David Beckham Attends Adidas Promotion In South Korea

It looks like not only Motorola captalising on David Beckham being in South Korea, Adidas are too.

David attended an Adidas promotional event to no doubt get young kids spending their pocket money on the famous sportswear.

Adidas, who reportedly signed a lifetime deal with Beckham in 2003 worth £100 million, are hosted this event where Beckham got to meet his Korean fans in Cheonggye Square in central Seoul.

Behind David is a wall which has over 2,000 photos of him making up an overall image of him from his "Impossible is Nothing" advertising campaign with the sportswear giants.

The friendly against FC Seoul takes place tomorrow.

Not quite in the same league as Manchester United vs. Arsenal, but he is proud enough to play for the Galaxy anyway.

David Beckham Blogs From South Korea

Hello everybody,

We finished third in the Pan-Pacific Championships in Hawaii. We were a bit rusty in the game against Gamba Osaka, as it was our first game together since November, and they beat us 1-0, but I felt we played some good football overall and our 2-1 win against Sydney FC was well deserved. I managed to assist in both goals, which was great for me personally and we’ll look to push on from there in our next few friendlies.

We’ve just arrived in Seoul and received an amazing reception from the Korean people when we landed which was great. We’ll be training twice a day in the run up to the game against FC Seoul on Friday as we want to get our fitness just right, but I’m hoping to get out and see the sights when we do get a break from training.
Anyway, that’s all for now.

Speak to you soon.

David Beckham's Press Conference In Seoul

David Beckham acknowledged he isn't in good enough shape to make his 100th international appearance for England.

"I would love to reach the hundred caps, but I have to be physically ready to be part of the team," Beckham told a packed news conference in Seoul on Wednesday.

Beckham arrived Tuesday with the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Galaxy begin a three-match Asian tour against FC Seoul on Saturday. They play Shanghai, China, on March 5 and Hong Kong on March 9.

Late last month, Beckham was denied his 100th national team appearance by England's new coach Fabio Capello, who thought the Galaxy midfielder was not in top shape. Beckham had not played a competitive match since November.

"I played under Fabio Capello before, you know," said Beckham,

"He is a great manager and a good person," Beckham said. "He is a manager that I understand well and he is a manager that also I've said before that will pick players if he believes they are fit enough."

"And with me playing no games, you know, it was only right that there are other players that played many games," he said.

Teary Eyed Spice Girls Say Goodbye

The Spice Girls ended their reunion tour amid emotional scenes of hugging and kissing at the band's final show in Toronto last night.

The evening was a tearful farewell with Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Mel C gathering at the end for a group hug and individual embraces throughout the show.

An emotional Geri said: "I've just got to say, as you know, this is the last night of the tour and we never dreamt we'd ever back together and be such a success and who knows if we'll ever get back together again." You can see from the picture below of Geri in her union jack dress that she is crying.

The Spice Girls closed the show with a rousing final performance of "Spice Up Your Life."

And for the last time Emma, Mel B and Victoria brought their children onstage. To the delight of the crowd, Cruz, wearing a "Posh" T-shirt and red baseball cap, showed-off his breakdance moves.

Someone needs to give Cruz his own show because he was break dancing again last night.

Victoria Beckham Meets Her Fans At Holt Renfrew

This afternoon, prior to what might be the Spice Girls last concert ever, Victoria Beckham, met her fans as she promoted her dVb denim and eyewear collection at Holt Renfrew.

Victoria is now concentrating on her fashion career, but what about the others?

Well it has been reported that other members of the group also have commitments to advance their solo careers.

Chisholm will visit MuchMusic to promote the video for her new single, Carolyna, from her solo album, This Time, due to be released in April.

Brown maybe a Dancing With the Stars correspondent for Access Hollywood, (correspondent with that annoying voice? urgh) and is working on a a solo album.

Halliwell's children's book series featuring the strong female character Ugenia Lavender is to be launched in May.

No news on Emma Bunton, but I guess motherhood is her priority with a new baby.

David Beckham Receives Flowers On His Arrival In South Korea

David Beckham and the LA Galaxy arrived in South Korea today and were greeted with flowers and plenty of fanfare, as the squad readies themselves for a three match Asian tour.

David Beckham made no comment to reporters on arrival at Incheon International Airport outside the South Korean capital, Seoul. He plans to hold a media conference on Wednesday.

The trip to Asia follows a recent stay in Honolulu for the Pan-Pacific Championship exhibition tournament where Becks set up both goals in a 2-1 win on Sunday.

From here, David’s team will play FC Seoul in a friendly match on Saturday before continuing its Asian tour in Shanghai, China, on March 5 and Hong Kong on March 9.

David Beckham To Play Exhibition Game In Hong Kong

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy will play an exhibition match March 9 against Hong Kong Union at Hong Kong Stadium, the Major League Soccer club announced Monday.

The match will be the third game of the Galaxy's exhibition tour of Asia which begins next week.

The Hong Kong game will mark the final game of the tour designed to tap into Beckham's huge popularity in Asia.

The game will follow matchups against FC Seoul in Seoul, South Korea on March 1 and Shanghai-Hong Kong United in Shanghai, China on March 5.

"We are very excited to be able to add this important third match to the Galaxy's Asia Tour 2008," said Galaxy assistant GM Tom Payne said.

Last week, the Galaxy finished third in the inaugural Pan Pacific Championship tournament in Hawaii, losing their opening game 1-0 to Japanese club Gamba Osaka before beating Australia's Sydney FC 2-1 in the third-place game.

The Galaxy were due to leave Hawaii for Seoul on Monday.

Here are some highlights from the Sydney FC game. Beckham's assists are amazing...what a wasted talent in the Galaxy.

David Beckham's Assists Guide LA Galaxy To Victory

David Beckham played a key role as the LA Galaxy secured third place in the Pan-Pacific Championship with a 2-1 win over Sydney FC.

David was reported the Galaxy's best player as they edged out the Australian side in Honolulu to bounce back from Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Gamba Osaka.

Beckham created the first goal after just three minutes, his sweeping cross picking out Ely Allen, who volleyed past Sydney goalkeeper Ivan Necevski.

