As his wife jetted out of LA yesterday, David Beckham was in a rush of his own. Looks like being sidelined during his Galaxy games hasn't slowed him down too much, although he definitely looks a lot sillier with a Ron Herman shopping bag in hand than a soccer ball at his feet. We hope David was just running late and there wasn't a serious emergency — maybe he was just picking up a surprise for Posh while she's out of town and was trying to keep it secret from the photographers.

Despite stories that Lindsay Lohan would be staying in rehab at Cirque Lodge until at least October 15th, this morning's Gatecrasher reports that friends say she'll be busting out of there this weekend. Lindsay has been at Cirque since the first weekend in August and while there has gotten out of her jail time, reconciled with her father and been accused of breaking up a marriage (which her rep denies). Not bad for being all the way in Utah.

Plus, she seems to be in good spirits these days, maintaining her trademark attitude over the weekend in this sassy "Don't Follow Me" jacket and later a sticker on her ass that says "Hello My Name Is: Sober Fun!" Hopefully these are all good signs for LL, and if she does decide to leave Cirque Lodge this weekend she can keep herself sober, healthy and happy wherever she decides to live.

Matilda got a free shoulder ride around New York this weekend courtesy of her daddy. Even though Heath may be moving on from Michelle with Helena Christensen or any other group of young cute girls wanting to hang out with him at his new soho apartment - it's clear the number one girl is his life is little Matilda.

As for Heath himself, even out of his beloved Wayfarers, he's still not looking as good as he once did. However, that doesn't seem to be hurting his many opportunites with the ladies. Besides, we's rather focus our attention on his mini-me and her adorable pink hat. (Note to self - get one of those for Katie.)
