David Beckham To Build A Training Centre In Brazil

This is so adorable.

David Beckham is wearing his wife's Marc Jacobs charity t-shirt. You can't get much cutier than that.

I also notice that he is sporting new tattoos. Seriously, how many does one person need?

David is currently in Brazil. These photos were taken of him today as he was leaving his hotel in Natal, northeast of Brazil.

Why is he in Brazil?

David will open in Brazil the first "David Beckham World of Sport" a professional sports complex designed and planned with his input.

David said in a press conference in Brazil that he does not intend to teach Brazilians - who have won a record five editions of the World Cup - the sport. He only wants to develop the sport in the South American country.

"I am happy Brazilian children will benefit from access to the top class facilities and coaching at this resort," Beckham said.

The project is to be financed by the Norwegian group Brasil Development. A luxury resort is to be built at the beach Cabo de Sao Roque, in the town of Barra de Maxaraguape, some 50 kilometres from Natal.

It will include Beckham's World of Sport, featuring eight football pitches and a stadium to fit 10,000 spectators. The facilities will include a football academy that local children will be able to attend.

David who already has academies in London and Los Angeles.

Brazilian Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello is also expected to take part in the project in his native country, with the Rubens Barrichello Driving Experience.

It is so great when people give back.

Update: Here is another video of David Beckham showing off his fancy footwork (topless) on a beach in Brazil.

Who Wore Roberto Cavalli Better? Victoria Beckham or Julie Christie

Victoria Beckham wore this sequined Roberto Cavalli black tuxedo jacket with sequins on the lapel to Roberto Cavalli's Fall 2008 Menswear show in Milan two weeks ago.

She wore her jacket with a black shirt unbuttoned to her midriff, black trousers, black pumps and her hair pushed back off her face with a silk scarf.

SAG Award Best Actress winner, Julie Christie wore the same jacket with a white buttoned shirt, tapered black trousers and a pair of black sandals.

Personally I think both women look great, but Victoria looks damn sexy in her ensemble.

The Spice Girls Are Back In The US

Victoria Beckham, her kids and the rest of the Spice Girls departed the UK and arrived in Boston ahead of Wednesday's show.

Victoria has a meet and greet in at Saks Fifth Avenue Boston tomorrow at midday, before heading to Canada for their next show.

All families were present except David, who stays in the UK to fight for his place in next Wednesday's England v Switzerland game.

The team is yet to be announced.

The Spice Girls are still feeling the backlash from fans in Buenos Aires in Argentina, Cape Town, South Africa, Beijing and Shanghai in China, in Hong Kong and in Sydney, Australia, were all told to expect dates and are listed as possible destinations on the band's official website.

But, as of yesterday and several weeks after the start of the tour, none had been scheduled.

The band's spokesman confirmed the group did not currently have any firm plans to visit the remaining cities.

"There are definitely no dates set as such. But this is the way they have been doing the whole tour. I think the dates are planned to happen. There are no dates done yet. But I think they are planned."

We will just have to wait and see.

Fingers crossed.

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.

Victoria Beckham Leaving A Photo Shoot For Her New Jeans Collection

Here we see Victoria Beckham leaving a 9 hour photo shoot for her new jeans collection in Ardwick, Manchester today.

Along with her favourite Gucci bomber jacket, Very Prive Louboutin's, Gucci leather gloves and her Louis Vuitton Lockit, Victoria is wearing a pair of her jeans. Still can't believe journalists say she does not wear them.

I have not see her jeans in black with a white star, so I will assume these are from her new collection.

Can't wait to see the outcome of this shoot.

Victoria Beckham Talks Jeans

Boston.com recently interviewed Victoria Beckham prior to her appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue, Boston on Wednesday.

When I see you in paparazzi pictures, it seems like you're usually wearing Dior or Cavalli instead of jeans, so I'm wondering where the interest in denim comes from?
To be honest with you, I've been photographed in lots in jeans. I love fashion, from jeans to couture to nice day dresses. I couldn't find a good pair of jeans. I was very specific about what I wanted, and I couldn't find it, which is why I decided to go into making jeans.

How involved are you in the design of the denim and the glasses for dVb?
I'm very involved right from the start. There's not a button or a rivet that goes on a pair of jeans that I haven't seen or approved. I test everything on myself. I don't just put my name on things. I pick all the denim myself. For me, that's fun. That's why I'm doing this.

I thought you were doing it because you needed the money. I heard David's soccer contract wasn't very lucrative, and you're not making much from the reunion tour.
(Laughs.) Listen, if that were true, I'd be selling it in a lot more stores. That's been the great thing about the position that I'm in. I haven't had to sell out. For me, it's so exciting. We're in the best stores in the world.

Will you eventually introduce other lines, such as your own ready-to-wear line?
Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'm just putting a team of people together now. So it will be my main project when I finish this tour in a month's time.

On the current tour, all the girls do a solo number, but you stroll the catwalk instead of singing. Was it your decision to emphasize fashion over music?
I've had solo records that have been very successful, but I'm not in the music industry anymore. I'm in the fashion industry. I was very nervous about going back into the Spice Girls, because I didn't want to send out a confused message. The reason I decided to do this tour was to show my kids that mummy was a pop star once. It's the last opportunity that there will be to see the Spice Girls together.

Ever since you and Katie Holmes became friends she has started dressing like more of an adult and less like Joey from the Creek. Is that your influence?
Katie and I have hung out, we've been shopping together, and we've been to fashion shows together. Katie has a fantastic sense of style. I don't think I particularly influenced her.

