Tittle Tattle Too reports that Tom Cruise has told Katie to cut her shopping sprees down because he think sit is sending out the wrong message.

What message do you think that is? "We've got mega-beaucoup-bucks, so don't spend any of it, or our non-existant fans might think we're rich and frivolous?"

The article says that Cruise is alarmed at the fortune she has been spending at Barney's, Horn, and Bonpoint.

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."

On one shopping extravaganza to Barney's, Katie reportedly spent close to $20,000, and treated herself and buddy Posh Beckham to a couple $500 pairs of shoes. Right after that Katie was photographed carrying 5 bags of clothes of toys and outfits for baby Suri.

Well I guess since Tom has less fans than he can count on two hands these days, it might be a good idea to put Katie on a budget. Who knows if he'll ever have another box office smash again after trying to take over the world Scientology style.
