Happy Anniversary David and Victoria!
July 4, 2009 by Erin Balser
Today is David and Victoria Beckham’s 10th wedding anniversary. The couple is supposedly enjoying a super secluded vacation on Neckers Island, which probably explains the lack of sightings in the past few days.

The twosome were married in a lavish fairy tale wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. The media frenzy surrounding the wedding was insane and it’s been argued that David and Victoria jumpstarted the entire celebrity-wedding fascination trend. Here’s a wonderful video of some of the photographs of the wedding.
They’ve had a fascinating 10 years together as a couple, seeing David go from Manchester United to Real Madrid to Los Angeles Galaxy and to AC Milan and back again, seeing Victoria go from pop princess to fashion icon and a designer herself, raising a family of three young, active boys and still staying one of the most famous couples in the world.
I hope David and Victoria celebrate their day right and enjoy the next ten years together just as much!

David & Victoria Beckham’s Rumored Romantic Getaway
July 3, 2009 by Erin Balser
David and Victoria Beckham will be celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary this weekend, on July 4th. There’s been lots of rumors about what the couple is going to do to commemorate this special occasion, but the most pervasive rumor is that the twosome will be spending a romantic weekend on the ultra-exclusive Necker Island.
Necker Island is owned by media magnate Richard Branson. There is only one building on the entire island, a 14-bedroom mansion that can be rented for $51,000 per night!
It’s so exclusive that David apparently had to even call in a few favors to make sure he got his reservation, The Sun claims. Their source reported that:
Becks has pulled in a few favours. He has bought Victoria a lot of other gifts to mark the occasion but the big surprise is the holiday to Necker. Richard Branson owns the paradise island and sorted the trip out, including all the travel arrangements. It will be something to remember.
I’m sure it will be! And with that much space, it will be easy to balance a romantic time with family fun if they decide to bring the boys along.
Regardless of what Victoria and David decide to do, I wish them the best! Happy Anniversary!

David & Victoria Beckham’s Fall 2009 Armani Ads
July 2, 2009 by Erin Balser
Giogrio Armani unveiled the new Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2009 ads starring David and Victoria Beckham and boy are they hot! These ads just keep getting better and better.

Shot by renowned photographers Merta Alas and Marcus Piggott in Milan, these ads will be featured in magazines and billboards for the rest of the summer.

The couple also starred in the Spring/Summer 2009 campaign together, which you can see here. Which set of ads do you like better? I’m not the biggest fan of David and Victoria’s hair here, so the older ads win for me! I’m still excited to see the future ads David and Victoria do together, though. They’ve signed on as models for Emporio Armani until 2010.

June 29, 2009 by Erin Balser
Just yesterday we learned that Victoria Beckham was overhauling her denim line, dvb style. Today, we learned that she partnered with Cutler and Gross to redesign her sunglasses line as well! Cutler and Gross are also overseeing the redesign of the jeans line, Eyesway reports.

Cutler and Gross have been making eyewear for over 40 years and brings loads of experience and expertise to the table. Victoria was very smart to go with this company.
The new denim and eyewear lines are expected to debut in spring 2010. I’m really excited to see what the new styles look like!

David, Victoria & Boys Celebrate David’s Mom’s 60th Birthday
June 29, 2009 by Erin Balser
Yesterday was David Beckham’s mother, Sandra’s, 60th birthday! The whole family was on hand to celebrate this grand occasion. The family held a surprise dinner for the proud mum at a restaurant her her home in Essex.

They did their best to keep the event a secret from the paparazzi as much as from Sandra. The ploy worked because the paparazzi only got a few shots of the family as they left the restaurant, meaning they enjoyed their dinner in peace.

“They crept in through the back so they could surprise the birthday girl. There were gasps of delight when they walked in with a lot of hugs and kisses,” an eyewitness tells the Mirror. “After the meal David gave a speech about his mum. It was just like any other family birthday party. Their children were running around with all the other kids.”
Victoria looked gorgeous in a one-shouldered black dress and the boys (including David!) were adorable all dressed up. What a wonderful surprise for Sandra, as she probably wasn’t expecting to see her son and grandsons!

Victoria Beckham Revamping Denim Line
June 28, 2009 by Erin Balser
Victoria Beckham’s dress collection the Victoria Beckham Collection has been a smashing success. With this newfound fashion confidence, Victoria is now looking ahead to revamping her jeans line, dvb style. Last year, there were constant rumors about how the line was doing poorly and could often be found in the discount bins. Now that she’s a fashion superstar, Posh wants to make sure that doesn’t happen again!
According to the Daily Mail, Victoria has let go Rock & Republic, with whom she used to collaborate on her denim line with. While the new production team is still unknown to the public, her representative assures us it’s a brand new team.
“One of the girls is a denim specialist. Victoria makes out she’s hands-on, but she doesn’t sit there cutting patterns,” the Daily Mail’s source says.
The spokesperson for Victoria promises us that the new look for the line will launch next year!
I’m really excited to see the new line and am wondering what direction Victoria will take it. Will it be more high fashion to compliment her dress line? Or will it be more lower grade and contemporary to appease her fan base who can’t necessarily afford her higher end dresses? Whichever direction she goes, I’m excited to see it!

