The Beckhams Blings Up Their Gifts

Victoria and David Beckham are treating each other to a glittering array of pimped-up Christmas prezzies. The loved-up pair splashed out on the goodies during a shopping spree at Harrods.

Their luxury gifts include customised crystal-studded and gold-plated gadgets.

Victoria, 36, is in for a sparkling Christmas after picking out a white crystal iPad cover for £800 from the CrystalRoc range.

Becks, 35, pushed the boat out, too, by asking for a £1,500 pair of gold-plated headphones to be made in time for December 25.

And they ensured they had a spare stocking-filler for their boys by choosing a set of Dr Dre headphones, studded with black hematite crystals. Designers are now working round the clock to make sure they get the personalised bling ready in time.

A source said: “David and Victoria like to do things in style so these presents are perfect for them. They already have everything money can buy so wanted to indulge in something a bit different this Christmas.”

CrystalRoc owner Jonathan Bullas has told how sales have doubled this Christmas as celebrities go crazy for crystals.

He said: “We’ve been going for five years and this has been our busiest Christmas yet. We have a lot of interest from footballers. The Beckhams are typical of the kind of clients who go for our high-end stock.”

Victoria was nominated for Designer Brand of the Year but lost out to Mulberry.

“It’s great for me to be nominated. I’m just here to celebrate, that’s a really big deal,” she told Sky News. “It gives me a lot of hope for the future of my brand.”

Also in attendance: Alexa Chung, who won the British Style award that was voted by the public, and supermodel Naomi Campbell, who received a Special Recognition award for 25 years in the business.

The Beckhams to be invited to Prince William's wedding

Prince William is to invite the Beckhams to his wedding to Kate Middleton, the Sunday Mirror can reveal.

Wills struck up a close bond with David Beckham when they teamed up to lead England’s bid to host football’s 2018 World Cup.

The former England skipper and his wife Victoria were among the first to congratulate the royal couple on their engagement last week.

“David texted Wills as soon as he heard, and Wills told him an invite was on its way. David and Victoria were both thrilled and can’t wait,” a Royal source said.

David, 35, and style icon Victoria, 36, will join a select number of A-list celebrities, including Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney, for the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29 next year. President Obama and wife Michelle are also on the guest list, which is expected to be announced at the end of February, when Wills and Kate have received RSVPs.

“They’re thinking carefully about which charities to invite, but they have pretty much decided on the friends they want there. Because they do mix with celebs, there will be quite a few there. It’s the hottest ticket in town. There won’t be many saying ‘sorry, we’re busy that day’.

“The Beckhams sent a card and some flowers, and Victoria is already thinking about dresses.”

Becks meets William – who is President of the Football Association – in Zurich this week to lobby for England’s World Cup campaign.

He will travel without his fiancée Kate in his official FA role, and is seen as a huge asset to the national bid. The friendship between the princes and the Beckhams dates back to 1998, when Prince Charles invited Victoria and the Spice Girls to his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire for tea as a treat for 13-year-old Prince Harry.

This week Sir Elton said he would “probably” sing at the wedding, reprising his famous performance at Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997.

The Beckhams Do Yoga Classes Together

Ever wondered how the Beckhams manage to stay strong despite every scandal thrown at them? Well, Now can exclusively reveal their secret: couples’ power yoga sessions.

Both David, 35, and Victoria, 36, attend the class at The Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills twice

a week. ‘Victoria and David do power yoga classes for couples for an hour about twice a week,’ an insider tells Now.

‘It’s a very intimate experience. You have to learn to become one entity entirely. You stretch, breathe and move as one – it’s great for couples and is probably better than talking in a way. There’s also meditation and reiki healing involved, which is an ancient hands-on energy technique. They also chant mantras together.’

It’s clearly working a treat because their relationship is stronger than ever. But in the face of adversity, you can always rely on a few sun salutations to keep your spirits alive.

‘They started taking the classes about a year ago and it’s astonishing how in tune with each other they are these days,’ says a close pal.

‘There’s now a huge interest in the classes and that’s down to how good the couple look and how close they seem. ‘People think “Wow!” when they see them and want to be as close to their partner as Victoria is with David.’

As well as yoga, Posh also recently tried cardio sculpting with David. Sounds exhausting but who’d want to disappoint a sweaty Becks, eh, Posh?

