Victoria Beckham Scoops Top British Fashion Award!

Nick Crew — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 01:36:03 +0000

Back in the 90s, when Victoria Beckham was having worldwide success with the Spice Girls, she often picked up awards here and there. However, if memory serves me there was hardly ever any emotion shown when she did… Well, apart from a few smiles and a bunch of zig-a-zig-ahs… Er, not any more.

Earlier this week, the ex-singer turned top fashion designer picked up a major prize at the prestigious British Fashion Awards, and there was just no holding back the tears!

The 37-year-old mother-of-four came away with the top gong after seeing off stiff competition for the award from the likes of Stella McCartney, Tom Ford and Burberry.

A tearful Victoria found it hard to hold in her feelings during her speech to which she apologized to the audience for; “Sorry, I’m being so rubbish.”

She also paid tribute to her husband, David Beckham, saying, “Without David I wouldn’t have the courage to do what I’m doing.”… Ahhh, isn’t true love grand!

Becks later returned the comment by posting how ”incredibly proud” he was, on his Facebook page. “She has worked so hard and deserves all the recognition. It’s amazing what she has achieved tonight, very special.” David, I think you speak for us all.

Congratulations Victoria and may this be the first fashion award of many…

I think it might be too, now that the fashion world is at long last recognizing Victoria’s incredible talents, I guess you could say, Posh is finally, er, well and truly posh!

Victoria Beckham Spotted Flaunting Her New GOLD iPhone!

Victoria Beckham has a new iPhone 4G, oh yes she does…

However, Mrs. Becks hasn’t any old iPhone, Posh has gone one better, and hers just happens to be solid gold… Er, yup, of course it is!

The former Spice Girls singer turned top fashion designer was spotted with her new couture-cell in-hand as she strutted through JFK Airport, earlier this week.

Her customized gold-gizmo is designed by Stuart Hughes and handcrafted intricately using 150 grams of 24-carat gold, the phone is also sporting a rather sexy screensaver of hubby David posing topless too, oo-er…

And just like other creations by Hughes, this one equally reeks of utter decadence. Said to be worth a whopping £21,995 (that’s around $35,000 U.S), this phone is just the sort of gadget one would expect a Beckham to have in their possession.

I guess you could say there is no better way for Victoria to make ‘golden-calls’ to hubby ‘golden balls’… Um, sorry, I had to!

Mel B Shows Off Baby Madison For The First Time!

Nick Crew — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:20:07 +0000

Two weeks ago Melanie Brown gave birth to her third child, a beautiful baby girl she named Madison. But despite little Maddy being the former Spice Girl’s third daughter, Mel has expressed how this time around, things are different and she puts it all down to her wonderful hubby, Stephen Belafonte.

Speaking to exclusively Hello! magazine in the UK, the 36 year-old has said that she feels she has ’finally done it right,’ after her two failed relationships with the fathers of her other daughters, Jimmy Gulzar and Eddie Murphy.

She said: “Ideally you want to have your loving partner who you’ve created this baby with by your side throughout everything, and in Angel and Phoenix’s cases, that wasn’t the set up.”

She tells the magazine that giving birth this time around was completely different, and how she finally felt she had a partner to go through the whole experience with, referring to Stephen as, “Someone to come to every appointment with’ and ‘get excited by every scan.”

The happy couple posed proudly in the current issue for the first time with baby Madison who was born earlier this month weighing in at six pounds and two ounces. Mel has described the latest addition to the family as ‘such a chilled baby’ and calls her ‘so gorgeous.’

Well Mel, they say third times a charm and it seems to me that you and Stephan are proof of that…Congrats to you both!

Mel B: “Stephen will probably pass out at the birth!”

Former Spice Girl Mel B is convinced that when that magical moment arrives giving birth to her third child, husband, Stephen Belafonte, will “probably pass out and require medical attention!”

In the interview with Hello! Magazine out this week, a heavily-pregnant Mel said she expects her two daughters to be more helpful than her husband; “Phoenix and Angel will be there with me during my labor, which is just as well as Stephen will be a complete nightmare”…

I bet poor ol’ Stephen loved reading this! *Cringe*

The 36-year-old continued: “I pretended to him the other day that I was in labor and he just went white; he didn’t have a clue what to do. He’ll be panicking and probably take us to the wrong hospital”…

This will be the first child for Melanie and Stephen, who married back in February of 2007, and the arrival of tiny feet could come any day now, though we’ve been waiting for Mel to ‘pop’ for weeks… In fact she is overdue!

