Victoria Beckham Tries To Hide From The Paparazzi


Wearing a trucker hat and dark glasses is never going to be able to hide Victoria Beckham from the paparazzi when she has VB embroidered into her head rests, but she still tried.

Brown Thomas To Stock Victoria Beckham Collection

The luxury department store Brown Thomas in Ireland is due to finally stock Victoria Beckham's dress collection.

Tne store will stock Victoria's autumn/winter collection for its flagship Grafton Street store, and is due to hit rails in July.

The Fall 2009 collection is only going to be in 12 stores Worldwide, so this is a massive coup for the Dublin store, and will be good news, due to the fact that they were not selected to receive the Spring 2009 collection.

The Fall collection will start from €950 for the cheapest dress, going up to €5,490 for the more elaborate gowns at Browns Thomas.

Latest Quote From Jordan

"Although Victoria Beckham and I have had our problems, Pete said ‘Hello’ to her at Elton’s bash and they got on great".

"So it’s a possibility that the four of us – me, Pete, David and Victoria – will go out for dinner soon and put the past behind us."


AS IF...this woman is beyond deluded.

She needs someone to shake her back to reality, because this is NEVER going to happen.

Why is she so desperate to be Victoria's friend?

More Victoria Beckham In Grazia

Here is a review of Victoria Beckham's collection by a journalist who was banned from viewing her Spring 2009 collection.

Model Competition Winners Meet Victoria Beckham


Two model competitions winners Yasmeen and Kym not only featured in a NY Profile runway show during New York Fashion Week, but they were also lucky enough to Victoria Beckham.

It great to see Victoria wearing a lighter colour from her collection.

Victoria Beckham Was A No Show At Emporio Armani's Fall 2009 Show


Some of you will not be surprised, but Victoria Beckham was a no show at Giorgio Armani's Emporio Fall 2009 show yesterday.

I know she is the face of the underwear line, but I did expect that she would be making an appearance in the front row.

Today is the presentation of the main Giorgio Armani line and Monday is Dolce & Gabbana's presentation, so there is still time for her to make an appearance, but at this rate, it maybe unlikely.

Victoria Beckham Blanks Jordan At Elton John's Party


As I said at the time, I was very shocked that Elton John invited Jordan aka Katie Price to Academy Award viewing and after party, knowing that her and Victoria Beckham do not get on.

It has been reported that - not surprisingly - Victoria was not happy about the glamour model's presence at the bash.

Katie, however, appeared to want to make amends but her attempt to strike up a conversation with Victoria was rebuffed with Victoria apparently blanked her in front of Sharon Stone, Eva Longoria, Gordon Ramsay and Kate Beckinsale – ouch!

"I saw Victoria and tried to approach her to say "Hello". But she blatantly refused to make eye contact with me. It was so rude," Katie said.

"Instead she muttered something under her breath. She was definitely slagging me off and couldn't get away fast enough. I was pretty p***ed off, but now I couldn't care less. I won't look her way again."

I find this story hilarious. Seriously, what was Jordan expecting?

After all the times Jordan slagged off Victoria, did she really think Victoria would want to kiss and make-up?

She is beyond deluded, and I am happy Victoria blanked her. She does not deserve Victoria's time.

For those who don't know the pair fell out in 2000 after Victoria worked with Dane Bowers on their hit single Out Of Your Mind.

Jordan was dating him at the time and accused Victoria of ruining their relationship. Victoria retaliated by calling the glamour girl “vile”.

UPDATE:

Here is the rest of the story - thanks Stephanie.

Refusing to be drawn into their spat, Peter Andre -Jordan's husband - went and hugged Posh – to wife Katie’s displeasure.

Pete told us: "I wrapped Victoria up in a big hug. She was absolutely fine, a total sweetheart. I think she’s great so I went to apologise."

We don’t want to take sides either, Pete. Later we caught up with Victoria, 34, at the fundraiser for Elton’s Aids Foundation, of which she’s a patron. Stunning in one of her own creations, she told Clemmie: "It’s great to see you, you should come out more often. It’s a fabulous party."

AC Milan Crash Out Of The UEFA Cup


AC Milan were dumped out of the UEFA Cup after throwing away a two-goal lead in their last-32 second-leg clash with Werder Bremen.

Having drawn the first leg 1-1 in Germany, there was some pressure on AC Milan going into the return match.

First-half goals from Andrea Pirlo and Alexandre Pato seemed to set Milan on a smooth path into the next round only for Claudio Pizarro's brace to put Bremen through on away goals.

After the match David was asked about his transfer situation. He said, "Of course (it is frustrating). There's a lot going on and a lot being said and every day someone is asking me questions about what's happening."

"It needn't be said every day, but so far I am trying to concentrate on the football. At the moment we'll have to see what happens. At the moment it is being discussed and negotiated."


Beckham said dropping out of the UEFA Cup didn't affect his desire to stay with Milan.

"It doesn't change me wanting to play at this club and hopefully it doesn't change other people's views of me wanting to stay at this club."

David Beckham For Adidas


Here is a video I linked to a few weeks ago on the Sun website, in which David talks about his favourite goals.


You may have seen the Adidas ads on TV recently, but this is the full length version.

The soundtrack is by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons’ “Beggin’” re-edited by Pilooski (a French producer)

David Beckham Moves Into George Clooney's Lake Como Pad


It has been reported today that since David has been based in Milan, he’s been house-sitting for George Clooney who’s away filming.

The pair became friends last year after being introduced by Giorgio Armani at the Met Ball in New York and, since then.

George - who has been in the States filming an episode of ER - offered David his home after meeting the Beckhams last year.

David has previously spoken of his admiration for George, admitting the 47-year-old star’s handsome looks helped him come to terms with his own greying hair.

He said: "I've noticed a bit of grey, but as long as it's George Clooney grey I don't mind."

So cute, I love that they are friends.

Thanks to Kelly & Kat for the heads up.

UPDATE: George Clooney’s rep has dismissed reports that claim the actor will rent his Italian villa to David Beckham, calling the rumors "100 per cent not true."

"One hundred percent not true,"
Clooney’s rep told E! News. "George is filming in America at this time. He is not renting the house to anyone, and that would include David."

What a huge shame :(

VIDEO: David Beckham Shoots Hoops With Kevin Garnett


Here is a video of David Beckham playing what starts out as basketball, but then turns into a Baseketball-style hyrbid of football and basketball.

This video was shot before the Adidas Originals House Party commercial taping kicked off. David and KG challenged each other to a little one-on-one competition in the backyard.

You have so watch it to the end as David does something very special, as you can only imagine David can.

