David Beckham

Whew! Thank you, Matilde! I was hoping she wouldn't be that stupid to do something like that.

I don't understand how you can be married to a man you know cheats on you. I don't care about the status, where is the dignity in that?

He might not be cheating, though. There's enough speculation that they have an arrangement or a full-on open marriage that I'm starting to believe it. In which case no one is cheating.

I thought this interview in W pretty much telling about the Loos affair. Like said before, they don't confirm the affair but they don't deny it either.

But sometimes that madness is impossible to ignore. Three years ago, for instance, English papers exploded with stories of an affair David reportedly had with an assistant at his management firm. When the scandal is raised, Victoria's eyes shoot a look that could turn a man to stone. But without blinking, she responds forthrightly. "I'm not going to lie. It was a really tough time," she says. "It was hard for our entire families. But I realized a lot of people have a price." (A tabloid reportedly paid the other woman $600,000 for her story.) Looking slightly sheepish, David remains silent, but seems to grip Victoria's hand more tightly.

"David and I got through it together," Victoria continues. "No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we've come out of everything we've been through stronger and happier. It's even better now than when we were first married. After all these years, we can just come home and have a laugh together."

Both of them need each other to sustain the Beckham brand. David brings the soccer and the adulation that comes with that and Vicky brings the glamour. When they first met, Victoria was more more well known because of the Spice Girls and then David eclipsed her with the soccer stuff. Still, he's getting on in age and his soccer days are numbered. Vicky meanwhile has proven to be a rather successful and acclaimed fashion designer. Her latest collection got raves at NY Fashion Week.

Their lawyers are asking for a front page retraction from In Touch. Apparently, they warned In Touch's publishers not to run the story because it was a bald face lie. We'll see if they go through with their threat to sue.

I picked up Mark Frith's autobiography in a pound shop (legendary magazine editor and the man who started Heat), and he talks about the Rebecca Loos affair. Remember when Posh and Becks did that whole staged 'happy families playing in the snow' thing at some ski resort? According to Frith, a group of reporters managed to gain access to a part of the resort where they could look into their cabin, and the very first thing Posh did when she arrived, before she even said a word to him, was slap him hard in the face. And of course they then went outside and put on a lovey dovey couple act for the paps. (It's sleazy as hell they were watching them in the privacy of their own cabin, but I believe it is true.) Frith comes across as pretty sleazy all round but fairly insightful, and he has some interesting views on the Beckhams.

Ex-"Manhattan Madam" Kristin Davis, who is running for governor of New York, confirms to In Touch that married soccer star David Beckham had sex with former hooker Irma Nici in 2007. "Irma called me and asked if I could supply one of my girls for a threesome," Davis says in a statement. "Per her request, I sent a 'brunette with curves' at the rate of $2,400 cash. The next time we spoke, she informed me that the client was David Beckham."

Libel suit never works with these tabloids here and it will be hard to sue INTOUCH. I am still waiting for Chris Martin and Ashton's lawsuit against STAR.

[Witchie]

Per Radar Online[/color] he filed suit against In Touch & the hooker.

He threatened. He sued. David Beckham has followed through on his threat to sue a magazine for a story claiming he'd had sex with a hooker, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

The soccer superstar filed suit against In Touch Weekly magazine Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging libel, slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Still waiting on Chris Martin & Ashton Kutcher to file theirs.
