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.

For the love of everything holy . . . STOP WITH THE SURI CRUISE!

I find this obsession with complete strangers' children more than a little creepy.

Cute, cute, cute little girl. I love Suri Cruise.

"Hot tots"? Ew. Favorites with the public maybe, but they are not commodities.

[SOLERSO68]

"POWER TOT"...mgg­gglgllllg.­..okay just swallowed a little puke there...all good now.

And we wonder why people think this is the most decadent nation on earth? And the capitol of child porn?

Geez, Louise. Want to warp a kid for eternity, start judging their "hotiness" before they attend kindergarten. The Brangelina thing is getting tired too. OK, you got six kids and infinite riches and you do good deeds, but could you just go a couple of days without feeding the media maw and exposing your kids to the paparazzi?

And this study cost how much? Better to donate the money to Meals on Wheels or to help with home heating costs this winter.

Oh, now I know why Palin paraded her family around, at the state's pocketbook of course. Palin hoped Piper will be in the run for top toddlers and Trig, Willow and Bristol each in their own category!

Hottest? Ouch. Try "Most Popular".

I'm surprised Pax Jolie-Pitt is in fourth place as I thought his older brother Maddox would be in that position because a lot of people tend to forget about Pax.

I agree with in inapproriateness of the title. How about cutest, or most beautiful baby?

In addition, I would like it if the Huffington Post kept the intellectual level higher than that other multi-purpose, on-line news source. I think if the people at Huffington try hard enough they can be current and 21st century without catering to the lowest common denominator in our culture.

I assumed the person holding Suri in the pic must be a female friend or nanny until I read the caption.

"Hottest?" Wow, what a term to describe a TODDLER!
Shiloh deserved the top post....she is the perfect clone to Brad Pitt.

[marymansour]

Suri is a pretty child.

[viewfromuphere]

tots are not "hot".....unless your of a more purient bent.......

what the heck is wrong with Forbes' editors.

[Bariis]

I so agree.

[chickenpieeggs]

Something about "Hottest Tots" doesn't exactly ring right....unless this list was created by Paris Hilton.

I would suggest "10 Cutest Toddlers" ..... ( you say 'tot' , I'm thinking 'tater tot' )....

Here's the hottest video toddlers are watching these days, excuse me, the 'cutest' video:
