Suri Cruise Tops Hollywood List of Power Kids
The most influential celebrity childrens' annual list of Hollywood's 10-Hottest Tots has actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' regularly photographed daughter, two-year old Suri Cruise toppling last year's winner Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to secure top honours, no doubt, due to her stylish outfits, stylish hair and stylish parents.
Two year old Shiloh slipped to second place, to be joined three-year-old Zahara in third place and brother Pax, 4 at fourth.
Each year by Forbes, 50-celebrity children under the age of five are ranked according to the amount of press time and online attention they received in the past year. In order to compile a list of the Top Ten, Forbes then gets polling firm E-Poll Market Research to whittle down the list, based on awareness scores for the children and appeal rankings of their celebrity parents. Suri was referenced in more than 1,300 news articles and had more blog mentions than any of the other Tinseltown kids.
One-year-old Sam Alexis Woods, daughter of world golfing champion Tiger Woods and his model wife Elin Nordegren, now expecting their second child, rounded off the Top Five. Featuring amongst the Top Ten were Cruz Beckham, late Australian actor Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda Rose, Madonna and Guy Ritchie's adopted three-year-old son David Banda, Britney Spear's son Sean Preston Federline and Sam Sheen.
As the financial crisis deepens, celebrity media editors say these children will be more in the news, whether with or without their famous parents, as it is much more fun to at cute pictures of celebrity children than worry about job losses and steadily decreasing bank balances.
