Victoria Beckham has fueled reports she and husband David are converting to Scientology, after she was spotted reading a book from the controversial religion.

The Beckhams struck up an unusual friendship with superstar Scientologist Tom Cruise last year, and newspaper reports at the time stated that Cruise was grooming them as converts.

During her trip to Los Angeles last week, Victoria was photographed leafing through Assists for Illness and Injuries, based on the works of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Victoria also watched a fashion show with Cruise's pregnant fiancee Katie Homes during her trip. The actress, who converted to Scientology after she began dating Cruise earlier this year, recommended the book after hearing of the Beckhams' second son Romeo's recent health problems.

Well, this is the same woman who admits to never having read a book, isn't it? I get why people like her husband, but I'm just not getting what the appeal is with her. Yuck. Tom Cruise can have her.