David & Victoria Beckham Are Planning A HUGE Anniversay Party


David and Victoria Beckham are planning a huge party in celebration of their 10th wedding anniversary this summer on 4th July 2009.

It has been reported that they are considering a reconstructing their 1999 marriage ceremony at their Los Angeles home or another location depending on where they will be, because the European leagues will be on summer break during July.

"It will be a no-expense spared extravaganza, made all the more special after their enforced separation. David says it will be like another wedding and he’s even talking about using the thrones again."

This maybe a tabloid rumour, but it sure does sound like a cute idea.

LA Galaxy Await A Decison On Beckham Before Setting Ticket Prices

LA Galaxy's opponents are putting the prices for their visit on hold until it's known that David Beckham will definitely return to the United States for the 2009 season after his loan with AC Milan.

Tim Leiweke, president of AEG and Galaxy owner said: "We have every team in the league sitting there waiting for some clarification on whether David is going to be with the Galaxy or not."

According to ESPN, MLS television ratings were 67 per cent higher for games featuring Beckham in 2007 and 22 per cent higher in 2008 than for non-Beckham matches.

ESPN have put their 2009 MLS advertising campaign on hold until they know whether Beckham will return next month.

Beckham's presence has virtually guaranteed a best-of-season attendances for opponents with a record 66,237 at Giants Stadium for his 2007 appearance.

The Galaxy's average away attendance last year was almost 10,000 per game higher than any other MLS team.

For me this is a clear indication that this whole saga is more about money than the player himself, which I think is quite sad for David, and maybe one of the reasons he wants to leave.

Madonna's Stylist Talks About Victoria Beckham's Dress


The black zippered dress is so prominent in the story. What made you choose it and what did its designer (Victoria Beckham) have to do with it, if anything?

I initially chose this dress for the classic 50s-60s slim silhouette, which was what I was after for our story. I was also intrigued since it is from Beckham's debut collection -- I liked the "story" of one pop star to another. And I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the dress. The fabrication, details and fit are very well thought out.

The dVb Charity Candle by Victoria & David Beckham


Royal Warrant holder Price’s have collaborated with David and Victoria Beckham to support The David and Victoria Beckham Children’s Charity, by creating the much awaited launch of a dual branded dVb scented candle, which is set to launch in March 2009 just ahead of Mothers Day.

The family charity was set up in 2002 to help the thousands of children born each year with disabilities and many more who are the victims of childhood illness, accidents and trauma. Since its launch the charity has helped over 1,000 children by purchasing mobility aids which help enrich their lives and support families.

As a huge fan of candles, Victoria approached Price’s with the concept of the charity candle and through a joint collaboration the dVb candle was developed. The stunning black candle is made of a unique cosmetic grade vegetable wax blended with an exquisite perfume which has captured the head notes of Tuberose at Dawn. Price’s worked with Victoria and a top Parisian perfumer to create the

exclusive perfume which is elegantly presented in a black and silver branded glass jar and packaged in a chic black gloss and silver foil box which is branded dVb inside and externally a personal message from David and Victoria and details of the Charity.

The dVb charity candle exudes elegant chic which coupled with its exquisite perfume will help bring joy and relaxation into your life. The added feel good factor is that by indulging in the dVb scented candle, you will be helping one of thousands of children in need. This surely has to be one of the best gifts to give in 2009.

Prices will donate a minimum of £2 from each candle sale as well as all the profits from the first production run to the charity. The candle is available in-store from March.

You can buy the candles from Selfridges, or online at Prices Candles.

Message From Net-A-Porter.com


Net-A-Porter like Victoria Beckham are very happy with the success of her collection.

Apparently it sold out within minutes.

I would say to those disappointed, to keep checking the website. Not everyone that purchased the dress, will be happy with the fit, so there could be some returns.

Net-A-Porter are already asking us to register our interest for the Fall 2009 collection which is months away.


Still gloating in the success, Net-A-Porter have added this page to their site.

David Beckham Is Not For Sale

Mastercard would say it was priceless, and I agree. :)

David Beckham Visits Man Utd Training Camp At Inter Milan


Tonight, Man United play Inter Milan at the San Siro in the 1st leg of the UEFA Champions League 2nd round.

David Beckham went to go and see Man United's hour-long session and catch up with some of his old team-mates, legend Brian Robson, and his old manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, who he famously fell out with, prior to leaving the club.

Good to see there is no bad blood between them.

David spoke to Manutd.com

How much are you looking forward to Tuesday's game?
I can't wait... I haven't been to many United games since I left so as soon as this match was announced I looked to see if I was still going to be in Milan when it would be played. I'm so excited about it, but it's also a great opportunity to see the likes of Rio, Wazza and, of course, Giggsy and Scholesy who I haven't seen for a while.

What kind of match are you expecting?
It's a match between two of the biggest clubs in the world and two great teams who are both in top form, so it's got the makings of a fantastic game. Both managers are so experienced technically and tactically and I'm sure it'll be a very tight contest.

Is stopping Ibrahimovic and Adriano the key for United?
Inter have got top players throughout their team, but, yes, the two forwards are the players who can cause the most problems. But United have got great defenders and don't forget, Inter will also be worried about the players United have got in attack.

Do you still keep a close eye on how United are doing?
Oh yes, I've been a United fan all my life and always will be. I've still got friends in the team who I played with at Old Trafford and still play with for England. So I always follow how they're doing.

United are well placed in four competitions... how far do you think they can go this season?
I really hope they'll win every one of them. It would be amazing if they could. It was a fantastic achievement when we won the Treble in '99 and for them to be involved in four competitions this season is brilliant - as a player there's nothing better than that. Hopefully they can do it.

Is this as good a squad since the Treble team?
Yes definitely. It's so strong all the way through from the goalkeeper to the strikers. It's an amazing squad of players and I'm sure they'll go on to achieve great things.





Thanks for the heads up Mak.

David Beckham Launches New Adidas Boot


David Beckham launched new soccer boot on Monday in Italy.

He was greeted by a larger than expected crowd of fans, with Becks kindly signing autographs and posing for pictures as he hyped up interest in his newest footwear release.

Meanwhile, David is scheduled to return back home and rejoin the LA Galaxy on March 9th, although AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is still holding out hope that Becks will be able to lengthen his stay with the Italian club.

Galliani told press: "We are working to allow him to stay with us until June 30th, 2010. It’s the player’s will to remain here so he can play in the 2010 World Cup. In the USA, he’s considered a testimonial of their league and of other commercial things: that’s why there is the difference between our offer and the LA Galaxy’s request."

"David is ready to give up to a lot of money. It depends on him and his lawyers to negotiate everything. We will see. He will return to Los Angeles on March 9th, or he will remain until May 31st, or rather he will remain with us until June 2010. I hope for the third hypothesis," Galliani added.

