Becks buys Posh a vineyard

We’ve all got to have hobbies – and what better hobby than your own vineyard?

David Beckham has paid a seven-figure sum to buy Victoria a vineyard in California as a birthday present. It definitely answers the ‘what do you get someone who’s got everything?’ question, and Becks ‘surprised’ his wife with the gift on holiday, by arranging a special bottle of wine with Victoria’s name on the label.

The multi-millionaire couple do have their own team of workers to help them run the vineyard, obviously Posh won’t be doing any of the dirty work herself, but she will be keeping the bottle profits at the moment for herself and her friends, there are no plans to market it, although not one to miss an opportunity, I say watch this space before you see Vin de Posh or Posh Plonk in a Threshers near you.

YouTube top 10

Just when you thought Leona Lewis couldn’t get any bigger…the promo for her single Bleeding Love has entered YouTube’s top ten most viewed videos of all time. The official LL video is currently totalling 55,441,248 and counting. She’s currently in sixth place in the top ten – just behind Timberland’s ‘Apologise’ video.

Storming out in front in reverse order are:, Rihana’s ‘Don’t Stop the Music’, Avril Lavigne’s ‘Girlfriend’, and the most viewed video of all time is the ‘Evolution of Dance’ – which has clocked up more than 86 million hits.

Deadly penis

A man almost died when he stopped by the roadside to go to the toilet – and got bitten at the end of his penis by a snake.

The poisonous brown snake darted between his legs and dived at his penis as he crouched on the roadside near Cairns, Australia, before fleeing.

The tourist suffered from a wound, vomiting, and stomach pain – but has now been given the all clear.

I assume he’ll think twice before getting his shlong out next time around dangerous animals.

Baby For Sale

A Canadian couple have been accused of trying to sell their baby online for £5000 and could now be facing charges even though they now say it was a hoax. The advert, listed on the classified website Craigslist read “A new baby girl, seven days old, healthy and really cute, can’t afford and unexpected. Looking for a good home. Please call ASAP.”

It comes days after police in Germany arrested a couple for listing a seven-month-old boy for auction on ebay. The mother told police the ad, which listed the baby for sale for a euro, was a joke, but the baby is now in the care of youth services as police investigate the possibility of human trafficking.

In Canada, the couple have been arrested, and the baby has been removed from the home.

Boyzone are back

Post Take That reformation it’s what we’ve all been waiting for and the day has finally come – Boyzone are back and kicked off their UK tour in Belfast on Sunday night.

The whole crew – Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy have all been on an Atkins-style, no carbs diet and undergone an intensive fitness regime to beef up for the 33 shows they’re about to play around the country.

Apparently the highlight of the night is when the boys mix When The Going Gets Tough with DJ Eric Prydz’s Call On Me, which sees the boys running topless on treadmills.

Looks like its Boyzone’s moment in the limelight for the next few months, before Take That take over again at Christmas as promised by Barlow.


Eurovision flop

What a surprise – Britain flopped in the Eurovision song contest at the weekend at last place, alongside Poland, and Russia’s Dima Bilan took the top spot with 272 points (as opposed to Britain’s 14).

Patricia Field’s M&S fashion range

Patricia Field, none other than the lady behind the Sex and the City wardrobe, has been hired to create a collection for high-street store M&S. Field, who has also worked on Ugly Betty and The Devil Wears Prada.

She’s also donned some rather interesting outfits of herself on the red carpet – particularly a red horn and pink cloak combo, which made the designer look a little more dressing-up, rather than dressed up. Let’s hope that’s not the next look for all those mums and grandmas out there after her range hits M&S stores.

Manchester United reign champions of Europe

In case any you've had your eyes and ears closed for all of last night and this morning – Manchester United took the cup from a gutted Chelsea in Moscow last night, and won themselves the 2008 Champions League title.

Ronaldo scored in the 26th minute to put United in the lead from the offset, but Lampard for Chelsea was soon to equalise just before half time. A relatively uneventful second half led to extra time, and to a more exciting penalty shoot-out, where Ronaldo’s surprise miss (considering his form this season) put the pressure on United, but that was relieved by John Terry’s miss (gutted), and finally Edwin van der Sar save of Nicolas Anelka's shot secured the win for the reds.

