Here is the article from Eonline:

Mum's the Word for Tom's Katie

Katie Holmes can break out the noisemakers: She and Tom Cruise are parents.

Holmes "joyously welcomed" a baby girl Tuesday in Los Angeles, Cruise's publicist Paul Bloch said in a statement. Mother and baby are said to be well. Father is presumably couch-hopping happy.

Their daughter, Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew meaning "princess," or in Persian meaning "red rose," per Bloch.

Cruise, 43, and Holmes, 27, are engaged to be married. Cruise has said the couple would tie the knot sometime after the birth of their child.

Coverage of the Holmes-Cruise baby centered in recent weeks on the Scientology custom of the so-called silent birth. (Both Cruise and Holmes are Scientologists.) Reports said Holmes had been fitted with a pacifier to help her hold her tongue, as it were, during labor.

If such coverage seemed to pry, then Cruise himself kicked the door open in a Friday interview with ABC's Primetime. He denied Holmes had a pacifier, and maintained that Holmes or any other woman in birth "makes as much noise [as they want]."

In the last year, Cruise, giving voice to one of Scientology's talking points, frequently denounced prescription drugs used to treat conditions such as postpartum depression. But to Primetime's Diane Sawyer, he said that the in-labor Holmes would be administered pain-numbing anesthesia upon request. ("If she needs an epidural, she's gonna get her epidural.")

Cruise, the superstar actor, and Holmes, the former Dawson's Creek ingenue, became an item almost exactly one year ago. They went from red-carpet appearances to Eiffel Tower proposal in just two months. Last October, they announced Holmes' pregnancy. Virtually every step of the way, cameras were there to document the couple kissing, cuddling and, in the case of Cruise, jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch.

Cruise has two older children, a son and a daughter, both of whom he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Holmes is a first-time mother.

Mission Impossible star Cruise vows to eat placenta after birth
By Patrick Mulchrone
TOM Cruise yesterday revealed his latest bizarre mission..to eat his new baby's placenta.

Cruise vowed he would tuck in straight after girlfriend Katie Holmes gives birth, saying he thought it would be "very nutritious".

The Mission Impossible star, 43, said: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there." It is the latest in a series of increasingly strange outbursts from Cruise in the run-up to the birth.

He has claimed the baby, due any day, will be delivered in total silence.

The Top Gun star also insisted he "sensed" fiancŽe Katie was pregnant before she told him.

And he has blurted out details of the couple's sex life, saying: "It's spectacular."

The actor, who recently also claimed he has the power to cure drug addicts, has even been carrying out his own medical scans on the foetus after buying himself an ultrasound machine.


Silent birth is one of the rules of the cult of Scientology, which Cruise is devoted to.


The cult - founded by the late sci-fi writer L Ron Hubbard - claims that 75 million years ago aliens came to earth and their spirits now infest our bodies.


Cruise told GQ magazine Hubbard had discovered making a noise had a "negative spiritual effect" on someone giving birth. He insisted that 27-year-old Katie would be allowed to scream, adding cryptically: "It is really about respecting the woman. It's not about her screaming.


"And scientifically it is proven. Now there are medical research papers that say when a woman's giving birth everyone should be quiet."


Cruise also revealed he and Katie have been preparing for the birth by holding classes at their Beverly Hills home.


He said: "We've been studying what a woman goes through. What happens to her body. It's just kind of becoming this fun game of learning."


Cruise said his sex life with Batman Begins star Katie had made him realise one-night stands were "horrible".


He added: "Great sex is a by-product for me of a great relationship, where you have communication. It's an extension of that. If you're not in good communication with your partner, it *****."


Cruise, who has two adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, will not be the first star to make a meal out of his baby's placenta.


Rod Stewart and girlfriend Penny Lancaster took home their baby's placenta, sprinkled it with tee tree oil and buried it in the garden.


In 1998, Channel 4 chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fried a placenta with shallots and garlic and served it up to 20 guests, including the baby's mum and dad.


TV watchdogs later criticised the show, branding it "disagreeable".


But placenta-eating is considered normal in some cultures. Various recipes include one for placenta lasagne. Some say eating it helps avoid post-natal depression.

Re: TomKat baby is born

It just all seems too strange to me. It seemed like she was pregnant forever and she was HUGE (sometimes) and that baby was only 7 lbs? None of it adds up
