David Beckham Gossip
No Paris for Posh
David Beckham was supposed to sign with Paris Saint-Germain and play in Europe again. I mean it was sounding like a done deal for weeks, even before he led the LA Galaxy to the MLS championship. Now PSG has confirmed (they sound disappointed) that Becks has walked away from the contract, preferring instead to stay in LA so as not to uproot his family. Full Story
Hot Harry’s holiday open shirt

While his brother was bringing holiday cheer to homeless youth yesterday, Prince Harry hit up the club, seen leaving the Arts Club in Mayfair after a night out with, among others, David Beckham, newly arrived from Los Angeles. What is it about a young aristocrat and an open collar? Or, rather, this particular young royal and his open collar? I’m really into it. Full Story

I was ridiculously happy to see these photos released. Like, in a way that suggests I may have a problem. It’s just… I mean they’re three of my favourite subjects. And here they are, together, all of them, at a ball. Come on! It’s Christmas!Check out Prince William, Catherine, and Prince Harry at The Sun Military Awards in London tonight, the three young representatives of an invigorated monarchy. Full Story
Wingman or Babysitter?

There’s apparently no helicopter training over Thanksgiving in Arizona so, fresh from his adventures in Vegas, Prince Harry is now supposedly in Los Angeles, evidently eager to spend the weekend surrounded by fake and plastic - breasts, chins, lips, friendships, and more, along with all the other indulgences Hollywood has to offer.

H7’s first championship
Bauer, Splash
David Beckham led the Los Angeles Galaxy to an MLS championship last night in front of his wife, his parents, his sons, and his baby girl Harper Seven. It was the crowning achievement on an investment that keeps paying off. Did you know that 600,000 jerseys were sold in his first year with the team, he was the primary reason behind an increase in ticket sales, and was the key factor in the team’s lucrative tv agreement? This is why he’s the top earner among all footballers in the world even though he plays in a league where the skill level is nowhere near that of its European counterparts. Full Story
Enough to feed the family
People watch me eat like it’s something grotesque. I can pack away the food. When we were in Barbados, I would clean off my producer Heather’s dinners every night. And our friend Tiffany’s. After my own meal. Portion Control is an expression I would gladly take a sh-t on. So... Here’s David Beckham, again with a new Facebook photo Full Story
Posh sells books
Several of you have emailed me about this today: sales of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird have increased 123% on Amazon UK; it now occupies 38th spot on the bestseller list. The Beckham Bump. Does she know? OF COURSE she knows. As IF she hasn’t been googling Harper Seven Beckham Victoria Beckham since she gave birth. Full Story
Photo shoots for Harper Seven
She’s just a week old but already Harper Seven, thanks to her parents, is being well trained in the art of photo famewhoring... “candidly”, of course. Photos of Harper being cradled by both her mother and her father have been posted on David Beckham’s Facebook Full Story
One year of As IF-ing
“Harper was a name that we’ve loved for a long time, you know, for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons is, um, Harper’s an old English name which we loved, and one of the other reasons, Victoria’s favourite book is To Kill a Mockingbird and the author was Harper Lee. Ah, and it’s a very strong, passionate book so that’s where Harper came from. Full Story
Harper Seven Beckham
The Beckhams finally have a daughter. She was born yesterday somewhere around 7am. It was a scheduled c-section. Couldn’t be on Saturday because David had a game and Will & Kate were throwing a party. And you’ll note, the announcement of the name on David’s Facebook page came only AFTER Will & Kate had boarded the plane headed back to London. Full Story
The Biggest As IF in the world
David Beckham just posted this photo on his Facebook page: Took this pic of Victoria while she wasn't looking. She looks amazing, so close now to the baby being born!Um, as IF she wasn’t looking. As IF they didn’t try this at least 15 times, and he showed her every time, and she readjusted even more times, until they got it right. Full Story
Independence Beckham?
The internets are abuzz about Victoria Beckham giving birth today. July 4th is the Beckham wedding anniversary. They’ve hinted that they want to make the day extra extra special. And since she’s having a c-section they can pretty much choose when and where. So rumour has it, it will be today in LA. Full Story
LaLa’s Godfather?
The Beckhams were invited to the Wedding of the Century. Naturally, the British tabloids have been quick to hop on their acquaintanceship-relationship, eager to manufacture some kind of bullsh-t headline that might move a few extra thousand copies or generate a few extra page views. As a traffic whore myself, I’m down with generating page views, but putting a story out there about the Future King of England being the godfather to the Beckhams incoming girl-child seems a bit of a stretch, non? According to a source for The Mirror Full Story
Becks touches the bump!
Remember when Posh and Becks posed on thrones at their wedding? I thought about this when I saw them arriving at the Royal Wedding. What Victoria must have thought of the understated elegance at Westminster Abbey. And the pomp and the privilege and all of it that money can’t buy. Which is perhaps why David was wearing his OBE on the wrong side. Full Story
