I doubt Tom Cruise’s latest gift was given to him because of his affiliation with Scientology, still it serves as another example of how the rich and famous stay rich because they don’t have to buy anything.
Cruise’s newest “toy” was gifted to him by Ducati, a company that makes elite motorcycles. According to Ducati officials, Katie Holmes’ hubby will be the first person in North America to own a $72,500 Desmosedici RR superbike bristling with titanium, magnesium and carbon fiber technology that can cruise to speeds that exceed 200 mph.
The actor is reportedly a well-known Ducati enthusiast and can now brag that he owns the first of only 1,500 of the red-and-white Moto GP racing replica motorcycles manufactured in the United States.
Must be nice to be given a motorcycle worth more than most people earn from working 10 hours a day six days a week for an entire year…
Wonder if Cruise will shoot over to actress and fellow Scientologist Leah Remini’s house on his new Ducati rocket ship once he takes possession of it later this week?
They could ride over to Jennifer Lopez’s L.A. pad together the next time the singer is in town with her new twins.
That could be in just a few weeks if you believe Long Island’s Newsday, which is reporting that J. Lo has checked into North Shore University Medical Center and is due to give birth at anytime.
If that’s the case then Remini, who last night jokingly claimed that she and her husband are auditioning for the role of godparents to Lopez and Marc Anthony’s unborn children, don’t have much time to get their act together.
The former “King of Queens” star told reporters she and husband Angelo Pagan, “need like a day – because we’re not good at cold-reading – so that we can just prepare.”
Added Pagan: “Not sure whether it entails that we have to sing, dance, recite a monologue, but we’re ready!”
For the record, Lopez’s rep has denied all reports that her client is in the hospital and is preparing to give birth to more than one child. Only time will tell.
