When Victoria Beckham helped launch the GREAT Campaign during Fashion Week in February, she looked
like the walking dead. Soz, VB, but Fashion Week with little Harper on hand couldn't have been
easy. The GREAT Campaign is designed to promote Britain abroad and Victoria is leading the charge
by looking charmingly adorable and well-rested.

know, the fun is mainly in the details. Exhibit A: David Beckham admitting he has a fetish for
snacking on that cutie patootie baby sundae of his. Harper does have a scrum-diddly-umptious set of
chubby wubby legs, doesn't she?

- Our mums always said don't let a guys' wrinkled clothes or dodgy bull fight hairstyles fool
you because it's what's inside their pants and underneath their shirts that counts. [ABC.es]
- Heart of Midlothian 'ballers, hang onto your 2012 Scottish Cup winners' medals.

"He is tough, it's a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of
underwear."
The fact that the President of the United States is compelled to think about David Beckham's
pants when he meets him makes us feel a little better about our own response towards those
ads.

Even though it's late on Friday, we just had to share this story of Vicky B as told by
the woman herself to Vanity Fair forgetting to pack an essential during a school run.
"I got up in the morning, and I knew that I had a whole morning full of conference calls.
This past week, David Beckham turned 37-years-old two days before Sex Fabregas celebrated his
25th b-day with girlfriend, Daniella Semaan, Leo Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo (who, from the photos
we saw, was with wine glass throughout the evening). Even though it freaks all of us out (David
included) to think of you both aging, a belated congratulations guys!
Harper Beckham: not easily impressed.
Some company wants to pay the youngest Beckham child a large swath of money in exchange for her
modelling services.
Harper Beckham is NINE MONTHS OLD.
Naturally, this story wreaks of a publicity stunt, but a good publicity stunt no less.

Moments after this photo was taken, this cabin crew member unclipped Mrs B's safety harness,
folded her up and locked her in an overhead luggage compartment, where she spent the rest of her
flight to China.
There are photos** of this as it happened, but strangely, Vicky chose not to tweet them.
Happy Birthday Vicky B! Images vía Hola magazine.
Victoria Beckham turns 38 today and we're severely unsure of how we feel about it.
Why should we fight our tepid feelings when we can waste time drawing comparisons between VB and
her second oldest, Romeo, based on their baby pictures instead?

There was a pool party at Eric Abidal's house over the weekend, but we rescinded our RSVP after
learning clothing was not optional.
Weekend went well for the rest of our Kickette Army we hope?
Saturday
- Sepp Blatter danced at a press conference.
We injured ourselves yawning this morning, which means that despite a fantastic name and an
idiot-proof promise, we won't be trying the anti-spill beer contraption anytime soon.
Related product shill shiznit: Shayk stripped off for flip flops, Florent Malouda rolled deep
to a game of Red Rover, Guti's girl Romina was hired by Herbal Essences and Cesc drove a
PUMA-donated Ferrari to practice (while shooting a commercial, there's a Formula 1 tie-in there
somewhere).
Ibrahim Affellay and a pack of his Barca teammates headed to the DSquared store in Milan earlier
today.
There's some serious weirdness going on in the world of football, Kickettes, and this time it's
got nothing to do with our staffers and their nefarious nocturnal activities.
Well, not all of it, anyway.
No, this is not a photo of a tangled Pomeranian. It's VB's old hair. Images via FameFlynet Pictures
Victoria Beckham's greatest hair hits reads like a salon catalog of available styles so we're
always looking forward to her next follicular adventure.
After rocking long wavy extensions for the past year or so, we're happy to see VB with a shorter
do again.
We'd rather enter The Hunger Games than the office on Mondays.
Is the feeling mutual?
Saturday
- Thierry Henry called out a New York Red Bulls kitman in an interview. Poor chap.
- Jack Wilshere was not FIFASTREET's last man standing, but it's still incredible how his
digital self survived an Aaron Ramsey goal nevertheless.
On Friday we started a new diet that only allowed us gin and tonics for 48 hours straight.
All in all, it was the first diet we ever seriously stuck to and as a result, we lost two whole
days!
Saturday
- Football pundit and former Strictly Come Dancing participant, Robbie Savage, announced via
Twitter that his hero and best friend his father had passed away at the age of 64.
David and Victoria's eldest turned 13-years-old over the weekend an age that typically brings an
end to a child's I-don't-mind-kissing-my-dad-on-the-lips-whilst-taking-a-ride-on-his-shoulders
era.
The whole family celebrated Brooklyn's coming of age on Sunday, which started with a boys-only
outing to the LA Lakers game (they ate nachos, chatted up Denzel Washington) followed by a "huge
party" at the Beckham compound.

