Moby slams Suri pictures
Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 09:23 AM
Dance star Moby has lashed out at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for putting their five-month-old daughter Suri on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, insisting they are using their baby as a publicity prop.
The family posed for a much-hyped 22-page spread in the October issue of the glossy publication, which was shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz under top-secret conditions.
The We Are All made of Stars singer writes on his web blog: "Are you kidding me? Putting your child on the cover of Vanity Fair?
"Are they out of their minds? Using a child as a PR prop? Argh. In the grand scheme of things fame pales in comparison to family and child-rearing.
"I don't know Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, but I really cannot for a second fathom the mindset of parents who would sell pictures of their children and use their children to get better press coverage."
He then adds: "I'm sorry, I try not to be too judgmental, but it's gross."
