Paparazzi & security showdown for baby TomKat countdown

04/18/2006 at 06:00 AM ET

Paparazzi is now such a constant staple outside the Beverly Hills mansion of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, that their trash build up has become an issue  for city police. Officers have warned the paparazzi to stop littering and now require them to carry litter bags along with their quick snapping cameras. 

The site, said to be the chosen location for Katie to give birth, is also home to steadily growing security force. The couple have guards monitoring their outgoing trash to guarantee that no-one can go through heir personal garbage.  The family also has guards changing shifts every two hours.

Reportedly, one of Tom’s neighbors likes the constant barrage of paparazzi and has taken to serving the group grilled cheese sandwiches.

As if the photogs weren’t enough, the celeb couple’s house is also one of the favorite spots of the local tour buses.  The tourists groups drive by for regular updates on the impending birth of the TomKitten.

Sad more than anything. I am not a big fan of the whole TomKat thing, but it’s sad that they have that little of privacy. I can’t imagine people camped outside my house watching my every move. Then again, Tom probably loves it.

It is sad, but I bet Tom loves it too. It wouldn’t surprise me to hear him complain about the lack of privacy, but I would bet that in private he does LOVE all of the attention!

Tom is a power freak. He is obsessive about control.

I can’t wait for this to be over.

I am so over them. I hope they feel the same way. Bleech!! :(

Tom so loves the attention hense the reasoning for knocking up a girl half his age!

I am sure Tom is soaking the publicity up, especially with MI3 coming out soon. This is all timed very interestingly. He will be in the media continuously now for at least the next 3 months! Poor Katie, she had no idea what she was in for when she started seeing him, I am sure!

DJ on

The timing of all of this is VERY curious. It could be totally coincidence, or it could truly be a publicity stunt. Who knows. We will probably never really know for sure, since I seriously doubt Tom would ever admit anything! To bad they can’t just fade into the background for a good long while!

Ever since he made that joke about eating the placenta ive been super wierded out by him

I have zero sympathy. I think they’ve brought this all on themselves…When you put it out there in such a public way it then becomes a circus, and that’s exactly what’s happened. Nicole must be counting her blessings to be out of it! I’m sure she’s enjoying her much more private and dignified relationship with Keith!

Oh well, I guess they got their scoop when baby Suri was born last night!

Poor family…

My fiancee is 19 years older than me and I can assure everyone it is not for “attention”. I am still amazed sometimes that this type of relationship is scorned at, even today in such modern times.

If my fiancee went on national TV and jumped on a couch professing his love for me to the world, I have to admit I would be completely flattered and swept away…. lol!

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
