Burn, Celbribaby, Burn: A Glance at Faux Suri Cruise's Tumblr Slam Book
Burn, baby, burn: Suri mocks "herself" for not dressing camera-ready (via Suri's Burn Book
There are celebribaby blogs, and then there's Suri's Burn Book, a Tumblr that finds the stylish and somewhat judgmental progeny of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes "posting" pictures of her celbrikid peers with cheeky commentary."Just because you don't have a Ferragamo handbag doesn't mean you can behave like a child. (I'm looking at you, Shiloh.)" reads the site's tagline. Fodder for tabloids and TMZ, the charming little rugrats of Brangelina, Melissa Joan Hart, Tori Spelling, and Victoria Beckham all come under fire from "Suri," who is both a trainee in the Joan Rivers school of fashion criticism and, clearly, above doing things that regular folk--or kids--do.
Of a red carpet kid moment with Brooke Shields' family:
Grier Henchy (the little one with the surly disposition) and I were born on the exact same day at the exact same hospital. Now, five and a half years later, I’m me and she’s an angry ginger at a Smurfs premiere. I’ve yet to make my red carpet debut, but I can guarantee you that when I do, I will not be wearing PANTS and FLATS.