In Victoria's Closet - Victoria Beckham Dress Collection #3

The dress is a modified version from the one that was presented for her collection.

I would have loved to have seen her in the patterned dress.

Victoria Beckham Takes Cruz To His Superhero Birthday Party

Victoria was stylish as ever, wearing a dress we have not yet seen her wear from her Spring 2009 collection.

She wore her dress with a blue hair band and Christian Louboutin heels.

Kate Winslet To Wear Victoria Beckham Collection To The Oscars?


Bookies William Hill are taking 25-1 bets that Kate Winslet will wear a dress from Victoria Beckham's dress collection to the Oscars on Sunday.

Can you imagine how amazing that would be?

I hope she does. One British icon, supporting another.


Either of these 3 dresses would work for me.

AC Milan Will Not Increase Their Bid For David Beckham


AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed that the club have no plans to increase their offer for David Beckham.

Galliani recently claimed that "progress" has been made over agreeing a fee for Beckham, although LA Galaxy chief Tim Leiweke has insisted their bid remains short of the asking price.

And it now appears that talks have reached a deadlock, with Galliani confirming Milan have no intention of upping their bid for David.

Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Milan have offered what we consider right for an eight-month loan, because, as confirmed by Leiweke, on 30th November David can become a free agent."

"I don't want to cause an argument. I thank Galaxy for having allowed us to have Beckham on loan during these recent months."

"We have no intention of upping our offer. I have the experience to know the price of a player. It doesn't make sense to spend more."


I think Milan are playing the right game. LA will not want to see David go as a free agent in November, so in order to get something, they maybe forced to accept Milan's offer.

Saks Dump Victoria Beckham's dVb Jeans

Saks Fifth Avenue have dumped the dVbline from their stores after the jeans failed to sell as well as had hope.

Critics complained the $300 jeans were overpriced given Victoria Beckham's inexperience as a fashion designer and the fact they were manufactured using cheaper denim from China.

A Saks source told the New York Post that executives there were offended when Victoria chose to sell her dress line exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in New York and three Neiman Marcus branches instead of their stores.

A source told the paper: "Saks dropped Victoria Beckham's line. They were offended when she sold her dress line to Bergdorf's and not to Saks, even though Saks launched her denim line in their New York store."

"Bergdorf never carried her jeans, but they got her designer line anyway."

"Nobody wanted to buy $300 jeans from someone who is not a trained designer."

Sounds like sour grapes by Saks.

Thanks to Posh Lover for directing me to a video of Victoria Beckham showing and talking about her collection on NYMag.

I love the names she gives her clothes like the "sucky sucky" dress, which pulls you in and makes you look skinny.

The more I hear Victoria talk about her collection, the more in love I become with her and the collection.

This really is her passion and I am so proud of her.

Victoria Beckham Jets Out Of New York


We only got one glimpse of Victoria Beckham in New York, and now that her successful work is done, she has jetted back home.

At the Armani show she was asked about Marc Jacobs show, and why she did not attend.

"I really love Marc (Jacobs). I think he’s a genius. He’s always been supportive of me and everything that I do. It was a shame I couldn’t be there [for his show]. But I was busy working on my presentations, too."

"You know, I think it’s not really about having celebrities at your show. Marc has support from the most incredible celebrities in the world. I thought he did a great show."

AC Milan Draw Against Werder Bremen


David Beckham came off the bench for the final two minutes of AC Milan's UEFA Cup game with Werder Bremen.

Beckham, who had not been expected to start, came on in place of Ronaldinho. He is not thought to have aggeravated his injury.

When David arrived in Scotland for friendly match, he had a touch of 'man flu'. It is safe to say he is over the man flu, as he was shirtless at the final whistle.

David Beckham Blogs


Hi everyone,

Well, the Milan derby was a great match to be involved in. The atmosphere in the stadium was incredible, one of the best I’ve experienced, but unfortunately the result didn’t go our way. We started quite well, but then found ourselves 2-0 down and although we did get back into the game again in the second-half, we couldn’t turn the match in our favour.

I was really disappointed to come off. I’d had a kick in the calf in the previous match against Reggina and then got another kick on the same calf, which was giving me trouble, so I had to stop playing. These things happen though, and despite the result it was amazing to be involved in my first Milan derby.

We travel to Germany next to play Werder Bremen in the UEFA Cup. I hope to play some part in the game if my injury clears up as it’ll be my first match in Europe for Milan. I’ll let you know how it goes.

That’s all for now.

Take care,

David

Victoria Beckham Talks About Her Collection


Here is a video of Victoria Beckham talking about her collection with the Telegraph journalist Hilary Alexander.

You can tell how passionate Victoria is when she talks about it. So moving.

Thanks for the heads up Janie.

In Victoria's Closet - Armani Dress


If you are looking at the amazing pictures of Victoria Beckham at Armani store opening tonight in New York, and thinking the dress looks familiar, that's because it is.

Victoria wore exactly the same style dress to Armani Menswear show last month.

It has the same one-shouldered detail, and the same stitch detail above the breast, but tonights dress was shorter and shimmered beautifully.

I am not really blogging at 4am. It is 11pm here in New York.

Victoria Beckham At The Armani 5th Avenue Store Opening


Victoria Beckham has been hiding all week.

We didn't even get to see what she wore to the showing of her collection, and I have been biting my tongue about the lack of shopping, dinner paparazzi shots because I KNEW she would wow me tonight.

Victoria walked the red carpet at the Armani 5th Avenue Store Opening looking OUT-FRIGGIN-STANDING.

OMG I just love this girl.

The shimmering dress, the hair, the make-up all PERFECTION.

I can not gush enough about how much I love her here.

This is one of her best looks of all time.

AC Milan Arrive In Germany


Today AC Milan arrived at airport Bremen, in Germany.

AC Milan will face play Werder Bremen in an UEFA Cup match at the Weser stadium tomorrow.

Even though David traveled he and Brazilian youngster Pato are unlikely to play according to coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Beckham picked up a hamstring injury in AC Milan's 2-1 defeat by city rivals Inter Milan in Sunday's match while Pato, who scored in the Milan derby, also has a muscle problem.

"It is still not certain whether Beckham or Pato will be able to play,"
said Ancelotti.

What The Press Are Saying About Victoria Beckham's Second Collection


The UK press seem to be slight miffed that Victoria Beckham has shown her second collection in New York. I would say to the UK press, if you showed her any kind of love or respect in the first place, maybe she would not feel the need to show her collection stateside.

The price points for this collection are quite high. They start from £850 up to a high of £4,600 and £4,900 for the more elaborate, long, trained gowns.