Brendan Renaud equalised after 42 minutes, but the Galaxy regained the lead a minute before the break when Josh Tudela scored.

"It's always nice to have assists, and tonight I was able to get two," said Beckham.

"It's always good in pre-season to get games in because you get all the training you want."

"To get your match fitness in games is important."

Beckham took a stray boot in the chest 18 minutes into the second half but, after pacing around for a few seconds, decided to stay on, much to the delight of the Hawaii crowd who cheered his every touch.

"It's been a really good stay in Hawaii, it's just great that people enjoy watching me play, and watching the team play," Beckham added.

"That's always important, that the people, kids and everybody that comes to the game has fun and enjoys themselves."

Victoria & David Beckham Are Reportedly Furious With Their E! True Hollywood Story

I am not sure what the content is of Victoria and David Beckham's E THS, but it has been reported by the Daily Star today that they angry about the TV documentary.

It has been reported that they feel "betrayed" by former friends, lovers, business aides and old school chums in the programme and they have fears that this could shatter Brand Beckham in America.

A source close to David and Victoria told the Daily Star Sunday: "They are spitting blood. They feel they’ve been stitched-up – betrayed, even".

"This couldn’t have come at a worse time, with both of them trying to build new careers and reputations in Los Angeles".

"They have come under criticism from some observers in the States recently but public opinion is still good. Depending on the exact content of this documentary, that could change."

Cable network E! Entertainment’s True Hollywood Story: Posh And Becks tells tales never before heard in the USA.

The paper lists embarrassing secrets have hurt they like:

Posh being taunted at a performance arts school for being “too fat and too spotty”. (we know she was taunted, she has said so herself, but I mostly because her dad had a Rolls Royce)

Posh’s ex-love Mark Wood claiming she starved herself.

How the Spice Girls cruelly dumped their manager when they were on the brink of fame. (didn't they dump him after they made it?)

Her "controlling" influence over David which wrecked his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson and ended his Man United career.

And it’s all finished off by their unofficial biographer Andrew Morton slamming them for "engineering publicity" (which celebrity doesn't) which has often rebounded, plunging them into the "dark side of celebrity".

Posh is said to be painfully embarrassed by the documentary dwelling on her husband’s alleged affair with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos in Spain when he played for Real Madrid.

She is certain to cringe over an interview filmed before the Spice Girls recent reunion, in which she admits: "I never actually did that much other than wear the nice clothes and pout, so it wasn’t that demanding being Posh Spice, to be honest."

And the Beckhams’ wedding, at which they wore crowns and received guests while sitting on giant thrones is openly mocked.

The source added: "They are furious over the way it makes them look. She is portrayed as controlling while he will come across to a US audience as being weak."

Early in the documentary, Posh’s old school pal Sarah Collyer recalls how she and other girls laughed when Victoria told them she had answered an ad to audition for a band, adding: "I thought, oh yeah, that’ll last five minutes."

At the Laine Theatre Arts School in Epsom, Surrey, other girls taunted her because she was shy and was driven to school by her relatively well-off parents.

And one teacher would yell at her: "You’re too fat, you’re too spotty, your hair’s a mess and you haven’t got enough make-up on."

Victoria’s first love Mark, who she dumped after becoming a Spice Girl, says: "Victoria didn’t really eat anything other than crisps, carrots and apples and drink loads of water. She just looked so ill to me. She lost so much weight."

It claims Posh exerted a powerful control over Becks, insisting they move into swanky Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire.

He was left with a daily 400-mile round trip to train with United, which strained his "father and son" relationship with manager Sir Alex to breaking point.

The result was the famous dressing room shoe-kicking incident, in which sir Alex cut Beckham above the eye. Shortly afterwards, he was transferred to Real Madrid.

Morton claims the move was a victory for Posh, who "didn’t like Manchester and didn’t like David playing in Manchester".

In Spain, however, Becks found himself involved in a sex scandal involving Rebecca Loos and the documentary shows Goldenballs floundering in archive footage in which he denies having an affair.

The other Spice Girls are also shown dumping their manager Chris Herbert for image guru Simon Fuller. Morton says Herbert and his wife "spent all their energy and effort and got none of the rewards".

True Hollywood Story: Posh And Becks, Sunday March 16 at 8pm, is on E! Entertainment Television (Sky 152/Virgin TV 173).

Has anyone seen it?

I can imagine that this paper is dramatising this story to sell papers.

LA Galaxy Lose To Gamba Osaka

David Beckham's first pre-season game of 2008 ended in disappointment with his LA Galaxy side losing 1-0 to Japan's Gamba Osaka in the first Pan-Pacific Championship semi-final last night.

David played the entire game at Aloha Stadium but was unable to prevent his team losing to their J-League opponents. He was involved in an angry exchange with Brazilian Lucas after a heavy collision in the second half.

Brazilian striker Bare scored the winning goal in the third minute, firing a left-foot shot past goalkeeper Steve Cronin.

"It is always disappointing when you lose the game but when you don't start off properly that happens. For the first 15 minutes we were terrible," Beckham told reporters.

"It is nice to be back on the pitch and we are still trying to get our fitness back."
Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit added: "We thought David might only play 30 minutes because we were concerned about the artificial turf but he felt good out there so we kept him on."

Los Angeles will face Sydney FC in the third-place playoff on Saturday after the Australian side lost 3-0 to Houston Dynamo in the second semi-final.

Donovan did not play last night, so David was carrying his teammates on his own.

Victoria Beckham Takes A Tumble In Philly?

24 hours after Cruz Beckham was wowing the crowds at Madison Square Gardens, it has been reported that his mother took a tumble at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Victoria has been known to carry a child, a large Hermes bag whilst balancing on 5in stilletos walking over cobbled sidewalks, so dancing in heels night after night is a breeze for Mrs Beckham.

She did not fall, in fact she was actually sitting on the edge of the stage, and this picture shows her getting up. Don't believe everything you read on Perez Hilton.

