Tom Cruise gets X Factor fever

Even Tom Cruise has to get in line when it comes to The X Factor.

The UK Sun newspaper reports X Factor judge Louis Walsh revealed Cruise is desperate to get his hands on some tickets to the show.

Walsh said. "He came up to me and started talking about The X Factor. He knows Simon Cowell and has watched the show on the internet. He was intense and wanted to know all about how it works and what goes on behind the scenes."

Cruise is smart. He knows the UK entertainment vehicle is probably the hottest in the world right now. In addition, his actress wife Katie Holmes has performed on reality talent show So You Think You Can Dance, and is more than likely to be interested in the UK show.
