Tom Cruise has told wife Katie Holmes to curb her shopping sprees.

The actor is said to be alarmed that Katie is spending a fortune in Los Angeles stores Barneys, Horn and Bonpoint, and has urged her to stop being so "frivolous".

A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Katie looks like she has been moping about having to curtail her shopping sprees. She said Tom wants her to take a break as he thinks it might be sending out the wrong message.

"He certainly doesn't have to worry about money and Katie is not on a budget - it seems he just doesn't want people thinking she is frivolous and all about shopping and money."

Katie, 28, was reported to have spent a staggering $200,000 at Beverly Hills' department store Barneys during a recent visit.

She was seen visiting the store with good friend Victoria Beckham, the wife of millionaire soccer star David, and treated the former Spice Girl to two pairs of $500 shoes.

A few days later, Katie was photographed carrying five bags of baby clothes for her and Tom's 11-month-old daughter Suri.

Earlier this month, it was revealed Tom has insisted on accompanying Katie to the set of her new movie 'Mad Money' in Louisiana.

I think kate should spend it all on shoes! Its sure beats giving it to the cult of scientology.

That’s it, take him for all you can now, and then take the rest in alimony later. Maybe somebody is doing some behind the scenes de-programming on her, must be Constipated Spice.

I bet the amount of money she spends on shopping doesn’t compare to the amount of money HE gives to his cult. Zip it Tom! Wait until she leaves your sorry ass…then you’ll see how much she REALLY spends!

Yeah, Katie, hit him where it hurts, his wallet. Oooh la la makes a valid point, she will make boat loads of paper once the divorce settlement comes through

She probably paid all the employee’s overtimes so that she can stay in a little longer….every second away from Tom should be a blessing to her!

who gives a shit. None of these people understand the value of money the way the rest of us do. Nor do they appreciate it. And tom should be giving her all he has since she IS all he has along with suri. He beter be paying her big. And quit giving money to that ridiculous abusive cult.

Katie, tell the dork to STFU immediately and go spend some more.  What else can she do?  She’s a virtual prisoner in her own home with the prick.

I still swear that kid is older than 11 months old and this whole Suri story is still loaded with lies.

Give me a break.  I don’t believe this at all.  Her spending??  She could spend a million a week and still come out on top.  Some people with money do value it and appreciate it, especially if it is worked hard for.

LOL @ little Suri’s expression there.

Damn! how the hell do you spend that much in one trip? Well tom that’s what happens when you don’t give anything in bed.

vtgal, I have been saying for the longest that Suri is at least a year old, Chris Klein (American Pie, Katie’s ex-fiancee) is Suri’s biological daughter. Her looking older only proves this theory

Why is he always crushing her damn hand!

Uh oh Tom! I think Katie’s leash is getting too long, maybe the spell on Katie is wearing off…you better send her back off to the scientologists to continue with the brainwashing before she totally foils your plans.

“You are getting sleepy, You’re eyes are getting heavy, You love Tom. He is a wonderful man. He is an amazing husband and a good father. He is NOT gay, You will do whatever he tells you, you will stop spending money on shoes, you will be best friends with a Spice Girl…”

-The Scientologists.

Hahaha
