EXCLUSIVE: Cruise/Shields' Births -- New Twist

UPDATE: St. John's Hospital still has not called back, but we may have figured out what is going on here. It seems as if the nurses entered the license number of the doctors who delivered the children. Doctors are registered with the Medical Board, not the Nursing Board. Reps from two other hospitals -- UCLA and St. Joseph's -- told TMZ the box for "License Number" should have the nurse's license, not the doctor's.

A rep from L.A. County Vital Records, the agency where birth certificates are filed, confirmed to TMZ that the "License Number" should be the nurse's, not the doctor's.

The same nurse who signed the birth certificate for Tom Cruise's daughter Suri also signed the birth certificate for Brooke Shields' daughter Grier, but there's an interesting discrepancy.

Both babies were born on April 18 at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica. Anne Heffernan is the registered nurse who signed both birth certificates. As TMZ reported Monday, Heffernan, who never saw Suri, signed her birth certificate. A hospital rep says Heffernan is authorized to sign when a doctor is not available.

On the Suri Cruise certificate, Heffernan's license number is G48079. On the Grier Henchy certificate, Heffernan's license number is different -- G068399. TMZ checked with the California Board of Registered Nursing and we were told Heffernan's license number didn't match either of the birth certificates. A Board rep told TMZ Hefferman's license number is 317058.

And it gets more interesting. The Board of Registered Nursing told TMZ the license number on Grier's certificate comes back to a Dorothy Rork. The license number on Suri's birth certificate is a mystery. There is no name attached to that license number.

By the way, unlike Suri's birth certificate, Brooke Shields signed the one for her daughter. Someone listed as "Friend" signed the certificate for Suri.

Also, the hospital's policy is to file birth certificates with L.A. County within 10 days of birth. In the case of Suri, it took 20 days to file, in part because the "friend" didn't sign for 16 days. In Grier's case, Brooke herself signed two days after her birth and the certificate was filed nine days after the baby was born.

TMZ placed multiple calls to St. John's. So far, no comment.

Something foul is brewing here.
I LOVE sordid detective work and the details they uncovered.

I love that there's a thorn in Thetan Tom's paw that won't go away.

If he is gay- what's the big deal? Why go to elaborate lengths to hide what people are snickering about. On the other hand, this has been some great giggles.

Why is Heffernan's number correct on either? Did they kill her and replace her with a replicant?

What the hell is going on here????

Show me the Suri damnit!!!

LynnieD · July 11th, 2006, 09:12 PM

I'm so confused......

I mean, how long can this go on seriously???

It is incredibly strange that Tom would go through so much to make his engagement and pregnancy so public (granted he had a film coming out both times) and then hide the baby ... perhaps she'll make an appearance when MI3 is released on DVD.

TedC keeps promising that a new tell all autobiography with lots of insider info is coming in the fall. I'm saving my pennies to read it.

Tom and Katie are probably freaking out now that their entire sham is so close to being publicly revealed (and proven). I bet they will have rented/bought a Suri within a week.

i'm wondering how a reputable hospital has so many foul ups regarding the filling out & filing of a birth certificate!

The plot is thickening.

I agree. They are finding real life screw-ups and mysterious shit. This is not involving speculation(is she pregnant or isn't she) but instead factual real life inconsistencies. The hospital for it's own sake and rep. should be trying to explain this stuff.

Seriously! Makes it looks like the hospital was paid to be part of the action!

I think TMZ or another source could be on its way to solving this mystery.
