in those ice-cream pictures!
I love out-of-context photos like that. I have a weird one of my daughters on the driveway that looks like one of them is about to go for the other one’s throat, in real life nothing of the kind was going on. One was just jumping up and the other looking at her a little surprised, but the photo is a total Dianne Arbus-like mystery photo.
scary pic!! ew.
‘yo icecream I’ma let you finish but uh…..”
I’m shocked because this is the most animated I’ve ever seen this kid! Viva la Freak outs!
“She’s got so much energy and personality” That is like when people say “precocious” when what they really mean is “unbearable know it all”.
It is easy to find Suri cute because we just look at photos of her in adorable outfits and don’t have to listen to her sass us endure her meltdowns.
Dude’s face in the second to last picture says it all.
for heavens sake, get a barrette or headband on that kid – her hair in her face is ridiculous. I keep forgetting, though, that this child is the one in control and the parents do what SHE wants – what a mess. I don’t see “cute” at all in her – just a bratty child. period.
Anyone see this kid jumping on a couch in another 20 years or so?!
lol at Ash…
Suri is a adorable and very pretty child I must admit, but what I don’t understand is why she gets so much attention? Tom Cruise has two other children and you hardly saw them when they were younger and it is only recently there have been photos of Conner turning up. A week does not go by when Suri is not photographed. What does all this media coverage do to a child?
What three or four year old isn’t full of energy? She’s feisty, yes. I am so glad I wasn’t buying ice cream there. Screeching children give me a headache.
I see a demon child. She get away with her bratty behavior because of who her parents are.
I see another Paris Hilton in another few years.
photo jojo, you took the words right out of my mouth. LOL It’s easy to see that she has her daddy’s passion, and yes, I can definitely see her jumping on couches in a few years if she isn’t already.
Katie’s aloud to spend time with her Mom without a $cieno minder? Color me shocked!
If I was at the ice cream shop with my nephew and my sister let him climb up and over the ice cream counter and reach down to the area where they scoop ice cream, and apparently scream… I would be mortified. This child’s behavior is inappropriate and her mom does not look like she is doing anything about it.
Remember, she’s a fully developed adult in a child’s body. So of course she knows exactly what she wants, and her parents just let her do as she pleases. She’s adorable now, but she’s going to be a hellion in her teens.
Hey Im 43 and I act this way around ice cream. A girl after my own heart.
Honestly,
You would think with ALL their money they would get poor Suri a haircut or at least brush her hair or put a barette in it?!
Looks to me like they are raising a self-entitled brat, but that’s just my opinion. As a parent, I believe that kids should have manners in public, regardless of the money in their parents’ bank accounts.
The header picture is hilarious. Me thinks we have not seen the last of Suri.
@ Amanda – Thanks. I wondered if I was the only one bothered by the fact that someone is holding her up high enough to climb on top of the glass counter and reach over. The glass is there for a reason!
She is too much, that first picture is adorable.
In the header pic, I can just see her saying “Helloooooo Cleveland!”
Check back in ten years when Suri is STILL throwing tantrums like this and tell me if she’s still “cute.”
$cientologists don’t discipline their children properly because they believe that children are just reincarnated adults trapped in a child’s body. That’s why surly Suri is so demanding, because no one has EVER disciplined her. This is bad for the kid.
And oh by the way…TOM CRUISE IS GAY!!!
The security is following Katie to protect the rest of us from Suri. She’s scaring me AND the kids!
That comment from Cruise struck me wrong. Is it “that dress is wearing you, you don’t need that” or is it “you don’t need that” and the unsaid ‘my wife isn’t going out dressed like that’…? I wonder if Katie’s style, or lack thereof, is just because it’s easier than risking Tom’s disapproval. He seems to be the type of controller that parades around as, “I am helpful” when the veiled intention is, “I am superior”.
When the hell is she going to stop whoring that poor child?
If Suri would of fell through that glass, there would of been hell to pay, it dosen’t matter that her mother is allowing her,& holding her up to climb on that glass.
Children need boundaries. Just wait for her to hit her teen years, freak outs are not so cute then.
Oh! ok then I would be so peeved off if I was in a store and the parents let the kids climb all over the counter, I say this is just filthy, and why is the pap shot taken from behind the counter????? strange.
Have you read that Ron Hubbard was doing black magic and trying to conceive baby satans them would abort the mother (I don’t invent it, it’s his son who wrote it)
Maybe, Tom reached to do it, and maybe Suri IS a baby Satan !…
I have to add that Satan is reported as good looking in the Bible
Oh God, here comes the blanket again. No coat or tights; just a friggen blanket.
