Victoria Beckham and her husband and all-world soccer star David Beckham have taken America by storm with nearly nothing on. The gorgeous British couple posed for some extremely hot "W" magazine photos that started the buzz and now it is Posh mania in America. The photo shoot was a good start but it was only the beginning of a Posh media blitz. Victoria Beckham Hot Victoria Beckham Hot "W" Photos Just the Beginning of Posh Media Blitz She looked stunning strolling the streets of New York with Matt Lauer on the NBC Today show. She appeared on the Tonight Show with her new neighbor Jay Leno and joked with the host about such things as using a "blow-up doll" dressed like her top fool the paparazzi and also phone radio host Ryan Seacrest. Per Us Weekly Magazine on Friday morning, Beckham, 33, dished about her hatred of flip-flops, her non-existent smile and the family’s surprise welcome to their new home Stateside. Read on for excerpts from this morning’s chat: On Arriving in America via LAX: "It was incredible, because we know people kind of have an idea who we are here in America, but there are so many famous people and we weren't expecting anything like that. People were being so kind and waving and it was a fantastic welcoming." On Keeping Her Kids Out of the Spotlight: "We like to try to protect their privacy as much as possible. The kids actually think they're moving to Disneyland!" On Getting Her Drivers License: “It was quite tricky. I was driving an SUV or something. It felt like I was driving the Titanic down the wrong side of the road! The worst thing about it was that I had to wear flip-flops to drive it, and I never take my heels off for anything or anybody!" On Smiling for Cameras: "I'm really, really want to but maybe I'm just a bit more self-conscious. I'm really going to try more now that I'm moving to America, because you all smile so much and have such great pearly whites. I've just never been a big, big smiler.” On Fame: “People are going to take lots of pictures, but then they're going to realize that we're actually quite boring. We keep to ourselves at home. You've got so many people in LA that are so much more famous than us. People will realize that the most exciting thing I do is get my nails done."

Could Better Drug Tests Have Saved Chris Benoit and His Wife and Son?


World Wrestling Entertainment has a steroids testing plan in place. Is it enough? Could better testing have saved Chris Benoit and his wife and son? The debate is now nearly four weeks old. But it will not go away thanks to cable TV show and the World Wide Web. It hit a fairly furious point on the CNN nightly show that is hosted by Nancy grace on Friday night. First Bryan Alvarez delivered this: "According to the policy that WWE released after they had the meeting explaining that this was going to be done, the policy says that they test your testosterone to epitestosterone ratio. And if you've got a 4-to-1 or below, you pass. If you have a 10-to-1, it's an automatic failure. If you're between 4-to-1 and 10-to-1, as David Finlay said, they're going to talk to your doctor. They're going to make sure that everything is OK. They're going to make sure that your ratios are this high perhaps because this is what you're producing naturally." He added, "However, the policy also states that you can use testosterone and such for purposes of injury rehabilitation and purposes of replacement therapy. So if your doctor says that this is why you've got these prescriptions, you're OK. That was challenged by Dave Finlay. "No, it won't. And what does he know? He's never been in the doors of WWE. I'm there every single day. I'm on the road four days a week. I know what the policy is. I went through it, and I have a lot of talent with me that have gone through it. It's garbage. It's just pure speculation. There's a definite strong in-force testing going on. And just because you got the script doesn't mean you're going to get away with it. Dr. Black may just turn around and say, That is -- I don't -- I don't accept it..." Bryan Alvarez shot back, "I have taken this specifically from the WWE policy, and I talked to Jerry McDivett (ph), who is the WWE attorney, who explained the testosterone replacement therapy part of this." There are at times sop many voice it becomes nothing more than background noise. Are WWE wrestlers and supporters only defending their policies because the wolves are at the door? Government oversight is always a bad answer but it might be the only one if wrestling can't explain its policies and police itself.

Paris Hilton: What Will The Police Investigate Next?


