A Bel-Air Nest for the Beckhams?
London's Daily Mail reports that the house pictured in these photos is a favorite to become the L.A. residence of David and Victoria Beckham.
"A hilltop property with an infinity pool that gives the impression one could almost swim over the edge and plunge headfirst into the bright lights of LA, is believed to have won Victoria's heart. The top choice is said to be a relative bargain at £4 million and is only a 10-minute drive through the canyons from their good friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's place."
The question is, will the Beckhams "plunge headfirst into the bright lights" of Scientology once they arrive. Given Cruise's current favor with the press, I think Becks might want to think twice about spending too much time with their new neighbors, or his image could go from hero to zero pretty quickly.

I'm betting that Scientology plays into this stuff. Creepy, but true. Scientologists tend to hang out with each other. Maybe that's a good thing, but not in the case when you're a public figure and have the ability to influence young kids.

I'm sorry, but this just makes me sick. These people (Beckham's, celeb's in general) do NOT deserve the lives they have. $250 MILLION just to sign over to play soccer in L.A.? Are you KIDDING ME? Have they cured world hunger? AIDS? I am sickened over the fact that civil servants, teachers, scientists, researchers get minor duckets while these overpaid freak show contestants get millions for essentially doing nothing directly benefitting society (and for those in defense, don't tell me that David Beckham is a role model for kids, PUH-LEAZE). What has Posh Spice done besides fly to London for $3,000 hair extensions because she didn't like the way her hair looked in a photograph? It's sick. People in this world amuse and frustrate me. The next time you dish out $10 to see a movie or $300 on a new pair of designer jeans, don't bitch about your taxes being high. At least tax dollars (should) go to the teachers and police that educate our younger generations and provide us with safety. Humanity seems to have its priorities mixed up.
Ok, soapbox speech done. =)

personally, I don't give a rat's ass... what's happening with this blog? Is it becoming another TMZ?

the beckhams will each get a few movie roles, and appear on red carpets, tabloids, and blogs... until they slide into the pacific ocean behind the cruises... he's not enough to get america watching soccer.

Why all the hoopla over this guy? Sure, he is goodlooking, but that shrill voice, sorry, sounds like a bad Mr Humpries from "Are you Being Served!"

I agree, but before you get on a soapbox, learn your plurals vs. contractions, PLEASE!
("The Beckham's" is incorrect!).

I second that opinion, and what to think of David Beckham being voted #6 biggest gay icons of ALL TIME?

1. Kylie Minogue (!!)
2. Dolly Parton
3. ABBA
4. Judy Garland
5. Marilyn Monroe

As for that list, there is not one on the Top 20 I give the slightest shit about. And quite a few I detest.
