Suri Tops Forbes "Hottest Tots" List

NEW YORK — Suri Cruise is the most popular kid on the playground. The 2-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tops Forbes.com's second annual list of "Hollywood's 10 Hottest Tots."

Forbes.com, which ranked celebrity children 5 years old and younger based on media attention and their parents' popularity, said Suri _ known for her stylish outfits and haircut _ popped up in more news articles and blogs than her peers.

Three of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's six children made the list: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 2, is in second place after coming in first last year; Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 3, is in third place; and Pax Jolie-Pitt, 4, is fourth on the list.

"Though not quite the tabloid stars his sisters Zahara and Shiloh are, his recognizable mug and A-list parents give him space in the top five," said Forbes.com of Pax.

Rounding out the top 10: Sam Alexis Woods, daughter of Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin; Cruz Beckham, son of David and Victoria Beckham; Matilda Rose Ledger, daughter of Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger; David Banda, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie; Sean Preston Federline, son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline; and Sam Sheen, daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen.

Forbes.com looked at a year's worth of press clippings and Web presence for more than 50 Hollywood kids. The Web site then narrowed the list, recruiting the polling firm E-Poll Market Research to get awareness scores for the children and consumer appeal rankings for their celebrity parents.

OK, Forbes, are you TRYING to shore-up the notion that Republicans are a bunch of kiddie-porn addicts??

Exactly! "Hot" should not be applied to anyone under the age of 18 (if not 20 or above). It's just creepy.

[PigsCantFly]

From the responses here on the comments, will HuffPo consider no longer publishing these kinds of articles?

Please?

I agree with the posters who say she should not be called "hot." How about "adorable," "precious," and "delightful?" She seems to be all of those things, and this kind of description is certainly more appropriate.

I have to agree with some posters on here...thi­s is very worrisome to call toddlers and young children "hot"....t­hey are just kids for cryin' out loud. This is going a little too far. Suri doesn't look very happy...I never see her smile in any of the pictures.

pretty sick I read to know what exactly they meant by "hottest tots " . "consumer appeal " thats even sicker than the title . this Obbsesion with people kids is disturbing .

[jakkib]

This is sick!! Hot Tots? Are you kidding me? When all is said and done, we have no one
to blame but ourselves if our kids turn out F***** up.

This is using children to sell magazines. Disgusting.
I am also sick and tired of Brad and Angelina. Sick of them!

[TinaGirlla]

I agree with others who have expressed dismay at making a list of "hot tots". Simply not appropriate.

[LadyOWA]

Just because "Hot" & "Tot" rhyme doesn't mean that it is an appropriate title for the article. It really offends me that the magazine would be okay with casually sexualizing small children.

Another reason not to buy their magazine..­.not that I really needed one to begin with.

[vincefango]

Yeah....so tater tots are the only "hot tots" I like. I cannot believe that Forbes is doing this....si­nce when have babies been hot. A bit of an eyebrow raiser to say the least...

Hottest Tots?

I think this is going a bit too far.

Ya know ?

[Highwind]

Hottest tots? Come on, man! Geez!

[Palemoon]

Who cares? In this day and age when 50% of US children aren't getting a decent steady diet of food due to the shambles of our economy you folks somehow find it so important to tell us how well off Suri Cruise is?

Let me guess, this is part of that conspiracy to feed that fantasyland "American Dream" stuff right. That kids might see this and think that they can grow up to be just like Suri Cruise right? Much like people see folks like Bill Gates and think they can be him. Hate to break it to them, but there's only 1 Microsoft and only 1 owner, and it ain't any of us. So stop dreaming and face reality.

[Clare53]

Forbes should be ashamed of themselves for this kind of stuff. Calling children "hot" or "powerful" is disgusting.

[Kikaida1]

Seriously, man, we've had enough Suri Cruise coverage to last us until the end of time. YOU CAN STOP NOW.

[happycat]

I second that!
