Baby Suri Conspiracy
I love conspiracy theories. I put zero stock in them whatsoever, but I really enjoy seeing all the creativity that goes into fabricating that “alternate interpretation” of the events. I’ve heard a lot of theories this summer - government conspiracies, celebrity conspiracies, 9/11 conspiracies…
So I’ve decided to dedicate a special Theory Thursday post to what has to be my all-time favorite conspiracy ever: The Baby Suri Conspiracy.
For those who haven’t heard (in which case, what, are you living under a rock?), it goes like this:
Shortly after breaking up with Chris Klein, dear Katie found out she was pregnant with his baby. She was dating Tom at the time, and when she told him, he not only got excited about the pregnancy, he wanted everyone to think it was his. See, Tom has issues with [rumors about] his impotence, the reason he and Nicole were never able to have children of their own.
So the due date was announced to be a couple months later than what it actually was, to allow for the acceptable timeline. Once Katie actually had the baby, the couple still insisted she was pregnant. Unfortunately, sometimes she forgot to wear her enormous tummy pillow:
After Suri was born, she was kept in hiding for several months until her actual age was less obvious. Naysayers claim she just “looks” older than she is, mostly because of the abundance of hair, but the world still remains suspicious.
Adding to the suspicion are the claims from some that baby Suri has Chris Klein’s almond eyes. In addition, there are some minor oddities about the birth certificate that also raise an eyebrow.
Now, total props to the person/s who came up with this - it’s fabulous. AND IF IT WERE TRUE - why, I think that would just be the coolest thing I’d ever heard.
On a sidenote, I decided to do some comparisons of my own because I’m not too good at judging a baby’s age.
See, Button looks significantly older than she actually is, and she always has. When she was born, the most common comment we got was “She doesn’t look at all like a newborn!” Everybody we meet is in total disbelief at her age.
So I figure as far as baby comparisons go, it’s a pretty good match to see if it’s even feasable for Suri to look as old as she does.
Here’s a picture of both babies at 3 months (mine’s the one on the left):
So what do you guys think? Is Suri really older than her birth certificate states? Do we have a bonafide conspiracy here? Does it look like they waxed her eyebrows for this photo shoot? Is my kid cuter? (Just kidding. I already know the answer to that 
)
What’s your favorite conspiracy - celebrity or otherwise?

Well, I guess I don’t give much thought to these crazy things. Yes, I do think her pictures are way out of whack, but I think the media had a LOT to do with that. So, for me, I just choose to believe that they are parents who get hounded way too much and don’t want to put their child through that, and if they lied about the due date, then so be it, they probably didn’t want 5 million people at the birth!!

I’m not sure either way, but yours is awfully darn cute!!!!! Look at all that hair! Mine could only wish! I’m hoping the 3rd one has more than the other 2. LOL

Actually, that makes lots of sense & explains why the baby looks older, because the baby is older. Tom Cruise isn’t worried about rumors of his impotence, he’s worried about rumors of him being gay. Remember, it’s against Scientology.
Normally, I wouldn’t give 2 seconds to this type of thing. But someone who blogs writes for a Hollywood newspaper & so I emailed him & asked him what the deal was. He told me it’s a horribly kept secret in Hollywood & that Klein guy IS the baby’s father. That Cruise has paid people like Penelope Cruise, Nicole Kidman, oh and who else?…to play the part of his wife/girlfriends.
Part of me hopes it’s not true. Only because if he is gay, I want him to be at peace with who he is. Aside from that, I could care less.

Ooh, this is getting better all the time! I totally hope it’s true because I think it would be awesome for a celebrity to actually try to pull something like this off.
And really, they can pull it off as long as they don’t come out and admit it. Because as long as the world only has “suspicions” - which is all we’ll ever have unless they say something - their invented tale goes down as fact.
As I mentioned, I don’t really put any stock in conspiracy theories…but there’s still that part of me that hopes ONE DAY I’ll find one that turns out to be true

I totally believe it could be true. People do this kind of thing all the time. In fact my SIL and her hubby struggled with inferility for years because he is nearly sterile. She got knocked up by someone else (I have a very reliable inside source plus the baby looks like her biological dad) and she thinks she has us all convinced that the baby is her hubby’s. I often wonder if her hubby ever questioned if the baby is really his. It’s really sad.

I also have a daughter who looks older than her age. She’s 2 now and everyone thinks she is 4. So I don’t hold much stock in the rumor.
