OMG precious Suri sighting! Extra has a video (after the jump) of an adorable Suri on the set of Mad Money with her mommy Katie Holmes.

As for that little girl, her hair is just so spectacular I can't take it! No wonder she needs her Read more

Katie Holmes is hard at work on Mad Money, but she's still got time to pull a few surprises on the cast and crew. For the past three weeks she's celebrated Friday by bringing special treats to the set. She's rewarded everyone with ice cream, cupcakes and pizza, the last of which she had flown in from Chicago!