The Beckhams Covers 'Hello Magazine'

In a world exclusive joint interview with HELLO! magazine, David and Victoria Beckham have hit back at the critics who questioned their relationship after an escort girl made false claims against them.

“We’re soul mates,” Victoria said. “Sometimes people throw s*** at us but we get through it. You deal with it, or you don’t. You go into a marriage knowing there are going to be ups and downs. We’re in the public eye so we have more to deal with than most. We accepted that years ago. It’s just about us and the family.”

The couple also tell HELLO! how they keep their romance alive.

“We always make time for each other,” David said. “We have a ‘date night’ every Wednesday.” Victoria adds: “We catch up on what we’ve missed on the TV. We watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, and we love Melanie B’s new reality show.”

The Beckhams also talked about how they love their life in their adopted homeland of Los Angeles, and reveal how their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, are settling in – even learning sign language so they can communicate with a deaf friend. However, they immediately ask to be taught some rather inappropriate words! “Of course the first thing Cruz, who is five, wanted to learn was how to say ‘I have wind’ and the ‘s’ word,” Victoria reveals. “He also wanted to know what other swear words were!”

Romeo, meanwhile, has just received his first mobile phone – and has been using it to send messages at inappropriate times.

“We got a message from Tana Ramsay saying ‘We don’t mind but Romeo’s been phoning the house in the middle of the night asking to speak to our kids,” Victoria explains.

In addition, David and Victoria reveal the nicknames they have for their three children and how they tease their dad about his English accent. Victoria also talks about her style icons, and explains how she deals with the celebrity clients who are queuing up to wear her fashion designs.

The day before, Jessica Simpson joined other notable speakers like Mary J. Blige and Glee’s Amber Riley at the conference.

Jane Lynch and Jane Fonda warmed up the attendees at the March on Alzheimer’s, which opened the conference over the weekend.

Mel B: 'Spice Girls are my true love'

Mel B has reportedly revealed that her former Spice Girl bandmates are still her "best friends".

She admitted that Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Mel Chisholm are the "loves of her life" and that she enjoyed touring with them in 2007.

She told the Daily Mail: "I've had affairs with all the Spice Girls as far as I'm concerned - they're the loves of my life. We are always in touch with each other. We're supportive of each other because we've known each other a long time. When we were younger, it was five girls who had our periods together, so we screamed at each other, but we all made up afterwards."

The 35-year-old said that their reunion was a lot different to when they first started out in 1994.

She explained: "The first time we did it, it was sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and the last time it was all nappies and dummies. But I got to travel the world with my four best friends. What could be any better than that?"

Speaking about new Spice Girls musical Viva Forever, Mel B added: "I don't know yet if it's going to be based on our real stories or a fabricated story. We've talked about 20,000 different storylines, but it's down to five and we'll all have to agree. There are no plans for a movie yet, but that would be great."

Victoria More Influential Than Queen of England

Behold the power of the Posh!

Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham has been named the second-most influential woman in the UK, sandwiched between "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling and a little lass named Queen Elizabeth II, the Guardian reports.

Just a week after Forbes unveiled its Most Powerful Women in the World list, the National Magazine Company has revealed its own selection of influential Brits, according to the paper.

And it's not hard to see why Beckham made the cut. Between her inspiring chic style and her celeb-adored designs, the fragrance spokesmodel has proved that a little pouting can go a long way.

Along with the famously fashionable Marie Claire November cover girl, the top 10 also reportedly includes style icons such as pop star Cheryl Cole (#5), First Lady Samantha Cameron (#6), designers Cath Kidston (#7) and Vivienne Westwood (#9), and supermodel Kate Moss (#8).

Good work, gals. The champers is on us.

Victoria 'doesn't notice David's voice'

Victoria Beckham has reportedly claimed that she doesn't notice that her husband David has a "high-pitched" voice. The former Spice Girl also said that she realises how lucky she is to be married to the footballer.

She told Marie Claire: "I don't really notice that he's got a high-pitched voice. I just think he's so goddamn perfect that people have to find something wrong with him."

The 36-year-old added that David constantly looks good.

