The Beckhams: Not splitting up

It must be weird being a super famous couple. You only have to take your wedding ring off for two seconds to scratch your finger and BING! TROUBLE IN PARADISE! As such, David and Victoria Beckham have been consistently looked at as potential divorcees. Recently, the rumour surrounded the pair again... something which Victoria Beckham was quick to dismiss.

Rumours that the couple were poised to break up spread across the internet (as unreliable source as any... including tabloid newspapers) last month but were denied by their representatives.

Victoria told The Mirror: "Unfortunately, you get used to ridiculous rumours and you just have to ignore them. But the thing is, when you have children, you don't want them to hear hurtful stories.

"That is why it's upsetting. Of course we are not splitting up; we are as in love, if not more in love, than ever. We are best friends. We never put pressure on each other."

She added: "It was our 11th wedding anniversary at the weekend and we celebrated it in style.

"People assume I don't drink but I'm only human and I can get pissed, and get hangovers, like everybody else. But it was a fabulous party."

The Beckham family to return to UK?

David and Victoria Beckham reportedly want to return to the UK. The England midfielder and ex-Spice Girl currently live in Los Angeles, though David is on loan at Italian club AC Milan until the end of the 2009/10 football season. Basically, that means splitting time between Italy and the United States of America. That can't be much fun as they're not exactly nearby. A source told Heat: "They've both decided they want to move back to the UK as soon as possible."

"The idea of uprooting the kids is hard to face. She also feels that, in doing that, she is somehow throwing in the towel."

They also claimed that Victoria was hurt by criticism of her guest judge stint on American Idol and unhappy with her appearance on the reality talent show.

The insider said: "Victoria has watched re-runs of herself on American Idol and hates the way she looks and sounds... She's told David she will not do any major TV work again and won't sign up to the series."

David Beckham's gay pride

Soccer star David Beckham has revealed he was "proud" to be called the gayest straight and blackest white man in Britain.

David Beckham was "proud" to be called the gayest straight and blackest white man in Britain.

The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star embraces the views of him as a fashion icon who is in touch with his feminine side.

When asked about being labelled the "gayest straight man in Britain and the blackest white man" David said: "Yes, I like that. When someone said that about me, it made me laugh and I was quite proud of it.

"To have that kind of effect on so many different people around the world, I was honoured. When people talk to me about being a gay icon I think of it as a great honour."

David attracted a new group of fans after wearing a sarong in 1998, admitting he used nail varnish and being interviewed by gay magazine 'Attitude'.

The 33-year-old sportsman insists he doesn't regret any of his fashion choices.

He added to GQ magazine: "If I see something I like I wear it. No matter what I think people are going to say about me. I don't do it for a statement, I do it because I like wearing different things."

David Beckham's alien hunt

David Beckham's sons are avid UFO spotters and singer Robbie Williams has vowed to help them pursue their hobby.

David Beckham's sons are avid UFO spotters.

The soccer star's friend Robbie Williams - who has previously admitted he is fascinated by UFOs - heard about nine-year-old Brooklyn, five-year-old Romeo and three-year-old Cruz's passion and has made it his mission to ensure they have a close encounter of the third kind.

Whenever Robbie hears that an unidentified object has been seen above Los Angeles, he phones David so he can take his sons to see it.

A source said: "The boys are fascinated by aliens and flying saucers and are desperate to see some. When Robbie heard about their love of UFOs he promised to tip David off. When the call comes, David and the boys rush into the Hollywood Hills to try to spot spooky lights."

However, Robbie's efforts do not always go according to plan.

The source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "After a tip from Robbie a few days ago, David took the boys to the Madeo restaurant to wait for a call saying some strange lights had been seen in the hills. But it was getting really late, and while they waited, Cruz fell asleep at the table."

Robbie has been a believer in alien life forms for years and recently attended a UFO convention in Nevada.

Victoria Beckham desperate to be more than a WAG

Run for cover people as Victoria Beckham has got the grumps. Why? Because of David's foray into facial fuzz? Nope. Cos she's just realised she has absolutely zero discernable talent? No (but it should be). Rather, pouty Posh is annoyed that America hasn't fallen for her charms yet and that she's still better known for her husband's fame and glory. Just like here in the UK, then.

Talking to Closer magazine, a friend of the star revealed: "She can't bear being known as someone's wife and she hates the WAG label. She's getting offered the same TV work as Paris Hilton when she wants to be on a level with her pal Kate Beckinsale - but she just isn't an actress. Posh doesn't feel she's seen as a credible fashion icon yet. She's also disappointed that the TV work she is offered is always to play herself or someone similar to herself."

That's what happens when you’re not an actress – you don’t get offered top acting roles. Funny that.

Posh is also said to be feeling her age and bans anyone from mentioning her 34th birthday which she celebrated with showbiz chums recently. Which we just did. Sorry Posh. But don’t worry, being so incredibly geriatric and past-it at the crinkly age of 34 you won’t be able to read for much longer and probably can't take to this fancy, new Interweb thing anyway.

Posh celebrates birthday with showbiz chums

And so a big Star Trip happy birthday for Victoria Beckham, who hit the grand old age of 34 yesterday. And how did the Spice Girl celebrate the big day? By getting drunk with her celebrity husband and celebrity mates all in a grand celebrity setting, of course. Ahh - she's just like you and me, isn’t she folks?