Production for this collection will be doubled, so the 400 of Spring 2009, will become 800 for Fall 2009.

The Times said "It's a finely-structured and perfectly-tailored collection to within a centimetre of their lives, passed by her gaze."

The Daily Mail says, "Younger, brighter and leggier: Posh unveils 'accomplished' second collection of dresses."

The Sun says. "CLEAVAGE was definitely out, but legs were IN as far as Victoria Beckham's latest dress range was concerned."

The Guardian says, "The popstar turned fashion designer branches out into more adventurous coats and dresses."

Victoria Beckham Fall 2009




Victoria Beckham's Fall 2009 collection has been revealed on WWD.com.

As I have a subscription to the online fashion magazine site, I am able to bring you the pictures and the interview.

View the collection above and let me know your favourites. Mine are 5, 9, 11, 17, 18, 22.

This is a nice collection, but comparing the two, I much preferred the first one. That was more classic Victoria.

I love the use of more colours in this collection though.

Update: Style.com has posted the whole collection with one more than WWD.com, this new one is 24.

Here is her cute interview:

"Madonna — you can’t do better than that!" Victoria Beckham joked when asked to identify her emerging customer base. (An early group of her spring dresses hit Bergdorf Goodman and Selfridges weeks ago.) She was referring to the current W photo shoot in which Madonna makes steamy stuff of one look.

In fact, Beckham has a broader base in mind. Though too early to tell a mere two collections into her second career, judging from the controlled lineup she showed on Sunday, it seems that she may indeed be no lightweight. (Figuratively, that is. Formerly Posh is still a slip of a girl.) Beckham’s focus remains on curvy, sensual dresses that won’t date easily. Such was her launch raison d’être, which now, one very bizarre season later, seems ever so savvy. For fall, she added shorter, more relaxed looks and conversely, more demonstrative flourishes such as a glam fold to the bodice of a cocktail dress inspired by her wedding gown. There were also “capes,” actually swing-back affairs with zip-up sleeves, and sultry evening gowns — some with long sleeves! — with a Forties siren feel. As for helping a gal suck it all in, Beckham removed the inner “obi” construction featured in numerous spring designs, in favor of offering a single, separate corset, retailing for $590. "That helps keep the price of the dresses down," she said. Might it also signal an innerwear collection in the near feature? "Why," Beckham mused, "that’s a very good idea."

AC Milan Lose To Inter Milan As David Beckham Is Injured


David Beckham hobbled off as AC Milan lost 2-1 to rivals Inter at the San Siro to lose ground in the Serie A title race.

David was holding his hamstring as he left the pitch early in the second half.

If the injury is more than a slight strain, that could mean Beckham faces a spell on the sidelines.

I can't find any news on David's move situation, so I guess the so called announcement before the game never happened.

No Celebrities At Marc Jacobs' Fashion Show


I was fully aware that Marc Jacobs has scaled back his New York show when I tried to get tickets, but it has now come to light that this also means cutting back on celebrities.

It has reported that there will be NO celebrities at his show on Monday, so it looks like we'll not get to see Victoria posing so gracefully at his show.

Sorry to be the bring you this bad news.

Beckham Boys Travel To Milan


The Beckham boys have been reunited in Milan.

As mummy is busy in New York, the boys have flown in to be with dad ahead of his important derby game against Inter Milan this evening.

I am not sure if this has any significance on David's move, but I'm glad they get some quality time with their dad.

Victoria Beckham Presents Her Collection Today At 9am


Victoria Beckham has an early start today, as she will be presenting her dress collection at 9am Sunday morning.

Hopefully the pictures from the collection will be uploaded somewhere soon after, which I will bring you as soon as I find them.

Style.com usually takes a day to unload pictures, so we might have to wait until Monday to see the collection.

The AC Milan, LA Galaxy, David Beckham Saga Continues


As a lot of you have been commenting, the deal with AC Milan and David Beckham is not completely said and done, despite what the owner of Galaxy says.

Since David has been so public with his desire to stay in Milan, it would be very difficult for David to return with much creditability for the LA Galaxy cause, and the owner - Tim Leiweke - knows it.

It's only now that the uncharacteristic public desire to stay a AC Milan by David Beckham, becomes understandable, as it does not appear he is dealing with a reasonable person.

Like many of you have said, this seems to be a tactic by the Galaxy, to get more money from AC Milan.

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani is not fazed by all the hype coming from the Galaxy regarding David. He said:

"They do things with great generosity in America."

"Let me remind everyone that Beckham is still here at Milan, and we will see what happens in around a month's time.

"The Americans? I don't think there are using tactics. Lets think about the derby first tomorrow and then we will see."


Sky Sport Italia report that a deal for Beckham has already been reached and that it will be officially announced before the showdown match with Inter on Sunday night.

I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow.

Victoria Beckham Arrives In New York


With David's future now decided, Victoria Beckham flew to New York for Fashion Week.

She was sporting a fur shawl on top of a black semi-sheer shirt with black leather gloves, black leather trousers, black heels, and a black Chanel handbag.

Apart from showing her collection tomorrow, attending Marc Jacobs show on Monday, and the Giorgio Armani store opening on Tuesday, I wonder what other plans she has.

David Beckham Will Return To LA Galaxy


David Beckham will be back with the Galaxy rather than staying with AC Milan, it was reported today.

Tim Leiweke, chief executive of AEG, which owns the Galaxy, said that AC Milan failed to meet Major League Soccer's deadline Friday for making a better offer to keep David.

Leiweke said that "no later offers would be considered and David will be back on the March 9 and we don't want to entertain any more conversations now. It is a distraction to [Galaxy Coach] Bruce Arena, the team and the fans and we move on. That's the last we're going to talk about this".

I think this is really sad. David has made it quite clear he wants to stay, and he will return to Galaxy without his heart being in the game. I honestly believe that the only thing that will keep him going now, is the 2010 World Cup.

Giorgio Armani New York Store Opening


I am just looking for some information on parties I want to crash here in New York, and I found out that Giorgio Armani will be having a store opening preview and reception on Tuesday 17 February.

If VB does make it to New York, I am sure she will attend this event, as she is the body of the brand.

Victoria Beckham Too Busy For "American Idol"


Victoria Beckham was apparently considered to be a judge on hit US TV show American Idol, but was "too busy" for the role.

Although she had been rumoured to be taking over from Dannii Minogue as a judge on The X Factor, her manager Simon Fuller suggested that was not the case.

"We didn't really think about her for the UK," he said.

"It was more for here [America]. We toyed with the idea but she is just so busy with her fashion."

