NEW YORK, NY — The Beckham family spent their Thanksgiving with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in New York City.

Celebrations began on Wednesday, when the Beckhams – David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz — were spotted dining with Tom, Katie, Suri, Isabella and Connor in New York City before the adults headed off to catch Katie on Broadway in “All My Sons.”

On Thursday, dressed in 5” inch heels, Posh, David and the boys met Tom, Katie, Suri, Isabella and Connor in Central Park, where the two families spent part of the day enjoying a walk.

According to the Mirror, Posh ended the walk, not atop her heels, but seated in a horse drawn carriage with her son Romeo, and joined by Katie, Suri and Isabella.

Superstar Tom Cruise, who is making a comeback with new thriller ‘Valkryie’ where he plays a German hero Colonel Claus, admits that he has made mistakes.

Cruise in a Nazi uniform and eye-patch plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in the USD 50 million film, which tells the story about the colonel joining forces with some German forces to overthrow the Nazis and end Hilter’s reign.

The star admitted that he could have handled situations like the infamous Oprah Winfrey’s show, where he jumped up and down on the couch crying “I’m in love”, better. “There are things that I could have done better. I could have handled things better,” the actor confessed in an interview to Mirror.

“I was surprised at the criticism but it brought everyone closer together: Katie’s entire family and my family. “Going through that stuff is not pleasant and I think it hit an extreme, but Kate’s a very sure, confident and strong woman. She gets it,” Cruise says.

The actor who is married to Katie Holmes and has a daughter Suri with her says he is back in control. “As a father and a husband you want to protect your family and tell them not to worry because it is all going to be OK.

You just learn from it and move on and I know that. “I have a blessed life because I have a happy family and children that I adore and everyone knows how I feel about Kate. It just brought us even closer together.”

DETAILS MAGAZINE UNVEILS POWER 40 LIST

The DETAILS Power Issue Ranks the 40 Most Influential Men on the Planet NEW YORK (November 25, 2008)
— DETAILS magazine’s December issue unveils the DETAILS Power 40 list, ranking the 40 most influential men in the world. These power players—all under the age of 47, not all of them liked—are the ones leading us through this unprecedented time of transformation, and they’re not just the usual suspects.

Tom is #7 on this list, here are some excerpts from the story:

7. TOM CRUISE Leading Man (Age: 46) By Alex Bhattacharji “Listen, I have Suri right here, who’s falling asleep,” Tom Cruise says sotto voce. He wants you to know that he’s not speaking softly to sound intense. Suri murmurs. Something about scissors. “What? You don’t want to get your hair cut?” Cruise is apologetic—he asks, “Do you have kids?” The most powerful star in the world really doesn’t want you to think his cherubic daughter’s feelings about bangs rule his life.

The most quintessentially all-American movie star since John Wayne is donning an eye patch and a prosthetic forearm stump and daring you to root for him in a Nazi uniform. Hell yes, he’s got a motive and you can read as much into it as you want: He intends to make you rethink some fundamental assumptions, like who’s good and who’s evil. “When you make people reconsider something that they’re so certain of … I found it very compelling. It’s the reason I’m doing it,” Cruise says. “When I was a kid, we’d play war, you know, and it was always ‘Kill the Nazis.’ I wanted to kill Hitler.” Cruise laughs. In his new movie, Valkyrie, he plays Claus von Stauffenberg, an aristocratic Bavarian army officer who joins the German resistance and leads an attempt to assassinate the führer and wrest Germany from Nazi Party control. The historical thriller, due out the day after Christmas, was directed by Bryan Singer.

In spite of or perhaps because of his recent self-imposed sabbatical, the Tom Cruise of 2008 is able to operate above the entertainment industry. He’s MI-free—liberated from having to save the day, get the girl, or be Tom Cruise. If he wants to decry political apathy about the war in Afghanistan (and play alongside Meryl Streep and Robert Redford), he can slip into the role of an oily, scheming senator in Lions for Lambs. If he’s in the mood to mock Hollywood, he can take an unbilled cameo as a balding, ball-busting studio exec in Tropic Thunder. “When I was working with Ben Stiller, I said, ‘I want to play this character, but I’ve got to dance,’” says Cruise. “I haven’t danced that much since Risky Business!” And if he wants to make you see the good in something that the whole world views as monolithically evil (Nazi Germany), well, he can do that, too. Do you really doubt he can pull it off? To get Valkyrie made, he had to win over a country that was trying outlaw his religion (…) and refused to let him shoot at the army’s historic Berlin headquarters, the Benderblock. … but the star prevailed. “That was always just a small group,” he says of his German critics. “When there was finally dialogue between us and they realized what it was we were doing with the story, they relented. This was a hard movie to make on many levels—but that was just one challenge.”

He clearly felt a connection to Stauffenberg, his crisis of conscience and his conflicting loyalties. “Certain decisions at points in my life … I absolutely related,” he says. “Stauffenberg went from saying, ‘Someone should shoot that bastard’ to realizing, I’m the only one who can do it. You can’t really know until you’re under that kind of pressure. I’m not saying this in some chest-pounding way, but I do feel I’d have that kind of courage.”

