EMILY PRESCOTT: Show me the money, Maverick! Shirley Ballas Reveals That Tom Cruise Hired Her To Teach Him Salsa Dance… And Left Without Paying The Bill
Tom Cruise is one of the world’s richest actors, so why didn’t he pay Shirley Ballas for a dance class she gave him when he was married to Nicole Kidman?
Strictly judge Shirley, pictured with Tom at the time of his class, says the star wanted to impress his then-wife by dancing salsa on their anniversary.
They were married for ten years before divorcing in 2001. The 62-year-old Queen of Latin remarks sharply of Cruise, now 60: ‘What a mover Tom is – but I never got paid for that lesson and he got three hours!’
Time to cough up, Tom.

Emilia has already been spoken for
Emilia Boateng has been crowned Tatler’s most eligible bachelorette, but not everyone is happy for her.
Each year, the Society Bible compiles a list of the UK’s 200 most eligible people, called Little Black Book, and celebrates by throwing a party to bring them all together.
Emilia, 22, appeared on this year’s cover, below, along with most eligible bachelor, footballer Mason Mount, telling me she’s been bombarded with angry messages from heartbroken female fans of the Chelsea star, who feared the couple was dating.
Bizarrely, despite Emilia – the model daughter of Savile Row royalty Ozwald – winning the singleton crown, she actually does have a boyfriend.

Bizarrely, despite Emilia – the model daughter of Savile Row royalty Ozwald – winning the singleton crown, she actually does have a boyfriend.
Emilia appears in my photo, next to her photographer Ahmed Hassan. “I insisted on Tatler’s first black photographer, which is very important to me,” she said.
English star Mason wasn’t at the party, which isn’t surprising considering he’s only been to a pub once – and that was to film an advertisement!
Tatler now often has Love Island stars on his Black Book list, but it hasn’t completely forgotten about the aristocracy. The eldest son of the Duke of Argyll, Archie Campbell, Marquess of Lorne, tells me he is honored to grace the pages. The 18-year-old Marquess is currently in doubt as to which university to attend – Exeter or Newcastle – where he will study rural management before taking over his family’s Scottish estate. However, he admits that the ‘nice cheap pints’ in Newcastle might just go for it.
In the meantime, he will be wandering around Italy on a gap year.
