There's a lot left unsaid in this breathless fanzine piece about the Beckhams and the Cruises. Is it a sports story? Will Beckham's star power increase interest in pro soccer? Is it a religion story? I guess it comes closest to that: the story cites but doesn't substantiate rumors that the Scientologists have recruited the Beckhams as star adherents. Whoop De Do.
Pure Tabloid story based on rumor and speculation reaching for a purely unsubstantiated premise to attract readers and stir controversy. That's why it's good Tabloid.
