 Sports Illustrated and W Magazine both herald the coming of Beckham.
- British baller-turned-actor Vinnie Jones offers a word of warning to David Beckham: "There will
be people going to the Galaxy who have never been to a football match
in their lives and they won't give a shit whether he plays well,
badly or whatever because they won't be watching the game. They'll be
watching him. But how long will that last? Personally I think that
after maybe six months people will start thinking, 'OK, we've done
that now. What's Lindsay Lohan up to?'"

- The PR machine is in overdrive, but Victoria Beckham has her work
cut out for her. US Weekly's Melanie Bromley tells Reuters: "She is coming over here as a
mega-star and there is all this buzz, but Americans are curious to
know why. To have a new superstar for us to obsess about and analyze
would be a welcome relief. But for Victoria to become one of those
people, she will have to get some personality. At the moment, she's a
slightly two-dimensional character for Americans."
- Victoria Beckham at least has some self-awareness. "Have
you seen Spice World? I don't think I'm that good at acting." Her
singing isn't much to listen to either, but that never stopped her.

- The Spice Girls may record the single for BBC's Children in
Need charity program.
(The Times)

family to live with Preston in Brighton was a major reason for their
divorce. "I found living in Brighton very hard...I had no family, no
friends and it was a really hard time for me."

- An early photo of Kylie Minogue with David Tennant on Doctor Who. "The singer has been cast as Astrid,
a waitress on the Titanic, in the show's Titantic-themed Christmas
special, 'Voyage of the Damned'."
(Daily Mail)
- Kylie Minogue made twice as much money the year she took off for
cancer treatment than she did the previous year.
(Mirror)
- OK, I'm a huge Morrissey fan, and even I think this is a bit bonkers: fans are
urging people to boycott sponsors of the The Late Show with David
Letterman over a gag on the show that some viewers found insulting to His Mozness. Read the absolutely cuckoo missive that's making the Internet rounds: it will surely tickle your ribs.
- Take That's song, "Rule The World," for the movie Stardust

(BBC)
- Danielle Lloyd enjoyed a "marathon sex session" with rapper 50 Cent last weekend,
reports The Mirror. "We're told: 'Danielle was bragging to pals about

than one.' And according to a bystander: 'She looked a bit wobbly
after her late night.'"

image.

campaigning to get more funds allocated to youth projects.
(The Sun)
- I was going to post a link to yesterday's Daily Mail story claiming
that a pregnant Charlotte Church had split from Gavin
Henson due to alleged infidelity. The article at the Mail
website was swiftly pulled, however, so I knew something had
happened. Starpulse reports
that Charlotte and Gavin both deny a split and that Charlotte may
file a complaint against the London Lite paper, which started all
this mess.
