L’s in his life

The last time the pint sized actor married a Catholic, it didn’t really work out for him.

It was one of the biggest L’s in his life.

The A list singer would be an even bigger L and she is still married.

It would be fun to watch him make an ass out of himself again though.

Catholic ex-wife: Katie Holmes

Shakira (still married to: Gerard Piqué)

Tom Cruise is ‘extremely interested in pursuing’ Shakira

The race is on … for single Shakira.

After Tom Cruise and the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer were photographed hanging out together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami over the weekend, a source exclusively tells Page Six: “He is extremely interested in pursuing her.”

“There is chemistry,” says the source.

Cruise, 60, is single and Shakira, 46, split from her longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqué, 36, last June amid allegations he was having an affair with his now-girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti.

“Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,” says our source — adding that Cruise has the benefit of being, “a nice-looking guy, and he is talented.”

The source also cracked, “And she isn’t taller than him.”

Cruise is 5-foot-7 while the pop star is 5-foot-2.

A source tells us that Cruise was so taken by the pop diva that he allegedly sent her flowers.

On Sunday, the “Top Gun: Maverick” star and the Colombian chanteuse spent time together on the race’s starting grid and were seen chatting in a private hospitality suite.- Source
