Victoria Beckham Gives Birth to Harper Seven!
Posted on July 11th, 2011 at 6:03 am by Nick Crew
So the day we’ve all been waiting for has finally come… The birth of David and Victoria’s baby daughter, Harper Seven Beckham.
David Beckham announced the news on his Facebook page early yesterday morning saying; “I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.”
The football superstar also said that Victoria and baby Harper are doing really well and “her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister”…aww brings a smile and tears of joy to the eye doesn’t it.
We’ve had months of speculation of the name of the child, from Atlantis through to Justine Beiber Beckham but the Golden couple landed on the name Harper Seven…
So, where does a name like ‘Harper Seven’ come from? I hear you ask. Well, a close friend of the couple said: “Harper is an old English name something Victoria has always liked. Seven is a very lucky happy number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month.”
That maybe the case but I also suspect that the Seven part is to do with David’s legendary shirt number when he played for Manchester United and England.
This is the couple’s fourth child, a spokesperson said: “David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter. Happy and healthy she arrived at 7.55 am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family.”
As you’d expect, messages for congratulation to the Beckhams have been flooding in from everywhere. “Harper Seven” has even been a top 5 worldwide trending topic on twitter since the news broke… Straight into the media deep end for this one then, but we all knew it would be!
Tweets from friends and former spice girls, Mel B and Emma Bunton were ones of the first to congratulate. A pregnant Mel B wrote; ‘Congrats!!! Yipeee another spice baby is born, damn it wish it was me this AM cos I feel like I’m about to POP!’
While Emma, who also has recently given birth, wrote; ‘Big kiss to @victoriabeckham can’t wait to meet your gorgeous little girl!’
There’s even been a Royal interest in the birth as Prince William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, wished their close friends good luck for the arrival when they was in town last week…Who knows, maybe it’ll be their turn next???
I’d like to send my own congratulations to the lovely couple too. Its fantastic news and I wish the whole family the best of luck.
Will’s and Kate Grace July’s Vanity Fair Cover!
Posted on May 31st, 2011 at 7:39 pm by Nick Crew
The most talked about newly-weds will grace July’s cover of Vanity Fair with a never-before-seen photograph taken by top fashion photographer, Mario Testino, at the couple’s engagement last year.
In the edition Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton discuss life after their fairytale wedding, house-hunting and their upcoming trip to California, which will no doubt cause utter chaos in the sunshine state, as everyone will want to see the future King and Queen of Great Britain, no doubt.
So far, the pair has spent much time alone since their big day, which of course is only right, but photographer Testino gave us a little taster of how the Duke and Duchess were together when he spoke of them at a Gala in New York city.
Testino, who was also a close friend of William’s mother Diana, Princess of Wales, said Kate had a ‘natural grace’ and ‘looked fabulous,’ he also said the couple exuded ‘sheer happiness’ and that they were very much ‘a young couple in love’... Aww how lovely… It really is a fairytale!
Vanity Fair featuring the Royals will hit newsstands on the June 3, just ahead of Will’s and Kate’s visit to the states…
So paparazzi of California, get those cameras at the ready, the hottest couple on the planet are coming to town and are sure upstage every A-lister on Hollywood, that’s for sure!
Arise Dame Posh!? Victoria & Kate Become Good Mates…
Posted on March 22nd, 2011 at 9:53 am by Nick Crew
Victoria Beckham’s clothing line, dVb, has been worn by celebs the world over, but it now seems Royalty is jumping on the bandwagon, as Kate Middleton has expressed that she wants to wear Victoria designed evening gowns during her honeymoon.
It has been revealed that Prince William’s bride-to-be, Kate, absolutely loved Posh’s outfits after receiving the latest spring/summer collection from Victoria herself.
It was only last month when Victoria spoke of her admiration for Kate, saying; “She is a beautiful young girl, she has a wonderful figure and I think she wears clothes beautiful. I would be honored if she were to wear my design.”… Sounds like a slight hint of advertisement if you ask me, but hey, it appears to have worked a treat!
