David Beckham's dapper suit helped him fit right in while rubbing elbows with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in London yesterday. Becks showed the PM around his soccer academy after having a meeting with him earlier in the week. The always polite Beckham was honored to give the political figure a tour, and said he was "incredibly proud to have the prime minister visit and recognize the success of the academy." Both men are such superpowers overseas and it's always wonderful when celebrities and politics can work together, and on that note — welcome CitizenSugar!

The Golden Globes may not be going on as hoped, but that doesn't mean that the swag suites will all go to waste. Some — sorry guys — not-so-A-Listers were out in LA yesterday at the Kari Feinstein Winter Style Lounge to get their hands on some of the free stuff. Some of the first in line included Entourage's Emmanuelle Chriqui, Rex Lee, and Jeremy Piven. Chuck's Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez brought a whole new level of meaning to posing fiercely in their fur vests. I'm sure they took those bad boys home. I'm thinking that most of the actual nominees who are boycotting the awards won't be swooping in to snag the swag, but who knows, perhaps the draw of free free free is too much to bear for some.

Meanwhile, Lauren Conrad made sure to be seen posing with the goods — she's never one to miss an event after all. Check out the video after the jump where she, Whitney, and Audrina respond to the rumors that Kristin Cavallari is joining The Hills.

After her quick trip to Mexico, Britney was back in LA with Adnan Ghalib last night. She cuddled up with a pup (find out how to get London's cute sweater here), before pulling out the pink wig and trashy jacket to hit up the gas stations. Not exactly classy, but a bit of good news is that Britney hasn't been abusing her boys. Last week Jayden James was taken to the hospital along with his mom to get some bruises checked out, but it turns out that they were bites from Sean Preston. Sad and alarming to hear about the bruises, but thankfully everyone is healing right now.

Ashley Tisdale was all about comfort while hitting the stores in LA yesterday. In true high school fashion, Tisdale was talking to us through her clothes or in this case her hat. Perhaps she's trying to tell us that she's over all the plastic surgery buzz she created last month. Ashley's already moving on and trying to prove that her nose job won't ruin her career by signing on for her first major movie role. Unfortunately, the movie about alien invasion doesn't sound like much of a winner.
