The Tom-Tom Club

At least, that's what I'm planning on calling them. Looks like Tom Cruise's new BFF is one Tom Freston, who--like Cruise--was also fired by Viacom mogul, Sumner Redstone earlier this year. According to the New York Post:

Now they've become good pals and are showing a united front at tomorrow night's Conde Nast Black Ball at Hammerstein Ballroom hosted by Alicia Keyes and Iman. "[Cruise] bought a $50,000 table and has sat [Freston] right next to himself," said our spy.

And in other Tom Cruise News, he recently dropped 10,000 big ones on a dinner with his bride-to-be, Katie Holmes. MSNBC.com has the details:

Cruise took the mother of his daughter to Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, according to In Touch Weekly, and to ensure their privacy, he paid 10 grand for a private dining room usually booked by groups of 15 or more. The couple are "suffering from pre-wedding jitters" reports the mag, but the nerves are affecting them differently. Holmes is said to have barely touched her grilled sea bass, but Cruise chowed down on a whopping porterhouse steak, a Caesar salad and three side dishes: wasabi mashed potatoes, French fries and onion rings -- and he topped it all off with a dessert of cheesecake and chocolate-covered strawberries.

For that much money, I would want there to be diamonds in my food. Hell, there should always be diamonds in my food. My hope is that one day I die from choking on a huge diamond in my food.
