Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Is Tom Cruise running into some bad Thetans in his effort to convert his new best friends to Scientology? The “Top Gun” star is reportedly eager to welcome sports star David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham to the celebrity-studded religion, but the buzz is he’s meeting resistance from the wife. “Tom spoke to David for hours about Scientology. He feels it could help to lift him out of the blues over his football career,” a “source close to the Beckhams” told the London Sun. “But Victoria is having none of it. She can’t see the point of joining something like that where you have to donate money.”

In defense of Scientology, most of (including the big ones) ask you to donate. In defense of religions, they only ask for 10% not as much as Scientology wants.
I wonder if this is going to lead to a fallout between the new Hollywood four-some?

In terms of soccer skills, this David Beckham can’t hold a candle to the real one. Waxen figures of Beckham, one of the biggest soccer stars in the world, and his wife, Victoria, a former Spice Girl, were unveiled at the Madame Tussauds New York wax museum on Tuesday. The dummies, imported from London, will be on display for two weeks. Their appearance was in honor of the real Beckhams’ hotly anticipated move to the United States in the spring and took place to the strains of Neil Diamond’s "America," the museum said. Their wax figures were decked out in American flags for their U.S. debut. But they’ll don different duds for their display duties: Becks will be dressed in a tuxedo, while Posh will sport a sparkly green dress with a long slit on the side. The waxy couple will be posed at the Times Square museum with her head resting on his chest and his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

At least that version is staying on the East Coast. And is it just me or does it seem like by the UK sending both versions of them to The States that they can’t wait to get rid of them?

 

VICTORIA BECKHAM is showing zero tolerance for ultra-thin models — and has banned them from promoting her fashion label. Yes, that’s right. Size zero Posh — who can make skinny jeans look baggy — does not want women like her to model her new denim range. Instead the ex SPICE GIRL has hired curvy girls such as DANIELLA SARAHYBA for the job. The former pin up for Sports Illustrated mag is well known in the industry for being slightly bigger than the usual catwalk strutters. Some cynics say Victoria has picked curvy women so she will look better standing next to them when she launches the brand in LA. But friends say she only wants to hire girls who have more curves than she does because they look more “natural”. Victoria recently said: “I know quite a few models and they actually eat, they’re just naturally thin girls.” Talking about her new range she added: “I am completely obsessed about jeans. “I have started wearing high-waist jeans but they do really squeeze you in round the waist and by the end of the day I was beginning to have mental images of my epitaph, ‘Victoria Beckham, done in by denim.’” A source said: “Victoria wants to give out a positive image that you don’t have to be ultra skinny to look good. Many of the models on the catwalk make young girls feel insecure about their own bodies. “Victoria doesn’t want to be accused of giving young girls a complex about their image and putting pressure on them to be as skinny as her.”

Good for her for not wanting girls to get a complex over their images. For someone like her to take a stand against size zeros maybe there is more hope others will listen.