In a response to former bandmate Mel C’s tweet, Mel B said: ‘(It was due) YESTERDAY!!! Help!!! It likes being in my tummy too much right now’…

Somebody please get this girl some spicy food pronto! I’ve heard it helps induce labor. In any case I wish her all the best for when that big day comes.

A little advice for you too Stephen…just breathe… We are sending you out another batch of Frosted Cupcakes (spicy ones if poss…Of course)!

It Looks As If Mel B Really Is About To Pop!

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 23:45:00 +0000

A friend in the Mel B camp informs me that the singer who is a little over 8 months pregnant could ‘pop’ any day now…

Perfect timing if she does, at least Harper Seven Beckham (love that name) will have a little playmate her own age…

When Victoria Beckham gave birth to Harper last weekend, Mel tweeted: “Congrats!!! Yipeee another spice baby is born, damn it wish it was me this AM cos I feel like I’m about to POP!”

My response after seeing this image of the former Spice Girl taken today showing off her enormous baby-bump, was WOW… Pop? Judging by this pic I’d say she was just about ready to EXPLODE…and any minute now!

Er, sorry Mel, you know I love you really… A box of Frosted Cupcakes are on its way to you now!

Loving the Way You Look… ‘Geri’ Nice Indeed Miss Halliwell!

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:18:27 +0000

Former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell was oozing sexiness in London earlier this week at the opening of the new McLaren showroom. The star, who has just returned from a break in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat in the South of France with boyfriend Henry Beckwith and her daughter Bluebell-Madonna, was looking super fit in a powder-blue mini-dress with white lace that highlighted her curves and incredibly toned and spray-tanned legs… And not bad pins too, I must say!

Haliwelll, 38, who has been out of the news for some time was clearly keen to shine on the red carpet… If you ask me a comeback is long overdue… And looking as good as this Miss Halliwell is sure to impress the critics who have often knocked her for her over-the-top trashy flamboyant taste in clothes… Um, that and a good pop record of course!

Posh Helps Honour Simon Fuller on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Tue, 24 May 2011 21:44:05 +0000

‘I want one!’… I can only imagine that is what pregnant fashion designer Victoria Beckham might have been thinking to herself earlier this week while attending a ceremony for fellow Brit, Simon Fuller, who was presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame… Er, perhaps?

Close friends, Simon and Vic’ go way back as it was Simon who first brought us the Spice Girls, AND who is responsible for bringing American Idol to our screens…For those reasons alone, I reckon this guy deserves his place on Hollywood Boulevard!

However, there was no sign of posh’s hubby David Beckham, the soccer ace is currently back in the UK to play in a testimonial football match for close friend and former teammate Gary Neville. Becks is also on Royal duties once again, the star is due to have dinner with the Queen and President Obama while on his visit to the UK…One can smell the knighthood…

Victoria, who was looking her usual gorgeous self while doing her trademark poses for the cameras and fans, bought along her eldest son Brooklyn to join the celebrations, which included A-liters Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and a host of American Idol contestants…I guess this is one way of promoting the shows finale!

Mel B Splashes Out In Style on Hubby Stephen’s Birthday!

Nick Crew — Thu, 19 May 2011 01:52:15 +0000

Mel B is currently on the other side of the world working as a judge on the Australian version of X Factor, but that didn’t stop the former Spice Girl from spending time with her husband Stephen Belafonte on his birthday.

Heavily pregnant Mel took some time out of her hectic schedule to treat her hubby to a romantic £600 (almost a $1000 U.S) lunch at the Cottage Point Inn. However, the establishment happens to be over 20 miles from Sydney where she is filming the show.

So what is one to do?? Well, Melanie decided to splash out in style with no expense spared and hired a seaplane to fly the pair of them as a surprise! Bish-bosh… and twenty minutes later the happy couple was fine dinning at the waterfront restaurant.

Hmm, I’ll shall remember to do the same next time I need to fit in a lunch appointment, (ahem)…I wish!

Belafonte could not contain his excitement and what other way to tell the world of his wonderful day… Via his Twitter account of course, he wrote, ‘Bout to take my black azz on a sea plane with my beautiful wife!!!’… What a wife she is, eh!? Good ol’ Mel…

The Brown-Belafonte’s are due back in Los Angeles once filming is over just in time for the birth of their child. Best of luck to them!
