Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Had A Baby

According to People, TomKat have procreated! We generally leave Hollywood gossip to the celeb blogs, but our rule is: if we can relate it to music, it's fair game. So you have your choice of Scientology songs: the musical stylings of L. Ron Hubbard (featuring John Travolta, Leif Garrett, and Frank Stallone!) OR ...

Leonard Cohen - "Famous Blue Raincoat" (MP3 Link Expired)

Now ... what to name the little one? Not Moses I'm guessing.

UPDATE: E! gives us the little girl's name: Suri. Her name means "princess" in Hebrew, "red rose" in Persian, and she's already been diagnosed with ADHD, poor thing.

L. Ron Hubbard has to be among one of the worst male singers ever.

I thought Sarah meant "princess" in Hebrew. Sounds like Tommo's bending the rules again!

This type of news is dumb and should stop. Stereogum's not Vh1. I get enough of useless pop culture.

Hey maria*, maybe Tom's saying Suri means "princess" in KABBALAH.

"what connection to scientology does leonard cohen have?"

Nick, apparently the lines:

"That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?"

... are some sort of Scientology reference.

To think, all these years, I'd assumed it was a heroin reference. Shows you what I know.

memememe-I still call bullshit. What's devout Scientologist Cruise looking to Kabbalah for anyway? Aren't there any nifty intergalactic names to choose from?

Yeah, like it's really theirs. It was delivered alright. By some woman who didn't want a child. Their adoption/delivery date was just that day.
I claim proof by the simple fact that Tom Cruise is obviously a eunuch.

I wonder if Brooke used any medication to help her thru the delivery and if Katie had to use some oh how Tom would be angry and if Katie needed some and Tom said no he should be inflicted with some pain himself.

I'm not positive, but I think Leonard has since renounced his Scientological (?) ways. Nice track, though.

Actually, Suri in Hebrew (or more accurately, Tzuri) means: My Problem.

No joke.

Suri in Japanese means "pickpocket". Sarah in Jewish means "princess" and Tom Cruise means "bat shit crazy" around the world.

I wonder how many papers will post the words 'Tom Cruises little bastard has had a fall' or 'Tom Cruise and his little bastard seen here shopping for clothes for mummy'
