THURMAN SLAMS BECKHAM 'MISTRESS'

Uma Thurman has slammed David Beckham's alleged mistress Rebecca Loos for being a "tramp" -- after the kiss-and-tell beauty turned up at the film's London premiere last night.

Gorgeous Uma -- who split with husband Ethan Hawke in September -- was left unimpressed by brazen Loos, who arrived at the glitzy event with her former girlfriend Emma Basden dressed up like the soccer superstar.

And the 33-year-old superstar was shocked to see Loos courting the media so readily, showing little regard for Beckham's wife Victoria.

She exclaims, "It sounds pretty low. I don't know the facts though -- I wasn't there.

"I'm not sure whether she's trash or a tramp. I'd say tramp, though. She can't get enough PR."

She is a tramp, they both are. Sarah has gone back to London supposed for "rest" she has gone back to see if she can get $1.2 million from News of the World for her story. Rebecca Loos is not better, they are both money hungry skanky sluts IMO.

OK. Brief Run Down:

David Beckham is Captain of the English team, player for Real Madrid, his wife is ex-spice girl Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham. People call them Posh and Becks, they are the UK equivalent of J-Lo and Benifer, but still together and married.

David Beckham was transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid, which meant moving from England to Spain. So they moved. But Posh wanted to continue her singing "career" and stayed mostly in England and toured round USA and Japan and other places, while David stayed in Spain.

Rebecca Loos was appointed by Real Madrid to be David's Personal Assitant while in Spain, mainly because he doesn't speak Spanish. Supposedly, becasue he was so lonely with Posh overseas, he had sex with Rebecca, six times, and over the course of about three weeks as well as them sending each other dirty text messages and letters and rude phoen calls and stuff. This happened about three months ago I think.

She broke her story to New of The World in UK and then this Sarah woman came forward saying she had slept with David too, three times, over six months and she also got rude text messages and rude phone calls and stuff from David.

Rebecca Loos has been on ALL the TV stations and radios and magazines and newspasper, etc and is charging heaps of money for her "tell-all" stories. Posh and Becks deny all the claims, calling them "rubbish" but Rebecca went on TV saying she knew something about an intimate part of his body that only a lover would know.

Turns out, he is shaved EVERWHERE, which we now know thanks to his waxer coming out and telling the world. (TMI)

So now they say that this Sarah is only saying this to cash in and get some of the money flowing Rebecca's way. She has two photos of her and David together and honestly, they look very 13-year old, you know like she has run up to him while he was shoppping or something and snapped them together, they don't look close.

Now it has come out that Rebecca Loos is bisexual, was about to lose her house and go bankrupt, and that Sarah is a prostitute (she worked with Heidi Fleiss's Company) as her momdelling career had failed and her REAL boyfreind had just left her so that is why they're saying that these girls are just money hungry skanks.

I think that's about it ... for now.

Posh 'discovered Becks sex secret'
April 19, 2004

AN Australian model who claims she had a three-year relationship with England football captain David Beckham said todaythat his pop star wife Victoria discovered their secret.

http://news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,3600,337474,00.jpg
Exposed... how the Becks scandal broke in the UK


Malaysian-born Sarah Marbeck, 29, alleges she and the Real Madrid midfielder exchanged hundreds of text messages using the code names Peter Pan and Tinkerbell after they met in July 2001 in Singapore.

"I hadn't heard from him in a while and he contacted me and I said 'why haven't I heard from you?' and he said she'd (Victoria) found some of the messages," Marbeck said in an interview with Australian Nine Network television.

Marbeck was the second woman to sell a story of alleged infidelities by Beckham to the British tabloids after Rebecca Loos, the footballer's former personal assistant.

Beckham has denied all the allegations and he and his wife, formerly known as Posh Spice, have taken legal advice over the reports.

Marbeck, who admitted she had been paid for the television interivew, said she kept three diaries containing text messages including comments like: "Baby I want you so much."

She alleged she first met Beckham in Singapore in 2001 when he invited her back to his room. "My heart was thumping ... he's a great lover," she said. "He's an amazing guy ... not sleazy at all."

Their second meeting came in Leeds, England in March 2002 following a national match against Italy, she claimed.

After she returned to Australia, she said she was thinking: "I don't know what's going on in his marriage but he's calling me, texting me to come to England."

"I was getting text messages from someone who was so powerful, so romantic, someone so great," she added. But then Beckham stopped contacting her, Marbeck said.

Marbeck sobbed when she was asked how Victoria Beckham would have felt on learing of the affair but said she still wanted to know why Beckham had stopped calling her.

However the boss of an escort agency where Marbeck worked said she had confessed that she never slept with Beckham.

David Wade, who runs the Miss Fleiss escort agency in Sydney, said: "She said to me: 'I never had sex with him, I wanted him to think I was a good girl and not like that."'

According to television insiders, the appearance on the ITV network will net Beckham's former personal assistant an estimated $27,000.

She is raking the money in from this whole thing. She got $1 million + from NOTW for the first story and she is getting like $70,000 + for each subsequent "tell-all" interview. Being a whore can really be a money spinner

VICTORIA KNEW OF BECKHAM'S INFIDELITY

Pop star Victoria Beckham knew of her soccer star husband David's infidelity, but is staying with him for the sake of their children, according to a friend.

The source tells British magazine OK! that the former Spice Girl was unsurprised about the claims Beckham had slept with a number of women -- but is determined to maintain their high-profile celebrity marriage.

The insider says, "It's absolutely true and Victoria knew.

"She has to have known, or at least suspected, that he's been playing away from home for some time now, these revelations are just the tip of the iceberg.

"He's been built up as a hero and he's become an icon, the Beckhams are worshipped and the brand is a multi-million pound business.

"There are too many people making too much money from them.

"It's not in anyone's interest to ruin their image -- an affair or two simply isn't reason enough to ruin it all for so many people.

"David says kids should have two parents and that they should stay together for the sake of the family.

"He'd never push to separate because he loves them so much, he really is the most amazing father and despite everything, a fantastic bloke."

Also, Jordan (Grant will know who I am talking about) has said that she was chatted up by Beckham/ kissed him/ slept with him/ had an affair with him. Depending on what day you talk to her, you get a different answer. This news on that section of the drama.

JORDAN says she wants to bury the hatchet with Victoria Beckham and surprisingly NOT in her head.

