From the soccer field to the roof of one of London’s red double-decker buses, David Beckham will be kicking the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics into high gear this Sunday. According to British newspapers, the international soccer star is on his way to China right now to practice his part in the closing ceremony. When the Games end at Beijing’s National Stadium, the distinction of hosting the Summer Olympics transfers to London in 2012 and Beckham will reportedly be included in the handover segment, which features a surprise finale.

Just Saying No

Spice Girl turned reality TV star Victoria Beckham is denying that she is adding to her clan. The girl group singer insists that she is not pregnant (yet) and is currently concentrating on spending “quality time” with her three young sons. Beckham sparked rumors a few weeks ago when she told reporters that she dreamed of adding a baby girl to her brood of boys. Further fanning the rumor flames was the fact that the rail-thin mom was noticeably staying away from alcohol at her birthday celebration last month. Earlier this week the spicy mama issued this statement in an … Continue reading →

Stars Branching Out (And it Ain’t Pretty)

Not again… Victoria Beckham went from being a model to a singer to the subject of a reality TV series to earning a bit part on a popular network series and now the 34-year-old Spice Girl is headed to the big screen. UGH! Hold on a minute and you might understand why David Beckham’s wife is set to make her movie debut in “Hardy Men.” According to reports, she was personally hired by the film’s star Tom Cruise. Which just goes to show you that it’s not what you know, but who you know in Hollywood that guarantees work. According … Continue reading →

Now That’s Love

And you thought you loved your in-laws… Super soccer star David Beckham is putting other son-in-law’s to shame with his latest move to prove just how much he loves his wife’s parents. According to new reports, the L.A. Galaxy star just presented his ultra-luxe mansion in Dubai to his mother and father-in-law as a token of his appreciation “for creating the woman he plans to spend the rest of his life with.” I’m not sure if I should cry or gag. Beckham reportedly bought the property for a mere $1.6 million in 2002 – but the waterfront villa, set on … Continue reading →

Holly Jolly Celebrity Gifts—-Spice Girl Style

What did you get from your spouse this Christmas? Soccer star David Beckham gave his Spice Girl wife a gift I found very interesting. Not because it was priced at $1,500, but because it was made of paper and not precious gems. Victoria Beckham’s hot hubby dropped more than a grand to get a fashion book for his famous wife. The expensive (to me anyway—I’m sure $1,500 is stocking stuffer range for the Beckham’s) Christmas present, Valentino Garavani: First Name in Fashion is one of just 2,000 copies made available worldwide. Victoria’s was personally signed by the legendary designer, covered … Continue reading →

The Most Overrated

No, no, this is not my personal list (which would surely start with Britney Spears and Hooters food), but it is a list from Radar Magazine. Who or what is the most overrated? Well, sorry to say Brits, but the magazine deemed your beloved David and Victoria Beckham as the winners of this dubious award. They said that David is an overpaid soccer star (true) and Victoria is a “pointless collection of body parts.” Ouch. I agree they are overrated, but I think they should also be #1 in the Most Overexposed category as well (along with Tom, Katie, and … Continue reading →

Celebrities in Crisis

Looks can be deceiving… I always thought actor Dylan McDermott and his wife Shiva Rose had it all. They are both incredibly good-looking; they both have successful careers in Hollywood; and they have two healthy and adorable kids… what more could you ask for? Apparently, something must be missing because today their rep told the media that after nearly 12 years of marriage the couple has decided to separate. The actors have been married since 1995 and have two daughters, 11-year-old Collette and 2-year-old Charlotte. So what went wrong? The couple’s rep is staying tight-lipped, but you have to wonder … Continue reading →

Celebrities Unite To Help Find Missing Girl

By now I’m sure you have heard the story of 4-year-old Madeleine McCann. She is the British girl who was allegedly kidnapped from her family’s vacation villa in Portugal on May 3rd. News of her disappearance made international headlines and inspired many celebrities to contribute to her reward fund. Currently, the Madeleine McCann reward fund (given to the person or persons who provide information that helps assist in the child’s safe return) has exceeded $5 million. According to British press reports, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has to date pledged the single largest contribution to the fund. One newspaper called … Continue reading →

Celebrity Weekend Round Up—Big Parties For Big Stars

All that dancing finally paid off… Laila Ali waltzed her way through a picture perfect wedding to retired NFL star Curtis Conway in L.A. last night. According to news reports, the boxing champ and former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant said “I do” in front of 200 guests, including her famous father, Muhammad Ali. The bridal party was reportedly a family affair with Laila’s sister serving as a bridesmaid and Conway’s 12-year-old twin sons acting as ring bearers while his 8-year-old daughter served as the flower girl. Regular “Dancing” fans heard a lot about the preparations being made for the … Continue reading →
