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.


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,
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.”
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.
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,
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,
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,
It 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.