Other than Didier Drogba being red-carded in extra time, the match was pretty much straight-forward…and the team mates partied until 11am this morning (Moscow time) in celebration of their win.

He advertised his wife with the snappy description of a “cheating, lying, adulterous slag of a wife” after hearing rumours in March that his wife of 24 years was having an affair with a man at work.

Sex hits the city

Sex And The City had its gala screening in London’s Leicester Square last night – and the red carpet was over-trampled by a herd of designer high heels, and stiletto shoes.

Ten years after the TV series began the girls finally have their own movie. British celebs were out in force to join the four main Sex And The City girls on the carpet, the premiere was attended by among others, uber-WAG Alex Curran, Bionic-flop Michelle Ryan, Page 3 stunner Keeley Hazel, Gladiators ready Kirsty Gallacher, and model of the moment Daisy Lowe. The invitations for the event invited the attendees to dress “glamorously” for the occasion, and everyone attending made the most of the opportunity.

There had been rumours that the SATC girls were to boycott the premiere because of the decision to hold it in London rather than America. But all four stars denied unrest, and Sarah JP summed it up for the gang, “we’re delighted to be here.”

The crowd inside were instructed to keep the ending top secret so not to spoil it to the eagerly awaiting fans, but dropped into BBC breakfast report this morning was the promise that each of the girls get their man in the end, and there’s a happy ending. Not that much of a surprise really…did anyone expect any less? The cheese is set to hit our screens 28 May…I can’t wait.

The wedding of the summer

Everyone is getting hugely excited in preparation for the biggest wedding of the summer 2008: Wayne and the lovely Coleen.

Coleen shelled out £20,000 on a weekend-long hen party in Manchester, treating two dozen friends and relatives to a weekend in the footballers favourite Lowry Hotel. Her own mother, along with Wayne’s were in attendance, but there were no signs of the other WAGs, who must have been busy. I’m sure they’ll manage to make it for the photo shoot at the wedding though. And the shock of the weekend was Wayne’s mum, who was photographed having lost seven stone, dropping to a size 14 especially for her son’s wedding. It was certainly a different sight to her pictured in 2003 looking like a beach whale, coming out of the water in Mexico with her chubby husband and son at her side.

Wayne is planning a stag do in Ibiza after the Champion League final in Moscow.

The Rooney wedding, is due to take place at a villa in Portofina, Italy, next month, rumoured to be costing millions.

Star turn? No, just Madonna showing off at Big Weekend

New York, Paris, Maidstone. For the last of three short shows to plug her current album Hard Candy, Madonna arrived by helicopter in the Kent countryside to headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend. Clearly the plan was to prove that a pop star who turns 50 in August can remain relevant to the kids. Instead, a sterile, soulless performance made Madonna resemble an embarrassing auntie desperately trying to be hip.
A crowd with cameraphones at the ready, crammed into a Big Top-style tent, had almost an hour to wait for pop’s greatest grande dame to arrive. The PA blasted out sweet-themed songs and the backdrop was girlie, pink swirls. When Madonna finally appeared, however, there was nothing sweet about her. Legs splayed over a black and gold throne at the top of stairs that doubled as one of various, inventive video screens, she wore an all-black outfit of silk coat, tracksuit trousers tucked into knee-length, lace-up boots, and leather, fingerless gloves.
Brandishing a silver cane like an S&M tool was meant to make her look tough and threateningly sexy. But with her trousers billowing above her boots like jodhpurs, she was less the raunchy temptress than the well-heeled woman in search of a horse.
Like much of the six-song, half-hour set, the opener Candy Shop suffered from muffled sound. Madonna has always valued spectacle over singing, but the bassy beats almost drowned her out and the tune, reasonably catchy on record, became a bland dirge. Four male dancers removed her coat, revealing a lacy top. A three-piece band was hidden to the side of the stage. For Miles Away, an ode to her husband, the film director Guy Ritchie, Madonna strapped on a guitar but neither looked as if she was genuinely strumming nor played anything audible. With her dancers briefly dispatched, the song left fans with little to watch through their phones.
The chart-topping single 4 Minutes was a vast improvement, even with Justin Timberlake – rumoured to be appearing in person – merely an image on rectangular screens across the stage, which Madonna spun round to release her dancers hidden behind. Supremely fit and with bulging biceps, the singer fared best when she joined her troupe in tightly choreographed routines. While her singing occasionally strayed off key, her fancy footwork was sure and never faltered.
Two old tracks got the best reception although, as Madonna made clear, she refuses to travel too far back in time.
The Abba-sampling hit Hung Up, from 2005, began with a steal from the Rolling Stones’ Satisfaction and was a given a grungey rework that felt as fake as Madonna’s overblown guitar-thrashing. A magnificent Music, meanwhile, closed the set and just about saved the show. Part of the stage spun round and out jumped dancers in Day-Glo attire. Madonna performed part of the song on her knees and fans finally got to sing along.
On the way out, the kids complained that she hadn’t sung Holiday, while the Mayor of Maidstone, Richard Ash, grumbled at the shortness of the set. Still, for one night only, it put Maidstone on the pop map.
The most exciting part of the set was Madge dropping the f-word twice introducing ‘Hung Up’ with “You guys are going to have to start f***ing it up out there ’cos I need to feel some love. I’m going to do an old song. But not too old. F**k the present. Let’s live in the past.” Repeating her Live 8 swearing trick from last year, least it gave everyone something to talk about despite a cheap trick…