Posh 2.0 was at the show last night and saw the whole thing. She said:

"Victoria was sitting on the edge of the stage during "Mama" and when Victoria went to get up she almost fell! And everyone started cheering for her and then Geri came back to help her. And Victoria had this look on her face like
'Of course I almost fell, why would I not in front of all these people.'
It was very funny."

Glad you had a good time Posh 2.0.

David Beckham Blogs From Hawaii

Hi everyone,

Well, I’ve arrived in Hawaii along with the Galaxy squad and I can already see it’s an amazing place. The beaches are beautiful and everyone is so friendly, so we’re definitely going to enjoy our time here.

We’re here to play in the Pan-Pacific Championships and looking to get our fitness in these games. We’ve had three weeks of pre-season training, so it’s just a case of getting match fit now. I know the team are looking forward to getting on the pitch again, so Wednesday’s game can’t come soon enough. Hopefully, we’ll get the right result and look to get some consistency going into the new season.

We're playing the Japanese side Gamba Osaka in our opening game and I'm sure it'll be a tough match. Whenever I've played against Japanese teams in the past I've always been really impressed by them.

I’d like to welcome Greg Vanney to the squad. He's a great defender and having played for the Galaxy before I'm sure he'll have no trouble adapting.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ll let you know all about how the tournament went next time.

David

David Beckham Could Reach 100 Caps Against USA In England Friendly

England are lining up a prestigious friendly against the United States which will pile more pressure on Fabio Capello to hand David Beckham his 100th cap.

America are now the favourites to face England on May 28 after Scotland pulled out of a showdown at Wembley.

Major League Soccer chiefs would love Becks to collect his century of appearances against the USA.

In theory, Beckham could make it number 100 against France on March 26. But even though he is back in training with LA Galaxy, will not make his competitive return until March 29.

Victoria Beckham's Saks Fifth Avenue Chicago Appearance

Loyal reader Abby attended Victoria Beckham's signing on Friday, here is her fantastic experience with Mrs Beckham.

Victoria was scheduled to be at Saks from 12-1pm. If you purchased a pair of DVB jeans or sunglasses you were moved to the front of the line, that was the only guarantee to see her.

Those 'fans' received a Polaroid picture with Victoria. (lucky them)

I was in line until 1pm then the PR announced Victoria would stay for 30 mins more - thank goodness.

I got in at 1.05pm then Victoria's PR announced she was not taking any more photos nor could the fans take their own : (

But she did sign my U.K version of 'That Extra Half an Inch' and was very polite.

Victoria even laughed when I asked her if she was for "Obama", which she could not answer, said "She was not up American politics yet", then laughed again.

Love, love, love Victoria. Not only for being so kind enough to take an extra 30 mins out of her busy schedule to meet fans, but also for her hilarious personality. Thanks for sharing Abby.

The photo above is of a fan who had a Victoria's autograph tattooed on her back....ouch.

Prior to her in-store signing at Saks Fifth Avenue Chicago Victoria Beckham had an interview with the Chicago Sun Times.

Here it is:

Q. Why did you decide to launch a denim line?
A. I've always collected denim and I could never find a pair of jeans that fit me particularly well. As a woman you want something that fits relatively tight on the leg but big enough on the waist. These are incredibly simple and basic -- you can wear them with flip-flops or heels.

Q. What about sunglasses?
A. I love sunglasses. If you have the right pair of sunglasses, you can make even the simplest outfit look very cool. I wear them all the time. But it's mostly because I'm up all night with my children, and they can hide a multitude of sins.

Q. Do you have any favorite items in the line?
A. I like all the big sunglasses. My favorites at the moment are the red aviators. In the jeans, my favorite is the skinny flare -- it's skinny on the leg and then it juts out into a big flare. For me it's a very progressive style.

Q. What can people expect at the autograph signing?
A. I'm just hoping to meet as many of my fans as I can. I will be there for as long as it takes to sign everything.

Q. What's playing on your iPod?
A. A better question is what's NOT playing on my iPod. Cruz has hid my iPod and I can't find it. But normally Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole and old Madonna from "The Immaculate Collection."

Q. Do you have a favorite TV show?

A. "Project Runway" [Beckham just served as a guest judge for the finale] -- because it shows people how hard you have to work to be a designer. Also: "Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton," a Sundance Channel documentary.

Q. What do you think about Chicago?
A. From what I understand, Chicago is a very fashion-conscious place. I also hear it's very cold.

Q. Have you read anything good lately?
A. I'm not reading anything right now because I'm so busy with the Spice Girls. Normally I'd go see a lot of the shows during Fashion Week, so now I'm on the Internet on style.com a lot checking them out.

Q. How do you compare living in the United States to England?
A. I love America. Myself and David have always said we love how patriotic people are here. It's a great place to bring up children, and I can't see us leaving at any point in the near future. It's our home now.

David Beckham Is Looking Forward To Hawaiian Pre-Season Tour

The L.A. Galaxy are heading off to Hawaii on Monday as part of a three-week, five-game exhibition tour that will see them going to Honululu, Seoul and Shanghai.

They will be taking a fitter, healthier, more motivated David Beckham, who is ready and exicted about his first full Major League Soccer season.

Capello still considers David to be part of his England squad in the near future, so David will be taking full advantage of the game time.

He said in to the LA Times:

"It's always tough when you're in preseason and you're running every morning and every afternoon and there are no games, we're looking forward to going to Hawaii. It's my first time there."

"It's always been great when I've visited different parts of Asia with Real Madrid and Manchester United and also England. Every time I've been there the fans have been exceptional, so I'm looking forward to that as well."

Beckham's goals for the season are clear.

"To stay fit, to play every game possible, and to win the championship," he said. "It's important because last season was very disappointing. It's up to us to put it right, and we can do it because we've got the players."

In 2006 Victoria & David Beckham Renewed Their Marriage Vows In Secret

Here is the story from the Daily Mirror:

David and Victoria Beckham have secretly retaken their marriage vows - and got matching tattoos to celebrate the romantic occasion.

Only a handful of friends and family were invited to watch them remarry in the grounds of Beckingham Palace. One said: "We were in tears. It was beautiful and very non-showbiz." The couple marked the big day by tattooing the ceremony date on their wrists in Roman numerals.

