Taking a Week Long Hiatus

Hi everyone,

I hate to start the weekend off with bad news, but unfortunately that's what I have to do. Many of you regular readers know that my grandfather has been battling a mysterious illness for the past few months. He's gone through so much, including brain surgery, just to find out what it was. Well, after months of guessing, the doctors confirmed early this week that he had an extremely rare disease called CJD (for short). It's an incurable illness that attacks your brain and only one in every million people suffer from it - which leads to 200 cases in the US each year.

I've spent the past few days and nights at the hospital with my entire family and I'm sad to say that this morning around 2am we lost him. He was an unbelievable man who I miss terribly already. Last night was extremely tough for all of us, but especially him. He could no longer talk and had a tough time breathing. But thankfully we were all by his side when he left us ( I was actually holding his hand).

I just want to thank all of you for your prayers, well wishes, and words of encouragenent. It's meant a lot to me in this difficult time.

The blog will be on hiatus until next weekend.

Sleep well Pop-pop... And don't worry, I'll always blow you kisses!

Maternity Chic... So Far...

When Victoria announced she was pregnant, the majority of us were extremely excited and not just because there will be yet another gorgeous Beckham baby in the world (the most obvious reason), but also because we were excited to see what Victoria's fourth time maternity style would be like.

So far, I have not been disappointed! In my opinion, she is the most stylish woman on the planet and even in pregnancy, she still reigns supreme. Yes, she's very into blazers and billowy tops right now, but who else is rocking thigh high boots with chains in the back, towering Louboutin platforms, or waxy denim with spikes along with their baby bump?

The Look for Less: Brian Atwood Drama Pumps

When the Brian Atwood Drama pumps were first released, they sold out like hotcakes! Now that sale season is over for fall, the hunt for the now impossible to find straggler pairs is even more difficult. But good news for those of you who either missed the Dramas the first time around (like me... and I could kick myself for doing so) or could not get passed the $660 retail price tag, you're in luck. The often designer inspired Steve Madden is now offering an extremely similar version called the Bevv-B. These are much more budget friendly... they retail for $99.95!

The Beckhams Dine at Bouchon Bistro

David and Victoria dined at Bounchon Bistro last night with their pals Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. David is the only diner visible in the photos but I wish we had gotten more! We haven't seen them with Tom and Katie in a while and I would've loved to see Victoria's outfit... obviously ;)

David Chats with ESPN and Page 2

David Beckham is in the final year of his five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy, which opens its Major League Soccer season Tuesday night against the Seattle Sounders.

With the league's best player (Landon Donovan) and a powerful striker (Juan Pablo Angel), this probably is Beckham's best chance to win his first MLS crown.

Page 2 had a chance to talk with the soccer legend about the sport, his family and his new tattoo:
1. In Europe, you had a lot of success. You've been close here but haven't won it all. How tough is that for you?
"It's not difficult at all. I had the weight of the league on my shoulders when I arrived here. I had to carry the flag for the sport in this part of the world. But this game is something I've always enjoyed. It's been a great challenge. This is something I'm totally passionate about. I've seen improvements in the American game. We have some new teams coming into the league. In certain areas, the attendance is up. When I see all this, it makes me proud. Since Day 1, I've been proud to be part of this league. I came to the United States to win a championship. I still want to do that."

2. You've had some injuries the past few years which has limited your play. Is soccer still fun for you?
"I know it's easy for me to say this because I have gotten paid so much money to play, but I've always enjoyed playing soccer. It's never a job to me. I know it might sound silly but I would be doing this if I wasn't getting paid. It's never been about the money. I've helped raise the profile of this league. I think we've been successful. It's going to take more years here to equal the level of the European leagues. I've had some injuries and I'm 35 years old. I've worked hard in the offseason to get my body right."

3. You have always been in the spotlight. Are you tired of the paparazzi?
"We've had it for quite a few years. You actually get used to it. You come to terms with it that it's just part of your life. I've never really complained about it except when it affects my children. That, to me, is when it crosses the line. I've been with Victoria for 14 years and married for 12. So I know the deal. But we're very protective of our children. Thankfully, our children are very grounded. They say 'please' and 'thank you'. They know how to handle the situations. We're trying to keep their lives as normal as possible."

