The chatter on celeb gossip sites around the Web is growing louder and more intense. Even normally celeb-friendly US Magazine has waded into the fray and thoughtfully included a countdown clock on its front page. Yesterday, Hollywood-focused TMZ.com uncovered some official-looking paperwork. All are trying to answer one burning question—where in the world is Suri Cruise? Searches on the unseen celeb offspring jumped 154% yesterday, as folks continued a vigilant search for information on the baby girl born to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

The baby hasn’t been spotted since she was born almost three months ago, inspiring many fruitless searches on “pictures of suri cruise” and “suri cruise photo.” Curious searchers have been spurred on by the rampant rumors swirling online and are also turning to the Search box to ask “where is suri cruise” and more ominously, “does suri cruise exist.” All of which is building towards a enormous burst of buzz when the first pics finally surface. Hmmm… could they have possibly planned such a publicity-generating stunt? Heavens, no!
