Cruise skips news conference to shop for baby clothes

Tom Cruise skipped a Mission: Impossible III news conference today in Paris to hit the boutiques in search of outfits for his new baby, organisers said.

Cruise was expected to show up later at the Paris red carpet event for the film. His fiancee, Katie Holmes, and week-old Suri stayed home while Cruise went to Europe to promote his role as superagent Ethan Hunt.