No one would or could script this but Tom Cruise. “It’s about doing the right thing,” he says, “but also about finding out what the right thing is. You know what I mean? I do feel that this movie was the right thing to do … I love movies. Yeah, man, I love movies!”

“Look—she’s out,” he says, back in his whispered voice. “Asleep.” And then he excuses himself to return to his 2-year-old daughter—perhaps the one person who sees him as anything but the most powerful star on the planet.

Tom Cruise’s highly anticipated suspense thriller ‘Valkyrie’ finally arrives in theaters December 26, and ET’s own Mary Hart is with Tom, director Bryan Singer and co-stars Carice van Houten and Thomas Kretschmann to get their take on the true story and “what if” scenario that could have changed the course of World War II!

In ‘Valkyrie,’ Tom plays Col. Claus Graf von Stauffenberg, who helped to hatch a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the height of the war in order seize power and put an end to the bloodshed.

“He was a man who thought beyond himself and even his country, looking toward the world,” says Tom. “Very early on he was someone who opposed Hitler.”

The question posed on everyone’s mind at one point or another, adds Tom, is why didn’t anyone just go ahead and just shoot Hitler? Well, it wasn’t that easy, explains Singer.

“You have millions of people in the army: 3,000 generals, German generals in the field; you’ve got fanatical Nazis working all around them, and a government that was about getting rid of him, but also [about] turning the government around,” he says. “['Valkyrie'] was a very ambitious plot, and all the soldiers had taken an oath to [Hitler] personally. It’s very serious.”

Things weren’t always so serious on the set, however, as the cast and crew tried to keep things light despite the dark subject matter — and sometimes the location itself provided the entertainment.

“We had to stop shooting [one day] because there was a wild boar in the neighborhood,” says Tom with a laugh. “That was a new one. I thought I was being ‘Punk’d.’”

In the interview with Mary, Tom also showed off his new shirt designed specifically for him by Katie Holmes for their wedding anniversary, and revealed what daughter Suri thought when she saw her dad on set wearing an eye patch for the movie!

“The make-up girls are smart — they got a teddy bear with a patch,” says Tom. “She got used to that, [but] first when she saw [me with it] she would come up and take the patch off my face.”

In the week after his two-and-a-half year old daughter Suri was named Hollywood’s most influential tot, dad Tom Cruise proudly speaks to HELLO! magazine in an exclusive interview about happy family life with his adorable little girl and wife Katie Holmes.

“Suri’s very much like her mother,” reveals the Valkyrie star, who celebrated his second wedding anniversary with Katie this month. “She’s open and sunny, just like her Mom is, but she’s also very determined.”

“She’s very much a girl, and will not wear trousers, for instance, only dresses,” he adds. “I put a pair of trousers on her and turn and leave the room and straight away the trousers are off and a dress is on instead.”

Tom Cruise says he definitely wants more kids but denies his wife Katie Holmes is pregnant.

The couple has a two-year-old daughter Suri, and are the primary carers for Cruise’s two adopted teenage children, Connor and Bella, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

“We’ve already heard she’s pregnant but it’s not true, but yes, we will have more children,” Cruise told the Australian magazine Grazia.

He said he felt like “a very helpful husband” this time around.

“When Bella was a baby I used to watch every breath she took. I kept her awake more than she kept me awake,” he said.

“My mother had to come in and even teach me how to bathe her. I was more relaxed with Connor, so now I know the drill with crying, gas, diapers or hunger.”

He also spoke of the challenges of protecting children from the relentless attention of the paparazzi.

“I have to say some of those paparazzi shots of my daughter are incredible,” Cruise said.

“As a parent you protect your children, but Suri is a very open and warm child and she’ll just wave to people on the street. She’s such a happy, fun girl.

“It’s certainly different these days with the media, but people have been very good to us.”

Cruise also told how he and Holmes had coped with the negative publicity generated by his infamous couch jumping on the Oprah Winfrey show, when he professed his love for her.

“It did get extreme with us but Kate is a very sure and confident woman and she got through it,” he said.

“It wasn’t pleasant. But I also thought I could have handled a couple of moments better, and in the end it brought our family closer together.”

There weren’t any elaborate plans this year for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Instead, the couple celebrated their second anniversary a day early at home in Los Angeles.

Cruise, 46, and Holmes spent Monday with daughter Suri, 2, as well as Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, Cruise’s children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

Holmes took off for L.A. after the Sunday matinee of her Broadway show All My Sons. The show is dark on Mondays, and Holmes returned to New York for her regular Tuesday performance.

The two stars married on Nov. 18, 2006, in Italy. Cruise said last year that the wedding “was very beautiful. As big as it was from the outside, it was a very personal experience and something obviously I’ll never forget.”

Celebrity Tom Cruise made a guest appearance at Amazon.com’s all-hands meeting earlier this month, according to several Twitter tweets, blog posts by employees and photos.

Cruise’s presence at the Nov. 5 event didn’t seem to serve any real purpose, other than entertainment and to mark the 10th anniversary of the movie store.

Employees were also treated to a special screening of “Valkyrie,” a movie starring Cruise that is set to be released in December. (SeattlePI.com)
