Tom Cruise's baby has its poop 'bronzed'

[jameslofton29]

NEW YORK (AFP) - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show their baby daughter off in public, but eager fans were given an unusual preview with the chance to see 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 25 or 30,000 dollars.

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 Wednesday it had attracted a top bid of 41 dollars.

"Mission: Impossible" star Cruise and 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 spokeman for the couple was not immediately available Wednesday to comment on the sculpture.

I honestly couldn't tell you who's weirder...Tom Cruise, or someone who would spend $25,000 on bronzed baby shit. 

[SLCPUNK]

I paid 10 bucks for a polaroid of Danny DeVito's poop once.

I could only fetch 3 bucks for it on ebay, so I lost 7 bucks............

[jameslofton29]

You should have tried to break even on the shipping...

[Mom]

Get the fuck out of here...

[SuperMike]

Why anyone would spend their $25,000 on this is way beyond me.

[Genesis]

Someone should shoot that idiot Cruise first. He seems to have a bronze cast for a brain. 

[Lara]

I'm not familiar with ebay, can someone track it down and post the link?

I just got an email from Kujo........looks like he is getting his poop bronzed next.

Anybody interested?

[Danny Top Hat]

I'll pass.


Does anyone think Cruise and Joey from D.C. are taking the piss a bit here?  I think it's absolutely right that they've not published any pics of their kid - they have absolutely no obligation to.  Maybe this is them having a little laugh at the public's expense.

If we just ignore Tom Cruise maybe he'll just go away?

Failing that maybe a silver bullet would do the trick?

That's even more worthy than baby Cruise's.

[Cornell]

You're kidding me!    WTF happened to Tom? 

[the dirt]

I'd get it if it were 'silvered'. Bronzed? I don't think so.

[Mal Brossard]

I've got a Polaroid picure of a jar of my own pee for $3.50.

I still think Suri doesn't exist and is just a coverup for the fact he's as queer as a three dollar bill.  The turd is probably from Tom himself.

[Sakib]

that is disgusting if its true

[Kujo]

It has to be a joke, I hope.

First he wanted to eat the placenta, I realise this isn't all that uncommon, but still.
Now bronzing a bowel movement.

There is a scary fascination of things coming out of people developing here.
