Tom Cruise Hearts Chace Crawford

Tom Cruise is a huge Gossip Girl fan. I know, right? I was shocked, too. He's very manly and doesn't seem like the type to be into a show about lusty teenagers text-messaging each other while wearing elaborate hair clips. Heh. Tom, accompanied by wife Katie Holmes as his excuse, rolled up on Chace Crawford at the MET's Costume Institute Gala and Tom gave him a jock-check. Ok, they really just told him how much they liked his show. But you know what Tom was after.

"Tom and Katie went up to Chace to say how much they love him and the show. They didn't talk to any of the other cast members," says a source.

Well, no, because Tom likes em' tall and Abercrombie. You know Chace got a special creme-colored card with raised print containing a single phone number with no name. Tom told Katie to stare at the punchbowl and think about Xenu as a distraction. Or he just hit her consciousness "off" switch.

Seeing as Chace we previously linked with N*Sync closet case JC Chasez, I don't think this is a newfangled thing for him.
