Posted: 20 Jul 2007 08:38 AM CDT

Tom is reportedly planning to visit the studios originally made famous by The Beatles, Abbey Road, according to showbizspy.com.

Tom is said-to-be a massive fan of the legendary foursome, and will take time off from shooting his latest film 'Valkyrie' in Germany to visit the north London studios, in which the band recorded many of their most famous hits. He is said to be particularly keen to visit the pedestrian crossing where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr posed for their iconic 'Abbey Road' album cover. A source said: "Tom's a massive Beatles fan. They remind him of his teenage years so he was keen to organize a sightseeing trip. He's known to play guitar and drums at his Beverly Hills home. He really likes 60s music."

Tom & Katie to build a house in Montecito, California

Posted: 20 Jul 2007 08:20 AM CDT

According to Celebrity Babylon Tom and Katie have purchased a 3-acre property for $3.5 million dollars in Montecito, California. The couple bought the property, with existing building plans for a lavish home, from actor Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl.

The property isn’t much to look at now, but thanks to Rob Lowe who pushed and shoved his building plans through the local planning commission, Tom will be able to build his dream vacation home in no time at all. Celebrity Babylon has photos of what exists on the land now, and ground has been broken. A Montecito local tells Celebrity Babylon, “Tom could use the plans for a house that Rob did, or he could have his own custom design.”

Montecito is considered the ritzy seaside enclave just 90 miles north of Los Angeles, where stars like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, Portia DeRossi, Dennis Miller, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Carol Burnett, Kirk Douglas and others have homes. Rob Lowe and his wife have a number of homes in Montecito, and seem to have developed deft skills at high-end house “flipping.” They live at a mansion nearby, and have a beach house near Carpenteria, Ca., as well.

Filming begins on Tom Cruise movie

BERLIN - Shooting began Thursday in a forest outside Berlin on a movie starring Tom Cruise as Germany’s most famous anti-Hitler plotter. The German government said it was letting filmmakers shoot anywhere they requested, except the former German general staff headquarters.

The so-called Bendler Block, where Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg was executed by firing squad 63 years ago Saturday, was off-limits, said government spokesman Torsten Albig, citing “the dignity of the place.”

Cruise plays Stauffenberg in “Valkyrie,” directed by Bryan Singer.

The movie set was cordoned off with yellow-and-black plastic tape in a pine forest near the village of Klein Koeris, 43 miles south of Berlin. Studio Babelsberg, the film’s German producers, confirmed that Cruise was on the set.

The government’s refusal to permit filming where Stauffenberg worked and died led to controversy about whether the 45-year-old actor’s religious beliefs had triggered the decision.

Cruise is one of Scientology’s best-known members. The German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise that takes advantage of vulnerable people, and some critics maintain that one of its adherents shouldn’t be playing one of the Nazi-era’s few heroes.

Albig said the decision not to allow filming at the Bendler Block, now a memorial for Third Reich resistance fighters, had nothing to do with Cruise’s religion.

“We granted all permissions but the one, for the Bendler Block — because the dignity of this place should not be violated,” Albig said Thursday. “These circumstances show that the religious beliefs of the actor are without relevance.”

Stauffenberg and the other plotters of the July 20, 1944, assassination attempt were caught and executed after Hitler survived the explosion at his headquarters in what was then East Prussia.

“I can’t imagine shooting it anywhere else but on location in Germany, and I’m thrilled that we were able to get Tom Cruise to play Col. Stauffenberg,” Singer said in a statement released Thursday by the Babelsberg studio, which is co-producing the film with United Artists Entertainment LLC. The studio didn’t comment on the controversy. (Source: Yahoo)
