If like everyone else you’ve been wondering what happened to Suri Cruise and why we’ve never seen a picture of her, here is part of the answer: No one wanted to pay for her.
According to my sources, a photo shoot of Suri was offered to Wire Image, the prestigious agency, for sale to the various celebrity magazines right after the little "Mission: Impossible"/"Dawson’s Creek" tyke was born in silence to her unmarried movie star parents Tom Cruise and the dazed-looking Katie Holmes. An auction was conducted, with People, US Weekly, Star and the lesser names like In Touch all putting in their two cents.
Unfortunately, it must have felt like two cents to Cruise given the amount that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt fetched from People: $4 million, not to mention more from magazines around the world.
The Cruise auction is said to have produced not more than a $3 million bid. At that point, the offer was rescinded. The mission was termed "impossible." No further word was heard from the Cruise camp.
Exactly who from Cruise’s strange inner circle initiated the contact is still unknown, although I am told the enterprise was "official." It’s likely that the Church of Scientology would have gotten a cut, too, considering they like to take 10 percent of everything from their celebrity clients.
And now that Suri is almost three months old, has her price gone up or down? The answer, says one of the mag’s experts, is down.
"Shiloh was the whole deal," my source said. "We won’t see a baby like that again for a while."
In other words, Britney Spears shouldn’t expect a windfall for her latest Federline product.

He He He! Seriously, I wonder how much they were asking for? And Jack Black should take some comfort in this story.
