In the tabloid sense, that is.
Here we go...
Coincidentally, two tiny tots who have had millions of people anxiously awaiting their arrival make their first appearance on the same day.
Well, only one of them actually popped out of a uterus today. The other one has been shrouded in conspiracy theory ever since she was born in April.
Hi future Emperor of Japan!
Poor Princess Aiko. It's always like that in Asian societies kiddo, boys are PRECIOUS. Maybe I'll have a word with your PM about continuing with the You-go-girl-empress constitutional debate. He and I are on same-hairstyle basis anyway.
Hi Suri Cruise! My, what bushy hair you have. EDIT: Ok, today I feel generous (and reluctant to work, but heck it's lunchtime anyway) so here's a picture of the impending Vanity Fair cover.
Vanity Fair presents - the TomKat baby. TomKitten!
Am I the only person who thinks that she looks like Bjork? Wouldn't a tiny swan outfit look SO cute on her?
Why is she stuffed into Tom's jacket?
Does he have pregnancy/seahorse fantasies?
Who wrote that crappy caption - Yes, Suri, She's our baby??? A tad defensive? Maybe it is reflective of TomKat's feelings. Snerk.
In other news, here's a bit of trivia for those following the frenzied media canonisation of the recently demised crazy blond guy in tiny tight shorts. His signature "crikey" is pronounced "croikee". I had a classmate whose speech patterns were almost exactly like his. Ocker or not, that really is how some Aussies speak.
It's funny how the cultural cringe that the Australian media quite happily shrugged at him before this has suddenly become a collective heaving of shoulders. As one journalist quite aptly (only a matter of time before this "pun" would surface) wondered...crocodile tears?
What was genuinely (and I'm sure unintentionally) poignant though, was the filler sequence thing that a lot of tv shows have, just before cutting to commercials, during last night's rebroadcast by Animal Planet of one of Steve Irwin's programmes. When they cut to commercials, the filler said -
"Crocodile Hunter will be back."
No he won't.
I won't say rest in peace Steve Irwin, cos that didn't seem to be in his nature. Better to think that somewhere in crocodile heaven where handbags are made of hands, Steve's either having a friendly wrestle or a cold beer with them beasties.
And I think he'd forgive the stingray.

He'd DEFINITELY forgive that stingray :) And, yes, CROIKEE is the way to pronounce it. Heh.
Heh. The stingray was innocent! I'm sure it never meant to hurt him. Besides it wouldn't be the first animal that he's gotten too close to.
How come she is in his jacket, ah? Maybe she is cold? Or maybe he is trying to imitate a roo with its baby in its pouch. Hee....But what lovely black hair! The baby's I mean.
But poor Steve. I had a friend who was so distraught over the news I thought he was gonna fly over there to mourn.
You know, Suri does look a little bit like both. I think she'll be a pretty little girl. Who'll end up rejecting her father's nutty Scientology theories and get tattoos and piercings and whatnot.
Princess Aiko, on the other hand, would probably breathe a sigh of relief. Unlike other royalty around the world, she can actually become a normal citizen once she marries a commoner.
Yes it's a pity that Steve Irwin died. But why's everyone sho shocked that he died so suddenly? I mean, the man jumps into...billabongs...to wrestle with crocs. I guess everyone's grown up on superhero stories, and heroes don't just die. And a Crocodile Hunter is as close to a modern hero as you can get.
BTW do you stay somewhere that rhymes with Rihanna? And is Mum's Place good/cheap?
will - maybe ppl are shocked that he didnt die in the jaws of a crocodile. I mean, stingrays. Only 17 reported stingray assasins in recorded history.
I think a lot of ppl felt guilty for having ridiculed his overblown showmanship when he was alive, so they overcompensate with what is tantamount to crocodile/transient tears.
How many ppl actually realised the extent of his conservation work off-camera?
And yes will, good rhyming there. Mum's Place - yeah, good stuff. Not cheap, but large portions.
i ate a stingray for dinner the day i heard the news. lol... our 'revenge' theory...
debz - Haha..almost as good as the controversial flash game that was created soon after - Terry Irwin's Revenge - the objective of which is to kill as many stingrays as possible.
As disrespectful as the game's premise is...it is kinda funny. :)