Romantic David Beckham arranged his secret second wedding to Victoria without even telling her - springing the surprise on the big day itself.

He flew her to their sumptuous Beckingham Palace estate then went on one knee to pop the question for a second time.

Stunned Posh gasped: "Yes!" - and the couple were soon retaking their vows attended by sons Brooklyn and Romeo as page boys and watched by a handful of close friends and family.

Victoria was so delighted she later told a friend: "It was the second best day of my life - after our first wedding." The couple marked the occasion by having matching wrist tattoos of Roman numeral VIII.V.MMVI, which stands for 8 March 2006 - the date of the ceremony.

David started masterminding the wedding after the birth of third son Cruz, while he was with Real Madrid.

He organised the ceremony and secretly invited a handful of close friends and family. He even had a beautiful white dress made in Posh's size.

A friend said: "David was meticulously planning the big day for months. It was a huge undertaking to keep it all under wraps."

"He was desperately excited but had had to keep quiet with everyone but his and Victoria's closest family."

"Only a handful of people were at the ceremony and they've managed to keep it under wraps for nearly two years. It was an incredibly beautiful day and everyone lucky enough to be present was in tears when they repeated their vows. It was simple, beautiful and very non-showbiz. It was about them as a couple and a family unit - not glitz and glamour."

On the day itself Becks flew Posh in from Madrid and then popped the question at their sprawling home in Sawbridgeworth, Herts. The friend added: "As she arrived he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him again. They were both in tears and she immediately said Yes."

"Victoria couldn't believe the lengths he had gone to to make it a perfect day - she was truly lost for words."

"He had personally overseen everything, from the flowers to the cake - even a beautiful white dress he knew she had her eye on."

The day after the wedding David had another surprise up his sleeve - a second honeymoon in Paris complete with dinner at Michelin three star restaurant Guy Savoy.

The friend added: "David took her shopping to Azzedine Alaia and Colette, two of her favourite stores, and told her to choose anything she wanted as a wedding gift."

"Their suite was filled with hundreds of roses. It was like a dream come true - the setting could not have been more beautiful."

"Everything was perfect - and Posh's tattoo with the date of the event reminds her of it every day."

Victoria had the commemorative tattoo done in the two weeks after the ceremony. David has a matching one.

She has added the Latin phrase De Integro - meaning "Again from the start" - inked above the date. David has the same words on his body.

The simple second ceremony was a far cry from the couple's lavish £500,000 wedding in 1999.

How incredibly romantic. This is why I love these two.

I am glad we finally have the answer to the tattoo question.

Her little man, Cruz.

Victoria Beckham treated son Cruz to a few sweet treats, while at New Jersey’s Newark Airport.

The stylist twosome were on route to Chicago for last nights gig.

On Wednesday, designer and Project Runway judge Michael Kors took in the Spice show at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., where they had a chance to meet the group backstage. "Of course I am a Spice Girls fan," Kors said. "I love everything that teenage girls love. I am the oldest teenage girl."

The Spice Girls May Do One Last Gig For Nelson Mandela

Despite the Spice Girls saying they will never tour again after their last date on 26th February, the girls could be wooed by Nelson Mandela to performing one last show for his 90th birthday concert.

Organisers of the legendary humanitarian's summer birthday celebration want the girls to headline the event.

And Nelson is hoping they'll oblige, especially as they declined his request to play at his 89th birthday last year due to work commitments and because Emma Bunton was heavily pregnant.

A source tells us: "Nelson is desperate for them to perform one last time - and he's confident it will happen. He first met the Spices in 1997 and called them his 'heroes', so he has deep admiration for them." A-listers are already queueing to be part of the historic event, which is taking place in London's Hyde Park in June.

Queen have already confirmed - with Robbie Williams even rumoured to be planning an appearance alongside the rockers, dressed as Freddie Mercury.

Bono has also agreed to take part and he's desperately trying to rope in former Eurythmics star Annie Lennox and the Rolling Stones. And Rihanna and Jay-Z are expected to take to the stage, too. Supermodel Naomi Campbell, who calls Nelson her adopted "grandad", is helping organise the event. And she's expected to involved her race-ace pal Lewis Hamilton, as well as fellow supermodel Kate Moss.

"This concert is going to be the talk of the decade," adds our insider. "Nelson is a hero and thousands of fans will turn out to support him - as well as the biggest names in showbiz."

I hope they do it, but personally I don't think so.

David Beckham Blogs

Hi,

I’ve been very busy this week training with the Galaxy for our new season. Although it is several weeks away, we have been working extremely hard twice a day with Ruud and the coaching staff to ensure we are fit when we play our first game against Colorado Rapids at the end of March.

For me, this is going to be my first full season with the Galaxy and I am really looking forward to it. We have improved our squad of players this winter so we will also be looking to improve on last season.

Next Monday we leave for Hawaii and the Pan Pacific tournament which everybody is looking forward to. The opening game is against Japanese side, Gamba Osaka, so will definitely be looking to try and build up our match fitness from thereon.

Best wishes,

David

David Beckham Boosts Armani Underwear Sales by 150%

David Beckham's Emporio Armani ads have resulted in a 150% sales increase on Armani underwear in London shops after the first day’s sales, following last week’s launch.

Fans are also flocking to the store to drool over wall-mounted black and white photographs of the David....well who wouldn't.

David Walker Smith, head of menswear at Selfridges, said: "David is still Britain’s number one male icon. The combination of a semi-naked David Beckham and a new style of Emporio Armani underwear is a golden match."

David was spotted taking his children to a Beverly Hills Medical Center yesterday.

Becks wore some plaid long shorts, a pair of flip flops, and a white t-shirt, but not sign of the new tattoo yet. If reports are to believed he is getting the new tattoo done tomorrow.

Spice Girls To Attend Mel B's June Wedding In LA

Last month I informed you that Victoria Beckham might be a bridesmaid at Mel B's unconfirmed wedding.

After reading Grazia magazine today, Mel B confirmed that she is indeed getting married in June, and all the Spice Girls will be there, which will be in contrast to Victoria Beckham's wedding, which Geri did not attend.

