David and Victoria Beckham are planning to sell their British mansion.
The couple bought the $28.7 million estate - dubbed Beckingham Palace - in Hertfordshire shortly after tying the knot in 1999. Having relocated to Los Angeles in 2007 so David could play football for LA Galaxy, the Beckhams - who are worth more than $255 million - reportedly want to sell off their properties in England and France and focus on life in America.
"David and Victoria have been wanting to sell up for a couple of years now but the timing was never right. They didn't want to lose money, putting their homes up for sale during a slump in the property market. So, after getting it valued two years ago, decided to hold off until now," a source said.
They are believed to have lavished $28.7 million on the 22-acre home - which they bought for $4 million - so that it now features a petting zoo, indoor and outdoor pools, studio, gym and tennis courts.

Kris Humphries has hit out at people who "do things just for money."
The basketball player's reality TV star wife Kim Kardashian filed for divorce last year just 72 days after their lavish nuptials and although detractors have claimed they married for money, in what could be perceived as slight at Kim, Kris insists he is a "genuine" person.
"I am a genuine person who says it like it is. I only like to be involved with things I truly believe in. It's the kind of person I am. A lot of people do things just for money, but that's not for me. I'm used to [negativity]. I'm comfortable being in my own skin and being out there," he told Life&Style.
Meanwhile, Kris, 27, says he is moving on from his failed marriage by attempting to inject some fun into his life: "I'm really just going with the flow right now, trying to have fun in life. I just want people to see the lighter side to me. Life is too serious sometimes - people take things too seriously. I think everyone should be able to make fun of themselves and just have fun."

Kris Humphries is planning to "set the record straight" about his marriage to Kim Kardashian.
The NBA player has responded to claims he is seeking a $7 million settlement from the reality star despite having signed a pre-nuptial agreement that entitles him to nothing.
"No demands have been made. While we are encouraged to see an apparent willingness by the other side to put big numbers out in an attempt to settle Mr. Humphries' claims, we respect and will continue to observe the integrity of the legal process. One thing is certain: Kris Humphries intends to set the record straight," his lawyers said in a statement.
Meanwhile, his legal team has vowed to give Kris his day in court. "Much effort and energy to misdirect the public's perception of what transpired between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries has taken place over the past several months. This case will not be resolved in the court of public opinion amidst ridiculous and defamatory allegations and personal attacks directed against Kris Humphries. Rather, this case will be appropriately investigated and litigated professionally and with integrity," the statement continued.

David Beckham Talks Like an American
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Celebrity Babies, Style,
David Beckham is starting to talk like an American.
The British-born footballer - who moved to Los Angeles with wife Victoria in 2007 to play for LA Galaxy - admits he is losing his London twang.
"I catch myself calling my kids 'dude' every once in a while, so there are a few words creeping in. And using American words like elevator instead of lift," he said.
Since departing the UK, 37-year-old Victoria has left behind her Spice Girl roots and forged a successful career for herself as a fashion designer. And according to David, their sons Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz have inherited their mother's sense of style:
"They're at the age when they want to wear their own things. You've got the oldest, Brooklyn, and he'll wear his soccer shirts and a T-shirt. Romeo is the fashion one, so he'll go in and pick up skinny jeans and a vintage T-shirt and a funny hat. Cruz loves Justin Bieber, so anything he's got Cruz wants, like the big high-tops with skinny jeans. They all have their own style."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Celebrity Babies, Where Are They Now?,
Kendra Wilkinson believes her "15 minutes" of fame are up.
The 26-year-old glamour model - who lived in the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends before leaving to marry former NFL star Hank Baskett in 2009 - thinks her time in the spotlight has come to an end.
The Kendra reality star admits, "My 15 minutes of fame are up!" although she insists she is happy to take a back seat while her husband tries his hand at television work.
"He is going to become a big time host, he is so good at hosting. You have got to watch out for him!" she told In Touch.
The couple - who have two-year-old son Hank Jr - have put plans for family expansion on the back-burner until their future is more certain: "We are trying to figure out our careers. We don't know what is going on now. Why get pregnant and make it even worse, or more confusing?"

Jessica Simpson "couldn't wait" to pose naked. The heavily-pregnant star - who has previously struggled with her fluctuating weight - bared all for the cover of Elle magazine and admitted she is currently feeling more confident about her body than ever.
"Normally I'm hoping to be 107 pounds and I don't eat, but I ate cheesecake before we shot. I wasn't nervous at all, Normally, I'm so shy. I'm not the person you see photographed in a bikini on a beach. But for some reason, being pregnant, it's so easy for me. I feel so comfortable in my skin."

Gerard Butler is in rehab.
The Bounty Hunter star is currently at the Betty Ford Center in California, where he is receiving treatment for substance abuse. According to TMZ.com, Gerard entered the facility three weeks ago after realizing he was becoming dependent on prescription drugs. His problems were allegedly triggered by the physical demands of shooting 300 in 2006 when he started taking painkillers to cope with numerous injuries he got while shooting the action film. The problem got worse when the 42-year-old actor was filming Of Men and Mavericks when he was badly hurt in December during a surfing accident.
Gerard is set to leave the facility today.
In December, the Scottish star was said to have cheated death by seconds during his surfing accident, which saw him trapped underwater after being hit by a series of waves. Gerard got caught in a 12ft swell while filming Of Men and Mavericks - which tells the true life story of late surfing icon Jay Moriarty - at the infamous big-wave Northern Californian surfing spot Maverick's. After being pulled from the water onto a jet ski, he was taken to shore and driven to Stanford Medical Center where he was kept under observation for one night.

Khloe Kardashian Never Got Kris Humphries
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television, Divorce,
Khloe Kardashian was "rubbed up the wrong way" by former brother-in-law Kris Humphries.
The 27-year-old star admits she was upset by Kris - who was married to her sister Kim for just 72 days last year - from the first time she met him because he was quick to discuss her own one-month pre-marriage relationship with now husband Lamar Odom.
"I personally didn't mesh well with Kris before they got married. The very first time I met him he said, 'No one gets married after 30 days. How much longer are you gunna put up with this charade for?' That's kind of rude. He just rubbed me up the wrong way. My guard was up because I wasn't crazy about him."
However, she admits she did tell Kim - who has been married once before - she did not think he was the one for her: "I gave my opinion. Which everyone saw in the wedding special! We're sisters. I'm very honest, I'll tell you how I feel. With Kim I said my piece. I want her to be happy, and if that makes her happy then fine."