Vicky B and her hubby, some past-it footie player you might have heard of, enjoyed a meal out with her current favourite chum, actress (I say actress, but having watched her in Van Helsing, I beg to differ) Kate Beckinsale and her director husband Len Wiseman. Desperate Housewives strumpet Eva Longoria Parker was also part of the celebrations, fitting considering it all went down at her fancy LA restaurant Beso.

An onlooker commented in The Mirror: "After lots of champagne, they stumbled out and went back to the Beckham's Beverly Hills mansion and partied till 3am."

Notable by their absence were former best buddies Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Maybe Katie was too busy fighting her way out of Tom's home security system to make it. Either that, or she's officially been replaced by another scrawny, Hollywood robot. Tough break Katie.

School children name David Beckham their top role model

When you were a kid who did you look up to and admire? Chances are they were slightly more inspiring than the current crop of celebrities that British children claim are their top role models. A new poll conducted by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) found that a whopping 53% of sprogs want to be David Beckham. With his footballing prowess, hoards of lusty female fans and impressive bank balance – Mr. Beckham is one of the more understandable and logical choices found on the list. Unlike other names…

David's Spice Girl wife Victoria was inexplicably voted the second choice with 30% of the vote. Yes, she too enjoys a life of celebrity luxury and was once a hard-working pop star – but a role model for young minds? Still, it could be worse – Paris Hilton made it to number six on the list.

Elsewhere, sporting stars such as Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Formula One rookie Lewis Hamilton proved popular as are actors such as David Tennant and Keira Knightley, with music being represented by the Sugababes, Leona Lewis and Nadine Coyle.

Being in double digits, the idea that these celebrities are worthy role models has me scratching my head in confusion (not cos I have nits – urgh!), however the general secretary of the ATL, Dr. Mary Bousted, is far less surprised.

"It reflects the current media obsession with celebrity and the effect of celebrity culture on society as a whole," she explained. "However, we are deeply concerned many pupils' believe celebrity status is available to everyone. They do not understand the hard work it takes to achieve such status and do not think it is important to be actively engaged in school work as education is not needed for a celebrity status.

"Celebrity culture can perpetuate the notion that celebrity status is the greatest achievement and reinforces the belief that other career options are not valuable."

And let's be honest – not every girl aspiring to be a WAG is going to be pretty enough to pull it off.

The Beckhams hit up a sex shop

They've been married for a few years now and so to show the public that they still have the hots for one another, the Beckhams were spotted visiting a Hollywood sex shop – talk about spice up your life. The couple hit up the Pleasure Chest adult store late at night, dressing rather plainly (in a fruitless bid to look like they didn’t want to be snapped), and clearly enjoying their saucy adventure.

"David grabbed a small shopping basket and stocked up on some goods," a source told The Sun. "Victoria was very vocal, cracking jokes constantly. They seemed to know exactly what they wanted and after asking an assistant where items were, they grabbed what they came for." And what sex toys do appeal to such an A-list couple? Apparently, massage oil, personal lubricant, a Cyberskin vibrator, a leather braided cane and a padded black collar and restraint. Wish I hadn't asked now.

Hollywood's 'coolest' kids revealed

Hollywood's coolest kid? I kid you not. American magazine In Touch Weekly has ranked celebrity spawn and decided upon who is the 'coolest'. I have to confess, I'm a bit baffled by the notion of being deemed 'cool' when still not potty-trained. How could they have calculated such a thing? Did they ask take a poll in the playground and ask which kid has the best trainers and the most Panini football stickers? I don't think so. It's probably more an extension of their parents, a dash of designer togs and how much a photo shoot with OK! magazine is worth, but nevermind. Everyone likes to be thought of as cool, and so onto those impressive tots…

In at number five is Ava Phillippe – the daughter of Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon and her ex-husband Ryan. The number four spot is taken by our very own Brooklyn Beckham – edging out his brothers Cruz and Romeo to make the coveted list. Helene 'Leni' Klum, the offspring of supermodel Heidi Klum and Formula One boss Flavio Briatore is in at number three and at number two, narrowly missing out on the top spot is Suri Cruise (pictured). I had thought that the Scientology sprog looked a little like a slanty-eyed alien, but what do I know? And the one kid that all these famous faces look up to – click over for the number one coolest celebrity kid.

And the winner is (drum roll please) – Kingston Rossdale. With rock hunk Gavin Rossdale and the peroxide diva Gwen Stefani as your parents, 21-month-old Kingston has hit the genetic jackpot. The kid is often seen decked out in boho-trendy garb and has been described by his proud mother as "a chilled-out little guy". Keep up the good work Kingston, you'll have competition for the top spot soon with a sibling on the way.

Top Five Celebrity Blogs: Cos they can look good and type y'know

Nowadays everyone wants to get their two bits in and every Tom, Dick and Harry are getting in on the act with their own blog. No wonder celebs feel this  afield they want to explore by joining the online world, where a PR can't moderate all the comments! So who gives us a good read and who is just plain pants? We investigate...

Number 1: Lily Allen's Blog

Definitely not a PR stunt to gain her popularity this blog features diary entries, photos, and the odd bit of bad poetry. Hey that's what kids do these days. She also reveals such 'exclusives' as feeling suicidal and contemplating liposuction. Oh, and when she cancels a gig cos she's under the weather she shows us a picture of her with the doctors note (see above) to prove she ain't faking it. Read her most famous quote after the jump.

