Oh, Please! Tom Cruise Councils Posh on her Marriage

There are some weird families in Hollywood. And by weird, I mean wacko. So far out in left field that they ain’t even in the ballpark anymore. The whole Kutcher/Moore/Willis bunch are a few that top the list, and the Osmonds are a given. But Tom Cruise will also always rank up there when it comes to his family values and what he considers to be proper ways for people to conduct themselves. Many of these ‘values’ that Cruise holds dear relate to family issues, such as when he opened his trap about Brooke Shields dealing with her postpartum depression by using medication. Of course, that was eons ago and I suppose that Lord Cruise has now decided to turn his focus onto someone else in their ‘family’, and that person is Victoria Beckham, wife of course, of David Beckham.

This whole foursome is just weird. The whole Beckham/Cruise clan showing up everywhere together and doing really weird, personal things together is just a little too icky for my liking. But, Tommy-boy now wants to council Victoria about her marriage to David. Apparently, Tom had some very good points that Posh is going to seriously consider. Please. One of these ‘good points’ is that the two (Vicks and Becks) need to make a point of making time together because time apart can cause marriage a lot of stress. Does he realize that Victoria and David have been married for 10 years and have 3 children together? Not to mention the fact that they’re both mega-stars and might realize the stresses that brings to a relationship? This is what The Daily Express has to say about it via Celebitchy,

“TOM CRUISE has become a self-appointed “relationship guru” to his good friends David and Victoria Beckham. The Hollywood actor, who is himself in a happy marriage with actress Katie Holmes, has been counselling Posh and Becks on how best to stay happy while juggling diverging careers, we hear.

A friend revealed that Tom’s pep talk has since had a “profound effect” on Victoria, 35, who is looking to make things easier for David during this tough time in his career.

“After an evening with David, Tom decided to have a friendly chat with Victoria about the family’s future, saying it was because he cared so much about all of them,” revealed a source.

“They love each other dearly but Tom is a big believer in talking about issues . He could see they were both worried about the future and what it might hold.”

The Mission Impossible actor is understood to be concerned that the former Spice Girl – who runs a successful fashion empire from her home in the US – will want to stay in Los Angeles while her husband, 35, heads back to Europe.

“He talked to her about David ageing, his football career, the pressures of disgruntled fans, his loneliness when away from the family and how time apart is how marriages can fall apart,” adds the source.

“Victoria knows that Tom has a point because she saw how their recent trip to the Seychelles really improved their relationship. It seems his heart to heart made a huge impact on her.”

I am tempted to laugh at this entire thing and shrug it off as a bad phony story made up on a slow news day. But Tom Cruise is so freakin condescending, I can just see him sitting Victoria down to have a heart-to-heart. Looking down at her with a frown on his face, shaking his head, acting like he’s God. And then, what’s she going to say about it? That the guy’s a moron and she really hopes that they can break off this life-long friendship soon?

And what could Victoria and David Beckham really have to worry about? The two are so stupidly in love with each other that it’s ridiculous and even if his career is in some sort of rocky patch (I’m not a big soccer follower), it’s not like they’re going to be forced to move their children into a shack. And Tom Cruise is trying to talk to her about it? What has he done recently? His wife is making guest appearances on dance shows and doing one Broadway play. I like Katie Holmes and I’m sure they’re not suffering either but, I don’t think Tom Cruise is in any position to look down on anyone.

I’m sure that Victoria and David are fine. And I’m sure that they’ll continue to be fine. And I really wish that someone would tell Tom Cruise to cram it once and for all.

David and Victoria do Another Ad

July 3rd, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

The last time that David and Victoria Beckham did an ad for Emporio Armani, I thought that it was a little lack-luster. They didn’t seem really ‘into’ each other, they were barely touching and all in all, it just fell a little flat for me. But now they’ve gone and done another one and I must say, it’s pretty hot. Weird. But hot. In this ad Victoria lies across her man with her hair in some kind of funky do while David has some kind of weird grimace on his face. Maybe that’s because he’s lying on a huge hunk of rope.

