Taking career advice from Tom Cruise is like getting dieting tips from Rosie, styling advice from Trump, and so on

And now that I got that time-honored hack device out of the way in the header, here's the story:

David Beckham is on Cruise control. The English soccer superstar revealed yesterday he sought the advice of Scientology poster boy Tom Cruise before inking the five-year, $1 million-a-week deal that will bring him from Real Madrid to the Los Angeles Galaxy. "I was on the phone to him for about an hour last night and an hour the night before," Beckham told reporters via satellite from Spain. "He is a very wise man and a very good friend of mine. It's going to be a big help for us to have friends when we arrive in L.A."

I think they should star in a movie together! Here are some possible ideas:

    Bend It Like Xemu
    A Few Good Balls
    Top Goal
    Goals of Thunder
    Um...

Okay, I give up. There are probably some really good soccer jokes there, but I'm 120% American and therefore know nothing of the game.