'I want Miley to pose in Playboy'

CONTROVERSIAL teen superstar MILEY CYRUS has been offered the chance to pose naked for Playboy magazine, as soon as she turns 18.
Playboy boss HUGH HEFNER wants to the 15-year-old to follow up her photographs for Vanity Fair, and strip off completely in the pages of his legendary men's magazine - but only when she reaches the legal age.
The Hannah Montana star sparked outrage when the candid snaps - which show Cyrus posing bare-backed, wrapped in a satin sheet - emerged online, forcing the singer/actress to issue an apology over the controversial Annie Leibovitz photos.
Hefner says Cyrus would be "welcomed in the magazine".
The 82-year-old also slammed the furore surrounding her poses for Vanity Fair: "I think to make such a big to do over something as innocent as those photos, I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality."

* Chanelle – wannabe WAG? Course she is…and she might just get the chance to fulfil her dream. She was invited by Tottenham Hotspur’s Tom Huddlestone to watch him on the subs bench against Liverpool yesterday. I wonder if he managed to get one in the back of the net off-pitch? Unlike his team losing to Liverpool 0-2.

Britney vs Whitney

BRITNEY SPEARS is heading for a head to head album battle with pop’s ultimate fallen diva – WHITNEY HOUSTON.
The clash was set up because Brit has impressed label chiefs so much with her new material.
Brit has spent the past two years shaving her bonce, flashing her undercarriage, divorcing her husband and crashing cars — but finally seems to have got her act together.
After the poor reception for her most recent album Blackout, label bosses thought their wayward artist had blown it.
But impressive demos from recent studio work reignited their faith and they are confident she can crush ageing Whitney in a titanic Christmas LP scrap.
A label source said: “Britney has been on fire in the studio of late.
“During recording sessions for the last album she was consumed by her chaotic private life.
“But she is determined to make a triumphant comeback. Top brass have been amazed by the quality of tracks they’ve heard.
"Whitney is set for another relaunch at the same time later in the year. They’re determined Brit will come out on top.”
At least Brit is listening to decent music. She looked her best for months when snapped leaving an LA gym clutching a copy of RADIOHEAD’s In Rainbows this week.
Houston appears to have finally conquered her drugs problems and has roped in some of the urban scene’s heaviest hitters for her return.
WILL.I.AM, R. KELLY and JOHN LEGEND have penned tracks and her next single will be a collaboration with AKON.
She received a cool £1million for playing charity event the Cauldwell Children Legends Ball in London’s Battersea last night.

It’s always hard to decide on a name that’s heading for worldwide success and critical acclaim, but Jade’s managed it a second time – and is due to call her new scent ‘Controversial.’ Seems like someone's got a sense of humour. The new fragrance will be in stores from next month…phew – I can’t wait.

Are you Bea-ing served?