The former page three girl has apologised to Posh over claims in her new book Being Jordan that David Beckham chatted her up in a nightclub.

And she insists she can forgive Victoria for once branding her vile and chanting Who Let The Dogs Out? when she arrived in the Manchester United players' lounge.

Speaking on the Radio One breakfast show yesterday, Jordan, real name Katie Price, said: 'A lot has happened between us.

'But I'm an adult now, can forgive her. And I'd like to make up with her. She probably needs a shoulder to cry on. I know I've mentioned David in the book but I've told nothing but the truth.'

However, Jordan couldn't resist stoking her on-going spat with page three girl Jodie Marsh.

She is currently stepping out with Jordan's former boyfriend, Scott Sullivan.

Jordan said: 'I wish her so much luck. They suit each other so well.'

VICTORIA SNUBS DAVID'S SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP

Pop star Victoria Beckham has sparked fears her marriage to David is in turmoil by snubbing a high-profile tournament featuring the soccer ace.

The former Posh Spice has reportedly turned down invitations to watch David play for the England soccer team in this summer's Euro 2004 competition, but has agreed to support him should the side reach the final.

Victoria -- whose marriage to David has been the subject of frenzied speculation since details surfaced of the soccer hunk's alleged affair with his former personal assistant Rebecca Loos -- is choosing to focus her attention on her music while her husband competes on the world stage.

A source tells Britain's the Sun tabloid, "Victoria has made it quite clear she isn't coming to Euro 2004 unless England reach the final. Apparently it does not fit in with her timescale as she has a promotional tour to do."

VICTORIA BECKHAM is mixing business with pleasure in LA by having a shopping spree with her manager SIMON FULLER.

Posh looked great in a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and tiny skirt. She and Simon are planning another assault on the charts this time with a track rejected by DANNII MINOGUE.

Dannii reckoned My Love Is For Real wasn’t good enough but top songwriter CATHY DENNIS is re-working it with Posh, who dedicates it to hubby David on the sleeve.

THE sex scandal which threatened to wreck DAVID BECKHAM’S career appears to have had the opposite effect – he is now officially a US icon.

The England and Real Madrid footballer is the first UK sportsman to grace the cover of American style bible Vanity Fair.

His July issue cover shot means Becks is up there with Hollywood heavyweights TOM CRUISE, BRAD PITT and GEORGE CLOONEY.

It is rare even for British actors to make it on to the front of the famous mag’s US edition, although JUDE LAW and CATHERINE ZETA JONES were recent exceptions.

But Becks has gone down a storm in the US where the film, Bend It Like Beckham, was a huge box office hit.

He is also plastered all over billboards across the States promoting Police sunglasses.

A source at the mag said: “You know you’ve cracked America when you get on the cover of Vanity Fair. David Beckham should feel honoured.

“He did a tour of the US and the public loved him.

The photos for Vanity Fair were taken in Madrid a couple of weeks ago.

It’s very sexy and was shot by ANNIE LEIBOWITZ — who is the best in the business.

“The theme of the shoot is to show how David is a true icon.”

Becks’ alleged fling with REBECCA LOOS made all the US papers — but it doesn’t appear to have dampened American appetites.

Sales of Police shades there have gone up 15 per cent since he started promoting them.

Becks and wife VICTORIA are currently looking for a home in central London while he waits to hear if Real Madrid will accept a bid for him from Chelsea.

A source close to David said: “He wants to be near to his family and realises that he may be happier personally in the UK.”

Meanwhile Posh — snapped looking ultra-skinny as she jetted from LA to London — has yet to crack the UK as a solo artist, let alone the US.

Life’s just not fair.

It's always the way though isn't it? Something bad happens to someone and that person's star status rises instead of you thinking it would go down.

Britney's wedding, Janet's wardrobe malfunction, etc, etc. We just eat all this craziness up. It's a bit odd.

HEALTH FEARS FOR BECKHAM RISE AGAIN

Soccer hunk David Beckham's alleged infidelity appears to have had a drastic effect on his wife Victoria's eating habits -- after the singer's gaunt frame has sparked health fears.

The former Spice Girl shocked onlookers during her three-day visit to Los Angeles this week with her incredibly thin arms and legs and bones in her neck and shoulders prominently sticking out.

Victoria has been under a lot of strain since the Real Madrid player's former personal assistant Rebecca Loos claimed she had an affair with the sportsman in April, which was followed by allegations from further women.

As Victoria donned a vest and tight-fitting jeans to a Los Angeles Lakers basketball match Thursday, fellow sports fans were horrified by her gaunt figure.

One onlooker says, "I was shocked to see how thin she was. She has always had a wonderful figure, but she now looks as if she lost too much weight."

However, her spokesman denied the pop star was any thinner than usual, saying, "Victoria has not lost any extra weight recently and she certainly does not have an eating disorder.

"Her body shape is the same as normal, but because the summer is coming she is wearing fewer clothes and people see more of her body."

BECKHAM BECOMES AN AMERICAN IDOL

Soccer star David Beckham has finally achieved stardom in America -- he's to be the first British sportsman to appear on the cover of U.S. mag Vanity Fair.

The Real Madrid player will be snapped by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibowitz for the July cover shoot -- which will place him amongst the likes of superstars Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

But, more importantly, it will increase his profile stateside -- where he already adorns billboards advertising Police sunglasses and a film dedicated to him, "Bend It Like Beckham," has been a box office hit.

Last summer Beckham and his former Spice Girl wife Victoria failed to capture the attention of the American media while Victoria was modeling for Damon Dash's Rocawear fashion line -- but since then the star has wowed Spanish football fans and stunned the world with allegations of infidelity with his former assistant Rebecca Loos.

A source at Vanity Fair says, "You know you've cracked America when you get on the cover of Vanity Fair. David Beckham should feel honored. The theme of the shoot is to show how David is a true icon.

She has NOT always had a good figure, she was always the smallest of the Spice Girls and has always been too thin. Just about every week in the UK they have new "shocking" photos of her being too thin.

She's been looking miserable of late but Victoria Beckham may at last have something to smile about ... pal Damon Dash wants her to star in a comedy.

Their musical endeavours haven't come to much so far but that hasn't put Damon off the idea of working with Posh.

The hip-hop mogul is currently living it up in a hillside villa in Cannes, where he is launching his own career as a movie producer with The Woodman, his sex-offender tale starring Kevin Bacon and Benjamin Bratt.

