Even basketball’s biggest fans would acknowledge the game is not for everyone.

The act of running down the court while bouncing a large ball, then throwing it in the net and repeating it 200 times can create lulls for even die-hard supporters.

So it was perhaps no surprise that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes appeared to find the on-court action less than thrilling when the LA Lakers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Los Angles this week.

Holmes, 31, in a denim jacket, jeans, peep toe boot heels, appeared sullen while Cruise occupied himself with a box of popcorn.

Also present at the match between the Lakers and Timberwolves were Leonardo Di Caprio and Chris Brown.

R&B singer Brown spent some time talking to Tom Cruise before they shared a manly hug.

While Di Caprio spent his time focussing on the match, which was eventually won by the Lakers 104 to 96.

After the game, LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant walked over to Cruise and gave him a high-five.

According to a report the actor is devastated that David Beckham is out of the World Cup.

The Beckhams and the Cruises have become friends since David and Victoria moved to Los Angeles.

A source close to the actor allegedly said: ‘Tom is devastated for David but at the same time he feels this is a sign that it’s time for him to move on from soccer.

‘He can see a biopic of David Beckham being just the beginning of his new role as a sporting ambassador and Hollywood star.

‘He’s sure David will make a full recovery and play again — and that will be the perfect ending to his story as a sporting legend.’

Katie Holmes been undergoing intense Scientology “auditing” — sparking rumors that she’s “being prepared” for her second baby with high-priest husband Tom Cruise.

After promoting the Kevin Kline movie “The Extra Man,” and the dramedy “The Romantics,” at Sundance, Holmes is back to spending hours at the Hollywood Scientology Center.

Last week, she spent more than four hours there. A source said, “This is exactly what happened just before she got pregnant with Suri. Tom has made no secret of the fact that he would like another baby. It is almost as if she is being prepared for it.”

Scientologists believe the “health and the sanity of the child begin long before birth,” according to a church-run Web site, which campaigns for silent birth.

A rep for Holmes didn’t return e-mails.

Like many little girls, Suri Cruise loves to dress up.

And it seems parents Tom and Katie are happy to indulge the youngster who already has a massive collection of clothes, rumoured to be worth $2million.

The latest addition to the wardrobe is a flamboyant pink flamenco dress that she wore with a new pair red polka dot heels and clip-on dangly earrings.

The three-year-old looked dressed for a party rather than a walk in the park with her doting parents so it’s no wonder she seemed a little shy.

The little girl – already one of the world’s most photographed children – seems destined to always be the centre of attention, and the Cruises seem happy to ignore for now the problems that may bring in later life.

Katie Holmes and Suri were in the Spanish city to visit Tom for the last few days if filming Knight And Day with Cameron Diaz.

He carried her proudly through the park while the youngster carried her toy kangaroo.

Katie, 30, dressed in a tweed jacket and matching shorts with tights and flat ankle boots and her hair scraped back in a ponytail.

She has come under fire for letting her daughter wear heeled shoes, which some child experts claim can harm the development of children’s feet and posture.

But Katie has defended her decision.

‘Like every little girl, she loves my high heels,’ she said.

‘They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them,’ she said.

Parenting forums disagreed, with many mothers claiming the shoes ‘sexualised’ children and were harmful for their feet.

One parent on Mumsnet wrote: ‘Am I over-reacting or am I right in thinking that ‘celebs’ should not be leading the way in sexualising children?’

Commentators are likely to react in a similar way with Suri’s clip-on earrings.

Tom and Katie are reportedly ready to try for another child.

A friend of the star told OK magazine: ‘Katie no longer feels like she’s just Mrs. Cruise.

‘She’s her own person again. She and Tom have their disagreements, but deep down they love each other very much. That’s what is important.’