Authorities involved in Paris Hilton’s imprisonment have opened an investigation, after allegations were made that during her 23 days in jail Paris Hilton received special treatment. Paris was sentenced to do jail time for violating her probation for driving around like a drunken mor– for a DUI. I think Nicole Richie probably talked her Steve Whitemore, the Sheriff’s spokesperson said they were also accusations that Paris received a new jail uniform instead of the recycled ones given to the other inmates, and that Paris’s mail was delivered by a captain instead of inmate trusties. Well, my god, isn’t that horrible? The sheriff’s department had some serious looking-into when Sheriff Lee Baca let Paris Hilton out of jail after just three days for “medical reasons.” Funny how no one knows what the hell was wrong with her… but we all know the name of her dog. She was sent right back one night later. Whitemore, who sounds real sincere here, says, “We’re going to investigate it and get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what happened.” The sheriff’s department is also looking into whether or not Paris was allowed to use a cordless phone instead of waiting in line with the other inmates forever, to use a pay phone during certain hours. Once again, big deal. People kill each other in jail, and they’re investigating her getting her mail from a captain, getting a new uniform, and using a cordless phone? Nice to see the police are really doing their jobs. These accusations, were brought up to the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs by union members, according to the Los Angeles Times’ Web site.

Victoria Beckham was stunned with her Los Angeles welcome at LAX airport on Thursday night (12Jul07) - because she expected the family's arrival to be a quiet affair. The Spice Girls singer, her soccer star husband David and their three sons were met by an army of paparazzi and well-wishers. She says, "It was incredible... We know that people kind of have an idea who we are here in America... but we weren't expecting anything like that. "Everyone was so kind and saying, 'Welcome to America...' It was a fantastic welcoming. It was really, really great." And she admits her sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz have already fallen in love with their new home: "The kids actually think they're moving to Disneyland." Beckham joined her husband as he was officially introduced to fans and media at his new soccer team the L.A. Galaxy's home stadium in Carson, California on Friday (13Jul07).

Dog day afternoon for Britney


t was a busy shopping day for Britney Spears. She stopped by a sports store in the San Fernando Valley to pick up a tennis racquet and some balls, stopping inside to test the thing by hitting a few air shots before she plonked down $145. Then, on the way home she hit the pet store to pick up a new puppy. No word on the name yet. Hopefully she'll do her best Cesar Milan on the poor thing and get it acquainted with the Brit pack before heading off to the court! More pics coming soon!

Pregnant Naomi Watts is so cute, looks ready


Naomi Watts looks like she’s ready to have her baby any day now. I was big like that, although I was a lot heavier than she is while in the late stages of pregnancy, and my son was two weeks late and weighed almost nine pounds. Her boyfriend Liev Schreiber said they don’t want to know the sex of their baby and that they want to wait to find out until the birth. Is it a decent guess to say she’s having a boy because she’s big or is it hard to tell? I had one waiter tell me he could tell I was having a boy because my face had changed or something. I think that was a nice way of saying I was fat. Stars don’t let the world know exactly when they’re due because they want some privacy. I wish I had kept my due date a secret too since people bugged me a lot in the 14 days I waited for my son to arrive after he was due. Due dates are just an estimation, and from what I remember reading first babies are often “late.” Naomi was seen out with a friend in West Hollywood yesterday. Thanks to Splash News for these pictures.

Kelly Clarkson Is Set For Life


Kelly Clarkson sat down with Readers Digest to discuss her new album. Yesterday I posted highlights from her Blender Magazine interview. I just love Kelly, she’s one of my favorites. Here is what she has to say about American Idol fashion and Money: On American Idol: “I did my own hair and makeup for the first half of the shows. What you saw us wearing was our stuff from home. We’d be in a magazine under the heading ‘What Was She Thinking?’ I was like, I’m thinking I ain’t got no money.” On money: “I have saved and saved, and I don’t have to work another day. When I won Idol and started working with a business manager, she asked, ‘What do you want?’ I was like, I don’t ever want to have to make a decision because I need money. So we accomplished that two years ago, and I’m set.”
