The wait is over.  Baby Suri Cruise, with parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is on the cover of the new Vanity Fair magazine. The cover was first shown on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

Katie Holmes tells her that “it’s been heartbreaking” to see what’s being said in the press about her family and her baby. “Some of the crap that’s out there—the stuff that’s said about my parents and my siblings [tabloid accounts implied that Katie's family did not hit it off with Tom]—it’s really frustrating the amount of shit that’s out there. And the stuff they say about Suri?! You shouldn’t say that about us, and you can’t say that about my child.”

Holmes explains that the gossip “eats away at me because it’s just not O.K.,” but that she keeps up on it because “this is my future. This is my family, and I care so much about them. To see how someone as caring and good as Tom is—to see how things can just get so twisted and turned around. I mean, where does it come from?”