4. Do you and Victoria read the tabloids?
"I literally don't. I don't even really notice when people take my picture. I don't worry about seeing the end product. We haven't had it that bad in the United States. But just last week when we were in London, these aggressive photographers were jumping on our cars. I'm watching this realizing that my wife is pregnant and I just wanted to get out of there."

5. A lot has been made about your recent tattoo. What was it like?
"I wasn't planning on getting another tattoo. I've had a lot done. But I heard all these great things about legendary artist Mark Mahoney, so he created this tattoo of Jesus being lifted by three cherubs [for Beckham's three children]. It took about 12 hours over two days."

5a. So with a little girl on the way, thinking of adding to that tattoo?
"Uh, I'm not so sure about that."

Out and About

Since annoucing she's pregnant, Victoria Beckham has grown a little shyer than usual. We rarely see her outside of her car unless she's going through an airport. But hey, any sighting is better than none right?

Here she is driving her black Range Rover Sport in LA on the 15th. She's most likely doing the school run.

Thank You All!

I know I've been a neglectful blogger over recent weeks but I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been extremely understanding and kind about the entire ordeal my family has been going through with my grandfather. Your comments and even emails have been more than a pleasure to read and extremely comforting!

The update on his situation is that he went in for brain surgery this week and the doctors removed a small piece of his brain to send for testing. His health has been strongly deteriorating over recent months and he's been to countless hospitals and specialists and has even gone through dozens of tests but no one can seem to find out what is wrong. This has been the most devastating on my family because everyone feels like we're watching him waste away and we can't help. But on the bright side, this brain biopsy surgery is supposed to give us what we all have been aching for... an answer. This test, yes it's the most severe, is supposed to rule out certain diagnoses which will help anchor just one (or maybe more if that's the case). He's out of recovery now and doing very well... almost like he had nothing done. I will definitely keep you all updated on how he is doing.

Thank you again for everything! I do apologize for leaving the blog behind a bit (luckily it's been really slow in Beckhamland lately) but I definitely appreciate all of the support and kindness you have shown me in recent weeks!

Thanks again!

Celebrity Apprentice' 2011 cast

On the men's team, there is rapper Lil Jon, actor Gary Busey, former baseball player Jose Canseco, tax-evading "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch, former teen idol David Cassidy, & singers Meat Loaf, John Rich & Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath.

NBC has announced the cast of "celebrities" set to compete on the new season of "The Celebrity Apprentice," premiering on Sunday, March 6, 2011. The females include "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes, actresses Lisa Rinna & Marlee Matlin, model Niki Taylor, singer Dionne Warwick, former "The View" co-host Star Jones, Playmate Hope Dworaczyk, & LaToya Jackson.

Photographs: "Celebrity Apprentice" 2011 Cast Bios

Donald Trump's youngest son Eric will join siblings Ivanka & Donald Jr. as his advisors, along with long-time Trump worker George Ross.

�The next season of �The Celebrity Apprentice� will be the most thrilling yet. They are thrilled to bring back the celebrity format with 16 new & unbelievably gifted celebrities who will help me make �The Celebrity Apprentice� one of the hottest shows on tv this spring. This will be season 11 � Amazing!�

The Donald did his best to hype up the new season in a press release:

The Donald also revealed that viewers can expect fireworks between Leakes & Star Jones. "It was like fistfights on a regular basis," Trump told Fallon."I've never seen confrontations like that. In fact, they make Omarosa look lovely!"

While the list of celebrities participating was leaked back in October, Trump officially unveiled the cast on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," joined by Lil Jon & NeNe Leakes. The trio, along with Fallon, proceeded to play a game of Charades with predictably hilarious results. The clip can be viewed here.

"Star, to me, is phony," Leakes recently told zap2it.com. "She may have gone to Harvard. They may have ten degrees, but it is comic she is in the same place I am in. & that is what bothers Star - that they went to school for four or ten years & they has to stand beside me."

The controversial "Real Housewives" star claims that her hate for Jones started when they tried to pit cast member LaToya Jackson against her.