PRINCESS Beatrice started a new job yesterday – working in Selfridges as a SHOP ASSISTANT.
Bea, 19 – more used to being waited on herself as fifth in line to the throne – has landed a post as a “personal shopper” for VIP costumers.
Her unpaid work experience job involves fetching and carrying for rich punters who book their visits to the famous department store in London’s Oxford Street in advance.
Bea will work nine to five for the rest of the month. Yesterday customers were amazed to see the daughter of Prince Andrew and Fergie on the shop floor.
Janice Home, 39, from Oxford, said: “She rushed by with an armful of clothes and headed off towards the Gucci section.
I thought, ‘That looks just like Fergie’ – then I realised it was her daughter Princess Beatrice.”
By lunchtime the Queen’s granddaughter – who is taking a gap year before starting university in the autumn – had proudly flogged a £825 Matthew William-son summer frock, a £310 Burberry jacket and a pair of £175 James Jeans trousers.
Beatrice wore a trendy black dress herself for work – with a large belt and flat shoes.
A Selfridges source said: “Beatrice is a natural. Our personal shoppers are popular with wealthy Arabs, celebrities and footballers’ wives.”
Bea’s cousin Prince William used the service when he bought girlfriend Kate Middleton earrings just before Christmas. During his gap year he worked in a butcher’s shop at Chatsworth House.
BEA has also clinched a role as a junior ambassador for Children In Crisis – the charity set up 15 years ago by her mum Fergie.

Rooney reveals her new boobs

There’s a new blonde, boob-flashing Z-lister on the scene and this one’s got connections.
NATALIE ROONEY – cousin of Manchester United striker Wayne – is launching a glamour career after having her first boob job.
Natalie, who came to prominence when she flashed her breasts on route to COLEEN McLOUGHLIN's 21st birthday bash, has boosted them from a 34C to a whopping 34F.
And she's warning her future in-law what will happen if she gets the thumbs down. Natalie said: “If Coleen doesn’t like my new boobs, I’ll squeeze her head between them.
"My mum has told Wayne about the surgery and he just laughed."
And - as if it even needs asking - guess who her idol is? She boasts: "My aim is to look like Jordan. "I’ll soon be getting them out all over the place."

Chameleon Kylie wows crowds on her world tour opening

Kylie Minogue promised her new tour would be 'spectacular' and the Aussie star certainly didn't disappoint with her opening show of 'KYLIEX2008" in Paris last night.
The pop petal wowed the Parisian crowd by talking French and mesmerising them with a myriad of ground breaking costume changes.
With a career built on her chameleon like qualities, the singer transformed from a Yankee Gladiator to an Indiana Jones GI.
Sparing no cash on special effects, Minogue descended on her adoring French fans on a supersized skull which welcomed her in to track 'Like A Drug'.
Next up it was a dance with sailor boys, then into a blond S&M geisha with thigh high thorned leggings, before finally giving her own take on the statue of liberty.
Defying claims she can no longer sex things up, it wasn't long before the determined starlet was locked in a cage with male dancers suspended and squirming about her.
The star surely has been drinking from the cup of youth, stunning the crowd with a 180 splits, while been lifted a loft another troop of hunk men.


Ministers face row over cannabis regarding

Underfire Gordon Brown is heading for a new battle over cannabis.
Ministers appear set to ignore official advice on the regrading of the drug from Grade C to B.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is due to oppose the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) advice to keep cannabis grade C.
But Gordon Brown is understood to be keen that the drug is reclassified to B amid particular concerns about the prevalence of the stronger "skunk" variety.
The Prime Minister wants youngsters to be in no doubt the Government does not approve of cannabis use, after protests that its class C status sent out mixed messages.
ACMD will today publish its report - which was passed to ministers last week - as Ms Smith makes a statement to MPs on the Government's stance.
The report has been compiled by a group of experts, including doctors, police, judges and drug counsellors, who are thought to have concluded that cannabis should remain class C.
Jane Harris, of the mental health charity Rethink, said reclassifying cannabis would make little difference and education is what is really needed.
She said the charity wants the Government to make it compulsory for warnings about cannabis to be put on packets of rolling paper.
"We have written to every single rolling paper company we can think of, asking them to do this as a voluntary measure and they have all said no," she told GMTV.
"What we really want is health education. The Government promised a massive public education campaign three years ago. We have seen none of that.
"When you look at smoking, they have put millions into that and it's made a difference."

