What's With Dressing Toddlers in Heels? (Hi, Suri!)

What is with TomKat dressing Suri up like a teenage fashion freak? High heels are not appropriate on a toddler!
—Liz Ruiz, via Facebook
Well, neither is fame, but Suri's parents have had no problem parading her around in public and in the media since the day she was born. How on earth is Katie Holmes supposed to boost her image as a fashionista without dressing up her 3-year-old like a tiny runway model for an itty-bitty Paris Fashion Week?
I mean what do you want Katie to do, concentrate on her fashion line? Yeesh.
Indeed, high heels were basically designed to make females look sexier. They lengthen the leg and tilt the hips forward. But given that the shoe height on Suri is pretty small, the real issue here may actually be something more serious...
Can Twilight Saga Survive Major Recasting Drama?
Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Summit Entertainment
Sign the petition to bring back Rachelle Lefevre to the Twilight movies! The series will die without her, and fans will protest!
—Twiharder
Right, right. Because when The Mummy franchise traded in Rachel Weisz for Maria Bello, the earth bled, and every Pope who ever lived rose up out of the ground and wept. Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard in the upcoming Iron Man movie, by the way. Just in case you want to stage a sit-in outside the Marvel Comics building and give poor old Stan Lee a coronary.
Now listen. No series has ever died because of a recasting. Terrible directing, sure. But not recasting. In fact—here I go! I'm gonna say it!—the Twilight Saga just might be better off ditching Rachel Lefevre in favor of Bryce Dallas Howard, if history is any indication...
Yikes—What Has Happened to Katie's Style?

What has happened to Katie Holmes sense of style since she moved to NYC? It's appalling! Please, can you send Posh to rescue her?
—CK
Oh, HELLS to the no! Katie Holmes is slipping? She's taken her eye off the ball gown? Paris is burning! ZOMG!
Let's take a giant step back for a second, kids. Katie may look a little frumptastic, wearing her husband's baggy jeans with '80s-style cuff-rolls in front of dozens of paparazzi. (Yes, really. Her stylist confirmed it and everything.) But fashion experts say there may be a method to Holmes' apparent madness...
Can Suri Cruise Even See Past Those Bangs?
INFdaily.com
Why don't Katie and Tom cut Suri's bangs an appropriate length so she can actually see where she is going?
—Trish, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Now, now. There are always celebrity children who are worse off. At least Suri didn't get a Gwen Stefani boy sprout, or, in the case of Kate Hudson's son, Ryder, a Gregg Allman.
Yes, Suri's bangs may seem a bit long. But then again, you must realize that Suri is not of our world, and not just because her famous dad causes regular folks to collapse in his starry presence. There's also a very good chance we've caught Suri in between hairstyles. Let me explain...
Burning Q's: Aniston's Smokin' & Zefron's Baby

I wanna know if Jennifer Aniston smokes. I've read she does, but I haven't seen one single picture of her smoking. Thanks for your answer, B!tch!
— Vanesa, Argentina
E!'s own Matt Donnelly, better known as my B!tchling, says he saw her smoking within the past month—in Miami, to be specific. So there. Make your peace with this scorching fact and enjoy still more of my answers to your Burning Qs!
Hey! I heard Vanessa Hudgens is pregnant with Zac Efron's baby! Is that true?

Burning Qs: Keanu Demystified & Tintin Scoop

Does A-list status automatically apply to that actor's partner if he/she is also in the biz? For example, are Jada Pinkett-Smith and Katie Holmes also considered A-list just like their husbands? Thanks!
—T. Freckleton
No. A-list status comes only from a star's bankability and pay scale, not his or her partner in paparazzi-dodging. Otherwise Tony Parker would have his own prime-time soap opera.
Explain Keanu Reeves. If he's almost universally acknowledged as being a bad actor, why does he keep getting work?

Why is it that celebrities are always wearing the big fashion styles before us little people? Do designers let them know beforehand what the new styles will be, or are they just first to buy the clothes once they hit the stores?
—Mary
The designers don't just "let them know" and then leave the actresses to forage in the wilderness, hoping to find the clothes—although that certainly would make for fine prime time entertainment. No, dear, the labels send the celebrities clothes ahead of season, usually through a stylist like Rachel Zoe, who has worked with Keira Knightley and LiLo. A good celebrity stylist would eviscerate a dolphin if it meant snagging next season's It bag before it hit stores. Same deal with dresses and all the rest.

What's with all these celebrity toddlers still sucking on pacifiers, being carried and pushed in strollers at 3 years old?
—Weaver
So you want me to spit some snark at Tom and Katie over their parenting skills. Meh. I'd rather spit some snark at Madonna, just because she keeps doing stuff. But you asked, so I answer. The reason for all the kiddie holding, according to current and former Hollywood nannies, is much more innocent and sympathetic than you might think. In fact it's even a bit—gag—touching.
See if you can handle the treacly sweetness of the truth after the jump.