She explained: "We were about to go out somewhere the other day, and he was sending an email. He was sitting at the end of the bed, and he had no clothes on whatsoever. I was getting out of the shower, and I just stood there looking at him. He was all tan. [He] has all those tattoos - which I love. [He] hadn't done his hair. He just naturally looks good all the time. He never looks like s**t in the morning. Never."

Victoria added: "So he's sitting there sending his emails, all ripped. Not an ounce of fat on him. And I thought, 'You done good, girl'. I sure wasn't thinking of his high-pitched voice."

Beckhams tell sons: 'Don't believe lies'

David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly spoken to their sons about recent tabloid stories about David, telling them to ignore the 'lies' in the news.

The couple decided to broach the subject with their sons as they feel that they are old enough to understand what is being reported and don't want them to worry, according to the Sunday Mirror.

A family friend told the newspaper: "The family are showing a totally united front. The kids are smart and they're now at an age where they can understand what's going on and see the front pages of magazines and newspapers. They have been totally honest all the way through. On this occasion they said, 'People have been saying some really mean things about Daddy. Please don't take any notice of them, because they're completely untrue and we know they are not true."

Meanwhile, the News of the World report that the Beckhams have prepared a $25 million lawsuit against Irma Nici, the prostitute who claimed she had sex with David in a New York hotel.

Victoria Beckham 'Is Angry, Humiliated'

Victoria Beckham is reportedly going through "bouts of rage and humiliation" following tabloid claims about her husband David Beckham's private life.

Earlier this week, In Touch magazine published a report suggesting that prostitute Irma Nici had slept with the 35-year-old footballer in a New York hotel room. David has vehemently denied the allegations and vowed to take legal action against Nici and the magazine.

A family friend told The Sun that 36-year-old mother-of-three Victoria is furious and hurt over the allegations, although she believes that the story is untrue.

The source said: "She feels everyone is talking about her and whispering behind her back. She has even said she wants to come home. Considering the hooker has made everything up, Victoria sees it as extremely unfair. She's going through bouts of rage and feelings of humiliation."

The insider added: "When Victoria and David left the UK they thought they had left this kind of thing behind them. It's now just an extremely stressful time for her."

Victoria's American Dream About To Come True ?

Victoria Beckham's dream of gracing the cover of American Vogue may be about to become a reality.

The fashion bible’s editor, Anna Wintour, has revealed to me that she is a ‘big fan’ of the singer-turned-designer and that a cover shoot could be in the pipeline.

Victoria, 36, has already appeared on the cover of the British, Russian, German, Indian and, most recently, Turkish editions of Vogue.

Now it appears that years of trying to convince Wintour she is worthy of the coveted U.S. cover may be about to pay off for the former Posh Spice.

‘We’re big fans of Victoria so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that we will put her on the cover,’ Wintour told me while in the front row of Nicole Farhi’s London Fashion Week show.

However, Wintour – known as ‘Nuclear Wintour’ because of her legendary frostiness – would not be drawn on a date for a shoot. 

Fashion insiders say she was impressed with Victoria’s latest dress collection which she showed at New York Fashion Week. Wintour was quoted afterwards as saying: ‘Don’t under estimate her.’

Victoria went up in Wintour’s estimation after she had her implanted breasts reduced – taking her from a busty 34DD to a more fashionable B cup. Wintour had described the implants as ‘ridiculous’.

News of the possible Vogue shoot comes at the end of a difficult week for Victoria. Prostitute Irma Nici claimed in a U.S. magazine she slept with her husband David in 2007, an allegation the footballer strenuously denies. 

On a lighter note, Wintour also let slip that Vogue’s European editor Hamish Bowles does an excellent impression of Victoria.

‘It is spot-on. Ask him to do it!’ she urged me. Sadly, Mr Bowles declined to give a rendition.

Wintour kept waiting...

It takes a brave man to keep Anna Wintour waiting, but Detmar Blow, widower of style icon Isabella, did just that at London’s exclusive nightclub Annabel’s last week.

Wintour was left twiddling her thumbs when Detmar arrived more than half an hour late to launch his book, Blow By Blow, about his wife, who committed suicide in 2007.

There was further embarrassment when the manager had to waive the incredibly strict dress code for some of the group whose clothes were too ‘eccentric’.

‘All guests breaking the rules were ushered quietly through to a private room, and informed that under no circumstances were they allowed to go to the dancefloor or mingle with members,’ says a spy.

