Tom Cruise is on vacation and it's a good thing his reservations weren't for last week.

Guests at the Fiji Wakaya Club Resort might have seen another fireworks show weeks after the fourth as his ex, Nicole Kidman, and fellow Australian friend Russell Crowe were vactioning together with the two children at the same exclusive resort only last week.

Rumors began months ago when the two showed up at a trendy club arm-in-arm and were definitely enjoying the company. A friend of Nicole's said, "She just wants her life and to hell with who knows. She and Russell are an item."

Both star's camps deny anything more than a friendship, but spending a week together at the Wakaya, a $1,300 a night resort which is visited for its privacy (only 18 guests at a time), makes the mind wonder.