Victoria does also look like she’s not really at the shoot mentally but that’s pretty normal with any type of modeling as it’s supposed to be about the clothes and not the pretty faces. I’m sure though that Emporio Armani realizes that when it’s David and Victoria, the faces are just too pretty - you have to look. Great shot, way better than the ones they came out with in January! Thanks to Celebrity Dirty Laundry for the pic!

Suri Cruise’s First Crush

May 17th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

She seems to be a tad young to me for a first crush but that may be why children who grow up too close to Hollywood get so screwed up. Well, that and the fact that she has Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as parents so as far as being screwed up is concerned, I suppose that with Suri, it’s inevitable. It seems that she has already made headlines for wanting to hook up with little Cruz Beckham, who is of course the son of neighbors and friends of TomKat’s, David and Victoria Beckham. I suppose it is sort of cute. Of course Suri doesn’t want to actually ‘hook up’ with little Cruz but from the sounds of it, she does seem to be a bit sweet on him. From Pop Crunch,

“Cute Couple Alert! Tom and Katie’s adorable three-year-old daughter, Suri, is reportedly quite smitten with the jetsetting Cruz Beckham, 4.

Cruz is the youngest of soccer ace David Beckham’s three sons with his fashionista wife Victoria. The outgoing little guy has become a regular playmate of Suri’s in the two years since their parents became neighbors and friends. In fact, Suri always insists that Katie purchase a chocolate cupcake for Cruz when the kids meet up for their monthly outing at the Crumbs Bake Shop in Beverly Hills.

Blabbing tipsters tell The National Enquirer: “The children arewonderful playmates, and Cruz has become sort of a big brother figure to little Suri. Cruz is always begging Victoria to take him to Suri’s house because he loves jumping on her trampoline and playing on her jungle gym….They’re also both learning French and Spanish, so they practice together. She light’s up whenever he’s around.”

Suri even showed her affection by presenting Cruz with a drawing she made for him in art class: “She drew stick figures of the two of them — hers in pink and his in blue. They were standing inside a gigantic heart, holding hands.”

The ‘rents are tickled pink that Suri has a crush on Cruz.

“They think it’s a hoot,” a friend of the families told The Enquirer this week.”

Looking towards the future, if these two can maintain some sort of friendship at least, I don’t think that would be a bad thing. They do have a lot in common with both sets of parents being uber-famous and all the issues that come with that. And with the most recent baby boom that took place in Hollywood, it sure won’t be surprising to see many celebrity babies start hooking up and forming relationships. Aahh…future generations to gossip about!

This is Why I Won’t get a Tattoo

April 23rd, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

Okay the real reason why I absolutely will never, ever get a tattoo is because I have a pain threshold that’s lower than a housefly’s and I couldn’t see myself ever willingly allowing someone to poke me with a needle for hours on end. But - this other reason runs a close second - Because it’s permanent and something could go wrong. I don’t even mind the fact that tattoos are so permanent because I would obviously choose something that would have a lot of meaning for the rest of my life. But that’s what David Beckham did too and it still didn’t turn out the way he wanted it to. 

David and Victoria Beckham both have no problem inking away on their skin and they generally choose things that are very important to them too - their kids’ names, symbols of each other, etc. Well the Beckster recently decided that he wanted to think of his hot wife every time he looked down at his forearm and so he got her name tattooed on it. But there’s only one problem - it’s spelled wrong. Bahahaha! From Celebitchy,

“America’s leading Hindu scholars are urging top tattoo artists to read up on their Sanskrit after noticing inked text on Rihanna and David Beckham’s skin is misspelled.

According to the experts, Beckham’s tattoo tribute to his wife Victoria is incorrect - as is one of Rihanna’s new spiritual etchings. Acclaimed Hindu statesman Raman Zed says, “We are all for the celebrity interest in Hinduism and our sacred texts, but celebrity tattoo artists worldwide really should undertake some basic training in ancient Sanskrit language and culture to get this right.”

