Mission: Infantwear

Tom Cruise skipped a Mission: Impossible III news conference to scour Paris boutiques in search of outfits for his new baby.

Mother Katie Holmes and week-old Suri had stayed home while Cruise went to Europe to promote his role as super-agent Ethan Hunt.

At the news conference, director J.J. Abrams asked actress Michelle Monaghan what it was like to kiss Cruise when Holmes had been on the set.

"To kiss Tom Cruise is, you know, an experience of a lifetime," Monaghan said. I said to Katie, 'I understand why you keep him around'."
