Victoria Beckham and her razor-sharp cheekbones celebrated her 34th birthday last night alongside soon-to-be Yeshivite husband David, and two new female friends: Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale, both of whom were dressed to the nines in order to live up to the immaculately glamorous appearances Posh and her cronies tend to exhibit. But were Longoria and Beckinsale also trying to fill the stilettos of Beckham BFF, a role Katie Holmes has filled for so many years? Favored dining, uh, dieting companions Tom and Katie were noticeably absent from the festivities. Did Tom Cruise's wishes to keep Katie away from the bobble-headed Brit come true so quickly?
As we heard last week, Tommy had just about had it with Katie and Posh's buddy system when it came to losing weight, and intended on splitting up the power union so he could have his regular-sized wife back. And we'll never know how they do it (or who "they" is, for that matter), but all the forces of Scientology seem to have come together to dissuade Katie from hanging out with the Beckham bunch in order to please Hubbard Hall of Famer Cruise. But really, we somehow suspect Beckinsale and Longoria are far more fun to hang out with. They both have that ginormous toothy laugh going on, and don't come accompanied by men who are over a foot shorter than them in their heels.

In Tom's defense, playing with Pushy really has been keeping Katie from her duties as the Queen of the "C"o$. One can't expect her to groom the future sovereign, pick at a half-portion salad and still have time for another look at lunch.
also, would you want to eat at Beso? it's supposedly filled with tourists and so-so food.
I thought it was Posh's "Not interested in Scientology!" stance that cooled things, not here thin-off with KatE.
@TurdBlossom:
if so then at least theres one good reason for me to like Posh.
one.
I'm sure the moment when the five of them split the cupcake with the candle in it was magical.
I don't see why everyone is trying to play up Tom as horrible and controlling when expressing concerns about HIS WIFES dieting habits which are causing her to rapidly lose weight. It looks to me like he actually cares about her and is more interested in her wellbeing... as opposed to David who seems to not care at all that his wife clearly has a disorder and will probably die eventually from it. I dunno, but in real life, I think girls would be lucky to end up with someone who is concerned about their health over how they look. I guess not in celebrity life though.
@Neon.Wonder: Thanks, I needed a good hearty belly-laugh.
@Neon.Wonder: Thanks for weighing in, Mr. Cruise.

@Neon.Wonder:
And it doesn't occur to you that she's starving because he's horrible and controlling?
@NotReadyForPrimeTime: That's very Freudian, but true.
By-the-by, I'd trade Katie Holmes for Kate Beckinsale in a heartbeat. I'm just sayin'.
@NotReadyForPrimeTime: Nah, she was like that before they married. She didn't look as gaunt because she was in her twenties then, that's all.
@raincoaster:
Actually, she's still in her twenties.
The stress of being married to an insane midget is taking its toll.
NeonWonder: Don't you have a Dianetics text to study?