Speaking to us at the festival - where Posh is due on Friday for a D&G party - he said: "Victoria's a really good friend of mine and she's a great artist and great performer. I want to put her in a film, it would be so good.

"I know that the headlines would say that I'm gonna make her breakdance, or I'm gonna put her in a rap movie or something but I'd like to put her in something funny.

"It would be cool. She's a funny girl and she'd play the perfect smart ass.

"Ha, ha! She'd be a great smart ass and she has a good sense of humour."

Dash, 34, who persuaded Victoria to front his Rocawear clothing range, says he's loving his time on the French Riviera and revels in his reinvention as a movie producer.

"This is all in my quest for worldwide domination," he says. "I'm doing OK with the clothing and I'm doing OK with the music and I think I want to do OK with the movies.

"I just need to surround myself with some real savvy people that I respect.

"I want to let people know that I'm in the movie business."

Is he disappointed his first collaboration with Victoria never reached the shelves?

"I am just the producer. I made the music but I am not her management company. I'd have made sure I put it out because that's what I do."

Meanwhile Victoria will no doubt be acting up to the cameras when she arrives on Friday for the Dolce & Gabbana party.

Posh is a special guest of the Italian duo - but it will be interesting to see what happens when she bumps into Jenny Frost, their real guest of honour.

We revealed last week how former Atomic Kitten Jenny - who has just been signed to Premier Model Management - is the new fashion queen.

And, of course, she once dated Victoria's husband David.

Now there's a party not to miss.

POSH GETS CLOSER TO BECKS

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has found a way to keep husband David close to her at all times -- she's had his shorn hair weaved into her own.

The star, 30, has spent the past few weeks coping with allegations of her Real Madrid soccer star spouse's infidelities, and is determined to show they are inseparable.

So when gorgeous David, 29, decided to cast off his long blonde locks in favor of a shaved head, his doting wife insisted the cuttings were saved for her own use. And now she has had them strategically attached to her own flowing hair.

A source says, "Victoria dreamed up the idea and asked David to keep some of his hair.

"He thought it was a wonderful gesture and hand-picked some strands for her. Victoria told her hairdresser to sew them into her extensions. It is a token of their love.

"There was no way Victoria would let a couple of girls blow her marriage to bits. Their marriage is strong and sewing her hair into his own proves how rock solid it is."

BECKHAM'S EMBRACE KABBALAH

Soccer star David Beckham has been spotted wearing a red Kabbalah bracelet, fueling rumors he and wife Victoria are the latest celebrity converts to the mystical Jewish study.

The England captain, who is one-quarter Jewish, was snapped wearing the string bracelet while playing in a testimonial soccer match in London on Monday -- just days after former Spice Girl Victoria was photographed with an identical accessory after dining with Kabbalah follower Madonna at her Los Angeles home.

Followers of Kabbalah believe the bracelets can help achieve success in love and relationships, particularly pertinent considering recent allegations of the Real Madrid player's infidelity.

However, a spokesperson for the couple insists they haven't converted to Kabbalah, whose followers also include Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, saying, "They have not become followers of Kabbalah. They are wearing the bracelets in the same way someone who is not necessarily a devout Christian might wear a cross around their necks."

What is it with Kabbalah? It's the new "hip" celebrity religion. It used to be Scientology and now it seems to be Kaballah. I thought religion was supposed to be a deeply personal thing that you come into of your own accord because it goes with your beliefs and everything like that.

I did not think religion would ever become a trend.

'I know my David's never cheated on me'

LONDON - Victoria Beckham has broken her silence about her husband's alleged affairs.

In an interview with a Marie Claire magazine, the wife of England captain David declared: 'I know my David's never cheated on me.'

Beckham's former assistant Rebecca Loos and model Sarah Marbeck had claimed that they had passionate affairs with the Real Madrid midfielder while Victoria and their two sons remained in England.

Said Victoria: 'I really do believe deep down that I have the most faithful husband I could hope for.

'I can honestly say I'm really lucky to have him.

'He's done nothing wrong. He's not the sort of man who goes out and gets drunk, has loads of women around him and stays out all night.

'That's not him.'

She branded the women money-grabbing liars, whose names she had not even bothered to remember.

Loos, who became the England skipper's personal assistant when he moved to Real Madrid from Manchester United, claimed they began a passionate three-month affair last September, reported The Sun.

She boasted of marathon sex romps and told how they had exchanged steamy phone-text messages.

Marbeck, later exposed as a £400 (S$1,200) -an-hour prostitute, said she and Beckham had a fling over two years, and he gave her the pet name Tinkerbell.

She told how they made 'fantastic love', cooing: 'He certainly understands a woman's body.'

Victoria said the scandal involving her marriage was trivial compared to the plight of pover'We are working on things together, but our marriage is absolutely not a business arrangement. Could you for all the money in the world? I couldn't.'

Victoria also had a dig at reports that David likes blue movies and said that in reality, he watches lifestyle programmes.

She said: 'We got into bed the other night and he put on the TV, and what's he watching? Ground Force.

'I said to him, 'But I heard you're really into porn!'

'He loves Ground Force and Ready Steady Cook.'

She also spoke about her flagging solo career, saying she is happy to let it take a back seat and that what she really wants is to spend more time with sons Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, one.

VICTORIA BECKHAM is being relaunched in the US – because her manager reckons Brits HATE her.

The former Spice Girl will spearhead a campaign by pop svengali SIMON FULLER to get his record label 19 Recordings up and running in the States.

He reckons she has a good chance of tapping the market on the back of the Beckham brand and her reputation as POSH SPICE.

Her new material, including the single My Love Is For Real, will be released in July under the name Posh Spice Victoria Beckham.

A source at Fuller’s 19 Management told me: “Simon feels it is becoming more and more difficult to make the British music-buying public like Victoria. The reaction here is to hate her and her music.

“But she won’t take that sort of baggage to the US market.

“Simon is making huge inroads into America with US Idol. He has the Midas touch.

“His new label will release material by US Idol contestants and his British stable. Leading the charge is Victoria. Industry insiders see him as a bit of a hot shot there and they will take notice.

"The Americans are becoming increasingly familiar with the Beckhams through David’s international footballing career and they obviously know about Victoria through the SPICE GIRLS.”

