Save Posh and Becks!

Posh and Becks held secret talks with Tom Cruise - amid fears he wants to entice them to join his religious cult. The superstar actor shared his bizarre beliefs with the Beckhams over dinner at his Los Angeles mansion on Thursday.

Cruise, 42, is a devoted follower of the weird Church of Scientology - which is based on the belief that humans are descended from aliens. The Mission Impossible star has become increasingly friendly with Victoria, 31, and David, 30.

And pals fear his passion for Scientology - which thrives on donations from wealthy celebs - could rub off on the couple. One said: "Cruise seems to have a real pull over them, especially David. "They seemed particularly keen on going to his place on Thursday. Of course, few would turn down a dinner date with him. But his interest in the Church Of Scientology has started to become all-consuming. He is known to try and recruit people into the church if he can. "If they spend too much time with Tom there is a danger they may be sucked in by Scientology."

Football fan Cruise watched England captain Becks play for Real Madrid last season and opened a new Church of Scientology in Madrid, not far from the Beckhams' home. Two months later he was seen in the Beckhams' VIP box at Real. At Christmas he sent them a card bearing the Scientology "Code of Honor" and told them he made a donation to the church on their behalf.

The couple are known to be interested in religious faiths and have flirted with Kabbalah, the cult followed by Madonna and her film director husband Guy Ritchie. But a friend warned: "They have to be careful. Tom's dedication to Scientology borders on obsessive. "And David and Victoria are very open minded and prepared to listen."

Cruise demanded a special "Scientology tent" on the set of the Steven Spielberg film War Of The Worlds.
