The Buzz: Beckham Cruised to Tom for advice

Report by Mr Smith

'Ex soccer model' David Beckham revealed to me that he turned to pal and 'cult follower' Tom Cruise to make sure he'd made the right decision to sign up for life in Hollywood.

Speaking to me directly via satellite from his current home in Spain, the former England soccer captain allegedly said, "I was on the phone to him for about an hour last night and then an hour the night before.

He couldn't speak any higher than what he was saying about himself, and also LA and that it will be a big help for us to know him."

Cruise was one of the first people to find out about his pal's move to the US. Beckham allegedly added, "I phoned him and said there might be an announcement. He replied, 'what annoucement? I haven't done anything today!' "
