David Beckham’s US Move: Bittersweet

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that David Beckham is planning to move to the United States this summer to take on the role of pumping up soccer in America.  He’ll be joining the Los Angeles Galaxy in hopes of making the sport into the phenomena that it is everywhere else in the world.  But the move is bittersweet.

The stylish soccer stud will clearly miss the camaraderie he shares with his Real Madrid teammates. Roberto Carlos, Mahamadou Diarra and Fernando Gago, were spotted joking with Beckham at a recent car event in the Spanish capital. And last week David joined some of his closest friends from the team for a gathering at one of his favorite restaurants.  They presented him with an engraved silver tray and told him that he’d always have a home in Madrid. 

David Beckham’s Birthday Payback

Not too long ago, David Beckham surprised his wife, Victoria Beckham, with an extravagant birthday full of shopping, dinner and a hotel stay in Paris. The former Spice Girl repaid the favor, whisking her soccer star husband to London for a $40,000 shopping spree and an extravagant birthday dinner on Wednesday night.

Victoria took her hubby by surprise, splashing out $32,000 on a private jet to fly him from Madrid to the capital city to celebrate his 32nd birthday in style.

The Beckham’s New $22 Million LA Mansion

Despite recent feuding, the Beckhams are moving in down the street from Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. After viewing more than 30 properties in Beverly Hills, Victoria and David finally settled on a six-bedroom “trophy estate”, priced at $22 million.

According to Hello! magazine, “Set in a 13,000-square-foot plot, the Italian-style mansion will be Victoria and David’s base when the Real Madrid player moves to LA Galaxy. The modern interior features a mixture of hardwood and slate floors with six fireplaces and full air-conditioning. And there should be no squabbles about who gets to use the shower first - the house has nine bathrooms.”

Klum and Kurkova: Victoria’s Secret World’s Sexiest

Last evening, Heidi Klum and Karolina Kurkova celebrated the announcement of the Victoria’s Secret rundown of sexy stars.

According to Monica Mitro, a spokeswoman for the intimate apparel company, it’s not just how a person looks that creates sex appeal. “Sexy is about how you are as a person,” Mitro said. 

A Parisian Beckham Birthday Party!

Victoria Beckham was treated to a pleasant surprise for her 33rd birthday when husband, David Beckham, whisked her off for a romantic day in Paris.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Victoria thought she would have a really low-key birthday, just going for a Chinese meal with David and their boys. But when she woke up, David asked her to get in the car - he had already packed a bag full of clothes he’d bought for her.”
