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.

St. David Beckham Visits Shanghai Hospital

Doing his good deed for the day and showing that he really cares for kids, David Beckham paid a visit to leukemia patients at Xinhua Hospital on Tuesday

Causing a stir upon arrival, hundreds of fans, staff, the media and curious bystanders converged upon the hospital, prompting police to close off access to a wing of Xinhua Hospital, with no-one was allowed to enter or leave the wing for several hours.

One woman screamed hysterically as angry police refused to allow her inside, and organisers were forced to cancel a donation ceremony scheduled to take place outside the hospital.

"I want to see a doctor," she said as she tried to fight her way in.

Police struggled to clear people away from the ward's main entrance, holding up Beckham's car for at least 15 minutes.

Passionate fans, I admire, crazed fans I hate. They just ruin all the fun for everyone else.

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.

I was not aware Salma liked playing soccer.

Victoria Beckham Gets Naked For Marc Jacobs

Back in November I reported that Victoria Beckham was going to go naked for Marc Jacobs

After modeling for Marc Jacobs' spring 2008 advertising campaign, Victoria Beckham strips off for the 'Protect The Skin You’re In' t-shirt campaign.

"Since we have moved to California, I have realized how important it is to practice safe sun for myself and to keep the skin of my three boys well protected as well," Victoria said. "Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc and Robert’s initiative."

Victoria's shirts will go on sale this week at Marc Jacobs boutiques for $35.

The initiative was started by Robery Duffy to raise money for The Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University.

Victoria joins the likes of Dita von Teese, Selma Blair, Naomi Campbell, Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Christy Turlington who have also posed nude for the Marc Jacobs t-shirts.

David Beckham Visits Sierra Leone As UNICEF Representative

David Beckham came face-to-face with the grinding poverty of Sierra Leone on Saturday and witnessed the work being done to try and alleviate the misery of a 12-year civil war.

"He arrived yesterday as an ambassador of Unicef to see our work in the field. He visited several child survival programs in the north of the country, around Kabala, near the border with Guinea," said Alison Parker, a spokesman for the UN body.

Beckham, who has been a Unicef ambassador since 2005, is visiting centres which care for malaria sufferers, a disease which kills at least 800,000 children under the age of five each year in sub-Saharan Africa.

I am so touched by David for doing this, he is such a great man. He could easily just send a cheque and not be actively involved, but he wants to be involved.

He is truely a man to be admired.

I ♥ him.

David cheered him up with a a scholarship to his Los Angeles-based soccer academy.

I love the part were the kid says "I was speechless, but I was screaming inside", after he met David.

Kid, even at my age I would be exactly the same.