Still No Decision On Deadline Day For David Beckham's Future


There has been no confirmation on the status of David Beckham's future.

The MLS gave AC Milan a Friday deadline and now that time, in Europe a least has passed.

Maybe we will hear something tomorrow, or next week.

Have Victoria Beckham's New York Fashion Week Plans Been Cancelled?


At the moment there seems to be conflicting stories as to whether Victoria Beckham is going to New York.

Although she is scheduled to show her collection on Sunday at 1pm in New York. Recent stories have surfaced that she now wishes to stay in Milan with David.

I guess - like always - we will have to wait to see if it is true.

Victoria Beckham: Jean Genius

Before I jump on the plane I found this interview online were Victoria Beckham spoke to MY-WARDROBE.COM.

Designer WAG, celebrity mother and modern fashion icon; Victoria Beckham has many guises. These days, reflecting on the success of her dVb denim line, the one she wears most often in the media is designer. "I built the dVb brand from scratch which is a dream come true," Victoria told MY-WARDROBE.COM. "I am blessed to be able to do what I love and express myself creatively."

Speaking to the site, where she will stock her spring/summer 2009 collection, she reflected on the success of the range - insisting that her jeans are not just for the fashion pack and that she can dress, "any woman who loves style, wants to look good and appreciates quality." She lists Azzedine Alaia, Alexander McQueen, Alber Elbaz and Nicholas Ghesquiere as her design influences - noting that Marc Jacobs has been a particular inspiration to her.

"Marc is such an important designer in our time and his knowledge of art and pop culture is utterly inspiring," she enthuses. "I'm lucky enough to be able to call him a good friend and I continue to learn so much from him."

Alongside the strength of her denim offering, the success of her eyewear has also silenced many industry critics. Victoria is quick to credit the inspirations for her winning shapes: "My key styles are my large acetates, and Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis have strongly influenced these pieces," she observes. "My large metal aviators are a modern day version on the iconic shape that we all know and love."

Whether jeans or accessories, however, Victoria maintains the key to looking good lies with the individual, "My best piece of advice is that women should always take into account their shape and personality - and cater for that rather than blindly following trends."

Blogging from New York

Hello,

I leave London for New York Fashion Week tomorrow, and just wanted to let you know that I will not neglect this blog during that time as I have my laptop, but please bear with me if the news is not as fast as usual.

Like I said, I hope that I get to meet, or at least see Victoria in New York.

Victoria Beckham Arrives In Milan


Victoria Beckham was spotted catching a plane at London’s Heathrow International Airport headed to Milan.

Why was she headed to Milan you ask, when David played in Spain tonight?

My guess is that she is house hunting, prior to heading to New York Fashion Week which officially starts tomorrow.

Victoria looks chic wearing a top-to-toe black ensemble, which included high-waisted pants and a chic cropped jacket.

David Beckham Gets His 108 Cap For England


David Beckham's England career has been nothing if not eventful.

The 33-year-old midfielder, recalled to the squad after impressing Fabio Capello with his recent displays for AC Milan, equalled Bobby Moore's outfield record of 108 caps when he came on as a second-half substitute in a 2-0 defeat by Spain tonight.

He certainly did enough to suggest his hope of playing on for his country up to and including next year's World Cup in South Africa could be realised.

If he does, Beckham might yet eclipse former goalkeeper Peter Shilton as England's most capped player of all time -- a landmark that would require another 18 appearances.

By the time the action kicks off in South Africa, Beckham will have turned 35 and have been representing his country for almost 14 years, having made his debut at 21-year-old against Moldova on September 1, 1996.

The only downside was David getting booked during the game.

MLS Give AC Milan A Friday Beckham Deadline


Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber has set a deadline of Friday for AC Milan to agree a deal to sign David Beckham from LA Galaxy.

"If David believes he wants to continue his career in Milan and Milan want to purchase him, we're interested in accommodating that request," he said.

"It continues to go round in circles and needs to be concluded by Friday."

According to the Independent, Beckham may have to fund part of the financial settlement himself, but would be rewarded with a lucrative 18-month contract.

Milan are even reported to have agreed personal terms, and awarded him image rights.

What Milan need now is for Beckham to persuade Galaxy to bring forward the break clause in his current five-year contract, which activates in October, so he can sign a permanent deal at the San Siro now.

Another stumbling block might be the transfer fee. Galaxy have reportedly demanded £15 million, but Milan are unwilling to pay more than £5m for a 33-year-old who could become a free agent in the autumn anyway.

The saga continues.

"Bobby Moore Would Want David Beckham To Beat His Record", Says His Widow

David Beckham is due to equal the World Cup-winning Sir Bobby Moore's 108-cap record for an outfielder in tonight's friendly in Spain.

Moore’s widow Stephanie recently said "Bobby would be the first to congratulate Beckham, shake his hand and say ‘Well done, son. Now go out and beat the record’".

"I don’t know David Beckham but he seems still to have that schoolboy passion for football, the way Bobby did".

"It is an incredible achievement. There are more England games now but it is more physical and the regimes more demanding, so it is an amazing feat."

Victoria Beckham's Full Vogue Russia Interview

Zig-a-Zig Ha! have managed to get the full English transcript of Victoria Beckham's Vogue interview.

You can read the whole interview by clicking here.

The interview is based on the interviewing meeting Victoria in New York when she presented her dress collection.

Of her collection Victoria said, "One should treat a purchase of the dress that can be worn from year to year as advantageous investment. Women will look sexy and conventional in my dresses. That’s why I have paid so much attention to the details: seams, clasps, corsetted dresses and wide waist bands."

David Beckham Blogs From The England Camp


Hi everyone,

Well, we only managed a draw against Reggina at the weekend. To be honest, it’s a game we should have won really as we were playing at home and Reggina are bottom of Serie A, but credit to them, they played well and deserved the point.

It’s the San Siro derby on Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it. Inter are top at the moment, so we’ll need to be at our best to beat them and take another step closer to the top of Serie A, but I feel we have the quality to do so.

Obviously, I was delighted to get the call to join up with the England team for the friendly against Spain. I feel strong and fit and I believe I’ve played well during my time at Milan, so it’s great to join up with the England lads again.

Spain are the best team in the world at the moment and we know what a tough game it will be. Even if it is a friendly, we’ll still want the right result to keep the team pushing in the right direction under Fabio Capello. If I’m called upon to play I’ll give my all as I usually do. I love playing for England and it’s always a proud moment when I represent my country.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Bye for now,

David

Madonna Wears Victoria Beckham Collection For W Photo Shoot


I have been dying to see Victoria Beckham's dress collection on someone other than Victoria, and I don't think you can get much higher in the celebrity world than Madonna.

