Suri Cruise’s birthday party - April 25 2007
Suri Cruise may be just a year old but that didn’t stop parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes from making sure she had a birthday party to remember.

A special lunch was held for the little girl at the couple’s Beverley Hills mansion, while the entertainment included dragonfly and butterfly-shaped pinatas, sweet-filled containers hung from trees which release their goodies after being hit with a stick, according People.com.

And to ensure their little one had a good day, TomKat weren’t skimping on the pennies, as Katie revealed in recently how Suri "loves just being outside right now" - so her big present was a gym set for the backyard, alongside a stack of books, balls and dolls.

A source close to the family said the birthday girl was just about old enough to appreciate it, as she was running around "walking and talking".

They added: "Tom and Suri kicked the ball around the lawn during the party."

Family and friends dined out on pizza, as well as cupcakes from Sprinkles, an exclusive bakery in Beverly Hills - which may not have been such a good idea with all those designer clothes around.

According to the source "Tom, Katie and Suri were wearing chocolate" by the end of the party.

Katie’s pap fears - April 19 2007
Katie Holmes has apparently called in the police after getting frightened by the paparazzi in the town where she is shooting her new movie.

The actress is in Shreveport, Louisiana, to make Mad Money, co-starring Diane Keaton. It’s her first film since giving birth to daughter Suri a year ago.

According to the Us Weekly magazine website, the 28-year-old star got spooked by two photographers and her entourage called the local cops.

Katie was on her way to department store Target in the town and the officers escorted her inside and then followed her around the shop while she browsed for clothes.

Mrs Cruise’s spokesperson confirms: "The production office gave Katie the name of the chief of police and told her to call if she felt she needed it."

Since arriving in the small town, she has been besieged by snappers, desperate to catch her at work. The film - a heist comedy - is expected out some time next year.

Happy Birthday to Suri - April 18 2007
Suri Cruise is one today. When the pretty baby was born a year ago, she was hidden from the glare of the world until September, when mum Katie Holmes and dad Tom Cruise posed for pictures with her in Vanity Fair.

Suri, who was born after months of publicity generated by the courtship of the Tinseltown duo, including Tom’s couch-hopping appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, was the first biological child for the War Of The Worlds actor, who has two adopted children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

"She has Kate’s lips and eyes," he said of Suri. "I think she looks like Kate."

"I think she has Tom’s eyes. I think she looks like Tom. She’s a glorious girl. She’s the miracle of our life," the former Dawson’s Creek actress added.
