So far, we've managed to get through the World Cup without having to mention the partners of the England team, despite them having a former Spice Girl and a former Girl Aloud amongst them. (Oh, maybe not former yet on the last one.) And because of the clunking nickname given to them - the WAGS. Apparently it stands for wives and girlfriends, although we thought it was a reference to the over-enthusiastic but essentially useless bit that hangs around a dog's arse. Prior to England going to give the Swedes a lesson in what a team incapable of [...]

Well, that'll shift the odds on England winning the World Cup: Victoria Beckham is convinced the boys can do it . Oddly, she's never actually appeared as a pundit on Football Focus: "I think everybody’s feeling really positive. "I’m very, very excited about it. I think we can win it." It turns out all those people who reckon she doesn't like living in Spain are wrong, as well: "I get frustrated when people say I don’t like it. "Some people like [...]

Shayne Ward is truly finding his level now - not only has he done the advert with two fluffy puppets for Woolworths, he's also being added to a Madam Tussauds display . Curiously, he's being stuck in the place previously occupied by David and Victoria Beckham: Says an insider: "This is a real first as no other reality-show winners have been immor talised this way. "Shayne was the perfect model and is bound to get a lot of attention when he's unveiled in May. David and Victoria have been in Tussauds for years [...]

There's not any real need to give the Beckhams any more money, is there? Apparently, they're so awash with cash, David is buying Victoria an eight million pound Bulgari necklace . It almost makes you yearn for the days of a top rate of tax at 90 per cent, doesn't it? music victoria beckham david beckham

We're quite fond of Living TV - anything that had the foresight to buy up ANTM and Boston Legal is fine by us - but they dropped a bit of a hairy prairie oyster last night. Last night they dedicated an hour programme to how terrible it was celebrities are so thin, focusing mostly on Victoria Beckham and the other one off the Paris Hilton show. Of course, even they realise that there's no earthly reason why bullimics and annorexics shouldn't be treated with the same dignity you treat people with other illnesses, so to try and take [...]

"But it's for charity" wailed everyone at the not-entirely-surprising news that someone was trying to scalp tickets for some sort of pro-UNICEF night with Victoria and David Beckham . Somebody had got hold of tickets, and was selling them on for some ridiculous ammount like £23,500. London-based Dave [West], 61, bought the tickets in good faith thinking the cash was going to a worthy cause. But after hearing of Thursfield's sacking he said: "It's disgraceful that someone should try to abuse the Beckhams, UNICEF and other charities in this way." The [...]

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you: There's something a little sneaky in Hello's coverage of Fashion Rocks . While Victoria Beckham might be delighted that they give prominence to her appearance over all others, let's hop she doesn't think about the headline too closely: "Outshines celebs" hardly suggests Hello view her as being amongst equals, does it? music fashion victoria beckham
