Beckhams get apology from nanny

David and Victoria Beckham have received an official apology from their former nanny after she revealed confidential information about them in a newspaper. The couple took legal action against Abbie Gibson after she gave an interview to the News Of The World in April 2005 discussing personal details about their private lives. Speaking in the High Court this morning, their solicitor Gerrard Tyrrell said that Gibson had "unconditionally apologised" to the family for "breaching her duties of confidence". He went on to say that she had now agreed to "give permanent undertakings of confidentiality" to the couple and will be withdrawing her claim for constructive dismissal against them.

Tyrrell also discussed a subsequent article published by The People in July 2005 which claimed that Gibson had received threatening and insulting phone calls from David Beckham. He said: "The People have already publicly apologised for making this false and defamatory claim and have paid damages to David Beckham.

"Ms Gibson is happy to confirm that David Beckham did not at any stage make any such telephone calls to her. She apologises if anything she said to The People gave them a false impression that such calls had been made." Gibson worked for the celebrity couple between May 2003 and March 2005.

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 Either that, or she's officially been replaced by another scrawny, Hollywood robot.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.

Tom worried that Katie is morphing in to Posh

Remember when Katie Holmes was better known for being 'Little Joey Potter' on Dawson's Creek? Back then she probably ate all her greens, never forgot her please's and thank you's and was generally a sweet, wholesome, chubby-cheeked poppet, remember? So does Star Trip. That's why we hate to see her gradually morphing into close chum Victoria Beckham. And so does hubby Tom Cruise apparently…

Just look at the pair of them together. The hair, the gaunt expression, the pathetic neediness for their more successful husbands. They could be the same shallow, stick-thin person. And this is not acceptable for Mr. Cruise.

"Katie sees Victoria as a role model," says a source close to the A-listers. "She copies Victoria's look and even cut her hair the same way. She is very thin largely because she is following Victoria's strict 900-calories-a-day eating plan. She is copying Victoria's fad of eating seaweed shakes, frozen grapes and edamame beans. She is tiny."

Come on Katie – snap out of it and go grab yourself some grub. We've long lost Posh to the dark side of no food, smiling or silliness – but not you too Katie. Surely Tom must be able to coax her into eating something, it's hardly Mission Impossible (ho ho – see what we did there?)

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.

Pals worry that Posh is "exhausted"

Friends of Victoria Beckham (otherwise known as her staff) are concerned that she is wearing herself out. Speaking to Grazia magazine (cos the tabloids are so grubby), one chum revealed: "Victoria has been running on empty for the last few months and is very, very tired. The tour has completely drained all the energy out of her, as it did the other girls, but on top of her Spice Girl commitments, Victoria has continued to invest masses of energy into her fashion career. Everyone is very worried she might keel over."

Fashion career? As the pop one went so well. The pal continued: "Victoria kept saying how exhausted she was and there were moments backstage when she had to stop and sit down or lean against a wall because she felt so wobbly."

That could be due to blatantly eating nothing – go on girl, get a sandwich down your neck. But more importantly, do we believe such comments? Couldn’t they be a very convenient way to achieve public sympathy, and why does she need to work at such a reported break-neak speed anyway? She's set up for life and doesn't need to work herself into the ground.

Come on Vicky – have a sit down, put your feet up and have a nice relaxing cuppa.

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]

Posh's leg - what the Hell is wrong with it?

Pictures seem to be all over the papers today of Victoria Beckham’s dodgy looking leg. Never one to miss out – here for Star Trip is the snap that will have Posh gnashing her bleached teeth and tearing at her bleached hair. Just what is wrong with her leg? All theories welcome. I know exercising is beneath her (it would involve taking off her hooker heels) but surely David could advise her on a few stretches to help. Or maybe her new Hollywood pals could give her the number of a good plastic surgeon, as the one that (may or may not have) done her boobs, needs their license revoking.

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...