Madonna wears Victoria favourite dress, the black strapless dress. The pictures are from W magazine in which Madonna is the cover star.

The dress is the same dress Victoria wore to Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 show.

Thanks to Posh Lover and everyone else who gave me the heads up.



David Beckham Exits Claridges


David Beckham was seen wrapped up warm as he left Claridges after having dinner with his wife this afternoon.

David needs to report for training with the England squad tomorrow, so he no doubt had to be back at the team hotel by a certain time.

David & Victoria Beckham Dine In Claridges


I am not a fan of tagged pictures, but I just had to post these.

Since Victoria Beckham is busily working on her collection for New York Fashion Week, David was the one to travel to London from Milan to meet with her for dinner.

I am very happy to see that they are together - and holding hands - as they no doubt have a lot to talk about regarding David's Milan decision.

You can see more pictures here.

Victoria Beckham Is All White


Despite the press following her every move, Victoria Beckham took some time out to go to dinner with her sister and brother, as they were spotted leaving Claridges hotel last night they headed to Locanda Locatelli.

Maybe Victoria got our - we are over you wearing black all the time memo, because the fashion designer was wearing an all white ensemble.

She wore her two-piece with her favourite vintage Chanel purse and tan heels.

Victoria Beckham Will Head To New York For Fashion Week


Victoria Beckham is headed to New York Fashion Week next week, which I am also going to, and I so hope I bump into her.

As Fashion Week is next week, it explains why Victoria headed to London and not Milan as we expected, because her business is based in London.

I hope the couple will get some face to face time before she flies off to New York, because they have not seen each other since David made his announcement.

Saturday is Valentine's Day, and it will be the second Valentine's Day in a row that the couple have not been together.

On the plus side, I can't wait to see her new collection. There is not runway show scheduled, so I guess she will just introduce her collection to buyers like last season.

In September she debuted the poxie. I wonder what she will do this time.

David Beckham Is Picked For The England Squad

All of David Beckham's hard work has paid off because he made it into the England squad which was announced yesterday.

England will play Spain, in an international friendly game in Seville on February 11.

David's selection means he will have the chance to make history, by equalling Bobby Moore's record of 108 caps as an outfield player.

The full squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Green (West Ham), Hart (Man City), James (Portsmouth)

Defenders: Bridge (Man City), A Cole (Chelsea), R Ferdinand (Man Utd), Jagielka (Everton), G Johnson (Portsmouth), Terry (Chelsea), Upson (West Ham), L Young (Villa)

Midfielders: Beckham (LA Galaxy), Barry (Villa), Carrick (Man Utd), Downing (Middlesbrough), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Villa), Wright-Phillips (Man City), A Young (Villa)

Forwards: Agbonlahor (Villa), C Cole (West Ham), Crouch (Portsmouth), Heskey (Villa).

AC Milan Draw At The San Siro


Milan needed a second half goal from Kaka to salvage a draw against a brave Reggina side.

David Beckham put his heart and soul into the match, and sent a countless number of his signature crosses into the box tonight, but the look very dejected at the end when they only gained a point, on a rain soaked evening.

The draw means that Inter Milan stretched their Serie A lead to eight points.

LA Galaxy REJECT AC Milan Bid For David Beckham

It looks like LA Galaxy are going to play hard ball.

"We just received an offer," said Tim Leiweke, chief executive of Galaxy owners AEG. "It was rejected."

It’s reported the bid was for around £4.3m, whereas the American side want at least £9m, possibly as much as £16m.

"If David ultimately is an asset for this team, we want him back," Leiweke continued in the LA Times.

"If David has a hunger and a desire to come help us make the impact on the pitch that we wanted to make with him but haven't done yet, then he's an important member of this team. Our intention is to bring him back."

"Clearly, if David's in a position where he wants to finish the season in Milan, and Milan in turn compensates the Galaxy so that we can suffer no damages to our fans or to our team, then we'll take a look at it."

"But we have made it very clear to them that we expect David back here [on] March 9. They agree and understand we own the contract. They understand the only way we do this is if, when this is all said and done, the Galaxy benefits."


"If the Galaxy comes out better without David than with David, then we'll take a look at it."

The ball is now back in Milan's court. Vice-president Adriano Galliani will have to dig deep and show Galaxy the green in order to get the ball rolling again, but it will not be easy.

"We understand his [Beckham's] infatuation with playing with one of the world's most popular club teams right now, and we understand his trying to mentally get around the idea of coming back to play with a team that didn't make the play-offs in MLS last year," added Leiweke

"That said, David and us actually are talking. He has never forced our hand on anything. This is not a legal conversation and has never been a legal conversation. He does not have lawyers looking at the contract."

"David has made it very clear that if our decision is to bring him back here, he will return. Period."

"Milan Is More Important Than Money", Says David Beckham


In a new interview with Corriere dello Sport, David Beckham has said "At the moment, Milan is more important than money. I want to think about football before everything else. I said in a clear manner what I think, I want to stay at Milan because I’ve rediscovered myself as a football player."

"The immediate aim is to stay here in Milan and play at the highest level possible," he said. "This would give me the best possibility of securing a place with the England national team."

"Not even I thought the situation could go so well so quickly. In truth I was expecting to do well at Milan, but I was never expecting to enjoy myself this much," Beckham said.

I was very against David going to the Galaxy in the first place. I said this from the very beginning. No disrespect to Galaxy fans, but since his last game at Real Madrid, and excluding the England games, I have hardly seen him play live.

I am happy he now has a chance to come back to Europe, and play at the highest level, but I must say I am very shocked at the amount of interviews he is giving on the subject.

He is being so vocal, which is so uncharacteristic. He must be really desperate to stay in Milan.

Victoria Beckham Lands In London

Victoria Beckham arrived at London's Heathrow airport this afternoon, not Milan as we all first thought.

For those that were asking me about her shoes. From this pictures you can tell that they are Louboutin's.

It looks like she must have on a very short dress under her silver trench. :)

David Beckham Blogs, But Doesn't Mention His Desire To Stay In Milan


Hi everybody,


Well, we had another important result against Lazio on Sunday. It’s always tough to play away matches, so to win the match 3-0 is great for our confidence and it was also good for me personally to get a couple of assists. Of course, with Juve losing and Inter drawing their matches we’re up to second now, so we’ve got to keep it going starting with our next match against Reggina on Sunday.

I’ve just returned from Scotland, where Milan played Rangers in a friendly. It was a really good game and I think 2-2 was a fair result in the end. It was amazing to see 45,000 people turned up on such a cold night for the match, so I hope they were entertained. I played the first half and most of the squad got a chance to get involved in the game at some, so it proved to be a good workout for all of us.
That’s all for now.

