KEY POINTS:
The Beckhams could have no better entree into Hollywood society.
Victoria's burgeoning relationship with Katie Holmes, the movie star wife of Tom Cruise, has provided the former Spice Girl and her spouse with a gold-plated calling card at the mansions of Tinseltown's elite.
After receiving advice from her on what to wear for her recent wedding in Italy, there have been reports that Holmes has been doing all she can to turn her friend into a Hollywood star.
She is reported to have arranged a meeting with film director Stephen Spielberg and there has even been talk of a biopic of the British couple's life, with the Batman Begins star playing the former pop singer.
Cruise, however, apparently declined the chance to play his new chum because of "marked physical differences".
News that Mrs Beckham had been spotted house-hunting in the exclusive districts of Beverly Hills and Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles.
The former England captain is said to have been cultivating his own A-list friendships too for some time.
He is reported to have promised to give Brad Pitt's son soccer lessons at his new David Beckham Academy in Los Angeles.
