Victoria Beckham at the British Fashion Awards at The Savoy in London - 28 November 2011
David and Victoria Beckham are considering leaving Los Angeles.
The soccer star is in talks with French club Paris Saint-Germain and a number of UK teams and rather than Victoria and their four children Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six, and four-month-old daughter Harper remaining in Los Angeles while he plays in Europe, the entire family may relocate with the couple already lining up possible schools for the boys.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “David is on the brink of committing to either Paris Saint-Germain or a UK club. He’ll make the announcement just after the New Year.
“They are preparing to be back in Britain and have been looking at schools for the boys. David is keen on one particular school because it’s the area where he grew up and when he was a child he always wished he could have gone there.”
Although Victoria was initially reluctant to move, the hugely successful fashion designer is now “excited” about returning home.
The source added: “David has always been adamant he wants to end his career in Europe and Victoria is totally behind the move. She is using the opportunity to work on her fashion profile in Europe and the boys will be privately educated. They are all very excited.
“Victoria wants to come back to London and live between the capital and Paris but she won’t give up the place in LA. The advantage of being over here is they can spend more time with their families. But they love LA so it’s likely they’ll be back.”
It’s time to revise that Christmas list with the launch of an exclusive capsule collection by Victoria Beckham for designer site Net-a-Porter.
The range described by Victoria as “chic, timeless and elegant” consists of five of Ms B’s best selling SS 2011 and AW 2011 dresses, all of which have been revamped especially for the website
However, you better hope your OH wins the lottery as the range doesn’t come cheap with a mark of between £1,050 and £1,950. And you also better hope he’s super speedy as many of them have sold out. Let’s hope the real Santa comes to our rescue.
David Beckham is following the footsteps of his wife Victoria, who’s now pretty much a fully-fledged designer in New York, and turning his hand to design himself – but instead of sportswear, which is what we’d expect the guy to be designing, he’s actually designing underwear after appearing in a campaign for Emporio Armani briefs.
And you thought he’d be designing the same kinds of tighty-whities he’s always seen smouldering in on billboards, you’re wrong – he’s actually designing old fashioned long-johns. Apparently David Beckham looooves a pair of old-school grandpa-style long johns! Who the hell knew!
When explaining his unusual choice of design for the new collection, David said: “I sometimes wear them to go to sleep. They’re very cool.” Bless him.
A source close to David spoke out about the footballer’s new underwear plans: “David is 35 and knows he won’t be playing soccer forever. But he’s an icon for men all over the world and he wears pants like no one can – so it makes sense for him to launch his own.”
Well, we’re glad that Victoria is around to help him out with his designs and try to sex up long-johns a little bit. We don’t want all our boyfriends to follow suit and start going to bed looking like our grandpa.
Victoria Beckham might feel a little out of her comfort zone at the upcoming New York Fashion Week, as a doctor has advised her against wearing her usual high heels at the event for health reasons.
Victoria, who has in the past confessed to not being able to live without her heels, recently suffered a slip disc after giving birth to her new baby girl Harper and has been warned by doctors to avoid stilettos and the like to stop the problem getting worse. But Dr, it’s NEW YORK FASHION WEEK! She can’t wear flats!
A source apparently close to Victoria spoke about the high-heels ban: “Victoria’s not had an easy past few weeks. But she’s a trooper and after getting the all-clear to attend Fashion Week – provided her back doesn’t significantly deteriorate – she has been advised to avoid heels. Although her heel-wearing wasn’t the cause of her back problems, stilettos don’t help her condition. Victoria has been frantically surfing the web for an acceptable pair of flats, ones which don’t make her look like a golf club.”
Mama Beckham isn’t too pleased with the prognosis, having previously expressed her hatred for wearing ballerina flats. She said: “I beyond hate ballerina flats – I can’t even walk in them.” However, she’s sucking it up and focusing on getting better for Harper and the rest of the Beckham clan.
When you get a chance, Posh, you should actually put your feet up – we can’t wait to see the new collection either.
Any excuse really to be able to share some photos of footballer David Beckham.
David, who is now busy being daddy to new baby girl Harper Seven as well as her three brothers Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, is definitely looking more handsome the older he gets. And those tattoos are just amazing!
Oh yeah, and he’s also created a bodywear range exclusively for H&M…
David and Victoria Beckham’s new daughter is believed to have been named after a Disney character.
The naming of Harper Seven, who was born in Los Angeles on Sunday, is thought to have been largely influenced by her three brothers – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz – who wanted to call their sister Harper Finkle, a character played by Jennifer Stone in TV show ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’.
A friend of the couple told The Sun newspaper: “The boys love ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ – and have been very vocal in helping to name their new sister.
“David and Victoria think it is a lovely name. The whole family is pleased with the choice – the boys are very happy.
“Seven is something they had talked about. They were still not certain when the baby was born but it all seemed to fall into place.
“She was born in the seventh month in the hour of seven and weighed seven pounds. It just seemed right. David is keen on the meanings and power of numbers. We all hope it will bring her luck.”
The soccer superstar also wore the number seven shirt when he played for Manchester United and captained the England team.
