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.