'This quote from her blog made front page of newspapers worldwide.

'Fat , ugly and shitter than winehouse..that is all i am , im on my own in america again . I used to pride myself on being strong minded and not being some stupid girl obsessed with the way I look . I felt like it didnt matter if I was a bit chubby cause , im not a model , I'm a singer . Im afraid I am not strong and have fallen vic tim to the evil machine . I write to you in a sea of tears from my hotel bed in Seattle , I have spent the past hour researching gastric bypass surgery , and laser lipo suction'

Hmm. Over-dramatic much?

Number 2: David Beckham Blog

Wow, he can play and write? Apparently as he posted this on his blog- '

'Hello and a happy new year to you all. I’ve had an incredible start to the year already! I was lucky enough to receive the Football Writers Tribute Award last night, which was amazing for me personally. I was pleased to have Sven Goran Eriksson and Bryan Robson there at the ceremony saying a few words about my career. Both of them have achieved much in the game and are good people. It was also very emotional watching the highlights of my career so far. I’m so proud of what I have accomplished and I know I still have plenty more to offer. It was a special night for both me and my family, who were also there with me, and I hope I can create some more memories to add to the ones recognised yesterday evening.'

Has he really written enough, ever, to justify an award? Hmm.

Here's another snippet,

'I was really pleased to be called up to the England squad in August, it is always an absolute honour and a privilege to play for my country and its something I’d always hoped would happen again. Unfortunately, things didn’t go the way we wanted and we won’t be going to Euro 2008, which is incredibly disappointing. However, looking to the future, I feel I still have something to offer. I’ll always want to play for my country and I hope I can continue to do so. It was brilliant to go along and celebrate my Academy’s 2nd anniversary. When the Academy first opened I could only have wished it would be a success, and seeing so many children coming through the doors and enjoying the game of football has been great. Here’s to many more!The Galaxy’s tour of Australia and New Zealand was also an amazing experience.'

He's very positive isn't he? Almost sickeningly so, actually no, make that extremely sickening.

 

Number 3: Spice Girls Blog

Written by the Girl power girls themselves, their blog includes tidbits about heir tours, new pics and updates. A different Spice writes each entry and the tone verges from chirpy, to very chirpy with a constant upbeat theme.

'Happy New Year everybody, it's going to be a good one. Myself and all the Spiceys had a great Christmas. We caught up with our families, ate lots of mince pies and got some well-needed sleep! ' got together for a New Year’s Eve dinner at Gordon Ramsay's fabulous restaurant in Claridges. We got dressed up and had a great night. It was really lovely to see in the New Year with all the girls. We celebrated all the fun times from 2007 and raised a glass (or seven) to the ones to come and to the people who make them possible… especially you guys. THANK YOU!'

Oh and there's a lot of name dropping and thanks, gotta love that. You have to laughat a  post from Victoria about Mel B losing her  bracelet though-

'Talking of the show on Tuesday, Mel B lost her bracelet as it flew off in to the audience and we want to say a big thank you to David who picked it up and contacted our management company to tell us that he had it. We’re grateful to him for being so honest and we’ll be meeting up with him before one of our shows in January to say thank him in person.'

Number 4: Jodie Marsh's Website

You have to sign up for this which is a little annoying, but once in the delight you'll get from her ramblings by far outweigh any frustrations. You get great little snippets and video from her, and hilarious comments such as:

'Now...... get your bums off your seats, get to your nearest newsagents and get yourself this week's edition of Ok cos mine and Matt's wedding photos are in there! It's a huge spread with tons of pics that span from the actual ceremony right up to the party in the night time. My favourite pics are: the one of us kissing on page 92 (that was our real first kiss as husband and wife ie. the bit where the registrar says "you may now kiss the bride") and I love the really big pic on page 95 - it was taken just as we were about to say our vows. Oooh I also love the pic of my dad giving his speech and the pics of our families and the pic of Dave Courtney and his wedding present to us and I love the pic of us with Syd Little on page 101. Sod it..... I love all the pics. I love my dress, I love how handsome Matt is, I love how sexy my bridesmaids look and how smart the ushers look. I love the fact that all the guests are dressed in black and white and I love how natural and beautiful all the pics are.'

Remember they broke up quite soon after! Hehe.  She does love overusing her exclamation marks as well.

Number 5:Matthew McConaughey

Yep, I didn't know he had a website either, and then I find out that he's been announcing potentially life changing news (for hm) on it, such as his impending fatherhood! Add to that the fact he has a rocking six pack and devilish smile and I'm adding this to my RSS feed.

''Got some blessed news… a celebration of life and bounty… a newborn conceived.. yes, my girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together… 3 months growing in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far… we are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being a mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life… from moms and dads, to family, to community, it takes the best will and support from everyone to raise the healthiest children we have in society… wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution…'

At time of going to press this info had generated so much hype that the site has been overloaded and is temporarily down, however I can't wait to see the Bio and pics he has up. He does use an eye straining font for his diary though-change that!

Runner Up:  Perez Hilton

This guy started off as a nonentity but thanks to his witty, insightful and very bitchy website he soon became a celebrity in himself- one that writes about other celebrities! He now has definite celeb status- a party ain't a party if Perez hasn't commented on it. Go the blogosphere, for creating a home grown celeb.

