Dance star Moby has lashed out at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for putting their five-month-old daughter Suri on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, insisting they are using their baby as a publicity prop.

The family posed for a much-hyped 22-page spread in the October (06) issue of the glossy publication, which was shot by celebrity photographer ANNIE LEIBOVITZ under top-secret conditions. The 'We are all made of stars' singer writes on his web blog, "Are you kidding me? Putting your f**king child on the cover of Vanity Fair? "Are they out of their minds? Using a child as a PR prop? Argh. In the grand scheme of things fame pales in comparison to family and child-rearing. "I don't know Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, but I really cannot for a second fathom the mind set of parents who would sell pictures of their children and use their children to get better press coverage."

He then adds, "I'm sorry, I try not to be too judgemental, but it's gross."