Take care,

David

In Victoria's Closet - Dolce & Gabbana Snake Skin Harlequin Bag


Victoria Beckham Dolce & Gabbana snake skin harlequin leather bag is from the Spring 2008 collection.

Back in June last year, Victoria was also seen carrying this bag when she went to a medical center in LA with her boys.

Such a perfect compliment to her look. Love it.

Victoria Beckham Takes A Flight From LAX


Victoria Beckham was seen arriving at LAX airport yesterday.

I love that she is not wearing her usual head to toe black ensemble with YSL heels. Instead she is wearing head to toe silver.

Her satin silver trench is gorgeous, which she wears with silver crocodile shoes, and carries a Dolce & Gabbana snake skin harlequin leather bag.

Destination? Not sure at the moment, but my first bet would be Milan to support her husband after his announcement this week.

VIDEO: David Beckham's Post Match Interview


Here is a video of David Beckham's post match interview.

There is another one HERE in which he talks about having the flu.

Victoria Beckham's Marc Jacobs Coat On Sale



This Marc Jacobs Military style coat has to be one of Victoria Beckham's favourites.

We have seen her wear it a few times, most recently when she was in Milan.

I found it on luisaviaroma.com at an amazing 70% discount, from €2,361 to €708.

Happy Shopping.

"I WANT TO STAY IN MILAN" Says David Beckham

This is not a tabloid story. This has come straight from David Beckham himself.

You can listen to David Beckham's post match interview with the BBC, in which he expresses his desire to stay in Milan, but says the decision is out of his hands.

He said "I have expressed my desire now to stay in Milan and hopefully the clubs can come to some agreement."

"My main objective is to stay at this club. I enjoy playing here and at the highest level and it would give me more of a chance of being on England's team at the World Cup in South Africa next year."

"I have not spoken to the Galaxy, but someone has from my side and it is literally down to them to come to some sort of agreement and hopefully they will."

I looks like David will be saying arrivederci to the MLS.

I know many of you in the US will be disappointed, but at the same time you must see that this is in his best interests.

David has a get-out clause in his LA Galaxy contract which will allow him to leave the MLS for nothing in November. So in order to make some money out of the deal, Galaxy are likely to cash in on Becks now.

David Beckham Plays 45mins In Rangers Friendly


On what looks to have been a bitterly cold night in Glasgow, AC Milan drew 2-2 with Rangers.

The first-half has been a tight affair with it ending 0-0. Milan showed their quality, most notably from Beckham and Ronaldinho.

Senderos and Beckham were subbed for Milan, and replaced by Seedorf and Matteo Darmian.

Rangers scored first after 64mins, Kaka then scored 2 in the 69th and 77th minute, before Rangers leveled in the 82nd minute.

Before the game David accepted a £100,000 donation from Rangers Football Club on behalf of UNICEF.

David Beckham's Lawyers In Talks With LA Galaxy Over Extending His Stay At Milan


According to ACMilan.com Adriano Galliani the Milan manager has confirmed that Beckham's lawyers are talking with the LA Galaxy. This is what he had to say:

"Beckham's lawyers are talking with Los Angeles Galaxy who are the legitimate owners of his contract. If they are available to face a negotiation, we shall be very happy to do so. Right now there is neither optimism nor pessimism. The player is of Galaxy, we hope that they decide to sell him, but if they don't change idea, the player is theirs. We will try to purchase him or obtain him on loan until the end of the season or sign him, otherwise we will all be sorry, starting from me, because Beckham will have to leave. The players can make their choices, but the clubs can say no to their wishes. Los Angeles Galaxy have always been nice to us and behaved in a very good manner. In any case right now there is no negotiation and there is no offer. There are Beckham's lawyers who are talking to Los Angeles. To start and close an eventual negotiation there is still time until March 8."

I knew this was coming. David has been doing so well. I hope this goes the way I hope.

The pictures are of David arriving at Glasgow Airport, ahead of tonight's friendly match against Rangers.

David Beckham Gets An Apology From The Italian Sports Press


Two of Italy's top newspapers have apologised to David Beckham, and admitted they were wrong to criticise Milan's decision to take him on loan.

Top sports commentator Mario Sconcerti issued a front page apology in the Corriere Della Sera after he had originally branded it a ''mistake'' to sign the England midfielder for three months.

But he was forced to eat humble pasta pie after Beckham's arrival sparked an upturn in fortunes at Milan.

The respected Gazzetta dello Sport also issued an apology to Becks, who has been a revelation since arriving at the San Siro where he has scored two goals, and on Sunday provided two key assists to help his side to a 3-0 win at Lazio - a result which propelled them to second in the Serie A table.

Sconcerti wrote: "I have made a mistake - David is working."

"I believe it is right that I acknowledge the contribution David Beckham has made to Milan and that I made some mistakes in his valuation."

"I was in company with others but that is no excuse and it is only right that I put up my hand."

Sconcerti added: "We were all sceptical to begin with but David has won and we apologise. Beckham has been important to Milan."

"It is the ease, I would say the natural way, that Beckham has brought balance to Milan and which has not been seen before and we would thought we would never see."

"He is not mobile but he makes the ball run. He is not a marker but he occupies well space and he is in good shape."

"But above all he understands the game, he knows how to play simple football and it is rare to find a midfielder with such harmony."

"His fitness and his ability to move the game that have given Milan a different step. Now Milan play more, they are still a little slow but they make the ball run and this is ideal for Kaka and Pato."

"All this has led to the exclusion of Ronaldinho but that is another story and maybe here I do not need to apologise."

I love that time after time, after time, both Victoria and David prove people wrong. They always let their work do the talking and don't get involved in petty media battles.

This is why I respect them so much. I also respect the two journalists who were big enough to admit they were wrong. Not many men can do that, especially in public.

Victoria Beckham To Join The X Factor With Cheryl Cole?


Victoria Beckham is apparently being lined up as a judge on The X Factor.

The show's boss Simon Cowell is reportedly in advanced talks with Victoria, and is understood to have made her an offer of more than £1million a series.

Cowell apparently wants to replace current judge Dannii Minogue before the new series starts on ITV in the autumn.

Sorry, but I just don't believe this story for many reasons:

1. Victoria has fought very hard to be taken seriously as a fashion designer, why would she go back a step to judge wannabes singers on this show?

2. She has 3 kids to look after. Will she really want to be traveling from London to Scotland and back again just to be a judge?

3. Her home is in LA. This show would take up at least 4-6 months out of the year. Would she really leave her kids in LA for that long?