It will be Posh’s second trip to the US in less than 12 months to seek success. She went to New York late last year to record a hip-hop album with rap producer DAMON DASH — the results were so dreadful it was canned.

Simon, the Spice Girls and Pop Idol mastermind, is obsessed with carving out a career for Posh. Insiders at his London offices say he plays My Love Is For Real over and over and thinks it is her best material yet.

He will also be launching WILL YOUNG, RACHEL STEVENS and EMMA BUNTON on the American market.

But if I were them, with the possible exception of Will, I wouldn’t be booking my seat at the Grammys just yet.

ANGRY David Beckham yesterday blew a gasket over coverage of his “affairs” with Rebecca Loos and Sarah Marbeck.

Speaking at the England squad’s training camp in Sardinia, Beckham said: “I’ve been called a bad father, I’ve been called a bad husband and my wife has been called a bad mother.

“Things always hurt that are said about my family, and for people to call my wife a bad mother is unbelievable.

“I’m a strong person, I’m a strong family man, I’m a strong husband and a strong father.”

The England captain at first asked for some papers and TV stations to be BANNED from a press conference he was giving ahead of next month’s Euro 2004.

But Beckham finally relented.

He then later told reporters: “The way I and my family have been treated is an absolute disgrace because at the end of the day I’m a nice person and loving husband and father.”

Becks, 29, was linked to personal assistant Rebecca, 26, last month. Then call girl Sarah 29, said they also had a fling.

But PR guru Max Clifford last night criticised Becks for his amazing attack.

He said: “The advice I would have given to David is don’t attack the messenger if you don’t like the message.

“You cannot use the media, and then be petulant and childish when they say something you are not happy with. No one has total control of the media.

“Even if you are David Beckham it doesn’t mean you have got the right to determine everything that goes in.

“It is a bad move for David Beckham to act like this, particularly as England captain.”

The star’s outburst comes days after confirming he WILL be staying at Real Madrid.

Victoria, 30, and sons Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, one, are moving to a new home in the Spanish capital. Brooklyn will also be attending school there.

Becks was adamant he was pleased with his first year in Madrid.

Asked if he is at his best when happy in his life, he replied: “I have enjoyed this season, whatever has gone on and whatever rumours there were about me moving back to England.

Those rumours were never started by me. I was always happy at Real and wanted to stay.

“From the first game onwards I had to prove to people in Spain I could play football as well as sell shirts. I feel I’ve done that.”

And he added: “The things that have always been said about me have never affected my football. That’s the way it will always be.”

The comments follow his outburst in his last game with Real — when he called a referee’s assistant “son of a whore”.

Becks added: “People have said the red mist is back but these things happen. Sometimes you’re just frustrated and tense.

“I didn’t realise what I said was that bad! I’d heard a few of the players say that to the referee just before I did. Maybe it just came across more aggressively.”

------------------------------------------------------
Fashion flops

BECKS also flipped in the fashion stakes yesterday by wearing white socks with flip-flops, writes Sun fashion writer Toni Jones.

Until recently he could do no wrong when it came to style, but he’s really put his foot in it this time.

The flip-flop faux pas is more David Bellamy than David Beckham.

Pull your polyester socks up Becks, and lose the frumpy footwear.

White Socks with thongs!

Now usually Becks wears something (ie: the sarong, toe-nail polish) and it becomes fashionable becase of who he his and all that. I don't think socks and thongs can ever be fashionable though, unless your over 80 years old

I told Posh to stop singing

SIMON COWELL has told VICTORIA BECKHAM to pack in her pop career – with all his usual diplomacy.

Pop Idol’s Mr Nasty was so determined to deliver his brutal verdict he even took the former SPICE GIRL out for lunch in Los Angeles recently to do the deed.

Well, I guess someone had to — let’s face it, it was never going to be hubby DAVID.

I met up with Simon in his new palatial Los Angeles home, where he told me: “I saw Victoria when she was out here a while ago. I told her I thought she should concentrate on what she is good at and quit the pop.

“I doubt whether her music career will ever get off the ground again, unless she finds an absolutely brilliant song.” But savage Simon isn’t writing Mrs Beckham off altogether.

He said: “If you ask me, her best asset is her eye for style.

“Fashion is definitely what she should be concentrating her energies on. I told her my advice would be to launch her own clothing range.”

Simon also believes Victoria has an on-screen future ahead of her and is keen to sign her up for a joint TV project. He said: “I know we would work really well together and she comes across very well on television.

“That’s when you get to see the real Victoria Beckham.”

Posh fans will be pleased to learn she obviously got her own back by having a pop at Simon’s dodgy high-waisted trousers.

He told me: “You can rest assured when I discussed it with her, one of the first things she pointed out was my own lack of fashion sense.

“I guess I can learn a lot from Victoria as well.”

As we chatted, Simon showed me round his lavish Hollywood home.

It’s an incredible place.

He’s got a Bentley parked outside and there were servants on hand to bring us drinks.

It is an impressive reminder of how successful Simon has become since he became a huge star on the US version of Pop Idol, American Idol.

He earns £8million a series. The final of the third is set to attract 45million viewers.

It has made him one of the most famous faces in America but he is not sure if he’ll do any more and has pulled out of another UK Pop Idol.

Simon said: “I worry there isn’t enough fresh talent at the moment for it to work.

“We need to wait for a bit to let a new generation come forward. Where is the new MADONNA, BRITNEY SPEARS, BROS or TAKE THAT going to come from?”

Instead, Simon is looking forward to his new UK project — The X Factor, ITV’s new £10million talent search for wannabes of all ages.

He said: “I think the whole thing will be exhausting.

“There are so many more people involved than in Pop Idol and as judges, we’re really putting ourselves on the line.”

What for? A jolly good slapping perhaps . . . ?

You can watch the final of American Idol on Friday night at 8.30pm on ITV2.

BECKHAM UPSETS FELLOW SOCCER WIVES

Victoria Beckham's aloof demeanor has upset the wives of other English soccer stars during their stay at a training base in Sardinia -- where the singer is staying with husband David as he prepares for the Euro 2004 championships.

The former Spice Girl has angered the players' wives -- who have gone out of their way to befriend her and offer support over David's recent alleged infidelities -- by being "unfriendly."

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mail, "Victoria's behavior is causing problems. All of the wives and girlfriends are nagging their men to ask David why she is being so unfriendly.