Zed insists it must be embarrassing for the stars when they realize permanent marks on their skin are incorrect. He adds, “Rihanna has two Sanskrit prayer tattoos - her latest is misspelled. And David Beckham has his wife Victoria’s name in Devnagri script, which is commonly used to write Sanskrit, on his arm - its wrong! The tattoo on his left forearm misspells Victoria with an added ‘h’ - as in ‘Vihctoria’.”

But fortunately for stars like Jessica Alba, Tommy Lee and The X Files star Gillian Anderson, their prayer tattoos are all correct. Zed tells WENN, “I won’t tell you what they all mean - because I’m sure they’re very special to the individuals. We are delighted that so many celebrities choose to pay tribute to Hinduism with tattoos. We only ask that the tattoo artists take the trouble to get it right.”

I think the tattoo artist is definitely at fault but I don’t think that you can overlook the blame on David’s part either. If I was going to get a tattoo and it was in another language, you can be damn sure that I’m going to know exactly how it’s supposed to look and what it’s supposed to say. I just don’t trust anyone with my skin enough to leave it up to their good know-how.

You Know you Have too Much Money When…

March 16th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

In a slow news day, I went to go see what Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were up to. Expecting to find nothing except maybe a few sweet shots of Suri, I was surprised when headlines came up that the two were interested in buying the home of their soon-to-be departing friends, David and Victoria Beckham. Not so much surprised that they would be gobbling up more real estate, but more surprised that this was actually making news, I read on (after all, that’s what I went there for in the first place, right?) It seems that Tom and Katie are interested in the property but may not want to pay what The Becks did for it in 2007. Well, it is a bad market now, don’t you know? From Pop Crunch,

“Now that Becks will be “Bending It” in Italy more often than ever, the dashing soccer ace and his fashionista wife, Victoria, are looking forward to unloading their expansive Beverly Hills estate–and despite the housing crunch, they’ve already attracted a pair of interested owners, their old pals TomKat.

The British couple purchased the home for $22 million in 2007 after moving Stateside for a multimillion dollar deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

According to Star, Tom and Katie, who live around the corner from the Beckhams, hope to use the property as a guesthouse if they are able reach a deal with the Beckhams.

“They would use the place for visitors, but they don’t want to spend much more than $15 million.”

I get that. I paid too much money for my guest home and I’ve always regretted it. Puh-leaze! This multi-million dollar home is going to be used for a guest house? What, pray tell, is so horrible about Tom and Katie’s house that they can’t have guests stay there? Are they that much better than everyone else that their family and friends aren’t worthy to share the same breathing space as the ridiculous couple? Please. During a time when so many people are losing their jobs and so many families are facing uncertain futures, surely there must be a better way to spend your money than shelling out millions and millions of dollars for a guest home. And then squabbling over a mere 7 mil. Please!

Where will the Beckhams Call Home?

February 12th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

David Beckham has been playing in Milan now for a few weeks and although it’s been a huge issue between him and his wife, Victoria Beckham, it seems as though everything will be decided tomorrow. It’s no secret that Posh has loved living in Los Angeles and has pleaded with Becks to stay in America. But he nonetheless struck a deal with the overseas leagues to play there temporarily and see if it would turn into something more permanent. Victoria, I’m quite sure, has been secretly wishing that it wouldn’t turn into anything so that she could continue to be an American. But it seems as though everything will be decided tomorrow as the MLS commissioner has set that date as the deadline. From Pop Sugar,

“Despite all the drama surrounding his possible move to AC Milan, Beckham’s still got a smile on his face as he continues to train. The good news is that a decision regarding his future is coming by Friday — according to the MLS commissioner, if a deal isn’t reached by tomorrow, the MLS will not approve a trade.”

Meanwhile, Victoria is seen appearing as the fashion icon that she is in LAX on her way to meet her hubby. Apparently one of the ‘conditions’ for this trial period is that she goes to visit David every week while he’s in Milan. Well, a weekly trip overseas doesn’t actually sound like that much of a compromise to me but then again, I don’t lead the fabulous life of the Beckhams.

