Suri Cruise reaches new heights...
No video today...
Suri Cruise was spotted wearing little silver heels and a matching sparkly purse while shopping in Boston yesterday with mom Katie Holmes. The two spent the day out and about, while Tom Cruise was in town shooting "Wichita." The previous day, Suri appeared to be wearing lipstick (or was her bright pink pout the result of a popsicle?).
Weigh in on the poll below and then comment on the questions.
Why do you think America is so fixated on celebrities? What do you think it says about America when people think a little girl wearing high heels while shopping is news-worthy? Be honest, would you rather read current events or celebrity gossip and why?