WOW! fast forward 10 years, she is gonna be hell on wheels..
she will have no respect for authority, none..
I would have pulled her down and we would have left until she can behave herself..she would have been put down for a nap or something. cause she is a star’s kid-she gets to climb on the counter..
do normal 3-5 yo’s do this?? I don’t have any kids..I have never seen anything like this.
I agree with the poster above, she nees to slip that hair back, makes her look sinister and crazy..
poor kid does not stand a chance.
That intro pic is hilarious!
Re: “She’s got so much energy and personality”
lol – I’d love to read a tell all book from the Nannies that look after Suri.
She is being groomed to be the leader of the scienos…
Their theory is that she is an adult in a child’s body: we can look forward to many, many years of tantrums, chest pounding, screeching and ultimately, yes, jumping on couches and discussions a la the GMD and Matt Lauer (1st interview. Makes me shudder.
lol! I don’t think it looks like a bratty tantrum at all. Kid’s enthusiasm is one thing that still makes my cold dead little heart warm.
comeon guys, we all scream for ice cream
Ha ha ha!! Omigod, in the main pic, it looks like Suri is screaming “You can’t handle the truth!”.
yeah and I scream when hair is in my ice cream.
Tom Cruise knows his couture, because he’s gay” and Katie Holmes-is-a-zombie news. BRILLIANT You rock! Marry me please?
To be fair, when a child is used to barley water I would imagine that the very sight of ice cream would blow her mind. Not excusing her behaviour, just trying to understand it.
Compare the third picture accross (on the top row) with one of Cruise’s cousin William Mapother, and tell me that isn’t HIS kid. She’slooking more and more like him all the time. The eyes have it..Just saying.
““She’s got so much energy and personality” That is like when people say “precocious” when what they really mean is “unbearable know it all”.”
@e, I think you’ve captured it. Every time I’ve known a child who’s been described as having “so much personality,” that child is demanding and undisciplined.
I’d freak out over ice cream if I had been raised on barley water too. Wasn’t that one of the rumors going around about her at some point?
I also don’t think that a child having a tantrum in public means she’s getting no discipline. Kids don’t understand that it’s embarrassing to make a scene, and parents don’t enjoy yelling at their kids and making an even BIGGER scene. She’s only two, she doesn’t understand “manners in public”.
I know I certainly threw my share of public tantrums, and I can assure you that I was appropriately disciplined. Of course the best course of action is to remove your kid from a situation where they’re throwing a tantrum, but that’s not always possible. If Katie had attempted to discipline Suri in front of the paparazzi, I’m sure they could have easily started child abuse rumors. I don’t blame her if she was thinking along those lines and waited for a more private moment to discuss Suri’s behavior with her.
Anyone who’s a parent can relate to that. Kids throw tantrums.
BRAIN-FREEEEEEZ
She’s almost four, she was *actually* born in Dec 2005.
When a small child is throwing a tantrum you remove him/her from the premises even if you have to pick him up and carry him.
Suri impresses me as a child who is used to doing whatever she wants to do. Permissiveness is not loving parenting; it’s lazy parenting.
Yes, Who Cares, anyone who’s a parent can relate to that. Kid’s throw tantrums. And when my 3 year old threw a tantrum like that in public, we’d be outta there ASAP! And it’s unsanitary for that child to be leaning down over ice cream.
I believe Suri is a “special needs” child who will display this behavior even if she had discipline. I also think she looks like a Clone of Katie. Has cloning been done in the US?
Suri looks a lot and dresses a lot like this little girl I know. And she is a brat and unbearable to put up with. If Suri is anything like her, I would not be surprised!
@Praise St Angie! —
Thanks for the before bed laugh!
TalorB and St.Angie give me laughs, Love you guys. NO MORE BARLEY WATER, real sugar! I love this little lady, she has a mind of her own and she is so pretty.
Ruby funny :Oh God, here comes the blanket again. No coat or tights; just a friggen blanket.
OMG she really looks like evil Tom! 🙂
I think Xenu is taking her over in that first pic!
This kid is going to be a total, out-of-control nightmare in a few years. Never happy with anything, because she’s had it all already, and no one ever said “no”. Tom’s other two were not raised in the spotlight, and by a different Mom. The Cruises don’t realize the damage they are doing, and the heartache they will cause themselves, spoiling her like they do.
