Victoria Beckham has chastised critics who have accused her of only forging a close friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to further her acting career.

The former Spice Girl became firm friends with the Cruise family when she and her soccer ace husband David moved to Los Angeles in July 2007.

Since the Hollywood move, the Wannabe hitmaker has made a transition to the small screen, making a number of guest appearances – most notably on hit comedy Ugly Betty.

But Beckham insists she is not interested in a Hollywood acting career because she is well aware of her lack of skills in front of the camera – and has snubbed several film roles as a result.

She says, “I’m happy doing what I’m doing right now. I’m a terrible actress. Everyone thinks I’m only friends with Tom and Katie to be in a movie but it’s not true. I’ve turned down lots of roles.”

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have sent baby botique Petite Tresor a Cease and Desist letter insiting they no longer leak any information to the tabloids.

Cruise is accusing the celebrity-popular baby store of spilling the beans to tabloids about the families spending habits. Cruise’s law form are claiming the store violated their clients’ right of privacy.

Here is an excerpt of the Cease and Desist sent by Tom’s peeps:

This firm represents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. It has come to our attention that representatives of Petit Trésor falsely informed Life & Style – on the record – that Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes have spent $350,000 – $400,000 at your stores on their daughter in the past two years. Not only does this statement violate our clients’ confidentiality, but it is simply false. We also understand that you have informed other tabloids that our clients have purchased various items at your stores that they have not in fact purchased, and that they have shopped there at times that they have not.

It appears that Petit Trésor has “leaked” this false information to the tabloids for the purpose of enhancing its image and obtaining a commercial advantage. This conduct violates our clients’ rights of privacy and rights of publicity. Accordingly, we hereby request that you no longer use our clients as part of your public relations and marketing efforts.

Please do not say anything (whether true or false) about Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes’ shopping habits.

After shelling out a cool $35 million for a luxurious new estate, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are ready to celebrate!

Tom, 45, Katie, 29, and daughter Suri, 2, recently moved into the mansion, in an exclusive Beverly Hills community, and the couple has sent out invitations to pals for a festive get-together on May 31.

Hollywood pals David and Victoria Beckham and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith surely won’t miss the posh fete! But Tom and Katie won’t be able to get too settled — producer Eric Falkenstein has confirmed that Katie will star in a new Broadway production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, set to open in New York this fall.

While the ink isn’t yet dry on the deal, it is all but certain that Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut this Fall, playing Ann Deever in the revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.

Discussions to bring the actress to Broadway were confirmed back in March, and now a deal seems inevitable. Producer Eric Falkenstein tells OK! he thinks Katie is perfect for the part.

“Katie is very well suited for the role of Ann,” he says. “There is an additional layer of soul to Ann and from the work I’ve seen of Katie, she has always impressed with multi-faceted characters. She would nail it.”

Falkenstein also feels that Mrs. Cruise’s star-power won’t overshadow her acting ability. “Despite being in the spotlight and her celebrity status, the fact remains that she has a tremendous record of performances,” he says. “I think Katie is a tremendous actor. Whenever she decides to come to the stage she’ll be terrific.”

All my sons will hit Broadway with a preview in September and open a month later in October. A formal announcement is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

Does Katie have a bun in the oven?

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and all the children enjoy a evening out at the LA Galaxy game, Suri found the cheering from the fans a little too loud and covered her ears but when big sister Isabella gives her a doll she looked a lot better. Tom, Katie and the kids join the Beckham children, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz in the Beckham box.

Get Suri a sippy cup, doctors say.

The 2-year-old — who was spotted sucking away on Monday in NYC — is too old for a bottle.

“Most pediatricians recommend a bottle should be given up by age 1 — almost certainly by 18 months,” Dr. Charlotte Cowan, author of the Dr. Hippo book series, tells Usmagazine.com.

Suri’s constant traveling could play a factor.

“When babies are challenged, their diet is upset, their sleep is upset,” Cowan says. “They will regress back to previous habits … lingering with a bottle is comforting. You could argue that her parents have decided that this is not the time to try to wean her off if they’re traveling frequently.”

Cowan advises Tom and Katie try to “distract [her] with something that might be more appealing, like a sippy cup.”

(Parents should start their children on sippy cups between 9 and 11 months, Cowan says.)

Still, Tom and Katie shouldn’t freak that Suri’s still glued to her bottle.

“We panic and feel as if we have to break a child of that habit before it’s really necessary to do so,” psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, tells Us.

“We don’t have a wealth of experience that suggests from a psychological point of view children are harmed by using a bottle for too long,” he says.

Jokes Cowan: “Parents are always worried about getting their children off of bottles. I have never seen a child go to college with a bottle!”