David Beckham shows us his Armani pants

The first campaign pics of David Beckham modelling pants for Armani   have been released, much to the delight of many a female office worker's desktop I'm sure. The LA Galaxy star is reported getting £20million for a three-year deal for the campaign in which he will challenge Calvin Klein's successful red waistband range fronted by Arsenal player Freddie Ljungberg. “[David is] a man with a great sense of style. There was a time when soccer players were not always considered to be fashion role models. David Beckham has helped to change that” said Armani. The Emporio Armani Underwear collection will launch in the U.S. launch early next year.

David Beckham: Raunchily real or gay expose?

This may or may not be the gorgeous David in the buff, a purportedly leaked cover for gay magazine Attitude. We must say those tightly clenched buttocks do look familiar and we're well acquainted with David pushing the raunch boundaries ( remember that shocking sexy erotic covershoot he did with Victoria?  ). Still,  David does like his gay following and has told a magazine before that, ' Being a gay icon is a great honor for me. I’m quite sure of my feminine side, and I’ve not got a problem with that at all. These days it’s the norm, and it should be.' We still can't be sure if this is definitely him or not, but either way you can still enjoy!

In the news: Keira thinks she's big, Britney's help quits and who hates Paris?

- Everyone is abandoning the sinking ship that is Britney Spears's career. Her manager Jeff Kwantinez has quit and so has her attorney, Laura Wasser who has been representing Britters throughout her custody battle with ex Kevin Federline. Maybe she should advertise for some replacements on YouTube like P Diddy. [People]

- “Weight is a big issue in Hollywood because I’m twice the size, height and everything else, of most of the girls who are going in to see the director for a part. When you realize that I am, at my size, one of the largest actresses there, you start to think, ‘I don’t think it’d be healthy for me to stay here much longer.” - Keira Knightley. Is she getting herself confused with someone else or does she have one of those wobbly fun-house mirrors? [Perez Hilton]

- Victoria Beckham is not going to be throwing any welcome parties for new L.A. resident Rebecca Loos. Mrs. Beckham is said to be devastated that her hubbie’s reported past bit-on-the-side is moving in on her turf and possibly jeopardising her acting aspirations. As an Oscar was practically her’s, eh? [Digital Spy]

- I love Dave Grohl. Not in a creepy stalker way, but even non Foo Fighters or Nirvana fans have got to hand it to the guy – he’s got style. And just to prove my fan worship worthy, the rock god has spoken out against socialite/ sex video star Paris Hilton: "Paris is f***ing lame. She's more offensive to me than anything. She's a total, raging, disgusting, rich, lazy party slut. I pray that my daughter will not turn out like her." Yeah, I’ll bet she does too after that outburst. [The Sun]

Loos to follow Beckham's to LA

Looking through Google for something on Rebecca Loos, I was stunned to find just how difficult it was to find a picture of her wearing any clothes. It seems that the lady once famed for man handling David Beckham's tackle and getting a pig off on national telly is quite the exhibitionist. Good thing she's moving to the land of the exhibitor - LA - which will please Posh no end.

Loos is keen to start a career in the US and believes a move to Los Angeles will help. An insider told The Daily Star: "Rebecca is ready to make the move across the pond and, of course, she will be dropping David Beckham’s name at every opportunity. The switch to LA is virtually a done deal. Loos has insisted she isn't worried about bumping into the couple, saying: “If I saw them in LA I wouldn’t avoid them. I don’t know what I would say, but I’m sure Victoria would talk to me. "There are plenty of gorgeous girls in LA. I don’t know if David is going to be a good boy."

- Kylie has been spotted with a new strawberry blonde bob hairstyle. Looking good lady! [The Sun]

- Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson is set to appear in the upcoming Sex and the City movie as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant. She needs an assistant? Why didn’t she advertise on YouTube like P Diddy? [IMDb]

- The Beckhams have topped Radar magazine’s poll of the most over-hyped people on the planet. David was described as an "overpaid soccer star" while Victoria was labelled a "pointless collection of body parts.” Still, as long as she carries a donor card she could prove useful one day. [Digital Spy]

- Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Big Brother twins Sam and Amanda Marchant are launching an assault on our ears with their cover of Aqua’s cheese fest hit Barbie Girl. Let’s hope it charts as well as other BB star’s singles, anyone remember Craig from BB1's Xmas ditty? [the Daily Mail]

Victoria Beckham in quite witty shocker

Victoria Beckham is once again the biggest news of the week with her husband David. The pair have just moved to LA for David's start with his new club the LA Galaxy, and of course for Victoria's fashionable stance and pout to get a cross-Atlantic work out.

Amid the publicity mania our Vic' has sure learned a thing or two about how to create some press. During filming for her reality TV show Victoria Beckham: Coming To America (which is yet to hit screens) she hit out at one rich and famous American star, with surprisingly witty results. When asked about Eddie Murphy she quipped, "Eddie Murphy? Beverly Hills C**k."

Surprisingly sharp for the ex-Spice Girl. She was of course defending ex bandmate Melanie Brown who got knocked up by the cheating actor, before he denied fatherhood of the tyke. If Victoria keeps up this cattiness she might just be thought of as something more than a walking wardrobe, could she be considered witty and intelligent? Maybe that's a stretch.

David Beckham joins the blogosphere

It seems celebrities can't help but jump onto the virtual bandwagon that is the Internet, as they see it as a cheap and easy platform of allowing their many minions fans to access them and learn exciting and informative facts, such as what their beloved ate for breakfast, or liked as a child. Now Becks has moved across the pond he's taken the plunge, with a website dedicated to himself , and a blog with insightful tidbits such as 'it does seem incredible that in all my time playing professional football, I haven’t had my own website'. Sure, whatever you say.

