Posh: another baby and S&M fears
Victoria Beckham’s new favourite book – spare me – is 50 Shades o f Grey. In a new interview with Glamour magazine, she admits she’s hooked her mother on the phenomenon, too: “I’m halfway through the second one. I even bought my mum the book! But every time she tries to engage in conversation about it, I kind of dodge the subject. I don’t really want to talk to my mother about S&M.”
I’m with your sister (wow, I never thought I’d say those words in association with Posh). I got all freaked out when my mother told me she’d read the trilogy and wanted to debrief.
In other crazy Posh news, she reckons she’d consider having another baby. How the fark does a woman that small (Lainey Gossip got an email from a fan last week who met Posh at the pub – loving – and reckons “she was TINY! Like i can put you in my pocket tiny!”) get pregnant in the first place. One of life’s great mysteries.
Here’s what she had to say about the future of her family and career: “I’d like everybody to be healthy and happy. I’d like to be growing the business at a steady pace, and to be making more women feel empowered, beautiful, and confident. And I’d never say never about another baby. It’s a juggling act—a career, family, a husband who’s busy. But I’d never say never!”
What’s with all this crap about “everybody” being “healthy”? Is that everyone except her? Because only eating lettuce isn’t healthy. And how does she convince herself that looking like a walking skeleton will make women feel empowered, beautiful and confident? The woman is DELUSIONAL!
David Beckham, on the other hand, is looking mighty fine on the cover of UK Esquire this month. There’s even video of the cover shoot, (click here to see it) but I haven’t watched it, because I tend to find him a bit disappointing when he opens his mouth.
National Enquirer stands by its Macaulay expose
The National Enquirer is so confident it has its facts straight about Macauley Culkin having a drug addiction, that it posted an open letter to the actor on its website:
“Our advice to Macaulay is to seek professional help to avoid the same tragic fate of other beloved celebrities, including Whitney Houston who died earlier this year.
We believe that the former child star should be doing everything he can to get the treatment he so desperately needs – and which could have saved the life of his friend Elijah Rosello.
Her family confirmed to The ENQUIRER that she did drugs with Macaulay before her drug-related death in March.
Should Macaulay’s representatives continue to deny The ENQUIRER’s accurate and detailed report, we are ready to offer him the opportunity to take a blood test administered by an independent medical lab.
It is a fact that as The ENQUIRER tracked Whitney Houston’s descent into her drug hell, she refused to admit she had a problem – and Whitney was represented by some of those people now denying Macaulay’s potentially deadly problems.”
Why is Miley so snap happy?
Miley Cyrus has taken yet another disturbing Twitter pic of her scary-skinny frame.
“For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy,” Cyrus said back in April. “It’s not about weight – it’s about health. Gluten is crap anyway!”
Yeah, I had a gluten and lactose allergy once, but I didn’t get that thin.
The princes had no idea Granny was parachuting
When Queen Elizabeth II “parachuted” into the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games in a James Bond skit, no-one was more surprised than her own grandsons. The hilarious and surprisingly good-humoured acting job by the Queen was kept secret – even from her own family – right up until the moment it was aired globally.
“We were kept completely in the dark about it, that’s how big the secret was,” Prince William explained in a BBC interview over the weekend.
“Both of us were slightly surprised with our grandmother’s secret hobby of parachuting,” Harry added.
Cudos to the Queen!
John Travolta denies sex assault claims
John Travolta’s legal team has filed documents claiming that the cruise ship worker who claims Travolta sexually assaulted him in 2009 is lying.
As TMZ first reported: “Fabian Zanzi claims that Travolta exposed himself during a neck massage aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise … and offered to pay him $12,000 to keep the incident quiet. Zanzi detailed his allegations back on video in June.” (click on the TMZ link to see the video)
In court documents filed on Friday by “legal pitbull” Marty Singer “Travolta admits to being on cruise … but denies all the allegations of misconduct against him.”
Singer “also reiterates his point that Zanzi filed a report with Royal Caribbean over the alleged incident when it happened … but failed to mention any of the sexual details.”
Not really understanding the twisted logic behind that last bit (or even filing court documents at all, shouldn’t he be making it quietly go away?) but Travolta says he wants the lawsuit dismissed and for Zanzi to pay his attorney’s fees.

“Surrounded by family and friends, including Ivanka Trump, the pair exchanged vows after dark in a Jewish ceremony at a private home.”
