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

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.

So Much Ballyhoo About The Beckham’s

In the course of my daughter’s recent illness she has gotten into a pattern of wanting a full body massage at around 2 a.m. It’s around this time that I switch on the news (mute it) and read the headlines that scrawl at the bottom of the screen. I have been shocked that for the past three nights one of the top stories has been David and Victoria Beckham’s move to America. The British soccer star and his “Spice Girl” wife’s move from England to California has been covered by all the major networks, the cable channels, and extensively by … Continue reading

Beckham Suffers Knee Injury – Out Six Weeks

As luck would have it, even the rich and famous are susceptible to something that plagues many of us – injuries. Soccer superstar David Beckham, 31, suffered ligament damage while playing a match in Spain with his soon to be old team, Real Madrid last Sunday. The injury came as he was trying to get the ball and crashed into an advertising sign (ouch). He tried to continue playing (soccer games only allow two subs per game), but he finally left the game in the 63rd minute. Beckham has been ordered by doctors to remain on the sidelines for the … Continue reading
