One of the most famous Hollywood couples, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, seem to have a very little popularity in the French Riviera, for they were recently turned away from a St. Tropez nightclub in front of dozens of onlookers.

The pair was refused entry to the Caves Du Roi club in the exclusive Byblos Hotel because the club was full.

The bouncers did not let Cruise in even when the actor’s security told them his identity.

"The VIP area was full and the management weren't willing to move the guests already there to make room for Tom. It wouldn't have been fair - they'd spent a fortune," the Mirror quoted a club source as saying.

A spokeswoman for the hotel has confirmed that Cruise and Holmes had been turned away because the club was full.

"It would have been dangerous to allow any more people in - whoever they were," she said.

Rap mogul star Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who came to the Caves with the members of the Dubai royal family, was however allowed entry.
