Tom Cruise Hijacks Posh's Spotlight

It seems Posh Spice took a workshop in P.R. whoring from Tom Cruise.

The two megastars, along with Katie Holmes, hit the only place in Hollywood where they had zero chance of flying under the paparazzi radar yesterday-- the Ivy restaurant on Robertson.

The threesome arrived at the exclusive eatery in a black SUV, and while Tom never actually entered the restaurant, it was obvious that he had another mission -- image makeover. The wee actor was all smiles as he opened the car door, escorted the women out of the car and even walked them up to the host. Such a gentleman.

Earlier in the day, Posh battled a sea of screaming photogs at a few other celebrity hotspots -- Kitson and Fred Segal. Donning sunglasses and in the care of giant security guards, Mrs. Beckham battled her way into the shops, pretending to loathe the attention every step of way. Nicole Richie was spotted across the street ... but nobody seemed to care.

31. WHY does Tom Curise continue to get publicity?

And what has Victoria Adams Beckham ever done anything besides be a Spice Girl (from a decade ago!) and sh*t out 3 kids with a has-been soccer player?

32. Posh N Becks are superstars all over the world. Wherever they travel they are always mobbed. They are a golden couple with lots of money, good looks, beautiful children and an exciting, enviable lifestyle. If the Americans don't know them yet...they will by summer! Whether you like them or not (you don't seem to like any celebrities on the TMZ site so I wonder why you visit here??)..they are here to stay and their every move will continue to be photographed and written about. They are money makers for the paparazzi who get paid a lot for a photo which is why most high profile celebrities are staked out by them. You can bitch all you want, criticize their every move and the way they look or don't look but it won't change a thing...get used to it!! P.S. If you are bothered by these celebrities stop reading the tabloids and visiting these celebrity sites...you are the ones which keep the paparazzi employed by showing a thirst for gossip.

33. I agree with Hotspurs...if you don't like the celebrities then go read a good book, get a life and stop complaining. Unlike you hypocrits some of us (retired, older people) enjoy reading about these fantasy lives!

35. I cannot believe how pathetic we're becoming...what do these people do that warrants such attention? What makes them so unique?

36. why so much hatred for this woman???All i've seen her do is shop and dress up in nice clothes. What has she done wrong? Save your scorn and hatred for more deserving celebs that( ARE) actually pieces of sh*t!

37. I don't get it. I didn't see in the video what they were saying in the article. He just opened the door for the girls. What's wrong with that? I don't think they're looking for attention. The paparazzi have very sophisticated ways of tracking celebs.

38. soccer sucks ass. Becks is hot, but NOT worth $1 mil a week.

39. um... why are we supposed to care about the fried egg chested woman in the funny clothes? What is it that she supposedly does?

Supposedly, the paparazzi frenzy will die out soon enough when magazine and tabloid editors realize the American public isn't interested and the pay out for the photos fizzles ... but wait, that's what many of us thought about Paris, Nicole and degraded crotch flasher Britt.

It's beginning to look as though someone can become a celebrity paparazzi target just by being... a paparazzi target.

Nichole is OVER!

41. Hotspurs and Ann, your both morons. Seriously. People come on this site, not to live vicariously through these people, but to give an opinion. To rant, rave, etc...To start a conversation or a debate. There are specific websites called fansites that maybe you should look into. Here at TMZ is strictly "news". Also, it is hypocrites not hypocrits, Ann.

42. tattoo,
I obviously don't know for sure. I just heard that it was Victoria who sees it as an elite social cirlce and David is dead against it. But I did hear it on a football podcast, so this type of thing isn't high on their list of priorities. :)

44. Tom Cruise is more famous than ever all over the world thanks to all the controversy some evil intended people generated throughout 2006 in the media. I really want to thank them. They want to finish Tom Cruise but they are getting the opposite result. Tom Cruise is bigger than ever!!!!!!
