TomKat celebrity poopBROOKLYN, N.Y. — Bronzed baby shoes are out, and bronzed baby poop is in, for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (“TomKat”) as they celebrate baby’s “first poop.” The commemoration of baby Suri Cruise’s first poop strives to be the evidence of her existence for a public yet to see photos of the superstar couple’s four month old infant. The sculpture “Suri Cruise’s commissioned bronzed baby poop” goes on display August 30th at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg gallery district and will be offered on eBay with the proceeds to benefit the March of Dimes.
