Tom Cruise Wants a Piece of David Beckham

After taking him in at the final Spanish League football match in Spain recently, Tom Cruise decided he had to have a piece of it, and has reportedly made a $79.6 million bid to back the L.A. Galaxy.
Said a source: "To have Tom's backing would be amazing - there's no way Galaxy bosses would turn down that opportunity."
Is this a joke? If not, I think it may be the most expensive case of stalking we've ever seen.

Aww... Tom has a man-crush.

Wouldn't that make Tom Cruise David Beckham's boss?
Who's on top?

Eww...that's down-right creepy.
Eighty-million just so Tom gets unlimited-access to the lockerroom...and the laundry hampers. What's next, miniature spy cams in the shower and steam rooms?

And don't forget newly installed couches to jump on...

Heard echoing no further than the locker room door "...I'm in love with david beckam!"

Scoff if you will--but at least Tom is willing to put his money where he wishes his mouth was.

Oh, please. I am so sick of Tom Cruise. I wish that he and his Stepford wife and their waif would drop off the face of the planet. How long do you think that Becks is willing to put up with Cruise cruising him?

why is everyone posting in caps? we all know tom has height issues. too many caps can be quite intimidating for such a tiny little rich man...

perhaps the question should be why is the system changing the case of these posts. my poat above (and this one too) didn't contain a single cap.

I suspect it has more to do with recruiting Becks into Scientology than in getting into his pants (not that Tom wouldn't like that too).

Tom's blowing 80 million on a sport that americans are just not gonna watch... doesn't matter how hot Beckham might be.

Have you ever seen anything more miserable than Katie in that picture?

I don't see any caps but I do have to enter a code each time now. Big pain.

I agree with Timothy. I believe Tom and Travolta are out to recruit as many young Hollywood types to their cult that they can. That way they can try to influence the youth of America and the world with their crazy ideology.

Wait - you're saying Tom Cruise is gay? But he's married! How on earth can he possibly be gay if he's married? It's conclusive evidence of his absolutely not gayness!

Does this mean that Becks is going to have to become part of that creepy faux religion?

At Least TOM has good taste in the men he stalks. DAVID is one of the most watched men around by the gay family.
