'I thought they were Swedish Fish,' jokes Katie Holmes as she explains why she bought Penis Gummies for Suri

By JODY THOMPSON

Awkward: Katie Holmes explained that she initially hadn't realise what Suri had picked up in the restaurant's gift shop


It was the picture that caused consternation, amusement and not a little shock the world over over - and now Katie Holmes has explained why her three-year-old daughter Suri Cruise came to be carrying some rather X-rated sweets earlier this month.

Katie had taken Suri and some friends to a New York restaurant specialising in desserts when the little girl was spotted holding a box of 'penis gummies.'

But in an interview for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs tomorrow, the 32-year-old explained she thought they were 'Swedish Fish' - fish-shaped jellies as she laughed off the incident.

Katie explained: 'Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids.

'We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified.'

Katie was clearly still so embarrassed by the episode, she couldn't bring herself to actually say what the sweets were.


Mummy, what are these? Suri picked up the sweets in New York restaurant Serendipity 3


So the former Dawson's Creek star spelled it out to show host Ellen, saying: 'P-e-n-i-s gummies. I said, oh wow those aren’t Swedish Fish.'

Ellen, 53, interjected and joked: 'Even I know that, I know the difference there!'
Katie laughed and continued: 'They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like okay, wow we don’t need that right now.

'Because I thought if I said "put that back!" and then she’s going to say, "what is this?" And I really didn’t want to have that conversation.

'I was like, why are selling these here? This is for kids. And then it was on the cover of a magazine that I’m giving her those gummies.'

To the uninitiated, Swedish Fish are a type of chewy fruit-flavoured fish-shaped candy sold in the U.S. made for decades by Swedish candy producer Malaco, until Cadbury bought the brand from Leaf in 2006.

In the UK, they are sold in Ikea, including the more hardcore 'salmiak' flavour, or salted liquorice flavour.

Katie was on Ellen to promote her new TV mini-series The Kennedys, which premieres on Sunday in the U.S.

The ReelzChannel plans to show the mini-series between April 3 to April 10.
The show has also been picked up in the UK and will also be screened by both BBC2 and HISTORY next month.

The eight-parter sees Katie as Jackie Kennedy and Greg Kinnear as John F Kennedy.

However, the real-life Kennedy family and associates are said to be unhappy about the Jon Cassar-directed series, claiming its scripts were inaccurate and overly critical.

Lindsay Lohan takes a private jet to New York to search for a new flat as she plans move

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Moving on: Lindsay Lohan takes a private jet from LA to New York, where she is searching for a new home


Jewellery store charging $2.99 to watch Lindsay surveillance footage online


Lindsay Lohan is planning to leave Los Angeles and set up home in New York, her mother has revealed.

According to Dina Lohan the troubled actress is 'actively looking' for an apartment to rent.

Lindsay has been seen more and more in the city in recent weeks, flying in on a private jet a few days ago to join her family for a vacation on Long Island.

'She will be in New York a lot more going forward. She's actively looking for places in the city with her younger brother Michael,' Dina said.

'She loves it here. And she has a lot of friends who already have places, so she might sublet.'

Lindsay's decision to move may well have been sparked by her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson, who this week went public with her new relationship.

The actress moved into a beach home next door to Ronson's in Venice Beach, California after her release from rehab earlier this year.

And while Lindsay claimed the move was just a coincidence, it was widely interpreted as a sign that she hoped for a reconciliation with her former partner.

But if she does make the move eastward, Lindsay will still need to make regular visits to LA, where she is facing trial over the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace she has been accused of stealing from a high-end store in Venice, California.

She is next due in court on April 22 after she refused a plea deal.

Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and daughter Scout enjoy a family day out... at the foot spa

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Family affair: Ashton Kutcher tagged along while his ageless wife Demi Moore took her daughter Scout out for a day of pampering over the weekend


Living with four women has obviously had an effect on Ashton Kutcher.

He joined his wife Demi Moore and her daughter Scout out for a day of pampering over the weekend.

The extended family visited the Aurora Foot Spa on Saturday in the up-scale suburb of Beverly Hills, California.

And while for most the thought of a indulgent foot spa would be a dream, the family looked somewhat downcast during their day out.

Especially Ashton, who was not his smiling self as he he headed back to the family car with step-daughter Scout.


Chic: Demi wore a pair of black fitted cargo pants and fur lined leather jacket and a long tie-dye scarf for the outing


The trio were dressed casually chic for their outing, with Demi in a pair of black fitted cargo pants and fur lined leather jacket and a long tie-dye scarf.

Ashton cuddled up in a cream cardigan which he wore over a flannelette shirt and paired with tan trousers and moccasins.

Demi's 19-year-old daughter wore simple black trousers, a striped t-shirt and a grey blazer.


Scout is the daughter of Demi's ex-husband Bruce Willis.

Demi and Bruce divorced in 2000 and have two other daughters, Rumer, 22, and Tallulah, 17.

Willis is now also remarried to British model and actress, Emma Heming.

Ashton was recently in NYC where he was spotted in a kissing scene with Lea Michele for their upcoming movie New Year’s Eve.

The 33-year-old star was spotted puckering up to Glee star, as they filmed a scene for the movie.

In it he plays a guy who hates New Year's Eve, while Lea plays a back up singer for Bon Jovi, who is also due to make an appearance in the movie.
