Tom, Katie and Suri: Show me the Patriotism!

Tom and Katie Pretend They’re Not Starring in an American Eagle Ad Campaign.

Could Tom Cruise be a bit jealous of another actor (who doesn’t happen to be him) “owning” the 4th of July opening weekend? As far as Hollywood Studio execs go, there’s only one star to hitch their box office greed to: Will Smith. Smith has traditionally owned the July 4th long weekend based on the past performance of his movies which opened on the holiday like Independence Day, Men In Black, and Men In Black 2. All went on to earn $442 million in worldwide gross. Compared to that impressive track record, Cruise’s current ROI ranking is abysmally low.

In light of these branding short comings, the marketing machine behind Team Cruise cooked up the photo op above. We’ve got the prop department’s Cowboy Hat of American Masculinity. We’ve got a flag-waving little girl with wide innocent eyes. Now, if only Katie’s character were being played by, say, the empty-headed Lauren Conrad… the Tri-fecta of A-Grade American Propaganda would be complete.

And can we just say that Suri’s doing a lot better in the style department these days than Katie? If you have a wee sweetheart who could use some new shoes for summer, shop here for the lowest prices possible on pretty flats for little feet.