Is there a particular outfit from your Spice years that you look back on and just kind of cringe?
I like to think it was all good at the time. But I'll look at the makeup and think 'My God, look at all that bloody makeup' or 'Look at that hair.' So I'll cringe a little bit. When I look back on all those pictures, I realize that's what made me who I am now. I'm proud of that.

In response to that stupid first question, she wears her own jeans all the time.

Lazy journalism.

Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Mel B Have Lunch In Manchester

Yesterday Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, and Mel B had lunch at the funky Japanese restaurant Sapporo on Liverpool Road in Manchester.

Mel B was reportedly dressed in that shocking pink suit from her appearance on Good Morning America - with her her red Louboutins.

Stylish Victoria however, decided to change and wore a navy version of the RM by Roland Mouret Moon dress. (I make that 3 now).

Mel B's husband Stephen Belafonte, Victoria sons Romeo and Cruz, and Emma Bunton's beau Jade Jones joined the 3 ladies for lunch.

Where was Geri?


She was on nanny duties.

She took out her baby, Bluebell Madonna and her fellow Spice Girls' kids Brookyln and Phoenix Chi out for a shopping trip with her mum around Hamleys inside House of Fraser on Deansgate, Manchester.

David was out yesterday to - he used his spare time to pop over to his favourite Manchester shop, Richard Crème designer menswear on Bridge Street.

This is what I miss about the Beckham's being in the UK.

Tomorrow night is the last night of the Spice Girls European leg of their world tour. One more month to go before it is all over.

*sheds tear*

Where was Mel C?

Don't have a clue.

The Spice Girls Make £50m From O2 Gigs

The Spice Girls have pocketed £10 million each for their 17-night run at London's O2 Arena, it has been claimed.

The girls played their final gig at the former Millennium Dome on Tuesday night.

An O2 Centre source said the five - Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham - have made £50 million between them.

That eclipses any other star who has performed at the venue.

"Barbra Streisand had high ticket prices but only did three nights while Prince did 21 nights but sold tickets for next to nothing".

"Not many groups can sell out 17 gigs at £75 a ticket, it's quite an achievement," the source told the Evening Standard.

Geri said recently the comeback tour had nothing to do with money.

"The truth of the matter is, to put on this tour has cost £18.6 million," she said.

"We have done this purely to celebrate our fans, the music and ourselves. This is not a money-making expedition. It really isn't. Hopefully we will break even but it has never been about that."

Victoria Beckham Buys Her Husband A New Car

According to The Sun newspaper Victoria Beckham spent £250,000 on a gun-metal grey Rolls-Royce Phantom for David.

Lucky David.


Apparently the registration plate RRR1, stands for Romeo’s Rolls-Royce.

I wonder how Brooklyn and Cruz feel about that. LOL

No doubt it is to thank him for his support during the Spice Girls tour prior to her leaving for the US.

David will be staying in London to fight for his place in next months England squad for the game against Switzerland on 6 February.

This will be his 100 cap, if picked, so it is essential he keeps up his fitness training with Arsenal Football team.

Screen Caps Of The Spice Girls On Good Morning America

As I said in an earlier post, the Spice Girls were on Good Morning America today to promote their tour.

They were broadcast live from Manchester, were they have one more gig after tonight's show before jetting off to the US and Canada to complete their tour. This interview may have been to secure a few ticket sales for those shows yet to sell out.

There are not any video's of the interview You tube yet, but the minute I find one I will post it.

Victoria appears to be taking center stage, which will no doubt annoy Geri Halliwell.

She is wearing a black version of the RM by Roland Mouret Moon dress she wore to David introduction to LA Galaxy and looks sensational, even sitting down.

In my opinion - even with these not so clear pictures - I can tell that the rest of them are so poorly dressed.

Do they not have a stylist on this tour?

Mel B is wearing a pink outfit with red Louboutins. *shudders*

Geri looks about 50 in that dress.

Meh! to the other 2.

Victoria, help your girls out.

David Beckham Blogs About His UNICEF Trip To Sierra Leone

I’ve just returned from visiting Sierra Leone in Africa as part of my role as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

I was honoured to be invited and though I saw many problems and issues to tackle, I was heartened by the incredible and selfless work UNICEF and other agencies are doing on the ground to help. I was also humbled by the people of Sierra Leone who despite the problems they face, keep smiling and are hopeful for the future. They made me feel extremely welcome in their country and I will never forget the experience.

One in four children die in Sierra Leone before they reach the age of five and many of the diseases that children suffer can be prevented. I genuinely hope that by visiting the affected areas and spending time with some of the people there, it will draw the world’s attention towards the problems children face not only in Sierra Leone but similar situations across the world.

If you want to make a donation to the fantastic work that UNICEF does then please click here.

Thank you

Bless him ♥

Eva Longoria Watches the Spice Girls in Manchester

It looks like Eva Longoria could not wait until the Spice Girls returned to the US, so she went to the Manchester show, to see Victoria and the Spice Girls perform at the MEN Arena.

Eva Longoria is in the UK promoting her new movie Over Her Dead Body. I am sure the girls have not been spending much time together lately, with their respective busy schedules, so I bet they had a lot of catching up to do.

Victoria sure had a busy day. She was the Fashionista in Paris at lunchtime to view Roland Mouret's fashion show, then in the evening she was Posh Spice, performing with her girls.

What a great life she leads.

How tall is Eva? Victoria is 5ft 4ins and towering over Eva and they are both wearing heels.

I wonder what Victoria made of Eva's new bangs. Me? I am not crazy about them at all.
