Posh talks life in LA, Julia Roberts and THOSE pregnancy rumours...
Victoria Beckham may be one of the most glam ladies on the planet, but she insists that only gay men fancy her! The popstar/actress/designer/mum is currently in the UK to promote her clothing range and has been chatting about her life in LA, her new famous friends, and those pregnancy rumours. Talking about her reputation as a “yummy mummy” Posh joked, “All the men that like me are gay.” Mrs Beckham then went on to talk about the day she met Hollywood legend Julia Roberts, admitting that she was left a “quivering wreck” after the encounter. “She’s a legend,” explains Posh, “I found myself bending down to curtsy!” Ahhh, bless you. She also denied claims that she’s chasing a film career in LA, saying “I’m a terrible actress. Everyone thinks I’m only friends with Tom and Katie to be in a movie, but it’s not true.” She also claimed she’s turned down several film roles – including a guest part in the Sex And The City movie! How could she resist access to their wardrobe department? Talking about her family, she jokes about her boys, saying, “They are getting American accents. Brooklyn keeps saying 'awesome'.” Despite all the rumours and husband David’s recent admission that the couple would like another baby, Posh assures us that for now we’ll have to wait. “We would love another baby but, right now, the three boys are still really young. David and I want to enjoy them for a while.” We’re still going to keep our fingers crossed for a little Beckham girl, though...

Sharon demands £500,000 payrise
She’s never been one to hold back when it comes to asking for what she wants, so it comes as no real surprise that Sharon Osbourne’s demanded more dosh to do another series of The X Factor. The feisty star has allegedly asked for a whopping £500,000 pay rise – taking her contract up to a huge £2million. The other judges Simon, Louis and Dannii have all signed up for this year’s show already, but Sharon is digging her heels in to get what she wants. An X Factor source says, “We need Sharon – and she knows it. She’ll return, but is holding out for more cash.” However, an official spokesperson for the hit ITV show refused to confirm the rumours, stating, “As far as we are concerned, all four judges are returning.” We really hope they’re right. The X Factor simply wouldn’t be the same without Shazzer – plus, we literally cannot wait to watch the tension growing between her and Dannii as the show goes on.

Lee Mead to be the new face of ASDA :-/
Joseph star and Mr Denise Van Outen, Lee Mead, looks set to become the new face of Asda’s clothing range. The 26-year-old actor has allegedly been approached by the supermarket giant to model their men’s collection – and word is they want his missus too. “We love the Technicolour dreamboat and his other half,” an Asda spokesman confirmed, “They are very stylish.” If the curly star and his blonde lady take up the offer, they will be following in the footsteps of stars such as Coleen McLoughlin and Jordan, who have both modelled for the store in the past. We reckon Lee should go for it – anything to get him out of that, frankly quite hideous, Dreamcoat!

Billy and Kelly back together!
Men the world over can stop rejoicing – it looks like Kelly Brook is already back with her man Billy Zane. The famously curvy star spilt from her lover of four years just last month, apparently because he was unwilling to settle down, but now the couple have had a romantic reunion, resulting in a night spent together at a London hotel. Billy flew in from filming in South Africa to woo his former missus, and was seen buying flowers and chocolates before meeting Kelly for a Thai meal in London. Onlookers said, “Kelly was giggling and looked very happy. She kept touching his arm.” The 28-year-old has also told friends that she believes 42-year-old Billy is “the one”. We still don’t get the attraction to Billy. Kelly must know something we don’t...