"(The Lohans) approached me, & they did discuss it. It is not the right time," Trump told Life & Style journal. "Lindsay has to straighten herself out first.... It could happen in the future, but right now they must see Lindsay get straightened out."

While the celebs participating stay mostly D-List, Trump claims they had to turn down upwards of 35 people, including troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan.

The last season of the show raised over $1.25 million for charity & was won by Bret Michaels, while the low-rated regular people version of "The Apprentice" concluded in December.

Eva Longoria thinks we’re idiots.

Eva Longoria thinks we're idiots. This is what reduces k. Yesterday we had an attempt at compassion Eva divorce after complaining party, such as "sad" it is for them to be without Tony Parker.


Allure interview was published the same day Eva was photographed by Eduardo Cruz, Penelope Cruz's younger brother. Shortly after they separated, and Tony Parker, Eva began meeting with Eduardo.

And when I say "immediately after" I know it was basically a couple of weeks in mind. Eva with Eduardo pushed the story that would make a tabloid, it was mostly OK strategic diversion! Magazines such as Eva "accidentally" leave your house with short dress and Eduardo walked, all by the paparazzi.


Since then, Eva has been pap'ing slow, and do not have access to one of several public photos Makeout anything. You can see pictures of today here at the magazine Us Weekly. Disneyland Eva and Eduardo - Eduardo looks set to "play" to strangle her friends. Because they are so sad about her divorce, right? However, reports Life & style Eduardo Eva moved into his house:


    Who said the destruction was hard to do? Life & Style Scene Queens learned that only four months after the planned separation from her husband Tony Parker, Eva Longoria have a shelter with a friend, Eduardo Cruz.


    During the session, to determine the Chateau Marmont on 7 March, we learned of Eva, he said. "Baby, will be so great every day to be with you I can not wait until you move the" divorce is on the side of Eve, was completed January 28, actress Penelope Cruz and her younger brother were warming in any place on the yacht in Miami to Hollywood Cabaret Club.


"You can not stop flowing from her husband," says the insider Scene Queens. "Eva, said he found his true love."



[From Life & Style]

Look, not only does Eva induced uncontrolled rule literally do anything for attention. This is what she thinks you really will not notice the obvious fraud.


I'd like something more than Eve, and Eve were when they want, "Tony and I do not work, all I have a new young stallion." - It's a pity party and the amount.

Rihanna talks about her bastard father in Vogue

As we did last week, to see Rihanna in April cover girl of Vogue. Here are some photos of Annie Leibovitz are his paintings. too many big plans for my taste, fashion and not enough. Moreover, it seems very un-shooting Leibovitz.


It reads more like Mario Testino, which is strange. Anyway, it became a cover, Rihanna wore Chanel. I still like a dress - it's just awkward body language mistakes Rihanna. In any case, there are plenty of excerpts from the interview yet, but here are some:


    Rihanna was injured before, but this time it was from someone who had known all his life. Singing sensation told how their relationship broke with his father after he was exhausted in the media.

    In the April issue of Vogue magazine, said that the superstar age 23, his father Ronald Fenty recently exhibited his laundry in the tabloids, and gave them rights to some photos of his childhood.



    "I really wonder what I do with my father. What can I say?" Tears of Rihanna told the magazine. "It's really strange. This is the only word that I think you can describe, because growing up with his father, you know, you're part of it, for God's sake! And then something I want to do, so it is strange that do not start me to wrap my mind around it. You've heard scary stories about people going behind his back and doing strange things, but you're always thinking, not my family. My father never know that for me .



    Despite having a hard time to understand your subject, this is not the first time I cheated. After Chris Brown attacked two years ago, Fenty called the media to offer my two cents.



    "It was the first time," he continued. "My father went to the press and told them a pack of lies. Because it was not me ... ... everyone was talking about. He was never called to see how I did when I lived there it was. Just never anything did not call. He went straight to the press and received a check. And now he does it again. "

    But after several attempts, Rihanna is trying to fix a broken relationship. "Now I like that I tried."



[From Rap-Up]

Wow, I never knew his father was a bastard Rihanna. I just went with his family to stay for a short period of time after Chris Brown beat the hell out of it? Maybe they stayed with family members, rather than his father.