She did not confirm whether the Spice Girls will be bridesmaids, but she did confirm that the wedding will take place in LA and not the UK as previously reported.

Victoria Beckham Buys David A Valentine Card

So sweet.

Thanks to Amy for pointing this out, the card says:

"I can't 'bear' to be without you"

So cute, I think I am going to cry.

Apparently Victoria Beckham has started calling her husband 'D Beck', the new 'ghetto-ise' name gifted to him by rapper pal Snoop Dogg.

Posh reportedly loves the name after Snoop thought the name David was a bit boring and wasn't too impressed by becks either.

Now Posh apparently she is calling him 'D Beck' too.

I will stick to Becks or Goldenballs.

Victoria Beckham Gets Her Party On

Victoria Beckham took time out of her busy schedule to let her hair down at The Cuckoo Club within the Maritime hotel. On Sunday nights it's called Hiro, and becomes gay night.


According to Perez Hilton Posh was loving the attention and even spent some time smiling and shaking her bony butt on the dance floor. LOL, he loves her really.

I love it when she lets her hair down.

Are you thinking that her dress looks familiar?


Well it is the same dress Selma Blair wore to the Marc Jacobs Show on Friday.

Victoria fans Angel Beckham took these photos with our girl.


She so stunning once relaxed and when she smiles.

Footage Of Victoria Beckham At Marc Jacobs Fall 2008 Show

Here is some fabulous footage of Victoria Beckham at Marc Jacobs show.

How does she stand all those flash blubs?

In Victoria's Closet - Marc Jacobs

Victoria Beckham is really taking her responisbiltiy as the face of Marc Jacobs seriously. Here she is wearing another outfit from Marc's Spring 2008 collection.

The Daily Mail have not been kind to Victoria. They have claimed that Victoria has a saggy tummy. The woman has had 3 kids for god sake, give her a break, besides it looks very taut to me.


Not sure about this bag though.


You might remember that Victoria has worn this dress already. She wore it in the advertising campaign.

The Beckham Boys Get On Their Bikes

While Victoria was looking fabulous and shopping on the East coast, the Beckham boys (minus Cruz) were hanging out on the West Coast.

David Beckham took his boys biking in in Beverly Hills. They took in some exercise and had some fun pedalling away bare-legged in the LA heat hiding behind their their sunglasses like their famous mother.

David choose style over safety and ditched the helmet in favour of a cap.

Brookyln is the epitome of cool wearing head to to Abercrombie and Fitch.

From her I can not see the "12th" tattoo, but then it could be somewhere we will never see.

Victoria Beckham Passes On Mel C's Solo Gig

Victoria Beckham is stunning here in this woolen winter white belted coat with red aviator sunglasses and matching Hermes Birkin bag.

I love the red glasses, I have to get a pair of those.

She headed off to my favourite department store Bergdorf Goodman (never understood the appeal of Barneys) for some early morning shopping in New York City today.

Victoria Beckham did not attend Mel C's solo concert in New York on Saturday and as a result this has fuelled rumours of a rift between her and the other Spice Girls.

Emma, Geri and Mel B all turned up at the Manhattan Center to support their fellow bandmate.

They whooped, cheered and gave the singer a standing ovation at the end of her set, which was performed to a half-empty auditorium.

Personally I do not see the big deal. A few weeks ago she went to Mel's solo gig in LA, so she has seen the show.

Victoria is also looking after Cruz and maybe just wanted a little 'me' time with the little guy, what is so wrong with that?

Don't they know it is exhausting being fabulous and that she has carried the other 4 for far too long now. Mel C would not even be playing in New York if it was not for the Spice Girls reunion, so she should just be happy with that.

I am on a Victoria Beckham defensive from now on. I am tired of her getting the blame for this tour ending.

The E! True Hollywood Story Posh & Becks

OMG!!!

Victoria and David Beckham will have their own E! True Hollywood Story which means they have finally "arrived" in the US.

Only major stars get this feature, so I bet the Beckhams are very happy.

The show airs on Saturday 16 February at 6pm in the US. Not sure about the rest of the world yet, but check your listings.

E says:

"We cut through the hype to discover what's behind this high-voltage coupling, where Becks and Posh came from, and a close-up look at this most recent British Invasion."

David Beckham Makes A Fan Faint

According to People.com David Beckham attended Jermaine Dupri's pre-Grammy party at Hollywood's Club Central last night.

"Beckham rolled in at about 1 am," said a party-goer. "He looked like he was having a great time hanging with Jermaine and talking to Janet Jackson."

While Beckham played it cool with the party's hosts, it's safe to say he was heating things up among the women at the party. In fact, when one young female fan approached the soccer star and got a quick kiss on the cheek, she literally went weak in the knees – and fainted!

Beckham's reaction: "He looked like it was an ordinary everyday thing," an observer tells People. "He just said 'Get her some water. She'll be ok.'"

Lucky girl. I would have fainted before the kiss.

Victoria & David Beckham Will Spend Their First Valentine's Day Apart

Prior to Victoria Beckham's appearance at Saks Chicago on Friday 15th February for her dVb line, she had an interview with the Chicago Tribune.

Here it is:

"Sexiness comes from within, it's a confidence," she says. "If you feel sexy, you give that off."

The line, produced under her lifestyle brand dVb, includes several styles, such as bootcut and skinny, in a variety of washes and colors; average price, about $285.

What makes them different, Beckham insists, is her intimate understanding of the medium.

Basically, Beckham loves jeans. She wears them to ferry around her kids (who could be heard in the background during a phone interview), attend special events, with flip-flops, with high-heels. And she has designed her own jeans to fit the way she believes jeans should: tight enough around the knees, long enough to hit the floor and loose enough around the waist to prevent the horror that is muffin top.

"There's not a single button or rivet on these jeans that I haven't tested or seen myself," she says.

Even the logos -- a stylized star and her signature -- aren't over-the-top. "I didn't want things to be too over-labeled," she says. "The logo is small, my name is small -- everything is subtle, very clean looking."

This attention to detail is all part of what she hopes will ensure the longevity of her brand in the fickle world of fashion, and likely how she landed spots in exclusive stores like Saks and Henri Bendel.

