USA: The first pictures of Tom Cruise's daughter, Suri, are published in Vanity Fair magazine

Actor Tom Cruise's infant daughter made her debut on Wednesday (September 06) on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. Suri, who was born on April 18, 2006, is pictured on the cover with Cruise and mom, actress Katie Holmes. The dark-haired baby is featured in a 22-page photo spread with pictures taken by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. The photos put an end to speculation that had swirled in the tabloids about why baby Suri had remained out of the public eye for so long, including rumours questioning the child's existence. Suri was born after months of non-stop publicity generated by the courtship of Cruise and Holmes, which burst into the open in May 2005 when the actor giddily professed his love for the actress during a notorious couch-hopping appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." A month later, Cruise announced he had proposed marriage to Holmes at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which was followed later by Cruise's statement that his fiancee had embraced his faith in the Church of Scientology. Cruise made headlines again last month when Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone revealed that his Paramount Pictures studio was severing ties with the actor's production company after 14 years, citing the star's off-camera behaviour.
