Suri Cruise seen by fellow celeb Scientologist

In the 93 days and counting since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced the birth of Suri, information on the never-seen ankle-biter has ranged from the vague (she's "doing great," Katie mantra-ed to Us Weekly) to the really vague (a supposed spywitness described her fingers as -- whoa -- "small").

Now, fellow L. Ron Hubbard-lover Leah Remini is adding to the nebulous nattering as she recounts her recent meet-and-greet with the mysterious TomKitten.

"She's a newborn and normal size!" the "King of Queens" actress hazily offers to Us Weekly. "Tom and Kate ... want to have a life and raise their baby. They're normal parents."

Remini continues her fuzzy fawning in the pages of People, describing Suri as a "beaming" and "beautiful" baby who "looks like Tom and Katie."

So, for those desperately seeking Suri, be on the lookout for a baby-sized tot with tiny digits, a tendency to smile and a resemblance to the "normal" people who spawned her. That should narrow things down considerably.

The previously PDA- and publicity-dependent duo are "great parents," gushes Remini, who adds that during her visit to the Cruise compound, "There wasn't a second that she was out of their arms except when I held her."

(The Scientology-devoted small screen star apparently rates higher in the shiny-toothed twosome's inner circle than Steven Spielberg, to whom Cruise awkwardly presented a Lifetime Achievement award last weekend in Chicago. The Oscar-winning director told the Chicago Tribune that he's yet to see even a picture of Suri.)

As for the exhausted-looking Holmes, who was spotted on Monday doing some retail therapy at Barneys in L.A. while sporting her now standard uniform of a white shirt and tight jeans, she's "beautiful," Leah tells People. "I'm jealous of her. She bounced right back."

Remini, you'll recall, hasn't always had such kind words for her fellow moms. Last year, she had Cruise's back following his glib-free attack on Brooke Shields for what he called her "irresponsible" popping of Paxil to battle postpartum depression after the birth of daughter Rowan in 2003 (coincidentally, Brooke's second child, Grier, arrived on the same day and at the same hospital as Suri).

"I wouldn't trust someone who had those feelings with a baby," Remini told "Entertainment Tonight." "Do I think she needs help? Yes. Can you take a pill for something that deep? That dark? The answer is no. I got through it, but I didn't get through it by taking a pill."



"Normal size"? "Normal parents"?

Not that I know that much about Scientology but I always find it hard to believe that big mouth Leah Remini is a member. Can you imagine her having a silent birth

How 'convenient' that only Scientologists have seen baby Suri. Like they won't lie for each other