"I am very proud of myself," she says bluntly. "If three years ago you said to these stores, 'You're going to be selling Posh Spice's jeans,' they would have laughed."

dVb denim makes its Chicago debut at Saks Fifth Avenue's Michigan Avenue store on Friday, alongside the local launch of dVb sunglasses, her ubercool collection that, yes, includes a few oversized styles.

And Beckham, who's performing with the Spice Girls that night at the United Center, intends to be there from noon to 1 p.m. to personally present her designs.

Not appearing at Saks with her: David Beckham. "It'll be the first time we haven't been together on Valentine's Day," she says of her hottie footballer husband, whom she married in 1999. "It will be very sad."

Thanks to Karolinka for the pictures.

Victoria is wearing another Marc Jacobs dress and she has but down her Birkin to carry a bag by Marc Jacobs.

Tattoo #12 For David Beckham?

The News Of The World has reported that David has had another tattoo done.

The tattoo is apparently a present for his wife for Valentine's Day.

The tattoo is apparently on his arm as a tribute to his wife... in the form of a black rose.

It will be tattoo #12.

A NOTW source said: "The rose is another tribute to Victoria. She'll be shocked but pleased when she finds out."

I will not believe this story until I see the photo, as the NOTW tend to make up stories.

The cute pictures are of Victoria Beckham and Cruz out shopping at FAO Schwartz in New York City on Saturday.

From there they went to Dylan’s Candy Bar, where they bought a gumball machine, Gummy Army Men, Gummy Mini Frogs, Mini Gummy Bears, Starburst – and a special treat for Cruz: Ouch Bubble Gum Band-Aids.

"Victoria was laughing at her son's reaction to the candy and store in general," says a rep for the emporium, which is owned by Ralph Lauren's daughter, Dylan Lauren. "A sales associate gave them samples of candy, and she was joking and giggling about his facial expressions."

No doubt Cruz was picking out his birthday presents, as he will be 3 years old on 20th February.

Victoria looks gorgeous wearing a Marc Jacobs navy sweater, Chanel scarf, tweed pencil skirt and red Hermes Birkin bag.

Cruz is so cute in his hat, scarf and tie.

No New Tattoo For Victoria Beckahm

Just to put this to rest, Victoria has not had a new tattoo done.

Here are two photos as proof.

Count the tattoos from the nape of her neck to the last one and you will count 6 in total on both photos.

Sorry Ellen, just because Pink is the new blog says she has, that does not make is gospel, the pictures prove she has not.

Thank you.

Victoria Beckham Would Wear Every Piece Of Her Favourite Project Runway Designer

Victoria Beckham told OK magazine:

"There's so much talent and so much hard work in what we've just seen this morning," she says. "When the designers come out, their families are here. This is what they have worked so hard for, it's just been great."

Victoria has already made up her mind on who's going to take the top prize. "For me, there's one very clear designer that is the winner, in my eye," she says. "There's one designer, that every single piece I saw come down this runway, I would wear myself."

Tune in to Project Runway Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. on Bravo to catch all the action and watch the two part finale beginning 27 February.

Victoria Beckham - The Project Runway Judge

Back in December I told you that there were rumours that Victoria Beckham maybe a judge on Project Runway.

Today in New York Victoria was a guest judge for Project Runway, giving her opinions on the final contestants’ fashion lines being shown during Fashion Week.

Victoria sat front-row, in between the regular judges, supermodel host Heidi Klum and designer Michael Kors taking notes and taking her role as judge very seriously.

I love this burst of colour on Victoria.

And finally, finally after years of wishing she is wearing Versace, but alas it is only the shoes. Her dress is from the Donna Karan Resort 2008 collection.

I love that her outfit makes her to stand out from the crowd of fellow fashionistas, who all opted for demure shades of blacks and greys.

Can't wait to see what she wears later at Marc Jacobs' show.

Victoria Beckham Talks To The Paparazzi

You must check out this video on TMZ.

I am not usually a fan of the moving images, as they can tend to be quite dull, but in this video Victoria is chatting away to the paparazzi, and answering many of his questions, which was very helpful.

She is not pregnant., but thanks the guy for asking.

When asked if she is adopting in Africa she says no then asks if the paparazzi if he knows Larry Sims - he is Victoria and David's hairstylist who is a black guy. I guess Ben Cooke did not make the full-time leap to LA, and that would explain why Victoria's hair has been looking so much better lately.

Although this was a funny off the cuff remark, she needs to be careful in the US. Jokes about people race are not taken too lightly.

Check out Larry Sims myspace & website. He has also worked with the girls on America's Next Top Model and Christina Milian.



P.S. I hate that guy in the stripey top that is everywhere Victoria is. I love how after the 3rd time she refuses to sign his picture.

Victoria Beckham Goes Shopping In New York

Victoria Beckham made the most of her free time on Thursday by doing some shopping in New York City.

The paparazzi caught up with her yesterday on the Upper East Side of Manhattan indulging in a bit of retail therapy and to no doubt let everyone know that she has arrived.

She shopped in Donna Karan and Tom Ford boutiques located on Madison Avenue before heading out to brunch at Brasserie 44.

Looking her best, as always, Victoria was sporting a grey tweed dress with a cream colored cape. Gorgeous.

Later on she joined her Spice Girls 'chums' for their concert at the Nassau Coliseum.

I can't wait for later today, when we get to see her front row at Marc Jacobs show.

Salma Hayek Pays $350,000 For An Hour With David Beckham

It seems that Salma Hayek really really wanted soccer tuition from David Beckham. So much so that she paid a reported $350,000 to kick a ball around with him.

She won this prize at the Malawi and UNICEF charity auction hosted by Madonna last night. Salma outbid a very eager Tom Cruise for this prize.

Seems like a lot of money, but no doubt worth it.

Hi everyone

It was good to see England win last night and put in a positive performance against Switzerland. I am an England fan and I always want my country to win any game.

I am sure you will have read a lot of Mr Capello’s call to leave me out of the squad but in truth I admire him as a manager and respect his decision. In his explanation, he said that it was purely down to match fitness and that it was unfair to the other players, competing week in and week out for their clubs, to include me in the squad.

