David Beckham Tries to Hide His Presents

trix — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:02:00 GMT

The Beckhams are spending Christmas in the U.K., but David Beckham did a little shopping before he hopped on the plane.

David was spotted at Saks 5th Avenue in Los Angeles, loading up on presents for his family.

It looks like David is trying to avoid the cameras, he doesn't want them to spoil Christmas by getting a glimpse of the goods he bought.

I like that the Beckhams usually have their kids with them when they are running errands.

Babies for Barrowman?

Whit Honea — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:21:00 GMT

Scottish-American actor John Barrowman is building a house by the sea and he wants to fill it with the pitter-patter of little feet.

Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness on the hit BBC show "Torchwood" (a spin-off from "Doctor Who") and Scott Gill, his partner of 15 years, are ready to take the next step in family.

Says Barrowman, "We're building a house in Cardiff on the beach. We're going to have six bedrooms in it and we feel like we've got a lot to offer."

Hey, got to put something in there.

While discussing the idea of family and the attitude towards same-sex parenting he drops a great nugget: "a family unit is what you make a family unit."

Simple and true, Barrowman, simple and true.

Liz Hurley and Damian

Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian had some fun in the sun. That's a rarity in the U.K.- the sun, not the fun.

Peter Andre to Adopt?

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:22:00 GMT

Peter Andre and Jordan, aka Katie Price, have a pretty good thing going. Fame, money, family, ~~talent~~, boobs, basically the whole package. However, there is something that Andre and his respective sauce haven't done and it's leaving a bit of a hole in his heart.

Actually, it's a rather serious and sweet thing that he's talking about, so forget I was making fun of him in the above paragraph. He wants to adopt Harvey. Harvey is Katie's son from a previous whatever it was, but Peter has been raising him as his own. He would love for that to be official.

Says Andre, "I'd love to adopt Harvey. If I was allowed, I would love to. It's a big process and not that easy. It's something I would definitely love to achieve in the next couple of years.

"He IS my son - he's mine."

Maybe that Dad of the Year award went to the right guy after all.

As an added bonus, please enjoy the following video of the couple performing a cover of Disney's "A Whole New World."

Peter Andre and Daddies Sauce: He's a Winner

Whit Honea — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 19:02:00 GMT

This just in (like three days ago, but there were so many jokes it needed to settle), Peter Andre was recently voted the U.K.'s Dad of the Year by 2,000 moms. No, that's not the joke, although I would be interested in seeing Andre and America's Dad of the Year, Mr. K. Fed, go at it for the free world title. Maybe a pseudo-celebrity death match?

No, the humor is in the company that sponsors said voting by 2,000 ~~insane women~~ moms- Daddies Sauce. Yes, Daddies Sauce, as in Daddies brand sauce, or, if you're immature like me, baby batter. This from the country that brought us Spotted Dick in the can. I think I want a job writing menus for British pubs. The possibilities are endless.

The Young One of Oasis

Whit Honea — Sun, 25 May 2008 21:08:00 GMT

Liam Gallagher's son Gene is just a chip off the old bowl, er block, isn't he? The lads were seen outside London's NOBU where they apparently got haircuts with their soup. That's another bowl joke. Gene gave the press a quick "Gallagher."

For those of you unfamiliar with the two-fingered salute it's basically a British version of the "bird" (not Coltrane, but the middle finger).

Liam is rather partial to the gesture himself, and as such is probably quite proud.

Pregnant Posh! Beckham Baby on the Way!

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 May 2008 22:58:00 GMT

The British tabloid Closer is reporting that Victoria Beckham is pregnant. Posh and husband David Beckham have 3 boys and have made no secret of their desire for a little girl. Rumors have been circulating for awhile that the couple might be expecting, but recently the speculation has increased. It's even been noted that Posh hasn't been drinking! What! It must be true. Everyone knows that a sober star is a pregnant star.

David Beckham Applies the Pressure

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:59:00 GMT

Apparently dads in the U.K. think that David Beckham is some sort of superdad, and frankly, they don't like it. Recent polls show that many dads in the U.K. are feeling more pressure to spend time with their families and the guy that they are looking to for inspiration is Becks.

Really?

Sure, David Beckham spends a lot of time with his kids and seems to be a pretty decent guy, but that doesn't elevate him to 'super' status. In America we just call that parenting. Pressure not required.

London Calling or The British Smell a Rat: John Simm and Family

Whit Honea — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:43:00 GMT

I'll be honest, other than Remy I have no idea who these people are. However, in the interest of building a better bridge of goodwill between North America and our friends in the U.K. I will feature a few photos from the Disney/Pixar hit Ratatouille premiere which recently had its premiere in London.

This cat (Cat,where?! Get it? That's rat humor, or what passes for it in these parts.) is named John Simm and he is/was the star of a show popular in Britain called Life on Mars. With him are his wife Kate and six-year-old son Ryan.

What's funny is that when I first saw these photos I thought they were set in a Disney park or sound stage, but apparently they are just on a street in London. Pretty nice, don't you think?
