Via Veneto sure pulled in the A-listers last night! Via Veneto is a restaurant in Santa Monica and they hosted a birthday party for Victoria Beckham’s 34th birthday on Sunday night. Her actual birthday was April 17th. Just Jared has some fantastic photos of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise from the event. They both looked amazing and appear to be having a great time. Katie pulled out the Hollywood sunglasses for this event didn’t she? I’ve got to get me some of those and wear them at night like the stars do, lol!
SplashNewsOnline has a video of several of the celebs that attended the party. You can see Katie Holmes and Gwen Stefani chatting it up before they both get into their cars to leave.
It was good to see Tom and Katie attending a party for the Beckhams, which might settle some of the rumors that they aren’t friends anymore and it was also good to see Tom and Katie out together having a good time. I am not sure what I think about Katie’s dress. She does remind me of a young Jackie O in those pictures though. I don’t see a baby bump do you? :)

Unknown. Last I read, she was going to a workshop on the Broadway thing. Not sure if there is a signed deal yet as there have not been any stories on that.
Does anyone know when Katie will be making her Broadway appearance? Can’t wait.
YES, many DO fly first class. Sandra Bullock also flies first class but if she is taking a late night short flight that is empty, she will sit in the back. She is the most down to earth person there ever was. And her husband Jesse James!!!! Both are are the BEST!
Sandra Bullock is a wonderful actress in my opinion. She may not have the money that Cruise has, but I don’t think she anywhere near the POORHOUSE. Besides making movies, she’s produced shows such as George Lopez, and I bet she didn’t get peanuts for it. She most likely flies commercial by CHOICE. As Puck stated, there are many celeberties who have plenty of money that choose to fly commericial and all of those probably don’t always go first-class, although many do.
BTW, Tom turned himself into a mockery. I believe his ego got the better of him. People just took notice, but then how could they not?
Lauren,
With all due respect, if people here are hounding celebrities, then so are you, since you know everything down to their finances.
Who knows how Sandra Bullock lives since she’s such a private person?
I believe Katie’s shopping addiction brought out the materialistic nature of this family. That’s all people see so they assume that’s all there to it, which of course can’t be the case.
Besides, all rich people give to charity, for tax write offs if nothing else.
I still say it is hi sto spend. It is him who get ridiculed and whose life gets dissected in the press. There are so many richer than him who are spending more than that. They make it. They take the risks and get the rewards nothing wrong with that.
Concerned om, did I attack you in my last post? If I did in, sorry.
Let me get this straight.. You think that Sandra Bullock is poor?? So she flies commercial?? That is highly entertaining Lauren. How about maybe she is 1) not totally full of herself and 2)conscious of the environment and doesn’t want to spend the money to fly around on a private jet? Actually I do like Sandra Bullock and her lifestyle seems to be more normal then some of these other Hollyweird folks.
And by the way, wasn’t tommyboy one of the first to get that very exclusive very very expensive motorcycle?? Oh yes that is right, yes he was. And last year or so, I think he bought a new plane. And at the current moment he is shelling out $15-20 million dollars to redo a house that already was elegant and luxe. And that house cost something to the tune of $35 million. In my opinion, once again, he has the money and if wants to live excessively and in a look at me fashion, he has that right.
One thing Lauren, youi notice I didn’t attack you back here?? I wish you would somehow be able to worship TC while not personally attacking people who don’t feel exactly the same way. Once again we aren’t here to save the world.
“Rich people make their money to enjoy it first not to give to charity.”
In other words, they are very self-centered people. Thanks for clarifying that! I think with that comment Lauren, you proved our point about how self-centered Cruise and Holmes are.
Oh, and by the way, Cruise is still buying airplanes plus he still has maintance and rental fees to house all those planes. He reportedly spent $1 million on jet fuel alone last year. That is a lot money going out right there.
Julia Roberts is a great actress and doesn’t seem to be one of those celebs who seeks the spotlight. Doesn’t she actually live in New Mexico away from the drama of Hollywood? You hardly ever see her in the news because she doesn’t seek it. I think it is unkind of people to belittle her here just because they can. It doesn’t make it any better than those who say unkind things about Katie or Tom. Anyway…why is she even brought up here on a TomKat site?
You don’t have to know Tom’s accountant to know that he bought most of his planes, houses etc years ago. Yes tabloids may love telling stories but fo those of use who have followed his career for a while, you listen to him during interviews and that is not heresay.
When did Julia Roberts last have a hit? Careers have ups and downs, hers is not exactly up. Rememebr the Vera saga did not exactly improve her image. She has nothing fascinating about her or newsworthy. If she did, am sure you would be on her website as an interested fan or non fan like you come here.
Rich people make their money to enjoy it first not to give to charity. Bullock and her husband do not have quarter the money TC has, so they can as well fly commercial because that is what they can afford. If I had money, I would buy a plane. Well I don’t and good for those who do. It is their choice whether or not to give to charity and if they do, whether or not to tell us about it. I would though recommend doing using time to do charity than hound TC and concocting conspiracy theories.
wow puck didn’t know that. Well I think that the marriages made in hollywood that actually have a chance are the ones where the people don’t take themselves too seriously AND they stay out for the most part of the whole Hollywood lifestyle and fishbowl existence. Even Julia Roberts has for the most part removed herself from Hollywood and seems to live a sort of normal life in New Mexico–not one of the ‘hot and trendy’ spots for sure. Don’t know if her marriage is gonna last or not, but removing the Hollywood element sure helps the chances.
Actually, after many years in the airline industry, I know for a fact that many of the stars (Sandra Bullock and her husband) fly regular coach class on regular flights.
i also have to say that bit about britney spears donating more to charity than BA is news to me. but what can i say? the news i rely on must be tabloid and the news you tk fans rely on the cnn.
personally i have nothing against tom. i however think that his third wife is not helping his career at all. and i believe his luxe living began with her. just imagine, if katie could actually give a decent interview with substance, and work her charisma — don’t you think she could help in deflecting so much negativity on tom right now? if mad money had doen well, they wouldn’t be the laughingstocks that they’ve been made. she’s not helping him.
hahahalolololol not live that excessively? i guess it just shows we all have different standards!
do these people that own 34m homes, pay mortages? i wouldn’t be surprised if scientology paid for it.
lol I meant $15-20million.
Mary, I liked the people article. About TC renting a home tho. That isn’t your run of the mill rental and I think TC rented it because he was often on movie locations and traveling the world. But the rent on that home was something like $100 grand a month. And of course he has his 10,000 sq foot home in ASPEN. plus a number of luxe airplanes, motorcycles, etc. And the new home which cost reportedly around $30 milion and from pictures looked like it was already decorated rather fancy but they are spending another $15-20 refurbishing it. I would say a 1500 sq foot closet with supposed gold hangers is a bit much-sort oof on par with the one Tori Spelling had in the Spelling mansion. Personally I am tired of talking about his lifestyle-I don’t admire it and think it is excessive, but the man made the money and is spending it as he sees fit. He better get some hit movies coming out of UA company tho if he wants to maintain that lifestyle.
By the way Tyler………….Being TC’s accountant would be interesting work don’t you think?
I don’t have celebrity friends who in many cases have their very own private jets.