A lot has been made of my trips to Sierra Leone and Brazil but these were only a total of four days in six weeks. I postponed my holidays to spend five days a week training with Arsenal and I did everything possible make myself available for England. The only thing beyond my control is the opportunity to play matches. I want to thank Arsene Wenger and his team for making me feel incredibly welcome at Arsenal and helping me to get fit for the start of the season.

I am now back in Los Angeles training with LA Galaxy. On Saturday and Sunday every player had to undergo fitness tests, and I feel good for the start of the new season. There is a real sense of excitement here with Ruud at the helm and players like Carlos and Celestine arriving. I will keep you posted on how the pre season goes.

Take care

David

'There's Only One David Beckham'

I did not go to the England game, mostly in protest of David Beckham not being in the squad, but also because it was too darn cold.

I watched some of the game and was not surprised that after 20 minutes fans were singing 'There's only one David Beckham.'

I bet, a no doubt watching David, raised a smile.

England won unfortunately.

Victoria Beckham At Saks For dVb

Victoria Beckham was at Saks for a personal appearance to promote her dVb denim at Saks Fifth Avenue in Boston last Wednesday were she gave an interview.

Victoria Beckham had travel to Boston with her three sons, who spent the day at the Children's Museum while mummy pitched jeans. David was in Brazil. During the interview, her publicist passed along a PDA with a picture of Beckham strolling in a Marc Jacobs T-shirt emblazoned with his wife's image. (I bet that made her smile)

She wore her own black skinny jeans, topped by a Dolce & Gabbana jacket — a present from Domenico and Stefano — and cinched with an Alexander McQueen belt.

During breaks, she stepped out of the sweltering green room and a hair-and-makeup team jogged in like a pit crew to keep her in one piece. Later, Saks customers almost pummeled her and each other in their haste to be photographed with the most famous Spice Girl. She rolled with it all, even when one woman plopped her baby on the table where she signed autographs. The child sat dazed as flashbulbs popped.

Beckham views the Spice reunion as a lucrative last laugh with old mates. She has her heart set on fashion, and has assembled a team that's helping her put together a capsule collection to be shown in New York this fall — not on a runway, but to friends and insiders.

It will include dresses, which she loves, and will avoid too much embellishment.

"I am not in the music industry anymore...I don't think it's a nice industry anymore,'' she said. "So with this tour, I was nervous about what the fashion industry would think. I'm at the bottom of the ladder — but it's what I've always wanted to do."

I can't wait to see the dresses.

Victoria Beckham Blogs On SpiceGirls.com

Hi everyone,

It's been a really busy week. We arrived in Boston last Monday ahead of our show on Wednesday night.

Before the show I did a dVb signing in Saks and it was a huge success. I want to say a big thank you to the hundreds of fans that turned up, it was a great welcome. I'll be doing more signings over the next month so I hope to see some of you there. I'll be at Saks in Chicago on February 15 and then on February 26 I'll be at Holt & Renfrew in Toronto.

From Boston we went to Montreal and then we went to Toronto. The kids were so excited when we landed in Toronto because there was so much snow. They had a snow ball fight the minute their feet touched the ground!!

We really enjoyed our first show in ‘Spice City’ Toronto, it was great to be there and the crowd were so loud. I’m back at the hotel now and we are getting ready to travel to New York for our next show on Wednesday night. We really are having a great time on the road, its fun to be back together with the girls and I'll be really sad when it's over.

Lots of love

Victoria

Spice Girls Fans Hit Back At Cancellation Announcement

The Spice Girls left Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada, yesterday afternoon, no doubt heading to the Long Island in the US for the next stop on their tour.

The all look fairly happy, but will be sad to hear that the backlash of the cancelled tour has already begun.

Australian, South African and Brazilian fans are not impressed and many fans have been bombarding unofficial websites like SpiceGirls.co.uk, as well as the group's official MySpace webpage with messages of abuse.

One fan wrotes: "They have known all along when their kids go to school or whatever. It's a crappy excuse, really it's all just about money... they've made enough now so who cares about anywhere else right?"

Another adds: "I am absolutely disgusted in them. Most of us have been waiting years for this and they have just ruined it all for us. As far as I am concerned, they have just lost another fan. So much for girl power."

The only people I see this backlash hurting are Victoria Beckham with her fashion line especially in Asia and Mel C who is the only credible Spice Girl who will go onto have a career after the tour ends.

On a side note I adore Victoria's coat. I believe it is Dolce & Gabbana.

David Beckham Expected To Be Left Out Of The England Squad

David Beckham and the LA Galaxy began training on Monday as the official opening to the new season.

With regards to England David Beckham says it would have been unfair for him to be called up for England's friendly against Switzerland this week.

The midfielder agreed with England coach Fabio Capello, who said last week that he did not include the former captain in his first squad because he had not played a competitive match since November.

Beckham's last match was for the LA Galaxy in December, but that was a friendly in New Zealand against Wellington Phoenix.

"I half expected it because I know what Fabio Capello is like as a manager," Beckham told Sky Sports TV. "If he thinks you're not fit and ready to play, then you won't be in the team. I totally respect that and totally understand that."

"There are a lot of Premiership players who have played 15 games in the last two months and I haven't played a game since December."

Beckham had been training with Arsenal in the hope of being called up for his 100th international appearance, but has instead returned to the United States for Major League Soccer's pre-season.

Beckham said his recent trips to Africa, for UNICEF, and Brazil, to open to a sports academy bearing his name, had not hurt his selection chances.

"I'd done everything I could to make myself available," Beckham said. "I worked hard for a month with Arsenal. I did go to Sierra Leone and Brazil, but those trips were only four days long and for the rest of the month I was training very hard."

"It's simply down to not playing any games."

With regards to his LA Galaxy aspirations David said, "To win something, that's what we've got to do. We have to get it right from the first game and carry it on all the way through the season."

You can see the video of David's interview with Sky Sports here.

The Beckhams To Adopt A Baby Girl From Africa?

