Silent Birth for TomKat

OK-so I've been quiet about the birth of the Cruise/Holmes little monster. Reportedly she is beautiful, but we all know how fucked she is going to be...And Katie Holmes...what happened to you. Scientology done screwed you up.

The other meaning behind the name Suri: Suri = Surrey, which is also a region of England, which is where the "deceased" L. Ron Hubbard's home is located and it is the headquarters of Scientology in the UK.

PROUD dad Tom Cruise last night said new baby daughter
Suri was "gorgeous" - and praised fiancée Katie Holmes
for giving birth in silence like a true Scientologist.

Cruise, 43, told pals he had been "jumping on couches"
since Katie gave birth to the 7lb 7oz tot on Tuesday.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the birth,
Tom said: "It's a girl! It's a girl! Her name is Suri
and she's gorgeous."

And he praised his fiancée for staying silent during
the birth saying: "Kate was, and is, an absolute
champ."

Cruise stroked Katie's face and held her hand during
the birth to help her stay silent in accordance with
the wacky religion's guidelines.

Katie, 27, managed to stifle her moans with the help
of a pain-killing epidural injection.

Cruise also ordered medical staff to stay silent,
meaning the delivery nurses had to make hand signals
to tell Katie when to push.

The bizarre order was because Scientologists believe
noise when a baby enters the world causes it suffering
in later life.

However, Cruise did let Batman Begins star Katie have
a pain-killing epidural shot, even though he is
against the use of prescription drugs.

A source said: "Tom was determined to make Katie as
comfortable as possible. He was holding her hand and
stroking her face to soothe her during the delivery.

"Everybody in the room was told to stay silent and the
nurses made hand signals. But Katie did indicate she
wanted an epidural to help with the pain.

"Tom recorded the whole thing with a camera and said
it was the most beautiful moment of his life."

Cruise had spent thousands on preparing the couple's
Beverly Hills house for a home delivery. But Katie is
thought to have insisted on going to hospital and Suri
was reportedly born at the St John's Health Center in
Santa Monica.

Cruise's spokesman Paul Bloch refused to confirm where
the birth had taken place but said mother and baby
were doing well at home.

The Sun can reveal that a few hours later Cruise made
a secret visit to the Scientology HQ.

His black Ford Excursion people carrier was seen
leaving his home for the short journey to the Church
Of Scientology Center in Hollywood.

It is understood Cruise went to the Centre to confirm
the facts about Suri's birth to senior Scientologists.

A Scientology insider said: "Tom would have been
required to report back about the birth, tell them if
it was silent or not and if Katie was given drugs. He
would have been asked to hand over notes and
recordings to supervisors who will determine if
anything traumatic happened to the mother and baby. If
so, Katie will be given extra counselling - or
auditing as the church calls it."

Cruise cancelled his publicity tour for Mission:
Impossible 3, which opens in a fortnight, to spend
more time with Suri.

Katie's parents, Martin and Kathy Holmes, are
understood to have travelled to the couple's mansion
to see their new granddaughter.

And Katie's aunt, Carol Zydorczyk, said from her home
in Toledo, Ohio: "I can't really comment but we are
all delighted."

Cruise, who has two adopted children from his marriage
to Nicole Kidman - Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11 -
plans to marry Katie in the summer.

And the new mum isn't dragging her feet over getting
back into shape for the ceremony.

She has already hired a personal trainer from