David Beckham to Demand Front-Page Retraction

David Beckham is to demand a front-page retraction from US celebrity gossip magazine In Touch over allegations that he slept with a prostitute.

Beckham is understood to be planning legal action against the Bauer Media-owned title for defamation and slander. His lawyers will demand that the magazine does not repeat the allegations and prints a retraction on its front page.

The legal action is believed to be imminent, with the documents still awaiting Beckham's signature. His representative sent legal warnings to Bauer before the magazine was published warning that if the allegations were made in print, he would take legal action.

The former England football captain is planning to launch lawsuits for malice in the US and for defamation and slander in Germany, where the magazine is also published.

Beckham, who is represented by London law firm Harbottle & Lewis and in the US by Bert Deixler, is restricted in the territories he can take legal action because the allegations were not published on the In Touch website outside the US. However, the claims have been widely reported in UK newspapers today.

Beckham's representatives are also looking to take legal action against the woman at the centre of the allegations, Irma Nici, who describes herself on her website as the "world's most sought-after call girl".

"The allegations that have been made are completely untrue and totally ridiculous as the magazine was clearly told before publication," said a spokesman for Beckham, who is married to the former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham.

"Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it. We are taking legal action against the magazine."

A Bauer Media spokesman declined to comment.

David Beckham Takes Legal Action

Victoria Beckham is Kelly Hoppen's 'Best Friend'

Victoria Beckham would appear to have found an older role model in Kelly Hoppen.

"She is my best friend," the 51-year-old South African-born interior designer tells me at the GQ Man of the Year exhibition at the Richard Young Gallery in Kensington. "We Tweet each other constantly – she is just a great girl and really funny."

One wonders if Miss Hoppen would ever have David Beckham's 36-year-old wife endorse any of her lines? "Well she is writing the foreword for my next interiors book and I decorated her house so, in a way, I suppose she already does."

Hoppens next literary contribution to the world of interiors is called Kelly Hoppen Ideas and is scheduled for release in January.

Kim Kardashian Loves Victoria Beckham

Kim Kardashian says Victoria Beckham is her “style icon”. The reality TV star says Beckham’s dresses are perfect for her curvaceous figure.

“Victoria Beckham’s totally my style icon,” Kardashian said. “I wear her dresses constantly. There are some clothes out there I just can’t wear because of my body type. I definitely can’t wear short shorts! They’re not flattering! I also can’t wear anything too baggy, because being busty on top, looser fitting dresses almost make me look pregnant. I need to wear more fitted outfits. That’s why I love Victoria’s dresses so much — because they are so fitted and flattering for my body. I wear them all the time."

“I was so exited when Victoria tweeted me. I’ve met her once. We have some friends in common, she’s very sweet. I have to get a lot of my clothes customized.”

Meanwhile, Kim has reportedly split from boyfriend Miles Austin. “They broke up about a week ago,” a source said.

The source said that Kim — who has been traveling around Europe with her mom Kris Jenner — likes to take time out when her love life hits the skids.

“It’s typical after a break up for Kim to take some time by herself,” the source said.

“When she broke up with Reggie, she went to Mexico and now after her break with Miles she went to Europe. I’m sure they’ll be on-and-off again but at the moment, they are 100 percent definitely off.”

Victoria Beckham on The View

Victoria Beckham has revealed she wants her fashion line to be a celebration of womanly curves - despite being a rail thin size zero. The Spice Girl turned designer showed off the latest looks from her new Autumn Winter 2010 collection on US TV show The View today.

She said: 'For me, colour is always important. So I've got some strong colours this season. It's about texture, and also a lot of drapery. And I just want to celebrate a woman's curves. Although, you're right, I don't have that many myself.'

Host Barbara Walters said: 'I didn't say anything!'

Victoria added: 'I want to celebrate a woman's curves. I love a woman's body and I want to make women look and feel fantastic.'

She then showed off several looks from her fall collection, including her handbags, to applause from the studio audience. She said the bags were aimed at working mums - which means that they are 'chic' as well as spacious. She also joked that she plans to stick with designing, rather than return to her singing days with the Spice Girls.

Asked by Barbara Walters if she planned to perform again, Victoria, 36, joked: 'I don't think so. I was never really that good anyway!'

She also told how she would love to dress America's First Lady, Michelle Obama.