"It is the first time she has really spent any time with them, as she often doesn't accompany David to the tournaments for long periods.

"They feel like they have gone out of their way to welcome her to the camp."

The only woman Beckham is reportedly friendly with is Nancy Dell'olio -- girlfriend of British soccer coach Sven Goran Eriksson.

The source adds, "Nancy knows that as the manager's partner she has a special role to be friendly to everyone. As the captain's wife Victoria should be the same."

BECKHAM ANGRY OVER VANITY FAIR SNUB

Victoria Beckham is reportedly furious she has been left off the cover of the prestigious Vanity Fair magazine this July when husband David graces it.

The former Spice Girl was allegedly hoping to appear alongside her Real Madrid soccer star spouse on the style bible's front cover -- and is upset over the decision to include David without her.

A source explains, "David Beckham may not be a household name in the States but he still has plenty of pulling power with the fashion set.

"He was voted one of Vanity Fair's best dressed men in a poll last year. But Victoria doesn't carry the same weight.

"Of course, she's chuffed that David is going to be on the cover but, as far as she's concerned, the Spice Girls were huge in the States so she can't understand why Vanity Fair only wanted him."

POSH'S COVER STORY

She's not front page news for top mag

Poor Victoria Beckham. Her obsession with making "brand Beckham" a worldwide force has once again left her with a huge splattering of egg on her face.

The former Spice Girl is said to be upset after failing to make the front cover of prestigious US magazine Vanity Fair.

Bosses of the celebrity style bible ruled her out of having any role in husband David's appearance on the cover of its July issue. And the singer is said to be far from happy.

The New York-based magazine executives see England captain and Real Madrid midfielder Becks, 29, as a sporting icon.

So, despite his alleged fling with former PA Rebecca Loos, they dispatched veteran photographer Annie Leibovitz - famed for her portraits of some of the biggest showbiz names - to Madrid for the shoot. But sadly for Victoria, her services were not required.

"David Beckham may not be a household name in the States but he still has plenty of pulling power with the fashion set," a magazine source tells us.

"He was voted one of Vanity Fair's best dressed men in a poll last year. But Victoria doesn't carry the same weight."

A joint appearance on the cover would have done wonders for Posh's bid to make the couple household names in America.

But while British-based magazines are falling over themselves to get their hands on the pair, in America it's a different story.

Last year, she and David attended the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles and presented a gong as part of their bid to raise their profile.

But most of their much-hyped appearance ended up on the cutting-room floor rather than on US screens, with an MTV exec saying that they were insufficiently known to warrant anything more than a "fleeting glimpse".

The mum-of-two also spent several weeks in New York with hip-hop mogul Damon Dash, attempting to reinvent herself as a "hip-pop" star. But that, too, failed to reignite her music career... so much so she is now set to release her forthcoming single on the internet.

"Of course, she's chuffed that David is going to be on the cover but, as far as she's concerned, the Spice Girls were huge in the States so she can't understand why Vanity Fair only wanted him," says a source.

"It would have generated the type of publicity over there that money can't buy.

"Unless Victoria quickly manages to do something pretty big, her dreams for this international 'brand Beckham' thing will fade away."

That's shoebiz, Posh

VICTORIA BECKHAM has finally found a job she should be half-decent at – designing shoes.

With her singing career decidedly down at heel, Posh will put her heart and sole into designing pricey footwear for top label Gina.

Bosses there asked her if she would be interested in launching her own range of expensive shoes.

With the number of fancy heels she has bought I would think she will be something of an expert.

Many a credit card has taken a battering in Gina stores — believe me, I’ve been there. They can cost over a thousand quid a pair.

Just this week in London’s Knightsbridge branch of Gina I spotted MARTINE McCUTCHEON trying on a bargain basement pair selling for “just” £300.

Victoria has already made some sketches of shoes and her finished products are likely to sport a VB logo.

A pal said last night: “When the offer came in Victoria said ‘yes’ straight away. She loves shoes and has a really good eye for what is cool and what’s not.

“She is a style icon and is confident she will come up with some sexy designs.

“Regardless of what you think of her singing career, nobody can dispute that she has great fashion sense.

But shoes aren’t the only designer iron in the fire for Posh at the moment.

She is bringing out a range of beauty products, including a face cream to rival Crème de la Mer, which sells at around £100 a pot.

The deal comes as Victoria branches out in a bid to build brand-Beckham across the world.

She will tie up her buckling pop career with one more single then concentrate on promoting the style credentials of herself and David.

I say good luck to her. I reckon it’s time for Victoria to say “cobblers” to singing ... this shoe thing might just work.

Something's I never thought I’d never see – her Ladyship VICTORIA BECKHAM on public transport.

It seems she isn’t too, er, Posh, to use a tram. Victoria, with sons Brooklyn and Romeo and her dad Tony, boarded one in Manchester on Saturday to go to watch her husband David play for England in a friendly against Iceland.

She clung on to a few diva points by demanding a security guard accompanied her.

And she was dressed from head to toe in exclusive designer gear. Mind you, that could all change. Last week I spotted her bargain hunting for clothes.

At this rate, she’ll be removing expensive bubbly from her shopping list and replacing it with Babycham and Pot Noodles.

BECKHAMS RENEW WEDDING VOWS

Celebrity supercouple David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary Sunday by renewing their wedding vows in a top-secret ceremony in Morocco.

According to reports in British newspaper the Sunday Mirror, the pair hope that the blessing will put their troubled marriage back on track, which was rocked earlier this year by allegations David had an affair with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos.

A close friend of the family says. "David and Victoria Beckham are real people and they have been through the mill. They needed to do something to put their romance back on track and this was perfect.

"They believe the best way to heal the rifts are to be alone and together in paradise. What better way to celebrate their anniversary than by renewing their wedding vows?"

The couple opted for a traditional Christian ceremony on the grounds of a hotel in the exclusive Amanjena resort on the outskirts of Marrakesh.

A hotel source says "It was a special instruction. They wanted to know if our (priest) would be available on Sunday and we duly booked him."

The Beckhams have been making the most of their two-week break and have been spotted shopping at a local street market and an art gallery

BECKHAMS COURT CAMERAS ON ROMANTIC GETAWAY

Superstar couple David and Victoria Beckham have been enjoying the attention of photographers on their recent holiday -- despite billing the trip as a romantic getaway.