4. If David moves to Milan, will she really want to be commuting from London to Milan?

5. She will be on the show with Cheryl Cole. Cheryl has been slagging Victoria off for a while now. I just don't see Victoria lowering herself to even be in the same room as her.

If she does do this I would be really shocked, but for the reasons above, I just don't see it.

Victoria Beckham Talks Comic Relief


I am not sure this video is available outside the UK, but in the first 20 secs Victoria Beckham appears in this BBC video about Comic Relief.

If you then skip to 14.55. You will see Victoria talking about her and David's interview with Ali G.

She explains how embarrised she was when Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G asked them really tricky questions like. When you son grows up does he want to be a footballer like David, or a singer, like Mariah Carey?



If you have not seen the interview view it above. Very funny, but uncomfortable at times.

I love her in this video. The hair and the make-up are gorgeous. I have taken a few screen caps for y'all.

The Worst Photoshopping In History


Like I said in my post below. I don't count the OK! covers and here is why.

Isn't this the WORST case of photoshopping ever known to mankind?

What is that random hand meant to represent? That they were actually together when this photo was 'supposedly' taken?

That picture is obvious from the Fendi party, and they have coloured her dress from red to black.

I don't know how they get away with:

1. making up the story and
2. creating such a bad picture.

As if Victoria talk about her 'feud' with this tacky mag.

This really is shameful.

Victoria Beckham On The Cover Of Vanity Fair Italy


Victoria Beckham continues to impress me with her magazine covers. This is her 3rd one this year after Vogue Russia and Harper's Bazaar US.

You may recognise the picture, and that is because the image is from her Harper's Bazaar shoot.

I will guess that the rest of the editorial will be from the same shoot too.

Hopefully we will get extracts from the magazine soon.

Thanks Posh Lover.

OK here are some extracts from Style.it. I am using google translator, so excuse if some of it does not make sense.

...
Victoria Beckham is somewhat curious. Viewed from the pages of the newspapers, she seems a creature from another planet. Then, to speak to her we understand that she is no alien..
...

Do you like Milan?
"Very much. I know many people, especially in the fashion world ... They have written that I would not set foot there because it is polluted, but I never said nothing of the sort. "

What would like to read about yourself?
"... I would like people to understand the real Victoria."

What would it be?
"A mother who takes care of her children. A wife who is fortunate to have a man alongside her who is her soul mate. A fashion designer who hopes to be appreciated for the quality of her clothes ... "

Are you concerned about aging?
"No. I really enjoy the idea that David and I grow old together ... "

How did you meet?
"At a football match. Stroke of lightning. We are in love more than ever. People do not know how spiritual and intelligent he is... "

Is he Romantic, too?
"The both of us are. Cards, dinners, surprises ... "

At home in the evening, what do you do?
"We very much like to watch TV series. Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy ... "


"Would you like to have more children?"

"'If it happens, I'd love too. You can't choose what you have but after three boys I would love a girl. You know, I love girls...as girlfriends, as interesting interlocutors...".

Your clothes are sold in different parts of the world - not in Italy, but through the website www.net-a-porter.com - ... As the Victoria entrepreneur do you want to do next?
"Always competing, always anxious to outdo myself."

With the Spice Girls, after the reunion of 2007 is it over for ever?
"For me, yes ... But the friendship remains ... "

She also said that there is a 'gay man' inside her who wants to come out. 'Just as I love women, I love gay men. I always say it, inside me there is a gay who wants to come out.'

'With heterosexual men I have nothing in common - excluding my husband, brothers and father you understand."

In the end she (Victoria) leaves walking in her stilettos that make me feel dizzy, wearing a self-designed LBD that clings to her body.

If your translating skills are better than mine, you can read the Vanity Fair interview here.

David Beckham Skips VIP Party To Watch A DVD

David Beckham shunned a celebrity party at a top nightspot recently.

David had been invited by AC Milan team-mate and captain Paolo Maldini to the 23rd anniversary of Hollywood Disco along with numerous high-profile VIP guests.

Among them were a stream of stunning TV starlets and models such as Melissa Satta and Elisabetta Canalis, who have all been linked to footballers in the past.

Beckham asked bodyguards to check out the venue in the centre of Milan while he waited in his suite at the Principe di Savoia hotel for a report, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.

But when they told him the VIP section was packed with women, David Beckham sent his apologies and decided for a quiet night in watching a DVD.

The football star himself admitted in an interview with an Italian newspaper last week that he spent most of his nights staying in at the hotel apart from the odd dinner out with team-mates.

It is a shame he had to do that, but we all know that there are many woman looking to create drama, so this was a wise decision.

In Victoria's Closet - Valextra White Bag


Even with her head-to-toe black ensemble, Victoria Beckham added a white bag to her look.

Her stylish bag is from Valextra.

Valextra
is a Milan-based luxury leather goods company, who make exquisite bags, clutches, luggage and office stationary.

I wonder if it was a gift from the company.

Thanks for the i-D h.yu

David Beckham Is Included In AC Milan's UEFA Cup Squad


David Beckham has been included in AC Milan's UEFA Cup squad even though his current loan from the LA Galaxy ends on March 9, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Sunday.

Milan are desperate to keep David, who set up two goals in Sunday's 3-0 win at Lazio, but Galaxy have said he must return in March.

"We have included him because he is playing well," Ancelotti told Sky.

If Beckham leaves in early March, he would be able to play in the away and home legs only of the last 32 tie against Werder Bremen on February 18 and February 26.

David said, "Of course I've said before I'm happy to be playing here. It's a great club with great players and now we are in a good position. I'm taking each game as it comes and enjoying it."

David Beckham Sets Up Two Goals As AC Milan Beat Lazio


David Beckham created two goals as AC Milan thrashed Lazio 3-0 at Rome's Stadio Olimpico tonight to move into second place in Serie A.

The victory allowed AC Milan to cut Inter Milan's lead at the top to six points.

Look at how happy David looks. I am so pleased that he is doing so well.

He seems to have bonded with with team mates Clarence Seedorf, Kaka and Sendoros. There is a lot of man hugging going on :)



Here is David's post match interview, in which he reveals that he is learning Italian.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Victoria Beckham & The Boys In Century City Mall


Victoria Beckham was spotted today yesterday at Century City Mall with her kids, who looked so cut with matching striped tie tees.

Victoria was dressed in head-to-toe back, but she carried a white bag.

Her dress was her own, and her heels were YSL.

The red dress was so fabulous a few weeks ago. I hope she returns to the more colourful side to her closet soon.

Acccording to Cut & Style magazine, Victoria’s choppy crop is being requested by women everywhere. Victoria, who’s bob was also very popular and frequently requested, is definitely a trendsetter.

Have any of you cut your hair like Victoria, or is anyone considering?
