Tom Cruise has told wife Katie Holmes to curb her shopping sprees. The actor is said to be alarmed that Katie is spending a fortune in Los Angeles stores Barneys, Horn and Bonpoint, and has urged her to stop being so "frivolous". A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Katie looks like she has been moping about having to curtail her shopping sprees. She said Tom wants her to take a break as he thinks it might be sending out the wrong message.
"He certainly doesn't have to worry about money and Katie is not on a budget - it seems he just doesn't want people thinking she is frivolous and all about shopping and money." Katie, 28, was reported to have spent a staggering £100,000 at Beverly Hills' department store Barneys during a recent visit. She was seen visiting the store with good friend Victoria Beckham, the wife of millionaire soccer star David, and treated the former Spice Girl to two pairs of $500 shoes.
A few days later, Katie was photographed carrying five bags of baby clothes for her and Tom's 11-month-old daughter Suri.
Now according to US weekly Katie Holmes, 28, has been crying to her British best friend Victoria Beckham.
"Katie has been crying over the phone," an insider tells Us Weekly. "She's frustrated. Tom is denying her every single thing."
The insider adds: "Once, Katie and Victoria talked on the phone for four hours."
A source close to the 44-year-old actor tells Us that he is relentlessly trying to convince the ex-Spice Girl, 32, and her husband, soccer star David Beckham, 31 to convert to his religion.
"Victoria is sick and tired of Tom being on her back about Scientology," says the source. "Victoria is an old-fashioned British woman who believes in God. She finds it quite rude that Tom is bugging her so much. Not too long ago, Tom left 18 messages in one hour to get them to join the church."
Cruise's rep tells Us, "This is completely false. Tom does not and never has encouraged anyone to adopt Scientology."
In other news, Suri Cruise has taken her first steps. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' 11-month-old daughter accompanied her parents to watch her brother and sister, Connor and Isabella, play basketball at the weekend and decided she wanted to get some exercise of her own.
"Katie put Suri down on the ground and she just took off," a source told Popsugar. "Katie was supporting her but she was raring to go. It was so cute."
