CRUISE WANTS SPECTOR FLICK TO BE HIS BABY

Hopes to muscle in on Zendaya project

Tom Cruise has long been fascinated by Phil Spector, insiders say

ACTION star Tom Cruise A is trying to muscle his way into a biopic about Ronettes singer Ronnie Spector because he's always been fascinated by the Be My Baby singer's infamous first hubby, Phil Spector, say sources.

While Emmy winner Zendaya has signed on to play Ronnie, our sources note Cruise has had a longtime fascination with Phil's macabre life story - and could use his sizable Hollywood sway to put his mark on the movie.

"Zendaya's commitment to play Ronnie Spector has sent Tom's antenna up about the whole project because he once dreamed of playing Phil Spector himself," reveals an insider.
