Moby has slammed Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes for publishing photos of baby Suri.

The couple authorised pictures of their daughter for the October issue of Vanity Fair magazine, but the singer believes it is merely a cheap publicity shot.

He made his feelings abundantly clear on his web blog, in which he wrote: "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 added: "I'm sorry, I try not to be too judgemental, but it's gross."