According to sources, Victoria is “thrilled” that Kate loves her dresses and in a phone call to the future Queen, Posh was only too happy to share some of her fashion wisdom…
Keep this friendship tight Posh and you never know, we could be calling you Dame Victoria in no time!
Anne Hathaway Gets Royaly Racy On Saturday Night Live!
Posted on November 22nd, 2010 at 4:37 pm by
With the announcement of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s engagement, spreading across the globe, it was only a matter of time before Saturday Night Live gave the world there comical take on the exciting news.
The hilarious sketch saw Anne Hathaway dress identically to how the real-life Kate looked on the day the happy news broke…but this time the news wasn’t taken so well. Poor “Kate” was reduced to tears by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, as soon Prince William, played Andy Samberg, left you room. The Queen’s polite well-spoken manner was sharply thrown aside and replaced suddenly with a foul-mouthed cockney accent.
“We welcome you to our family with open hearts,” turned to “Shut up. Shut your mouth,” as the Queen, played by Fred Armisen, stood with one leg on a chair, hitching up her skirt.
The abuse towards Kate flowed more frequently from the Queen with remarks like, “You think you can just show up and take over and do a bit of Queening?” and accused her of wanting a piece of their ‘palace action.’
Prince Phillip, played by Bill Hader, threw in his advise to the future Princess, “When it comes to being a wife, when you’re out there waving to a parade, you be Princess Di, you be Princess Grace. But in the bedroom think Fergie”
As soon as William reunited with his fiancée, his grandparents returned to their seats and acted as if nothing had happen… I can safely say that life didn’t imitate act in this case and I’d like to say congratulations to Prince William and his beautiful wife-to-be Kate on their engagement.
Russell’s Pride Dented By The Prince…
Posted on November 16th, 2010 at 4:59 pm by
It’s always important to make a good first impression especially when you are meeting with Royalty, well that is unless you are Russell Brand of course.
Whilst on Live with Regis and Kelly promoting his new film The Tempest, the scruffy-faced funnyman spoke of his recent encounter with Prince Charles at last week’s Pride of Britain awards in London.
It must be a daunting experience meeting a Royal, and to be fair to the newlywed his chat with Charles didn’t start off to well. Brand was (to say the least)… a slightly anxious about the whole ordeal; on top of that he was thrust upon the Prince by event organizers.
Russell said: “I was shoved into him and I saw a moment in his eyes as we shook hands when he realized, Oh, That’s that mad comedian”.
But wait, there’s more to the tale, as Brand went on to tell the hosts: “He sort of tried to get away. I had him in a bit of a grip. I was holding on, thinking, this is my moment. I’m not letting him go just yet…
There was a moment where he was trying to recoil and I heard his wrist click a bit.”
The one that got away Russell??
Now I’m a big fan of Russell’s and one can only hope Prince William is too, because as long as Charles is around, I don’t think a knighthood will be on the cards any time soon.
But I don’t know… It kind of has a nice ring to it though, arise Sir Rrrrrussell Brand!
Pattz Just The Way It Goes, Girls!
Posted on February 26th, 2010 at 5:18 pm by Sean Borg
That’s the sounds of a million Twi-hard hearts breaking as superVamp RPatz finally ‘fesses up that he’s going out with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Sigh.
At a post-BAFTA bash on Sunday night Rob finally admitted the worst kept secret in Hollywood – well maybe there’s a few more, but I couldn’t possibly reveal them.
The pair have been going to crazy lengths to keep their romance secret. They arrived separately at the awards and didn’t sit together. Kristen even had more security with her than Prince William! I know those Twi-hards are crazy but that’s a bit extreme, love. If I was with Rob I wouldn’t care who knew!
Bumbling RPatz told The Sun: ‘It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.
‘We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy.
‘We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.’
But at the post-awards dinner, they were all over each other, and sloped off together at midnight. Something tells me the off-screen version of their romance isn’t as chaste as Bella and Edward’s in the Saga books. Fangtastic!