The Beckhams indulge in some soft core cover art

Posh and Becks have never been shy about baring their bodies, after all, what would be the point of all that starvation and buffing if they didn't have something seriously toned to show for it? What does surprise me though is the fact that there pics have a definite pornographic element to them, David's in particular seeming to model poses from Gay mags such as QX and Attitude. I know you have a nice butt honey, but I don't need to see you spreading it.

More pics after the jump.

Here we have David undressing Vic clad in some seriously tighty whitey's, and next we have the piece de resistance, the bum boys pose of David giving it large *ahem*.

David Beckham is happy to be out the house

You wouldn't expect mega rich football hotty and teen girl pin up David Beckham to have trouble getting out and about, but apparently going to the Silverstone Grand Prix was a 'rare event' for him and Victoria to spend time together. That must be why they decided to wear matching leather jackets, hmm?

Sweet smell of success? The Top Five worst celebrity perfumes

With every D-lister nowadays feeling like they can bring out heir own range and share their 'expertise',(yes Phoebe Price/ Jade Goody/we are talking about you) it seems only fair that we investigate the actually quality of their touted products.. and share all the details with our lovely readers. We look at the packaging the publicity, and oh, yes, the products. Our survey says..

Number 1: Shh.. by Jade Goody

It seems odd that someone known for shouting their mouth off would advocate a scent based around the principle of silence, and not so odd, that the fact that she couldn't;'t keep her mouth shut led to her scent being recalled from eh shelves of Boots in the light of the Shilpa scandal. Her perfume is described as 'Sweet and Enduring - just like Jade herself! Top Notes: Citrus Notes, Bergamot, Cassis. Middle Notes: Pink pepper, Cinnamon, Cumin, Freesia, Jasmine Rose, Iris. Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, Amber Moss and Musk'

I bet the marketing people are kicking themselves for that slogan now. How much better; Jade Goody- she'll linger on despite attempts to the contrary.  The bottle itself is nothing to write home about and the musk is a mixture of Body Shop products and urine. I think not.

See after the jump for more smelly celebs.

Number 2: Curious by Britney Spears

She may be queen of pop (well, that's fairly debatable nowadays) but she ain't queen of our noses. This olfactory monstrosity is 'white floral scented with magnolia and vanilla infused'. We say nice bottle, shame about the pong. A cross between Barbie after a night out and the pick n mix section in Sainsbury's, this sugary concoction hits none of the right notes. Thankfully some of her later scented offerings were a little more appreciated, ( In control.. mmm) but this atrocious assault on our noses heralded her decline into trailer trash like loungewear and bad hair extensions. The bottle though is adorable, very delicate and sweet, and with a sweet spritzing pad that makes it into some of the later incarnations.

Number 3: Enchanting by Celine Dion

Yes, I was surprised that this existed too. Expect muskiness that goes on and on.. similar to her one hit song? Perhaps that's unfair, so why don't you try it yourself with a free sample, and see what you think. Expect base notes that linger and heady musk.. Apparently the concept was 'to create a perfume that captures that magical moment when a woman feels the most beautiful and anything is possible'. Yeah, that would be it. The bottle design is rather plain, and having Dion swing in a sky does nothing to enhance it. while not an incredibly offensive smell it's nothing to write home about and one feels she could have better used her talents, umm, making glass break?

Number 4: Paris Hilton by Paris Hilton

Anyone ego-centric enough to name a perfume after themselves is probably not one to do a whole lot of testing the actual product, other than the obligatory demand that it be pink. To this end we have a long willowy pink bottle which smells like the Smurfs threw up in it. We're talking sugar overload, vanilla, cherry, all the things that apparently reflect Paris's decadent lifestyle are packaged together to produce a scent suitable for the under 5's.

Number 5: Intimately the Beckhams by The Beckhams

I can only rant for so long on the megalomaniacs stars that exist out there, or the atrocity that is this his n hers scent. Yes, they may be trying to take over the world with their empire (clothing range/books/TV show) but their foray in this field has resulted in absolute disdain. I dare you to find someone who actually praises this smell.. oh and the design; what design? For a style queen Victoria has sadly let the side down as these overpriced ugly bottles do nothing to reflect her personality and lifestyle.. or do they? A lot of promise, but basically nothing inside. And that's the thought of the day kids.

David Beckham wears his reluctance in his sleevework

If you're reading this you're literate, which means you probably already know all about Posh n' Becks' romantic birthday escapades in Paris. I won't patronise you by repeating the unimaginative and predictable - you'd think all that money could have bought him a little bit of imagination, even if it was someone else's, but no - details of their trip. Nope.

Instead, I am going to give you an in depth and fascinating guide to Goldenballs' new tattoo, because it's his soul laid bare or something, which means you're probably wetting yourself in anticipation. Or you're bored and killing time at work. Who am I to judge?

All the info comes from a source *coughpublicistcough* speaking to Britain's Daily Mail tabloid.

[The tattoo] consists of two 'symbolic' pieces that reflect the 'deep turmoil he feels about going to LA' said a source close to the former England captain.

Most significant, said the source, are the words 'Pray For Me' inscribed on the inside of his right wrist.

