Tomkitten's 'first poop' on display
From correspondents in New York

Article from: Agence France-PresseFont size: + -
TOM Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show their baby daughter off in public, but eager fans were given an unusual preview today with what's claimed to be a bronze cast depicting her first solid stool.
The scatological sculpture - more doodoo than Dada - is purportedly cast from 19-week-old Suri's first bowel movement and will be shown at the Capla Kesting gallery in Brooklyn, New York, before being auctioned off for charity.
The artist behind the work, Daniel Edwards, previously courted controversy with a life-size nude sculpture of pop star Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug. That work was shown at the same gallery in April.
"A bronzed cast of baby's first poop can be a meaningful memento for the family," gallery director David Kesting said, adding that he hoped the work would attract bids of up to $US25,000 ($32,793) or $US30,000 ($39,352).
The sculpture, which sits on a wooden mounting with a glass casing, is to be sold on eBay next month with proceeds from the sale going to infant health charity March Of Dimes.
As of today, it had attracted a top bid of $US41 ($53).
Mission: Impossible star Cruise and his fiancee Holmes announced Suri's birth in April.
The entertainment press, which dubbed the pair "TomKat", has shown a seemingly insatiable appetite for news of the pair and their "TomKitten".
A spokesman for the couple was not immediately available today to comment on the sculpture.

I bet the bronzed poop looks just like Tom after he gets out of the tanning booth.

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that poop is one of those things that is always funny and all, but this is going a bit far.

I tried the words Tom Cruise (no quotes around them), and then looked through the different categories I thought it might be in, like "Entertainment Memorabilia," "Art," "Collectibles," etc. Didn't find anything.

A fool and their money are soon parted. Any fool that would buy a turd from anyones kid has to be the King of Fools.
Maybe Tom needs the money , he just got fired.

Hmmmmmmmm, I can't seem to find it on eBay. That's b/c in your eagerness you were looking too soon. The article says :
(quote)"The sculpture, which sits on a wooden mounting with a glass casing, is to be sold on eBay next month ..." (unquote)
Which I guess means September?
But, you know, when you think about it a bronze casting as your kid's first poo-poo might be well worth the price. Speaking P2P (parent to parent) think of the embarrassment factor/blackmail possibilities this thing would have when your kid gets to be about 12+.

Another sign of The End Times. So to speak.
I recall that Tom said he wanted to eat the placenta; then he discovered that he couldn't (it was too big or something). Will that be offered next? And if not, why not?

I saw that the other day on Yahoo. Aaaaah, 'his' latest production. Ewwww. Like Suri is some kind of posession, said with eyeroll.
So we can pay and go to see her first poopie, bronzed for all eternity, or until Xenu returns, but we can't see a picture of her? He's really twisted. And if the tabloids are even half true about Katie having second thoughts about Scientology or something being wrong with the baby, Katie should run - with the baby, he doesn't seem interested in marrying her at all. And we know his thoughts on medical treatment.

Auctioned off for charity??? Not her first bonnet, her first blankie, her surplus gift toys???
At least Brad and Angelina had the good sense to pay the highest bidder for exclusive first PHOTOS of their BABY. Instead of their baby's poopie. (And yet some dweeb will be counting pennies to save up for it...)
To: Rocko
It surpasses William Shatner's kidney stone reproduction.Yes, yes it does. The kidney stone is far less gross in comparison. Shudder. LOL, we need to get some popcorn and sit back and watch the circus, see who the 'collector' is who puts up the big bucks for the poopie. LOLOL.