Troubled Gazza begs in street

BROKEN Paul Gascoigne was seen begging in the street hours before his desperate hotel suicide bid.

The soccer legend, who was last night in a mental health unit after trying to drown himself in a bath, also tried to put down a £20,000 deposit on a Ferrari.
But the episode dissolved into farce after his trousers fell down in the showroom – revealing he was wearing no underwear.
Former England star Gazza, 40, was seen begging outside a shop by millionaire Queens Park Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini.
Shocked Mr Paladini handed him £70 and urged him to clean up his act before making his way to QPR’s Loftus Road stadium for Sunday’s match with West Brom.
Alcoholic Gazza, diagnosed with manic depression, began asking passers-by for cash after a store refused his credit card as he tried to buy fags in London’s Mayfair.
A spokesman for Mr Paladini said: “Gianni recognised Paul and saw he was in a bad way.
“He was drunk, smelled of booze and was upset.
“Gianni was shocked. He gave him some money and told him to have a meal and clean himself up. He then put him in a cab and sent him on his way.
“When Gianni heard he’d tried to commit suicide, he was very upset.”
The taxi took Gazza to the posh Millennium Hotel in Sloane Street, Knightsbridge.
The sad former Newcastle, Spurs and Lazio midfielder was rescued by cops there as he held his head underwater in the bath.
Staff had called officers after he asked them for a steak knife, sparking fears for his safety.
He was taken to the mental health unit of Chelsea and Westminster hospital, where yesterday he was still recovering.
Geordie Gazza also had his hair dyed red then shaved it all off during a bank holiday weekend bender in the capital.
Onlookers told how he visited a Ferrari showroom in South Kensington on Saturday to “buy” a £140,000 car.
Chauffeur Gerard Lowe said: “He was wasted and abusive, talking about how footballers are paid so much.
“I felt sorry for him. At one point his trousers fell down and he wasn’t wearing underwear.”

Ronaldo: Trannies left stain that will never go

SOCCER superstar Ronaldo yesterday spoke for the first time about his sordid brush with three transvestite hookers – and said: “It will stain my life forever.”
The Brazilian striker insisted he did not know the trio were ladyboys when he booked them in a club following a bust-up with his girlfriend.
Ronaldo said he wept when he realised they were trannies after he took them to his hotel room.
The AC Milan player – twice a World Cup winner with Brazil – added: “I made the stupidest mistake of my personal life.
“I cried a lot afterwards. I was incredibly ashamed.”
“Behind the personality I carry, I’m a normal person and have my weaknesses.”
“Now I have to reconstruct everything. It’s like a house knocked down by a hurricane. I have to build it all over again.”
The Sun told last week how bucktoothed Ronaldo, 31, hired the hookers while in Rio de Janeiro for treatment on a knee injury.
Police were called after he realised they were trannies and refused to cough up £15,000 hush money.
Ronaldo could lose a fortune in endorsements after one of the three claimed: “He treated me with caresses and called me Princess.”
It was also alleged he had sex with two of them and took drugs, both of which the player fiercely denies.
Ronaldo said girlfriend Bia Anthony forgave him. He added: “She swore at me but afterwards gave me support.”

PETE DOHERTY is to go free on Tuesday — after just 29 days of his 14-week jail term and DESPITE taking heroin behind bars.
The junkie rocker — jailed for 98 days after defying orders to take drug tests during a suspended sentence for smack possession — was last night plotting a mammoth bender.
As the early release sparked fury, a pal revealed: “He’s planning to go straight to play a gig — and then get smashed.
“He wants no business appointments for three days — so he can really go for it.”

The Sun revealed last month how BABYSHAMBLES frontman Doherty, 29, was shooting up in the DETOX unit of London’s Wormwood Scrubs.
But he is being released as soon as possible. His sentence has been halved and a further 18 days deducted as part of a scheme introduced last summer to ease jail overcrowding.
On top of that he gets another two days off because of time in police custody.
Ex-Home Office minister ANNWIDDECOMBE declared: “Nobody should ever come out that early.”
