Tom Cruise Likes ‘em Starved?
Jul 25th, 2007 by Starving Socialite
We’ve been working this story for a few days, and we’re sorry for the delay – but knowing the madness and flurry it would cause, we were trying to get it right.
Some background: we’ve learned that the reason we saw Victoria Beckham hanging out with Katie Holmes so much in the months before the wedding was to enforce a bout of good behavior on the young bride-to-be, and influence her in the pure ways of eating (er, non-eating.) We all read the countless stories about them going out to “eat” together, shopping, and seeing fashion shows.
Well – a family member tells us that last year, Tom Cruise personally recruited Victoria Beckham to “supervise” Katie Holmes’ post-Suri weight loss. There was ample speculation that Katie and Victoria had become closer prior to the wedding, as they were spotted together very frequently in Europe and the US during those months. We can confirm that, in part, is one of the reasons.
In light of their relocation to Los Angeles, Cruise might have his heart set on converting the Beckhams to Scientology – but he’s seemingly just as concerned with making sure Victoria keeps Katie lean. The family member said that Cruise has said he “admires Beckham’s discipline” and wants his new wife to follow on.
Earlier speculation had revolved around Holmes’ desire to fit her custom, $2.6 million Armani wedding gown, which was said to have been a strict size 2. Additionally, for her wedding night, Katie spent $3,000 on a similarly-sized La Perla lingerie ensemble adorned with Swarovski crystals.
After Suri’s birth, Holmes quickly lost more than 25 pounds of baby weight, not unusual in the weeks following childbirth. But she then lost another 20 pounds under Beckham’s “guidance”, which is said to consist of extremely restrictive dieting and rigorous daily cardio. Friends say the 5′9″ actress weighed a willowy 120 pounds on her wedding day.
But long after her svelte appearance at the ceremony, Tom’s expectations have continued.
“Like any normal girl, Katie wanted to look her best on her special day,” said the family member, “but Tom’s controlling behavior has gone much further than that.”
What kind of diet lessons might Katie be getting from her friend? Recently, a friend of Beckham’s told the New York Post, “Victoria maintains her tiny frame because she only permits herself to snack and never to eat meals. She takes vitamins and is a tea and Diet Coke fanatic. Her snacks are edamame, pretzels and occasionally sushi – but usually she limits herself to one piece.”
“She’s a very restrictive eater,” said a Beckham friend we spoke with. “She’s unusually open and proud about it.”
Cruise’s plan seems to be working; Katie looked as slim as ever as she walked into CAA in Century City a few days ago:
Tying further into this controlling behavior, the family member told us Katie has been “punished” several times by Scientology handlers – under Cruise’s orders – when she is deemed to need “retraining.” Her “offenses” have included such trivialities as assertiveness, critical thought, excessive spending, or agreeing to do Hollywood events and projects without the approval of the “church”. The punishment rituals include starvation, extended sauna time to cleanse her of “impurities,” and forced exercise.
The family member is concerned that stress – combined with the Cruise camp’s bizarre rituals and Beckham’s influence – could lead Katie to a health crisis. But a source inside the Cruise camp told us that Katie is “happy and healthy.”
Time will tell.

Is it any wonder? He likes boys. He wants her to look like one.
Cruise?? “Pro-ana”? Who’d have thunk it?
How is this not surprising? What has Katie gotten herself into?
She is sexy and sophisticated.. and though I think she’s stupid for letting herself be put thru this, I would not mind “punishing” her myself… :*
i’m sorry but this is sick that she is letting herself be controlled by this creature and his robots.
Tom Cruise is a mean old witch!
[...] it’s a long story. When we wrote this article about PoshTomKat based on a confirmed inside source and a family member, we didn’t quite realize what we would [...]
Bizaarre. maybe the porky poison dwarf could hire Mr Beckham to be HIS diet, style and sexuality coach.
rumors in Hollywood say that Tom dreams about becoming US president, and Katie’s new look is conceived in detail to make her look like Jackie Kennedy
Forced anorexia…. isn’t that ABUSE?
isn’t it called “sadorexia” when a girl is forced to be anorexic ?
Well i’d say it’s maybe abusive but no more than all the other crap she puts HERSELF through. can’t she leave if she really wants?
LEAVE HIM KATIE NOW – HE USES SCIENTOLOGY TO HIDE BEHIND BEACUSE HE IS INSECURE, PROBABLY ‘SHORT MAN SYNDROME’. YOU ARE STRONGER AND NEED TO GET BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE.
i’d suggest that you all educate yourselves about $cientology.
if nothing else, google “purification rundown” to find out exactly what is happening to katie every single time she is “punished” by the cult of $cientology and goes through this purification rundown for her “offenses.” you’re going to be horrified.
after you read exactly what happens in a purification rundown? i’m sure many of you will want to educate yourselves further and finally find out what this evil cult is all about.

Wow, she looks so anorexic. $cientology’s controlling behavior is going too far.
LOl@the idiots who beleive that crap.
There’s a great woman call Tory Christman who said that the last time someone went on ‘purification rundown’ was in the 70s’. And it isn’t for celebrities; they hide it from their eyes.
Celebrities are pampered, Holmes doesn’t do anything like that, neither Tom, they are well treated.
Nobody should confuse the sea org members or Jenna Miscavige to the scientology queen Holmes.
This stupid tabloid story on cruise is just to trash him down.
Of course Tom doesn’t give a damn about her curves, Holmes has always been skinny, before she met Tom and like Jolie and Knighley, she want to be thin for Hollywood.
Leave Tom the f*** alone, moron.
You are the abusers spreading this crap.
“LEAVE HIM KATIE NOW – HE USES SCIENTOLOGY TO HIDE BEHIND BEACUSE HE IS INSECURE, PROBABLY ‘SHORT MAN SYNDROME’. YOU ARE STRONGER AND NEED TO GET BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE.”
Right moron, that’s why she always sports 10 inches heels.
Oh maybe it’s Tom who force her to wear these tilts!
LMAO!
Ana are you really ana? lol.
Also, speak English?

Hey, isn’t one of those scary Scientology “rundowns” what killed Lisa McPherson in 1995? Oh my god…. RUN KATIE RUN!

The punishment rituals include starvation, extended sauna time to cleanse her of “impurities,” and forced exercise. — That’d be the Introspective Rundown, it has killed people.
Run, Katie, run! With all that exercise, Tom won’t be able to catch up to you!

[...] What a pretty girl she was, very thin, until Tom Cruise came along and knocked her up. I wish Tom Cruise would go back to starving Katie and making Victoria Beckham supervise Katie’s eating habits. [...]