The former Spice Girl and her soccer ace husband lounged by the pool at Morocco's plush Amanjena Hotel as paparazzi snapped their every move. And neither star seemed to mind being the center of attention.

One onlooker says, "They seemed conscious that they were surrounded by cameras and were playing up to it.

"Victoria was feeding David crumbs from her lunch and loudly asking a waiter what the Spanish was for 'hello.'

"It was an odd question as all the staff spoke Arabic. Maybe she thought Morocco was in Spain."

A lot of people think they will be divorced by the end of the year, but I think they have a genuine relationship, not one of these Hollywood sixty second fling marriages. I think they can make it and I hope they do.

BECKHAM'S SHOPPING SPREE IN MOROCCO

Victoria Beckham has supplied a massive financial boost to retailers on the bustling streets of Marrakech, Morocco -- after spending $45,000 in one shop.

The pop star -- who is in the African country on a intimate break with her soccer-playing husband David -- was so impressed by the goods on offer in a store full of Moroccan artifacts, she purchased a massive haul of antiques, furniture and carpets for the couple's mansion in England.

And the celebrity couple were so thrilled with their new possessions, they invited shop owner Abdul Khalid to join them at their plush villa on the outskirts of Marrakech to discuss shipping arrangements.

A source says, "She was enchanted by everything she saw. I'm sure Victoria and David would have cleared out the whole store if they could have."

BECKHAM'S PRICEY PRESENT FOR IN-LAWS

Soccer star David Beckham has splashed out on a $144,000 Range Rover for his wife Victoria's parents, to apologize for all the media pressure stemming from his alleged infidelities.

Last month Victoria's mother Jackie Adams went on a local radio station to angrily dismiss recent media allegations that the couple are unhappy.

Before the Beckhams left England for a romantic getaway in Morocco, the sports star gave Jackie and her husband Tony the dark silver Vogue, complete with leather interior, satellite navigation, DVD player and LCD TV screens.

A family friend says, "It was a gift to say sorry for all the hassle he had put Tony, Jackie and their daughter through.

"David felt it was necessary to say thank you for their support. When Victoria is unhappy, her parents are unhappy. David hates that he put them through all that."

GOOD to see POSH and BECKS keeping it real during a stay at ELTON JOHN’s plush mansion in the South of France.

Instead of using Sir Elton’s £6,000-a-month chef, the pair were chauffeured out of the estate — and driven to McDonald’s.

It shows the Beckhams are just like the rest of us — some days you just HAVE to have a Big Mac.

Arson attack scare ... Posh and Becks

TREMBLING Victoria Beckham was left fearing for her life when an intruder was grabbed as he “ranted and raved” about her husband David outside their mansion.

Posh, 30, was in Beckingham Palace just with little sons Brooklyn and Romeo as the raider got set to torch the house.

The 38-year-old intruder, who has a history of mental illness, was carrying petrol and is also thought to have had a crowbar and chisel.

He had some weird notes on him — and white powder believed to be a controlled drug.

He was intercepted by security guards after scaling the Hertfordshire spread’s 7ft perimeter wall on Sunday night.

Football idol Beckham, 29, was not there at the time. The England skipper was in Spain preparing to report for pre-season training with his Real Madrid team-mates. A source close to the Beckhams said:

Victoria is shaken up. She only had the children with her when the man broke into the grounds.

He was ranting and raving about David. He wasn’t really making any sense but the terrifying thing was that he had petrol with him.

Neither Victoria nor David can bear to think what he was planning to do with it.

It looks as if he was deliberately targeting the property for whatever reason.

Alert ... how CCTV may have seen raider

He knew exactly where he was and where he was going. He had intent to cause some kind of damage.

Ex-Spice Girl Victoria, who was watching TV after returning from her French holiday with Becks, fled the £5million mansion in Sawbridgeworth following the drama.

She took Brooklyn, five, and 22-month-old Romeo to the home of her parents Tony and Jackie in nearby Cheshunt.

The source said: “Nothing matters more to her than the safety of her family. It is very spooky for her to think someone managed to get past the gates and into the grounds.

“Victoria and David are constantly fearful for their security because they have so much attention focused on them.”

Arson kit ... maniac was caught with a petrol can

The unnamed intruder lives just two miles from Beckingham Palace. It is thought he triggered a sophisticated alarm system after scrambling over the 24-acre estate’s wall.

He was tracked by a network of CCTV cameras that feed into a control centre manned by a security team. And five guards pounced on him as he neared the house.

Police were alerted. They sent a helicopter and patrol cars within minutes.

The man was arrested and taken away for questioning. He was later released on police bail pending further inquiries.

The white powder in his possession has been sent for forensic tests.

Tools ... nut had a crowbar

The Beckhams spent a fortune fortifying the mansion after an alleged bid to kidnap Victoria and her sons was foiled in November 2002.

Five men were charged by police. But a judge later threw out the case after ruling that a witness who had a conviction for dishonesty was “unreliable”.

POSH FLEES TO FRANCE AFTER INTRUDER INCIDENT

Victoria Beckham spent an incredible $45,000 to fly to France Tuesday -- just a day after an armed intruder broke into her English mansion.

The former Spice Girl -- who is married to soccer ace David Beckham -- chartered a private jet to an industrial estate near Cannes, in the south of France, taking her two sons, dad Tony and a group of friends with her.

While there, Victoria bought some soft furnishings and a brochure, before flying to her family villa nearby and then back to London's Stansted Airport early Tuesday night.

A source says, "Victoria's always had a canny eye for bargains but this was a bit of an expensive way to do the shopping.

"Luckily for her, there was a sale on, but even by her standards, this was a long and pricey way to go to buy some sofas."

Beckham Intruder A 'Nazi Fanatic'

The man tackled inside the grounds of Victoria and David Beckham's mansion is a Nazi fanatic whose flat is covered in Adolf Hitler memorabilia.

The unnamed 38-year-old left former Spice Girl Victoria terrified on Sunday (18JUL04) night when security grabbed him at the Hertfordshire property while carrying petrol and screaming about soccer superstar David.

The Real Madrid ace was not at the property at the time of the incident.

The Sun reports the man has a swastika carved into his front door at his home in nearby Harlow and regularly irritates neighbours by playing loud music.

He has also been treated in a local psychiatric unit, and has been banned from a number of local pubs.

