Victoria Beckham came to America set to take everyone by storm - however, things don't seem to be working out so well for the annoyingly glum ultra-thin wife of soccer star David Beckham. The former Spice Girl worked hard to build up her trademark look, combining the waspish figure, the oversize glasses and the various plastic-looking body parts, adding an assortment of ultra-trendy and over-the-top clothes and an attitude that screams "I'm so much more than you can handle". However, Victoria's British roots didn't seem to do too well once they were transplanted on American soil, and it's all been getting worse in the past month, culminating in some double trouble this week. Not only has Victoria's denim line been dumped by Fred Segal and Kitson, but one of the Beckham's greatest friends - we're talking here about Tom Cruise - is reportedly keen to keep Posh away form his wife Katie Holmes.

Apparently, Cruise has a problem with his wife copying Victoria's every move and looking up to the ultra-thin Mrs. Beckham - or so things seem to the Daily Mail, quoting an insider who thinks that "Katie sees Victoria as a role model. She copies Victoria's look and even cut her hair the same way. But it concerns Tom that Katie has lost so much weight recently. She is very thin largely because she is following Victoria's strict 900-calories-a-day eating plan. She is copying Victoria's fad of eating seaweed shakes, frozen grapes and edamame beans. She is tiny". Now, as much as we'd try to convince ourselves that seaweed shakes are something to actually look forward to - similar to a treat, or even a decent meal - that can't possibly taste as, ahem, good as it sounds. As for 900 calories a day, the next step down the line for both Katie and Victoria is anorexia for sure.

However, everything that comes out of Tom Cruise's mouth must be treated with utmost care and it definitely not to be taken too seriously. What worried Tom most about Victoria Beckham is the fact that the former singer has refused to join Tom's Scientology parade and jump on the Xenu bandwagon - which does indeed make her a dangerous influence on Katie, but for all the wrong reasons. Moreover, Katie's latest bout of poor health - manifesting itself in migraines and fainting spells - is most likely down to the pressure of keeping up with her Scientology second-in-command husband while on a 900-calories-a-day diet. As a result, don't be surprised if these two ultra-thin ladies will soon part ways completely and we'll be seeing Katie hanging out with Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith quite soon.