"This is how he feels about the massive move from being an English boy through and through, who has represented his country for many years and is now turning his back on England to embrace America," the source said.

"The move was never an easy decision and it wasn't really David's, it was Victoria's from day one.

"The tattoo is not something Victoria wanted him to go ahead with as she felt it would not be a good start to their time in LA, but David was adamant that he would show his true feelings about the move and stop covering it up, even if it is rather cryptic," the source added.

The three words are inscribed next to another symbolic piece Beckham apparently wanted to reflect who he feels he has been for the past ten years - a Knight Templar, symbolised by a cross.

The Templar Knights, recognisable by their white mantle with distinct red cross, are for David the symbols of him and the England team.

He asked the tattoo artist to etch the Knight Templar on his arm as he "feels the knights were the best equipped, trained, and disciplined fighting units of the Crusades, just as he has always tried to be as a footballer representing his team of knights".

The main tattoo on the forearm is a giant angel sentinel, holding a flame in her hand so that her face is illuminated from below. The wings spread round Beckham's arm and merge with the existing tattoos

The second tattoo across his arm is  a quote by the Roman Emperor Tiberius and also used by Caligula.

It reads: "Lets them hate (me) as long as they fear (me)."

Check out close(ish)-ups of the sleevework here.

Beckham reality TV show may not happen

Sad news everyone: the NBC reality TV show that was supposed to document the Beckham's move to LA may not happen after all. (I know this is soul shattering news, but please try to hold yourself together.) Apparently the only footage that's been filmed so far is of Victoria Beckham looking for a house and a school for her kids. A source has revealed that, "David and Victoria are not well known out there and they have not yet been able to convince any of their celebrity friends to come on." The Metro also reports that although it was rumoured the couple was paid £1million for the show, it turns out they've only been paid £300,000. Poor Posh, I just hope she doesn't get too desperate for footage and decide to go to Tom Cruise's cult Scientology meetings.

Posh lets her hair down and is one of us. Or something.

The Beckhams went out and got drunk. Oh lordy me. I know everyone's wetting their pants because good ol' Posh, who is completely and utterly in control of her public image at every millisecond of the day, was caught letting her hair down and was photographed pissed for only about the third time in 10 years of tabloid dominance.

Oooh, how exciting.

But is anyone out there dumb enough to think that a woman who is that controlling of her image wasn't in control even when drunk? I'm not implying she wasn't pissed, but that she got pissed in public so that people could see that good ol' Vicky was just like us, and goes out on the lash with Dave to let her hair down. Next week we'll see her in Mecca Bingo, and shopping at Asda. Because we're all chav scum, natch.

I'm not going to show you the pics, because that's pandering. If you want to see them, go find them. I'd much rather look at this baby panda.

Posh n' Becks spend 10 minutes' salary on £750k party

Never a couple to do things by halves, the Beckhams will be saying farewell to the UK with an American themed party costing an estimated £750,000. Posh and Becks are old hands at the expensive party routine; last year's pre-World Cup extravaganza was said to have set them back £500,000. For one party. I know the Beckhams aren't alone in this behaviour, and that their parties are often charity fundraisers, but the fact that they spend so much when we're facing global crises related to poverty and 600,000 children in the UK under the age of three - let alone the rest of the world - live below the poverty line...

Anyway. A source - presumably totally unrelated to the Beckhams' PR machine - told the People newsaper: "They spent £500,000 last year and this year's bash will be even bigger. It is called The America Party and organisers are busy planning. David and Victoria are both really excited about relocating and want to make sure they have a good send off. Themed tables will each represent one of the 50 states, food will be American themed - even the waitresses will be dressed in American diner-style uniforms like something out of Grease. It's going to be really tacky and all very tongue-in-cheek - which totally sums up Victoria's sense of humour."

A miserable Katie Holmes seeks support from Posh Spice

The TomKat relationship has long been the subject of internet ridicule, and many believe the marriage to be a sham defined by the terms of a rigid contract. But the mainstream press has been less cynical about the whole affair - until now. According to Us Weekly magazine, Katie Holmes is so despairing of her relationship with Tom Cruise that she spends hours on the phone with Victoria Beckham, seeking advice.

A source close to TomKat told the magazine all sorts that you'd think anyone close to the couple would keep to themselves - or at least confidential chats with Katie's parents. "Katie has been crying over the phone. She's frustrated. Tom is denying her every single thing. ... Once, Katie and Victoria talked on the phone for four hours."

While you can't learn much more without buying the magazine, the cover also implies that Cruise has near-total control over Katie, as he screens her phone, threatens to take her credit cards away, and moves his family in. Oh, the joys of living with mother-in-law.

Posh goes blonde and may have reality TV show...but is Becks happy?

Posh seems to be transitioning to life in LA quite well, considering now she's gone blonde. It actually looks cute on her, but this whole "I Heart LA" act could be just that: an act. Mrs.Beckham has apparently been slamming the phone down on Becks, and seems to be getting lonely roaming the streets of LA alone. Sources close to Beckhams apparently told Grazia magazine that: "She thought this was her time to pursue everything she wanted but she underestimated what a major upheaval it was for David. Victoria has been thrilled to be socialising with Katie Holmes. But it's like he's just left struggling to adjust." Trouble in paradise? We may get to see it all unfold as it's rumoured Posh has signed a £10million contract with a US production company to have a reality TV show that will document her family's move to LA. Now that I'd like to see...