The idea of being spoon-fed fruit by a loving Alex Pato is not one that appeals to us in any
way, so absolutely no hissy-fits, wailing and sounds of hip-flasks being hastily located and opened
were heard when we saw this image.
Oh, we're all going to hell anyway, so why would one more huge lie matter?
Victoria Beckham is gracing the pages of Madame Figaro this month, and although we can't read
much of what's on their cover, we're going to hazard a guess that the text is all about the "F"
word: her fabulous life, fabulous hubby, fabulous fashion business and all the fabulosity that
comes with it.

This wouldn't be the first of many posts over the next few years that are ripe for the title,
"David Beckham Embarrassing Dad", would it?
Cruz knows, but we aren't quite ready to accept it.
We've sifted through all the recent viral goodness found throughout the football blogosphere for
you, dear readers.
And for the uni Procrastination Planning 101 course that we're currently enrolled in.
1. Harper Beckham's Fashion Blog
Of all the sites on the internet and there are a lot the one that's surprised us most is
dedicated to Harper Beckham's style.

Little Harper Beckham did the unthinkable at JFK airport this afternoon on her mum (who handled
the well-timed paparazzi invasion like the seasoned pro that she is).
Out of all the cute kids in this familial clique, she's the one to watch, Kickettes.
Sometimes we have to sit back and think: we're changing the world with our intellectually
challenging, life changing reportage on key events happening around the globe.

Top of the morning to ya, Kickettes!
Hope you had a nice weekend filled with treats of the alcoholic and 'baller varieties.

to the launch of "NB Jewellery" where his first collection, "N3," was presented.

Kickettes, do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Whether or not a three-wish-granting genie pops out, I'd like to rub David Beckham's silver
statue bulge.
"I love underwear...it's as simple as that" David Beckham.
You know those women who can juggle ten things at once?
That's not us.
Saturday
- One of our readers named Patrick made our weekend after sending us a link to this abtastic
gallery of 'ballers.

Victoria Beckham, sole provider of Harper Seven's ridiculous wardrobe, covers the March 2012
edition of Numero Tokyo in a to-die-for turquoise leather trench.
To put things into perspective, this was the "highlight" of our weekends.
Saturday
- Former Paraguay striker, Salvador Cabanas, made his triumphant return to professional
football, two years after nearly dying from a gun shot to the head that's fragments are still
partially lodged in his skull.

on his Facebook page for the world to steal.
Kickettes, which state of commercial undress do you prefer to see from David Beckham?
A) Supremely shaped and styled in H&M boxer briefs (above).
Federico Macheda has been confounding our corneas again, this time with a lime green/blue hoop
combo. Nice! Image: Scott Heavey/Getty Images.
The January transfer window has been flung open once again and after the excitement of last
year, we thought a reasonably thorough look at the early hip dip movers and rump shakers was
needed.
ELLE magazine scored themselves a brace of WAGs to help them finish out the 2011 calendar in top
form. At left, one shot of Cristiano's girlfriend from this month's Spanish version of the famed

January.

Victoria Beckham is having the best week ever. She's got the cutest baby on the planet, she's
just won a major award and today she's debuted a fab video short for her S/S 2012 denim
collection.
Done exclusively for AnOther Magazine's website and directed by Quentin Jones, the
video is described as being:

We have little interest in doing much at the mo besides noshing on cake pops and waxing and
waning about our one & only.
Please forgive us. Or take pity on our lazy selves. Your choice.

It's been brought to our attention that our footy loyalties to hotness (first), thighs (second),
and cash flow (third) rather than to a particular team is not typical.

Can Victoria Beckham makes spats happen? Or will they go the way of "fetch?"
Victoria is in New York, where she spoke at the Women's Wear Daily Apparel & Retail CEO Summit
last night. She's the first woman to wear a look from her Spring 2012 collection and in doing so
wore the item that most perplexed us: spats.
DBecks has teamed up with Sainsbury's as their 'Million Kids Challenge' ambassador for the London
2012 Paralympic Games. According to him, he'll also be 'supporting the fantastic work they do to
help kids get active' with that slicked back combover he's got going on. Image Credit: David's

For those Kickettes who reside outside the United States of America, the celebratory
shenanigans above might imply that Houston Dynamos have just won the World Cup. They haven't, of
course. They're not eligible.

We look forward to seeing which smart-ass photographer takes this shot again in 2026, when the
Beckham boys have just led England through a successful European Championship Qualifying campaign.
Could happen.
Note: we didn't say European Championship campaign.
POOF! We just died and went to vampire heaven. Image via David's Facebook.

Our weekends were filled with Iker in tight pants-greatness, thank you for asking. How 'bout
yourselves, Kickettes?
Saturday
- John and Toni Terry attended the 'Fashion for Good' charity event at Brooklands Hotel just
at the beginning of the weekend.
