...explosion of the tabloid press and the Internet has made the general public kind of insatiable" when it comes to celebrities, says John Demsey, president of Estée Lauder. "People want a sense of familiarity with the people they look up to these days...
...Suri has already been the subject of tabloid dissections of her birth certificate, telephoto-lens bassinet shots by paparazzi and photo-illustrations of how she might look at 20 by forensic-imaging specialists. None of these indignities was imposed upon Cruise's older children, Isabella, 13, and Conor, 11, both of whom the actor adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman and shielded from the press.

It was a prosperous time for the nation, but viewed through the gimlet eye of gekiga pioneer Yoshihiro Tatsumi, industrialization brought not wealth but alienation and cultural confusion.

...great American conspiracy theories, the Roswell and J.F.K. folks have nothing on seekers of infant Suri Cruise. Since she was just a bump in her mom's obsessively studied tummy, the now 4-month-old daughter of enthusiastic unmarried parents TOM CRUISE and KATIE HOLMES has inspired online and tabloid dissections of Suri's birth certificate; blurry, telephoto-lens bassinet shots by helicopter-borne paparazzi; vivid photo-illustrations of how she might look at 20 (a bit like Brooke Shields) by forensic-imaging specialists; and declarations of authenticity from famous friends like Penélope Cruz and Jada Pinkett Smith...