David Beckham Awarded Damages from the Daily Star
June 24, 2009 by Erin Balser
David Beckham won his libel charge against the Daily Star for their false story about him hitting on Hungarian model Mariann Fogarasy at a party after an AC Milan match.
According to the report, David asked the model for her number, then repeatedly invited her to a “private party.” Express Group Newspapers, which owns the Daily Star, is expected to pay out the damages in the next few weeks. The Daily Star also issued an apology to David earlier this month.
The BBC is reporting that the damages awarded are “substantial.” The total award was not revealed, but I’m sure David is more pleased about having his name cleared and receiving an apology than about the cash.
This great news comes just as the family is getting back from their vacation in the French Riveria. Pop Sugar has photos of David, Victoria and their boys at the airport, getting ready to head home. I’m glad they enjoyed such a private, stress-free vacation together. While I’m glad they got some time away, I’m looking forward to seeing the family out and about again!

Beckham Family Portraits to Celebrate 10th Year Anniversary
June 22, 2009 by Erin Balser
According to the oh-so-reliable News of the World, David and Victoria Beckham are planning to celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary (July 4th!) by unveiling new family portraits. As far as tabloid reports go, this one is very sweet.

“They’re going to pose for some romantic photos, and then have a big family photo with their three boys,” their source reports. “The Beckhams want to unveil the photos in front of everyone on their big night on July 4th.”
I think this is a sweet idea. It’s always fun to document a growing family and what better occasion to get official family photos done than on a milestone like your 10th anniversary? As mcuh as I would honor the Beckhams’ privacy, I hope we get to see at least one of the photos.
The weird part of the rumor is that the Beckhams have asked Canadian singer Bryan Adams to take the photos. I had no idea Bryan was even a photographer or that the Beckhams even knew him! Mel C collaborated with Bryan way back when the Spice Girls were still together on his single “When You’re Gone.” Other than that? No clue!

PETA Attacks Victoria Beckham for Hermes Bag Collection
June 20, 2009 by Erin Balser
PETA has found a new celebrity to attack: Victoria Beckham. The animal activist organization has jumped on Victoria after it was revealed the Hermes now farms crocodiles in order to keep up with the demand for their luxury crocodile skin handbags. Victoria is an avid collector of the brand, and is rumored to have over 100 of their bags and her collection is worth over $2 million.
PETA is confident that Victoria will see their side of this case, as Victoria doesn’t wear fur.
‘We will send Victoria Beckham, a compassionate person who won’t wear fur, our undercover footage that shows how alligators and crocodiles are beaten to death and how snakes are nailed to trees and skinned alive for these products,” the organization said in a statement to the Daily Mail. “If Hermes really wants to be a leader in the fashion industry, it should stop killing animals for cold-blooded vanity and use cruelty-free mock croc and fake snake instead.”
The CEO of Hermes, Patrick Thomas, admitted it takes 3 or 4 crocodiles to make a single handbag and that Hermes produces over 3,000 crocodile skin handbags per year.
The Daily Mail article has a lot more information about crocodile farming and how that industry works. It’s as fascinating as it is appalling. It will be interesting to see if PETA’s campaign has any effect on Victoria. She doesn’t wear real fur, but she does wear leather. Where do you think she’ll draw the line?

London House Hunting Rumors for the Beckhams
June 19, 2009 by Erin Balser
When the Beckhams go on vacation, the tabloids have to get a little creative! The latest rumor is that Victoria and David are looking for a second home in London, one that’s more accessible than Beckhamingham Palace in Hertfordshire.
With Victoria’s atelier based n London and with David playing often for the England National team, it makes sense they could have a quick, little (for them!) place in the heart of London to go back and forth from. It would certainly be easier than staying in a hotel for an extended period of time.
The Sun is even reporting that to make this sale, the Beckhams are looking to sell their home in the South of France.
“They fell in love with the place when they first saw it but now Victoria thinks it’s a too far away from the action,” their source claims. “They’re there now and will come to a decision when their holiday comes to an end.”
While this is only a rumor at this point, it’s a move that makes sense for the couple. Good luck selling, though! I know the couple has had a hard time selling their house in Madrid and still own it.
