Sects and sensibility

Can it really be that the Beckhams hope to continue their long and close friendship with Tom Cruise and that girl who used to be in Full House or whatever it was and not become Scientologists?

According to The Sun (with everything that that means), David's really keen, but Victoria isn't. Not because she can see that joining a religion started for a bet and based on something that sounds like a discarded Space 1999 plotline is setting yourself up for a bigger disappointment than a person buying a 'Get Fit The Janice Battersby way' DVD.

Oh, no: Vix is just too mean to buy into the cult:

A source close to the Beckhams said: “Tom spoke to David for hours about Scientology. He feels it could help to lift him out of the blues over his football career.

“But Victoria is having none of it. She can’t see the point of joining something like that where you have to donate money."

You don't know whether to laugh or cover your head in post-it notes, do you?

David has, however, managed to get himself muddled up in something else: he's going to appear in Goal 3:

David, who has a cameo role in Goal 2, said: “It’s nerve-wracking but I’m sure these films will go down in history.”

Well, if by "go down in history" you mean "will have a half-finished IMDB entry", you're probably right, David.

Meanwhile, the Sun reports that Victoria was "mobbed" in LA. How terrible that must have been for, erm, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes who were stood with her at the time.