Welcome to America, Posh & Becks

This photo almost renders me speechless. This frightening wax sculpture of the Beckhams being welcomed to America by President Bush has just been unveiled at Madame Tussauds in New York. It will stand in Times Square for two weeks, as it's on loan from London, so tourists can have their picture taken with the waxy British couple. Somewhere out there, Posh is weeping with joy.

Posh sure has perked up for the Holidays

Posh, as seen here, doesn't exactly seem to be feeling overly festive. However, two big parts of her seem to have perked up for the Holiday season. I hate to have to point this out, but she's looking a little...unnatural.

Back when her world was "Spicy" and Beckham-less, didn't she seem softer and more friendly? Now she just seems sharp, and Nazi like. It's been reported that after the birth of her first child in 1999,she got breast implants, and now, almost eight later it appears she's had even more work done.

Now, I don't personally care. She can do whatever she wants. However, I  wonder how many times she knocked over the Christmas tree while trying to hang ornaments. Maybe Santa will bring her a industrial strength, wool jumper for Christmas to protect the young Beckham children from losing an eye or even losing a limb.

Billie and Kate lash out against extra thin role models

  Kate Winslet and Billie Piper have both spoken up recently against stars like Victoria Beckham and other skeleton-esque celebrities. The lovely, curvaceous Kate said this to the BBC on Sunday morning,

"It is unbelievably disturbing what's going on at the moment...It's so disturbing because young girls are impressionable from 11 up to 19 or 20 even...They're trying to figure out who they are and they want to be loved, and what I resent is that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner and it's truly upsetting to me."

Amen, sister. Billie Piper, who has battled anorexia in the past, apparently can't understand why young girls idolize the body of Victoria Beckham,"My sister is 13 and she's already worried about her figure. She loves Posh and I say 'Come on Ellie, she's tiny. What's wrong with Shakira? She's sexy, curvy.' But she has no interest."

So refreshing to hear healthy celebrities actually speaking up! If only more starlets would rebel and clue in the rest of the show biz world that eating is, like, so hot right now.

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."

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]

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.

Cheryl Tweedie and Victoria Beckham Cellulite Shocker

Now come on. Nobody seriously thinks there's an ounce of cellulite on Posh or Cheryl. But if there is, they'll have the chance to shift it during next month's World Cup in Germany. The hotel where the England footballer wives will be staying has apparently spent £100,000 revamping its gym with the latest fat-fighting kit, including a machine that claims to beat cellulite using the Power Of Electricity alone. If I was a proper tabloid journo, I'd be kick-starting a 'Are they calling Our Boys' Birds a load of old chubbers?' campaign immediately... [Stuart Dredge]

Victoria Beckham's Tribute Tattoo

A source has told the Sunday Mirror rag that Victoria Beckham is getting a new tattoo to commemorate the first time her and David slept together. She apparently chose the design after David whisked her away to Paris for a weekend to celebrate their anniversary, the 8th May. 'Victoria hadn't remembered the exact dates - but she was bowled over when David told her during dinner. She knew then that she had to commemorate the occasion with something permanent', the source blabbed, adding that she was due to get '8th May' inscripted on her wrist in Roman numerals. I rather think a picture of a football boot popping a cherry with a high heel stiletto would be a much better tribute myself. [Katherine Hannaford]

Wonder If Hubby Marilyn Manson Will Be Attending?

Venerable sex-kitten Dita Von Teese has stripped for many a cashed-up 'sleb, but I bet stripping for Posh and Becks will be an experience she'll never forget. The ubiquitous couple have booked the burlesque stripper for their pre-World Cup party, an insider told the Mirror 'The party has a slightly naughty theme and Victoria and David just feel that Dita will be perfect.' Now, I wonder what 'naughty' means to Posh and Becks - Perhaps we can expect to see a slobbish, unmade-up Vic drinking Fosters, with David sporting a week's growth on both his face and legs? Anyone got a spare invite to what's being touted as the 'highlight of the showbiz calendar' ? Rats, I guess I'll have to wait for the photos to appear in OK! magazine along with everyone else.
