Victoria Reveals Romeo Has Epilepsy

We had seen the Beckhams make multiple hospital trips but not until now do we know the real reason why.

We had seen the Beckhams make multiple hospital trips but not until now do we know the real reason why. The rumors about Romeo can be put to rest since Victoria supposedly admitted the news in order to keep her son safe from the photographers' flashbulbs. Romeo has epilepsy and it's so serious he's been rushed to the hospital four times in the last three years. He's being treated but even with the drugs, flash photography can still cause a seizure. Victoria admitted to Romeo's condition when the paparazzi started aggressively taking the boy's picture. Here's more:

The frightened youngster reacted violently after being photographed at Heathrow last Saturday as he returned to Britain from Madrid with Posh and brothers Brooklyn, seven, and Cruz, one. Initially he shielded his eyes against the flashes as his mother pushed him through the terminal building in his buggy and out to a waiting car.

He then started screaming in terror and lashing out with his legs as one photographer pressed his camera inside the car and started flashing. Only then did horrified Posh, 32, reveal the truth about brave Romeo's dangerous condition. She pulled her blond-headed son to her, shielded him from the lights and yelled: "Leave him alone. He's got epilepsy. All that flashing will start an epileptic fit. You can't do that!"

Kevin Smith — owner of Splash news, the agency that took the shot —said: "No picture is worth putting a child's life in danger. Now that we know Romeo has epilepsy I will not be authorising any of my photographers to take flash pictures of him. I think this is absolutely the right thing to do and I hope other agencies follow suit."

We like when the agencies realize there is no reason to put these folks in danger - especially the kids. Let's hope other photo agencies leave little Romeo alone also.

Madonna

Madonna the Material Momma

Madonna is evidently sparing no expense on her new baby David.

Madonna is evidently sparing no expense on her new baby David. Between promoting her new children's book, and doing the talk show circuit to discuss her recent adoption, she's somehow figured out a way to spend a small fortune on baby furniture and toys for David. Here's more:

MADONNA is building a safari-themed nursery for her adopted Malawian tot David Banda. She has ordered £15,000 of furniture for the 13-month-old’s room in her Los Angeles home.

It includes a £1,600 cot, £500 bedding and £1,300 changing table from trendy US kids’ store Petit Tresor.

A store insider said: “She bought a load of African-themed stuff.”

Whoever works at Petit Tresor has a big mouth. They are always blabbing about what celebs buy. I guess they do have some really cute stuff and clearly Madge wants David to have the best since she is spending almost $30,000. For more pics of Madonna in NYC just read more

Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth Dresses Up for the Derby

We knew Kate was excited about her derby duties but we had no idea she would pull a presto chango.

We knew Kate was excited about her derby duties but we had no idea she would pull a presto chango. Kate wore two different dresses to the same event since she was evidently trying to adhere to the traditional black and white color scheme. At least she admits she looks like she is in a costume. She says, "I am having such a great time. I would liken it to a large costume ball. I missed Halloween, although this is Halloween with more class." I guess this Halloween costume is better than the slutty ones most of young Hollywood was sporting this year. As for her headpiece, I thought people were supposed to wear big hats to Derbys?

Jude Law

Jude Law Life Imitates Art

Isn't it interesting that the night before Jude Law's premiere for his latest movie, Breaking and Entering his ex-wife and children were actually robbed.

Isn't it interesting that the night before Jude Law's premiere for his latest movie, Breaking and Entering his ex-wife and children were actually robbed. Scary but true. Luckily everyone was OK but it sure made for a great story for Jude while promoting the film. Here's more:

The day before his latest premiere, the London house of Law's ex-wife Sadie Frost was burgled while she and her children were asleep.

Thieves are thought to have entered Frost's house in Primrose Hill between midnight and 0800 BST on Thursday.

They made off with Frost's Range Rover which was parked outside after taking the keys from the house.

Asked about the burglary, Law said: "I was particularly worried because the kids were in the house, and I think that is a very different type of burglar to one that breaks into empty offices and takes computers at night."

Looks like it's just another reason for Jude to complain that he is broke. Check out more pics of Jude in all black in London so read more

Nicky Hilton

Nicky Hilton Not A Hotel Designer?

While Paris was busy partying with Nicole, Nicky was in Miami for the Give A Lift For Paralysis Benefit Press Conference where she announced her hosting duties.

While Paris was busy partying with Nicole, Nicky was in Miami for the Give A Lift For Paralysis Benefit Press Conference where she announced her hosting duties. Nicky sure has been spending a lot of time in Miami these days. First the hotel and now for charity benefits. Nicky is the sister that definitely wants to create things as opposed to Paris who just likes to have her picture taken. However, Nicky is now facing rumors that she really had nothing to do with designing her new hotel. Well at least she shows support for the city and for charity events.

In the meantime, if you have $1,500 to donate to a good cause, the event that Nicky will be hosting is on December 9th and you will also get a sneak peek at Nicky's new hotel. Click here for more. More pics of Nicky so read more

Rachel Bilson

The OC Bonus Episode This Week

These photos of Rachel are old but we have some news on The OC so we thought we would bring them back out since they are so fabulous.

These photos of Rachel are old but we have some news on The OC so we thought we would bring them back out since they are so fabulous. So the season premiere of The OC was such a disappointment for FOX that they are reshuffling their schedule this week to save the once beloved program. It's also sweeps so desperate measures are made during this time. Here's more:

Given the devoted service performed by "The O.C." in recent years, FOX announced Friday that the season's second episode, "The Gringos," will air on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 9 p.m. ET after "Bones." The following night, FOX will air another new "O.C." episode, "The Cold Turkey," in the same Thursday 9 p.m. slot where early estimates had the show bringing in under 3.4 million viewers this week. Although FOX presents this as a one-week move, it's expected that if "The O.C." is able to deliver a better audience in the Wednesday hour, the show will make a permanent move to that night, where there may be more free-floating viewers after "Lost" goes on its upcoming hiatus.

Let's hope it's the actual show that gets better and not lack of competition. We're pulling for you OC. Lots more beautiful pics of Rachel so read more
