David Beckham did his best to turn his time in Sydney into a little vacation yesterday, relaxing on a yacht and signing autographs for fans before his big game with the Galaxy. Becks looks happy to be fulfilling his duties around the world, but spending all this time away from his family gets tough. Yesterday he stopped by This Morning, an ITV talk show where he couldn't help but gush about his adorable boys. Here are highlights:
On the boys' accents:
"They sound as if they are from London and that is how I want them to sound, but they are getting little parts of an American accent."
On taking the boys to see the Spice Girls:
"Victoria says, 'All our boys know what daddy does, he plays football in front of all these people, but they have never seen what mummy used to do' and so that was one of the reasons why she wanted to do it and it will be amazing, all the boys are going to love it.
On the family's Christmas plans:
"We are going to be back in England, I love London, I love being back in England, I love being back in London, it is where I am from and where Victoria is from and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without being back here."
As much as we love having the Beckhams here in the states, it seems as if it's never going to be a place they call home. The good news is America is rubbing off on them a little as David revealed that his son Romeo is using words like "awesome" and is the performer of the family even dubbing him the next Justin Timberlake. Cute - we can envision it now!
As if to show the world that the rumors of baby shower photo betrayal are false, Nicole Richie met for a friendly (and peaceful, if you can ever call it that with the paparazzi) lunch with Paris and Nicky Hilton at Forte in LA yesterday. Nicole is so big these days (and those photographers can get some pretty great perspectives)! Between the baby showers and mom-to-be lunching, it looks like Miss Paris is jockeying for that coveted godmother position. Let's just hope that if Nicole and Joel choose her, they don't let the heiress pass her fashion sense (or, um, habits) along to their precious little one.
Suri Cruise must have heard the Spice Girls first two reunion shows were a success, because she couldn't resist stopping by their rehearsal over the weekend. Tom, Katie and little Suri popped in to wish their friend Victoria and all the other SGs luck on their tour and were lucky enough to get an impromptu performance. Victoria said, "David and I are great friends with Tom and Katie...It was lovely of them to come down to rehearsals, a really nice surprise. Katie has told me before that she used to be a big Spice fan so it was great for her to meet the other girls.” Suri even showed off some dance moves (no doubt inherited from dad, ha).
In other Spice Girls news, a fake email went out this weekend claiming that they canceled their Buenos Aires show due to such a high demand in the US and UK. The girls quickly updated their website reassuring fans that this is not the case. Their tour officially kicks off Dec 2!
Marcia Cross and her husband Tom Mahoney started stocking up on Christmas decorations in LA this weekend. Judging from the size of that nutcracker, it looks like this couple has some big ideas in mind for the holidays. Last night on Desperate Housewives Bree had a little bit of trouble keeping her family together, but off-screen Marcia and her husband seem to be ready for a happy and healthy holiday season with their adorable twins.
The day before Thanksgiving Fergie was sipping on her Jamba juice and the day after she went for a power walk with her parents in LA. We wouldn't expect anything less from a girl who's so fit. Dad was kind enough to point out the paparazzi while Fergie kept it cool but deep down dad might have actually embarrassed her. We hope they enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving with Josh - we only wish he joined them for the nice stroll outside.
Nicky Hilton was spotted leaving The Ivy restaurant after a day of shopping with sister Paris. Her casual yet stylish outfit, which consisted of skinny jeans, tall black boots and an Alice + Olivia military blazer, was perfect for the occasion.