Following the arrival of Harper, Victoria has told husband David they are not having anymore children, insisting their family is now “complete” after going through a pregnancy that left her with back pain and bunions.
A source said: “With three great boys and now a beautiful girl Victoria is insisting their family is complete.
And a friend added: “Victoria is determined not to have to go through that again.”
Victoria Beckham’s baby bump has racked up many inches in the press recently.
Some reports claim that the super skinny star is struggling with her fashion numbers because she doesn’t want to show off her bump, not only upsetting us – come on Vics make us all feel better – but also hubby David Beckham who wants his wife to show off her new figure.
Then there’s of course the rumours that Victoria was having major stresses about her Royal Wedding outfit, which in the end turned out to be a very simple yet striking baggy dress from her own collection, which did give a small outline of her bump.
However apart from the latter look, it seems Victoria is in fact trying to keep that bump at bay. From the moment the world found out about her pregnancy, the singer/designer has been spotted out in her skinny jeans but always relied on a trusty coat or scarf to help cover that bump. She’s also opted for long baggy tees in a bid to disguise it completely. View the gallery above and tell us if you agree by leaving your comments below.
David Beckham was shocked to find out his wife Victoria Beckham is expecting a girl because doctors originally told them they were having a boy.
The soccer star – who already has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz with the fashion designer – revealed he and Victoria assumed they would be adding another boy to their brood this summer and were overcome with emotion when they discovered they would be having a daughter.
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show, he said: “When you’ve had three boys you just kind of assume that you’re going to have another one. Funnily enough, when we went to have the three-month scan they [the doctors] said, ‘Oh, it looks like a boy.’
“We were, like, ‘Oh, OK, great. Almost like a five-a-side (soccer) team.’ And then we went back and they were like, ‘Actually, it’s a girl.’ The emotion hit us [then]. It’s amazing.”
David, 35, and 36-year-old Victoria – who is five months pregnant – are not the only ones who are excited about adding a girl to their family, their sons can’t wait to get a sister.
He said: “It’s nice to be prepared. The boys are so excited, thinking that they’re going to have a little sister.”
We’re definitely more fashion than “find a job” but when we heard rumours that Victoria Beckham was on the hunt for a new PA, we didn’t think we could keep it a secret (see how good we are to you?)
The style icon, ex singer and one of the luckiest women alive (she gets to share a bed with David Beckham) is apparently on the hunt for a new member of staff to plan her lunches with celebrity friends, design meetings and probably her fitness schedule too.
According to The Mirror, the fashionista has gone into meltdown after her old PA was forced to leave her position after being denied a visa extension in the States. And Ms Beckham wants a replacement fast.
A source told The Mirror: ‘It’s the best job in the world – glamorous, exciting and varied but pretty full-on. It’s been chaos for Victoria without a PA, she is getting frantic.’
Think you’ve got the nerve and organisation for it? Get in touch with Posh’s peeps now, and let us know why you think you’d be good for the job… we’re just curious.
We had a few comments coming through to our inboxes and over Twitter about Peaches Geldof’s tattoos yesterday. Some of you thought they were creative, while others weren’t too keen.
However over the past few decades these pieces of body art have moved away from the stereotypical “Brits on tour” and “punk” ideals into the world of fashion with celebrities such as Posh, Rihanna and Pink all using these to make a huge statement.
They’ve also become a big must have for this season with Chanel creating transfer tattoos as a replacement for those of us too scared to get a real one but who want to keep in with the latest trends.
We’ve therefore put together a gallery of our favourite celebrity tattoos but keep clicking through because we’ve also put in a little surprise for all you David Beckham fans.
And as always let us know what you think about tattoos by voting and leaving your comments below.
Posh and Becks are rarely out of the media spotlight and if you thought this year would be a quieter one for the couple then think again.
Victoria has already racked up inches as high as her stilletoes this month with news that she may be designing a hotel in Dubai with Karl Lagerfeld. And just in case we haven’t seen enough of the pair, they’re now appearing on his ‘n’ hers covers to mark the 10 year anniversary of 10 magazine.
In the first ever celebrity cover for the mag, which was shot by Cedric Buchet, both show off their toned gym bodies. Victoria kept it posh in a range of outfits including a nude Roland Mouret bodycon slip as well as a black bodice and all in one.
In an interview with the magazine she also hinted that her fashion collection wasn’t going to disappear anytime soon, claiming: ‘I still plan to be doing this in 10, 15, 20 years time, so it’s got to be done right.’
However David chose to get all down and dirty for his cover. Hmm if our local mechanic looked like that we might not feel so upset about handing over those huge amounts of cash to get our cars fixed.
The Beckhams are rarely out of the media spotlight.
Victoria always makes a fashion story, and David, well lets be honest who wouldn’t want to hear about him at every opportunity?
However, this time we really think the couple deserve a spot on the fashion news pages.
The duo are designing a range of t-shirts for this years Sports Relief.
And it seems as though the whole family has got involved, not only will each t-shirt feature the Beckhams for Sport Relief logo it will also have a combination of the footprints of each family member, and one style features a picture of David showcasing his football skills.
At leat £5 from the T-shirts, which will be sold at Sainsbury’s and TK Maxx, for £9.99, will go to charity.