Posh and Becks - Hot or Not?

January 20th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

David and Victoria Beckham are no strangers to photographs of themselves, taking their clothes off, or Emporio Armani and now the two have come together to sell some underwear for the designer once again with this ad. While I am left somewhat unimpressed by the billboard, that will be displayed in one of the fashion capitals of the world, Milan, today, the Daily Mail seemed to think a little more highly of the photo of the couple. From the Daily Mail,

“First they conquered England and America, now the Beckhams have made it big in Italy thanks to the unveiling of a giant billboard in central Milan today. David and Victoria have peeled off for yet another Armani advertisement, which for the first time features the couple together in a intimate bedroom scene. The latest smouldering image, in which the football star is seen lying across a bed in just his briefs while Posh sits beside him in lacy lingerie, is part of a lucrative deal which worth an estimated £32 million in total.”

Aside from the horrible, Winehouse-like eye makeup on Victoria, I don’t find anything particularly offensive or unpleasant about the picture but I just think that there’s just nothing super-hot about it. This is our first peek into the bedroom of this practically-royal couple and this is what we get?!? I’m not expecting soft porn or anything but this does seem a bit understated. I may have liked to see them at least looking at each other. Or, maybe I’m just not a fan of underwear that costs more than my rent.

When Tattoos Just Aren’t Enough

September 27th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in David Beckham, Victoria (Posh) Beckham

It’s no secret that Victoria and David Beckham form one of those couples that seem to know the secret to the ultimate kind of love that knows no wrong and that is just too darn cute to be real! First they proclaimed their love for each other and for their family by inking themselves in many different areas of their bodies and in at least two different languages. Now, because that really doesn’t truly capture their love, they have released two scents, as meant to be paired with each other as Posh and David themselves. The scents are called Signature for Him and Signature for Her and Gossip Girls reports on the launch of the scents,

“Always the fashionable couple, David and Victoria Beckham posed side-by-side as they released their new scents at Macy’s Herald Square on Friday (September 26).

Despite the rainy New York City weather, nearly 2,000 screaming fans showed up at the department store for the launch of the couple’s fragrance duo, Signature for Him and Signature for Her.

David, who looked handsome in a striped Tom Ford suit, offered up credit to his Spice Girl wife, clad in a Giambattista Valli dress, saying that she was “the brains behind the fragrances.”

Unwilling to take all of the credit, Posh quickly responded by saying, “It’s great for me to be able to create a fragrance for him, but he is much more involved than he gives himself credit for. David has such amazing taste.”

Don’t they both, really? They’re not fashion icons for nothing and even though I’m not that big into fragrances myself, I have no doubt that this one will fly off the shelves and fill Christmas stockings this year! Just one more way that Victoria and David proclaim their love!

Getting Those Parties Started

babyshower1.jpgIt was a week of parties in Tinseltown this week with everything from babies to (appropriately) birthdays being celebrated. Stars dressed up in their very finest million dollar dresses, suits, and jewelry to attend some of the very classiest, and not so classy, affairs. And as always, the paparazzi were there to catch all of it! Here were the hot spots in Hollywood this week.

Of the two most popular baby showers this week, there was the shower for Jamie Lynn Spears. Sister Britney flew in for it and even though there were still those that were still trying to find something wrong with Britney, really the worse thing she did was smoke. It was nice that she was able to make it to celebrate the coming of her sister’s child. Jamie Lynn looked very happy too!

But that wasn’t the only baby shower this week. Tori Spelling also had a baby shower to prepare for welcoming her second little one. I’m sorry but aren’t you only supposed to have a baby shower for your first? Isn’t it considered a cash grab after that point?

And George Clooney was beaming with girlfriend Sarah Larson on his arm at the birthday party that Giorgio Armani threw for him. But they weren’t the only power couple there. Others included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as well as Victoria and David Beckham.