In today's Grazia magazine their headline story is that David and Victoria Beckham are considering adopting a baby girl.

The Beckhams have long spoken of their wish to have a sister for their three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

David spent four days in Sierra Leone in his role as a Goodwill Ambassador for United Nations' children's charity UNICEF two weeks ago.

During his trip, David witnessed a birth and gave immunisation drops to a newborn baby.

Upon his return to David said: "I was close to tears. I had to step back and take a deep breath."

"I'm a very emotional person and I'm even more emotional now I'm a parent."

"But what stopped me crying was knowing that what these kids are going through is far worse than my feelings."

Beckham, according to Grazia, has told friends they are seriously considering adopting following his trip and has sought advice from celebrity pal Tom Cruise, who adopted son Connor and daughter Isabella with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Grazia quoted a friend as saying: "Adoption is something David has been talking about for some time."

"If there is one subject that can move him to tears, it's the thought of being unloved, uncared for and with no hope or future."

"It was only when David started planning his trip to Sierra Leone that they began talking about adoption again. It's clear they both think adoption is great."

"Tom has talked to David about how adoption changed him and how he's been able to change the lives of two amazing children."

Spice Girl Victoria has often spoken of her wish for a girl and admitted she is saving her hundreds of expensive handbags for her future daughter.

She said: "I think of the bags as an investment. Someday, when I'm lucky enough to have a girl, I will pass them along to her."

"It would finish the family off to have a little girl."

The couple originally planned to try for a fourth child last year, but Victoria's Spice Girls reunion and fashion duties meant they were too busy.

A spokeswoman for the Beckhams said: "They both publicly have said that while they admire people who go through the adoption process, their focus is raising their own three boys."

If this story is true I see this as a great idea of David's, but somehow I don't feel this is what Victoria wants. I think she would like to try for her own child before considering adoption.

The problem for Victoria is that she has already had 3 children via cesarean and a 4th procedure would cause damage to her internal organs.

Victoria Beckham Interview At The Roland Mouret Show

When Victoria was asked about being on Mr Blackwell's list she replies that she does not take lists that seriously and that Marc Jacobs made some interesting comments on her behalf.

Here are those comments:

"Mr. Blackwell to me is this fictitious thing," he said. "I know there is a Mr. Blackwell, but it means absolutely nothing to me."

"It's like saying, 'What do you think of Santa Claus' list? I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was a little kid. The idea of best-dressed and worst-dressed is so subjective. To me, the best-dressed people are the ones happiest with the way they look and how much they enjoy getting dressed. I am sure there are people on that list that have appalling taste, but it doesn't matter if it makes them happy."

Victoria Beckham Wore Herve Leger To The Welcome To LA Party

I always thought that the dress Victoria wore to the Welcome to LA Party was Giambattista Valli until surfing the Herve Leger website and seeing Victoria on the celebrities page.

It is not your typical Herve Leger bandage dress, so that is why it was unknown to be Herve Leger until now.

Spice Girls Cancel The Rest Of Their World Tour After Both Mel's Quit

That is the story according to reports today after the girls were presented with a new tour schedule Mel B wasn't having any of it. She misses her husband and children and said she couldn't go on. She's also been flooded with US offers after her success on Dancing With Stars.

Mel C agreed it was time to call it a day. She was the least excited about it. She also feared it might jeopardise her solo career.

I can very much imagine this being true.

Close Up On Victoria Beckham's Bandage

Could she have not waited until the tour was over?

I don't like the size of this at all.

I hope it is a pretty tattoo and not a big lion or something equally crass.

Maybe it is her favourite picture of David in his Armani briefs.

We will wait and see.

Huge Global Demand For Spice Girls Exceeds Original Expectations

Here is an announcement from the Spice Girls management.

When the Spice Girls reunited for the first time as a 5 piece in 9 years last June announcing The Return Of The Spice Girls tour, no-one was quite sure how the world would respond. Certainly no-one could have predicted just how phenomenal the demand was eventually going to be. Within days over 1 million people in the UK alone had registered for tickets as well as 3 million people in the US. The Spice Girls are in huge global demand and since reforming they have received literally thousands of requests and offers to play in almost every country in the world.

When tickets went on sale for the first UK show at The O2 Arena they sold out in a record breaking 38 seconds. It was clear this was going to be no ordinary tour.

Within days the girls extended their 02 run to an incredible 17 shows. If it hadn’t been for other tour commitments they could have continued to add dates. Spice fever was well and truly back.

The Return Of The Spice Girls tour finally kicked off to global critical acclaim in Vancouver on the 2nd of December 2007 and this stage of the tour will finally come to an end on February 26th in Toronto. Within that time the girls will have performed shows in the US, UK and Europe to well over half a million fans. The icons of girl power are still at the top of their game. The girls have been stunning audiences with their high-energy performances and have brought back some much needed fun, excitement and glamour to the music world.

Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria. It was announced in June that, as well as the Europe and the US, the girls planned to visit Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the UK and the US along with the touring logistics for such a massive production it was not possible to fit everything in. As the girls return to normal family life and the kids go back to school they are reviewing all the options, who knows what the future might bring!

So those praying that they visit their country, it is just not going to happen which is a huge shame. If this was "for the fans" as they say they would have made it happen.

David Beckham IS Back In The US: The Official Word Is...

Despite David Beckham being expected to host a charity dinner for cystic fibrosis sufferers at the Dorchester Hotel in London last night, his camp claimed that he was called back for pre-season training by the LA Galaxy once the club knew of his omission from the England team. Makes sense.

David sent his apologies via a video message.

My personal opinion is he was too hurt to go out in such a public arena, every one has a bad day and I guess he just could not face it.

The Galaxy season starts in April, we are in February. I am not sure how the US system works but in the UK pre-season training is usually 8-6 weeks before the season, so he is returning about the right time.

The thing that is annoying me is that people are suggesting that the reason he was left out of the England squad was because of his recent trips to Sierra Leone and Brazil. Commentators are asking why both trips were not put off until after the game on the 6 February.

He tries to help others less fortunate than himself and gets accused of not focusing on football, what a joke.

Poor guy.