One neighbour tells the publication, "He is a complete nightmare - the neighbour from hell. He blasts his music day and night with no let-up."

Another adds, "He plays nasty racial, skinhead stuff. We are always complaining to the police and the council. But nothing ever gets done."

Victoria was watching television with sons Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, 22 months, when the man was intercepted by security. She swiftly drove them to her parents home.

Cops arrested the man before releasing him on police bail on Monday (19JUL04).

Posh's disastrous attempt at a comeback was the last straw for record label Telstar - which has gone bust.

According to The Sun, the company invested over £1million in promoting the former Spice Girl, hoping she would find chart success.

But after her first single bombed and her album produced by hip-hop mogul Damon Dash was canned, Telstar paid the price.

Chairman Neil Palmer blamed lack of radio support for British artists and illegal internet downloading.

He said: “The perilous state of the once great UK record industry bodes badly for this sector.”

The label, which once the biggest independent label in Britain, was formed in 1982 and found success with the Jive Bunny compilations.

Recent hit-signings include R&B artists Mis-Teeq and Craig David.

Posh a dance dud - August 02, 2004


VICTORIA Beckham has been crowned the worst dancer in pop. She joins fellow Spice Girls Emma Bunton (third worst) and Geri Halliwell (fifth), in the poll.

The Girls Aloud quintet, Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Tweedy, Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts, came fourth, while Kelly Osbourne came second.

The poll, to mark the launch of a new dance reality TV show, also highlighted the worst male dancers.

Peter Andre was crowned the most awful male dancer, followed by Robbie Williams.

While British stars dominate the worst dancer categories, Americans have more rhythm. Jennifer Lopez was voted best dancer, followed by Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

The survey of 1000 teenagers marks the launch of TV reality show Bump n' Grind, which starts in the UK this week.

DAVID BECKHAM is having feng shui symbols sewn into his football boots in a desperate bid to get his career back on track.

The England skipper and Real Madrid star turned to mysticism after off-the-field problems affected his performance.

The design of the boot was strongly influenced by Becks’ interest in Eastern culture, especially yin and yang — the belief that opposite influences balance life and give it harmony.

Becks begged his boot supplier, Adidas, to use the ancient Chinese beliefs to assist them in the design of his flashy new PredatorPulse footwear.

He said: “I’m very proud to wear these boots because they represent the idea of yin and yang.”

Followers of feng shui believe the positioning and physical characteristics of an object affect the fortunes of the owner.

A source told me: “Monks from the Far East and even feng shui experts were consulted to help Becks find a spiritual balance in his feet. They watched hours of footage of him in action before determining the correct set up.

“They left nothing to chance to help Becks once again live up to his Goldenballs tag.”

Only 723 pairs of the boots have been made — his squad numbers from Man Utd and Real put together.

He has been ordered to keep and wear pairs number one, seven, 23 and 723 — with the rest being sold for increased good karma.

All the boots produced will be size nine — Beckham’s size — and will cost nearly £500.

To help create a “yin and yang harmony”, the boots will come in Becks’ trademark red and silver. The silver represents class, purity and value, the red power and stimulation for his heart and breathing.

It is not the first time Becks has used the Chinese way of thinking. Beckingham Palace at Sawbridgeworth, Herts, was designed with feng shui principles in mind.

The names of Posh and Becks’ sons, Romeo and Brooklyn, will still be embroidered on the boots.

Fancy a house in Posh's Beck yard?

http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2004301027,00.jpg
David and Victoria Beckham ... you could be their neighbour for £750k

HERE’S your chance to be VICTORIA and DAVID BECKHAM’s next-door neighbour.
No, I’m not kidding — the gatehouse at the bottom of Beckingham Palace drive is on the market and could be yours.

Well, that’s as long as you have £750,000 burning a hole in your pocket.

A friend of the Beckhams said: “The bungalow is just yards from the gate to Beckingham Palace — it’s a perfect spot to see everyone going in and out.

“It’s a lot of money but imagine the prestige of saying your neighbours are the most famous couple in Britain.”

The four-bedroom bungalow in Sawbridgeworth, Herts, has a fitness room, two reception areas and plenty of garage space.

Three years ago the bungalow next to it went on the market and was snapped up by the Beckhams to stop a snoop moving on to their doorstep.

http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2004360114,00.jpg
For sale ... gatehouse

They then sold the two-bedroom converted stables to their house-keepers John and Nicky Giles- Larkin for £250,000.

The friend added: “Victoria and David don’t want a nosy neighbour to move in because they are paranoid about people revealing what they’re up to.”

Two weeks ago, Posh was at the centre of a massive security scare after a crazed intruder got into the grounds of Beckingham Palace while she was at home with sons BROOKLYN and ROMEO.

He was armed with firelighters and rags soaked in petrol when he was grabbed by guards.

The pal said: “The area is rife with rumours Posh and Becks have been looking round a plush hotel called Briggens House in Stanstead Abbots. They are said to be planning to convert it into a luxury home.

“Victoria has been very concerned about security at Beckingham Palace recently and thinks the hotel can be made into a fortress.

“They are not even sure how long they will continue to live at Beckingham Palace.

“They are spending less and less time there since David moved to Madrid.

“They’ve even been looking at penthouse apartments and houses in central London.”

The couple aren’t doing badly on the property front. They made a cool £500,000 profit on their old Cheshire home.

They flogged the converted barn for £1.75million after owning it for three years.

Wow, just think how many pairs of Gucci heels Posh can buy with that!

BECKHAMS PURCHASE SPANISH HOME

Victoria Beckham has purchased a $9 million home in Spain -- as part of her plan to join her soccer superstar husband David.

The former Spice Girl and her Real Madrid ace spouse have purchased the luxury pad in a private estate in the north of the Spanish capital -- which will be ready in September for the couple and their children -- Brooklyn, 5, and 23-month-old Romeo to move into.

A source says, "David and Victoria are delighted to have finally bought a house in Spain where they can live together as a family.

"For the next month the Beckhams have rented a large property. It will allow them time to get their dream home sorted exactly as they want it. Victoria is looking forward to the challenge."

The Beckhams' palatial home contains massive bedrooms and an open-air swimming pool -- plus, security fences are set to be fitted.

The couple has subsequently put up for sale the bungalow situated next to their English mansion for $1.35 million. The new residents there will have a voyeuristic view of the Beckhams, though they're not sure how long it will be before they move completely into their new Spanish home.