Katie To Play Posh

Now, please understand that here at Star Trip we're not the sort of people who will judge an artistic endeavour before we've seen/heard it.  That would be wrong and ignorant of us.  But, faced with the rumour that Tom Cruise has pitched the idea of a David Beckham biopic - let's just say eyebrows were raised.  The fact that Paramount optioned the movie caused those same eyebrows to move higher.  And, well, certain people will be taking tweezers to the backs of their necks in future with the news that Katie Holmes is set to play Posh.

A British actor is being lined up to play Becks, which will undoubtedly lead to guesswork aplenty in the press.  No word yet on who'll play Rebecca Loos.  An insider said "Tom has a brilliant grasp of what the public want to see".  Really?  And he STILL made The Last Samurai?  [Toni Kelly]

David Beckham: Victoria Is Addicted To Shopping

David Beckham has gone on the record with something we all knew; wife Victoria is addicted to spending and shopping, and not always with their own money. She's also apparently a bit tight-fisted, as David says: "Victoria loves shopping. She goes out and buys loads of expensive bags and clothes. Then she says, 'I bought you something', and hands me this leather bracelet that cost about one euro."

In times of trouble, David Beckham turns to... Tom Cruise?

No, my jaw dropped when reading that too. But the Mirror has revealed that, yes, Becks gave Cruise a ring after being dropped by England. I look forward to David bounding about on a GMTV sofa in a crazed effort to prove he's fit enough for a recall. His vision will have to improve though – on yesterday's Chris Moyles Radio 1 show, he claimed that Wayne Rooney is "good looking". Hmm.

Oh, and also, Becks loves to see wife Victoria dress up in his football shirts, refused the gift of a Lily Allen single after she'd said "horrible" things about Posh, and praised Victoria's mothering skills, while revealing that he makes the school-run every day.

"People are surprised that we get up and take our kids to school," he says. "But I love doing it. I hate that there are film crews outside the school every day. For me, it's wrong."

The Great British public should not be allowed to vote in polls

Sorry, that may sound harsh – and could cause a few problems for our entire system of parliamentary democracy – but it's the inescapable conclusion from a couple of stories in today's papers. First, Victoria Beckham has been voted the country's top "yummy mummy" on account of "always looking perfectly groomed". That's not grooming, that's not-eating! Second and third places were taken by Nigella Lawson and, er, Angelina Jolie. Who's not even British.

More proof that us humans are just too stupid to be allowed to vote on anything comes in a poll for Yahoo to find the greatest ever movie starlet. Keira Knightley takes the prize, just ahead of Judy Garland and Scarlett Johansson. Yahoo defines a starlet as "an actress who people instantly think of as being young, vivacious, stylish, popular and – most of all – talented." So what Lindsay Lohan (yes, yes, yes, hmm, and er...) is doing at number six in the chart is anyone's guess.

Tabloid Tales: Justin Timberlake reckons he's David Beckham's doppelganger

Shouldn't that be the other way around? Anyway, the comment came as Trousersnake accepted an award for International Man Of The Year last night. "Everyone thinks myself and Becks look like brothers - we're like twins separated at birth." I'm now going to be plagued all day by a mental image of DB taking Justin's place in the SexyBack video (although I can't quite see Timberlake scampering down the wing for England. Then again, I can't see Becks doing that any more...)

I'm not sure what kind of crazy awards ceremony this was though, given that Russell Brand won, er, Mos Stylish Man Of The Year. I know scarves, super-skinny kecks and stubble is in this year, but still.

A Week With Posh & Becks

Somebody needs to let the Beckham's know that this really isn't good enough. Week after week, I set out to write 'A Week With Posh & Becks' and I mostly have very little to say. Now I'm not suggesting they should have a screaming argument in public just to give me something to write about (though it would be nice), I'd just like them to, you know, do more than play football or shop.

The usual rounds of "friends fear for skinny Victoria" have been doing the rounds in the 'gossip and lifestyle' magazines, but that aside, there is NOTHING for me to say here. If P&B aren't careful, I'm going to have to start making it up. And I have a very overactive imagination ("David Beckham Eaten By Comeback Dodos!").

A Week With Posh 'N' Becks

Another relatively quiet week for the couple who single-handedly kept the celeb rag market afloat during those difficult early years.  All we can offer you is the story of Vicky Beckham's amazing six-hour booze bender, as covered here yesterday.  Only six hours?  Girl needs to come out with Mr Kelly on St. Patrick's Day if she thinks that's impressive.

Considering she's looking to sprog up again, we can't help but wonder if a night of "wine appreciation" might not be the best idea.  Meanwhile David was training with his Real Madrid team-mates, so while one partner was hanging out with a load of over-paid, over-hyped celebs who spend all their time getting manicures and shopping 'til they drop, at least Victoria was doing something worthwhile.

What do we pay our celeb couples for?  Not only are Britkev not getting up to anything interesting at the moment, but Posh and Becks are being far too restrained altogether.  Aside from this pathetically cheesy Japanese ad, apparently for some clothes, there's been precious little to report.  David missed training with Real Madrid last night and might be in hot water as a result, but that's more of a matter for our friends at WAATP.  Posh!  Becks!  Entertain us, now!  [Toni Kelly]

The World Cup may well be over, but that doesn't mean Victoria and David Beckham's media presence has waned at all.

