Katie Holmes Vs. Victoria Beckham: Who Started The Catfight And Why?
Posted by Molly Friedman at 8:45 AM on April 23, 2008
The last two weeks have been rough on the friendship of one-time power duo Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes. First, the meal-skipping, identical-haircut-sporting pair's friendship took a hit when Tom Cruise became concerned that Posh's influence was having a negative effect on Katie's health. Then, perhaps in retaliation, Victoria neglected to invite TomKat to her intimate pre-birthday dinner. Now, we hear that Katie has begun to distance herself from the Spice Girl-turned-professional partygoer, likely due to the assertions of the press that she's "morphed into Posh." So who's to blame? As Showbiz Spy reports, it seems that Katie Holmes is the culprit behind the fractured friendship:
"Holmes is annoyed Beckham is choosing to spend most of her time with new friends Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale."
After reports surfaced that Katie and Tom were not invited to Posh's dinner at Eva Longoria's restaurant last week, Victoria was predictably labelled the villain in the situation. But as we learned yesterday, Cruise had a conflict, which suggests it wasn't Posh's decision to ban the couple from her small gathering. However, as we just noted, Katie is reportedly jealous that Victoria has become chummy with Eva and Kate. But really, Katie, are we still in high school? Sure it's lovely to have a BFF, but this new jealousy-driven behaviour is striking us as being very Single White Female of you. We know that Tom keeps you on a short lease, but surely you could find some other pro-Scientology friends to play with. Say, maybe, Erica Christensen or Laura Prepon? We know they're not quite as major as Posh, but at least with those two, you'll always be the queen bee!

Still must be nice that Posh dosen't have to worry now about one of her friends' hunsbands drooling after hers (in a totally non-gay way of course)

Anybody remember that Margaret Cho bit about how "Charlie's Angels" should have been called "... And Then There's the Ho," since whenever three chicks are friends there's always the smart one, the sweet one,... and then there's the ho? So in the Posh/Beckinsale/Longoria trifecta, who gets to be which?

Beckinsale: Sweet
Longoria- And then there's the ho.

This reminds me of High-School.
"No, I don't want to hang out with you anymore because you hang out with Beth."
These people need to grow up.

This would be a lot easier to follow if you would just tell us which one is Serena and which one is Blair.

Pushy looks just like a ventriloquist's doll except that only a skeleton could get his hand inside and that expression would only scare the children.

Can't Katie just hang out with Jada Pinkett-Smith? I thought they were BFF.