Is Beckham the new Diana?

University researcher are claiming that David Beckham has taken the late Diana, Princess of Wales' place in the nation's heart.

Researchers analysed the footballer and Diana, and concluded that Beckham had easily stepped into her part of the celebrity constellation since her premature death.

Earlier this year Becks was forced on the offensive to deny claims of an affair with his former PA Rebecca Loos, and weathered criticism by some of his "lacklustre" performance at the Euro 2004 championships.

The University of Warwick team claimed that it is Beckham's ability to represent various roles and values that has enabled him to weather his recent media storms.

Researcher Dr Andrew Parker said: "Like Princess Diana, Beckham is constantly in the glare of the media. Both have been labelled as part of Britain's 'Golden Couple', and have stirred up massive tabloid frenzies."

The team said both Beckham and Diana won the hearts of the nation by showing an "unexpected humility" and by recognising the value of other people over and above themselves.

The researchers added: "Both have been credited with a driving work ethic deeply invested in the values of love, devotion and loyalty.

"Yet both are glamorous figures, supremely beautiful and have unashamedly invested in the pleasures of the body and consumption."

Ultimately, the researchers said it was Beckham's ability to be "all things to all people" that was the key to achieving the celebrity space he now occupies which is so similar to that taken by Diana.

Dr Parker said: "Beckham has been described in many ways - master craftsman, global phenomenon, chosen-one, sporting messiah, quintessential sporting icon.

"Beckham's status arises from his ability to simultaneously represent conflicting qualities, including popular masculinity, sporting excellence, colossal economic capital, physical glamour and emotions."

POSH and BECKS are in talks to launch their own range of dazzling diamond jewellery.

The couple have been asked to come up with a series of designs by a private gems firm.

They have never done anything like it before but who better to ask?

Victoria and David own a staggering collection of jewellery and they are constantly looking in top stores for expensive trinkets to give each other.

David bought his wife pink diamonds for her 30th birthday this year and the Real Madrid and England star often wears diamond earrings, rings and studded watches.

A source close to the Beckhams told me: “David and Victoria were approached by a diamond company to launch a range of jewellery. They are interested but the talks are in the early stages. "

“It would be something they would do together under the Beckham brand. The designs would be more trendy and bling bling than classic.”

David has been training hard with his Real Madrid team-mates for the past few weeks in preparation for the start of the Spanish football season.

Victoria has now moved to Madrid permanently with the couples’ sons, Brooklyn and Romeo. The family are living in a rented home in the city while they wait to move into their new house next month.

A pal of Victoria’s said: “She is happy being with her family in Spain. She is committed to being there and is getting into Spanish life." “The family are now feeling settled in the country and David is enjoying learning to speak the language. "

“He’s thrilled to have his family with him and is confident and excited about the new football season. "

“He’s been training really hard, is super fit and can’t wait to get on the pitch. Football is all he is concentrating on at the moment.”

Victoria is also working on a number of other fashion projects — including designing a range of shoes for posh store, Gina.

VICTORIA Beckham has been secretly visiting a Harley Street baby expert — sparking rumours she is expecting her third child.

Posh, 30, further fuelled speculation by hiding herself away in the Madrid home she shares with soccer idol husband David, 29.

The couple are desperate for another baby — and, with Posh visiting childbirth expert Dr Malcolm Gillard, their dreams could be about to come true.

If a pregnancy is confirmed, it is sure to delight England skipper Becks, who has confessed that he longs for a baby sister for his two young sons Brooklyn and Romeo.

The Real Madrid ace, 29, said: “Victoria and I will have children again at some point. I’ve always wanted two boys. I always wanted a brother when I was little.

“In fact, when my younger sister was born I was quite upset! I’m glad I’ve had two sons — but now I’d like a little girl.”

Dr Gillard, the obstetrician who delivered Brooklyn five years ago, is based at Central London’s exclusive Portland Hospital.

Both Brooklyn and Romeo, who turns two next month, were born there. Posh, 30, has added further fuel to rumours she is pregnant by hiding herself away.

The former Spice Girl has not been seen for weeks and has shunned her regular shopping trips to stay at her home in Spain.

A source close to the singer said: “Victoria has been putting on a bit of healthy weight recently and she and David do want another baby.

“Victoria has no real work commitments at the moment as she isn’t releasing any records. It’s the perfect time to have another child.

“She’s been consulting Dr Gillard and everyone is keeping their fingers crossed that it’s good news.”

The source added: “Victoria has spent the past few weeks in Spain settling into life there. She’s moved permanently to be with David and they’ve found Brooklyn a good school.

"They are moving into a new house next month and are feeling much more settled. David is much happier to have his family in Spain with him.”

A spokesman for Victoria last night denied she was pregnant.

I think it would be good for them to have another child. It would heal any damage done by the scandal of whether of not he cheated and quiet down all the people saying their marriage is over and all that. Congratulations to them both if it's true

Posh is pregnant!
Daily Mail

Victoria Beckham is pregnant with her third child, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The singer, whose marriage to David Beckham appeared to be on the rocks earlier this year, is in the early stages of pregnancy.

However, friends are urging her to take it easy after the months of strain and worry. "She is going to have to be very careful," a source close to the singer said.

Mrs Beckham, 30, has long talked about how she would like a third child to join Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, who turns two in a fortnight.
But her marriage was shaken in April by claims that Beckham, 29, had had an affair with his personal assistant Rebecca Loos after leaving England to join Real Madrid.

Mrs Beckham told her husband she wanted to try for a baby when they went on holiday to Morocco two months ago.

"Brooklyn and Romeo are the glue that holds the marriage together," said the source. "Victoria believes that with a new baby - which she hopes will be a girl - they can get their marriage back on track.

"At first David tried to talk her out of it, saying he did not believe that having a baby could solve their problems. But if Victoria wants something, Victoria gets it."

The source added: "The pregnancy comes at a time when the family are getting on well. Victoria has put her career plans on hold and they have been spending lots of time together."

Mrs Beckham has been seen visiting the office of her gynaecologist, Dr Malcolm Gillard,who is based at the Portland Hospital in Central London.

With a new school term imminent, the problem of where Mrs Beckham and her sons will live is likely to come up again. She has so far been reluctant to move to Spain.