A Week With Posh & Becks

As usual, the last week has included plenty of news about David and Victoria Beckham. Does a day ever pass without something, somewhere being written about them? Maybe I need to emigrate to Yemen to escape the media onslaught...

Anyway. Victoria did the unthinkable and cut her hair, prompting Star Trip's very own Stuart to get very excited about the newfound ability to use the phrase "elfin good looks" once again. But Victoria has rained on that parade by changing her mind and getting extensions put back in. Qu'est ce que c'est le point?

There's also been news that the duo plan to release a set of his and her's fragrances, which is some spectacular bandwagon jumping, it must be said. The scents will be called 'Intimately'. It'll be David's second aftershave launch; his 'Instinct' brand became the best selling of all time when it was released.

Victoria is also said to have been invited to visit Suri Cruise, but is apparently shocked by the list of things she can and can't do whilst there. Posh isn't allowed to take any photographic equipment or touch Suri and baby-talk is banned. How very odd.

That's the latest from Posh and Becks Towers - see you next week. [Toni Kelly]

The Beckhams Try For A Daughter

Am I the only one who finds the Beckham's open determination and desire to have a daughter a bit hard to take? Star magazine have reported that the couple are renting a Spanish mansion - at a cost of £14,000 per day - to focus on baby-making, and this time they want a girl after three sons. Victoria has even spoken out about her desire for a daughter: "I wouldn't mind having one or two more children - and I'd love to have a girl. I can imagine helping her with her make-up and choosing her clothes with her."

Let's imagine their "special time together" goes to plan and Victoria is soon repeatedly denying then eventually admitting announcing she's pregnant, and it turns out to be a boy. The world and his wife knows they wanted a girl, and surely that poor kid, if male, is going to grow up knowing that. It's a good job they're rich: I see this leading to a lot of therapy.

Jade Goody's Aroma Gives David Beckham a Stinker

Poor Becks. If throwing up a couple of times while playing against Ecuador wasn't enough, he's now got something else to feel nauseous about. Apparently his Instinct perfume has been outsold 4-to-1 this week by Jade Goody's new Shh.. fragrance, which has shifted 1,000 bottles in just seven days. Jade stands to make around a million quid from the perfume, which should enable her to follow Becks' example and trade up to a huge mansion on the outskirts of Harlow. Which is enough to make anyone feel queasy... [Stuart Dredge]

David & Victoria Beckham Renew Their Wedding Vows.

It seems a week cannot go buy in showbiz without a new story about the Beckham's marriage. This week, however, there's no PAs or suntan experts around and it's actually a positive story about their relationship. For those of you thinking this might just be good PR for David during the World Cup we think alike maybe they're just happy?

Star magazine reports David recently surprised Victoria with a ceremony to renew their wedding vows. Following continued reports of his infidelity, let's hope David takes them a bit more seriously this time! The ceremony took place at their Madrid home and a friend revealed: "David keeps saying how they are getting on better since they moved into their home in Madrid. They are truly operting like a solid family and renewed vows are a celebration of being able to spend the rest of their lives together."

I've promised myself not to be cynical today, so it's probably best I leave this entry here. [Toni Kelly]

"When it comes to my family that is one thing I won't accept and never will.I find it sad that one person drops to the level of criticising my family, but it is one sad person thinking of what they can do to put me off my next game."

OR, maybe they just hate you? [Toni Kelly]

See David Beckham Get Punk'd by Rio Ferdinand

Hats off to Rio Ferdinand for his whizzo scheme to aid England's World Cup effort by, er, playing some dastardly tricks on his team-mates, getting them filmed and then screened on prime-time TV. Rio clearly fancies himself as Britain's answer to Punk'd presenter Ashton Kutcher (which hopefully means Rio will soon go the whole hog and shack up with an elderly actress, say, Barbara Windsor).

Anyway, YouTube has the most hilarious of Rio's japes - convincing David Beckham he's about to be kidnapped in a runaway car. That's the David Beckham whose wife and kids have semi-regularly been subject to kidnap threats. Funny guy. Anyway, click below to watch it. How does Rio shape up presenting-wise? One YouTube commenter nails it: "He is a homeless man's Ashton Kutcher." Ouch! [Stuart Dredge]

David Beckham Fury At German Newspaper.

Here at Star Trip, we like to kid ourselves think that we report on celebrity gossip with a tongue-in-cheek-not-sucking-up-to-anyone flair. However, we're well aware that there's a line and, being good little journalists, we try not to cross it (though the line doesn't exist when it comes to Heather Mills McCartney). Others, so it would seem, don't think the line exists at all in any circumstance. Well how else could you explain what German newspaper Bild have been saying about the Beckhams.

Much to England captain David's annoyance, they lashed out at the entire family. Quotes include Beckham's Mum being branded as having "a smile of a peasant" and called his sister "Fat-Ham". You can read a full rundown of the German onslaught by clicking here. [Toni Kelly]

FA Disses David Beckham's Rapping Skillz

As if we needed any more evidence that the Football Association are blithering idiots, today's Sun has a story revealing that New Order were set to re-release their classic World In Motion song for the 2002 World Cup - with David Beckham handling the legendary John Barnes rap part. And the FA passed on the chance, the big ninnies: "He agreed! So did his management," New Order's Peter Hook tells the Sun. "In fact, everything was in place, but then the FA banned it because they had already signed Ant and Dec." Read it and weep, folks. [Stuart Dredge]