She said: 'I would love to. You know, I dressed Sarah Jessica Parker for an event at the White House so I'm getting there. I'm in the door!'

She also beamed with pride as Walters showed off the front page of fashion industry bible Women's Wear Daily [WWD], featuring one of Victoria's designs.

The mother-of-three said: 'It's been a real whirlwind. To be on the cover of WWD is such a big deal.'

Explaining that she designed it herself, she said: 'With this dress that was on the cover it was me in my studio, with a metre-and-a-half of parachute silk, draping it on myself and tying it in a knot and saying, "OK, what do I think?" And to look at where it started and see it on the cover, it is incredible, it really is a dream come true.'

She also set the record straight about comments she refused to use size zero models for her fashion shows. 'The tabloids said that I said that, and in actual fact I didn't,' she said.

'However it is something that I do agree with and take into consideration every season. I take my position very seriously. For me so long as the girls are healthy, aren't too young and [are] fit, that's what I'm looking for. I don't want a really, really skinny model.'

She admitted that she was a size zero herself - but said she was healthy. She said: 'I work out, I eat healthily, I'm running around after three children.'

She also weighed in on an earlier discussion the four female hosts were having about being bored of their own children. 'I wouldn't say I'm bored,' she said. 'I'm a bit fed up of having footballs kicked at me. Obviously they love soccer because of [dad] David [Beckham. Being a mum is hard. Being a working mum is extra hard.'

And she admitted that she might be living out fantasies of having a baby girl by dressing up the family's pet pooch, Coco.

She said: 'She does get a pedicure, yes. The kids really have a lot of fun with Coco. And yes, it is dog friendly nail polish. She's a bulldog, she needs all the help she can get! We tried to femninize her a little bit, make her feel sexy.'

When it was suggested that she might need to have a daughter, she said: 'One day if we're lucky enough. They're all [the other kids] getting so big.' And she poked fun at husband of 11 years, David.

She said: 'He's great, we're very lucky. He's a pain in the neck sometimes, don't get me wrong. I mean, he looks perfect...'

Meanwhile, everyone in the audience of the ABC network show got to take home a bottle of her signature perfume.

Victoria Beckham Goes for Biker Girl Chic

After years of failed attempts, Victoria has finally made it into U.S Vogue. The move by Anna Wintour - who has previously shunned the former Spice Girl - will no doubt come as a relief to Victoria, who has busy been courting the US editrice's attention. 

She revealed her delight at the full-page editorial today on social networking site Twitter: 'So exciting,Oct American Vogue writes about my new handbag collection! 'On newstands now!! Thank u'.

And the 36-year-old star looked every inch the fashionista as she teamed her biker girl chic outfit with long silver earrings and a studded belt for a dinner at Nobu.

it seems Victoria is following a bit of a theme at the moment as the next day she left her New York hotel wearing a pair of leather-look jeans and masculine blazer from her own collection.

She also carried her 'Victoria' bag from her new range - that so impressed Wintour - studded black heels and a pair of huge sunglasses.

Victoria is currently in New York to launch her fifth collection at fashion week, and has been working hard to promote the new range.

Despite making the cover of several international Vogue magazines, Victoria has always been desperate to impress the US counterpart.

'Victoria’s been on the cover of Turkish Vogue. It’s her fifth cover for international editions, but there’s still no offer from US Vogue,' a source told Now magazine.

'She’s dreamed of being on that cover since she was little.

'Right now she’s on an all-out charm offensive and has been sending Anna flowers and notes for the past few weeks to get noticed.'

Looks like the hard work paid off. Victoria was spotted leaving her hotel in Manhattan for an interview on U.S. TV show The View to talk about the collection, and tweeted: 'Taping a fashion segment for The View to air Friday. I love the ladies of The View!!!! Hope you watch. X VB x'

She then added: 'On the way to The View. Wearing #vbeckham denim and jacket, first outing for Victoria bag!!!!'

The Victoria bag is one of the accessories in the Spring/Summer 2011 collection, and one which the mother-of-three is particularly proud.

Victoria apparently has high hopes for her bag range, which was designed with the consultation of accessories designer Katie Hillier, and was said to have been overheard telling a friend that: 'A Beckham could replace your Birkin', referring to the Hermes Birkin bag of which Victoria is so fond.
