Victoria and David Beckham spoke to London’s Mirror while promoting their new fragrance line in Italy. Victoria was quite upfront in the interview and I have a lot more respect for her after reading it. She seems like a person who struggles with her self esteem, but it sounds like she’s finding her place in the world and is getting stronger every day.

Victoria said she wants a girl, but that now isn’t a good time:

She said her big butt in the perfume ads wasn’t altered that much and that she was just bending over funny:

Victoria admits she wasn’t a great singer, but now that she’s designing her own jeans and putting out a makeup line, she feels confident in her line of work:

And Victoria feels a bit inferior to her gorgeous husband, international football star Becks:

Victoria could gain a few pounds to up her sexy factor, but people do see her as sexy.

While she hasn’t met Suri yet, Victoria said she speaks to Tom Cruise on the phone often and said that he’s not strange like people say, and is “just a genuinely lovely caring person.” She called Katie Holmes “one of the most down-to-earth celebrities I’ve ever met,” and said she’s really good for Tom.

She revealed that David was upset at being dropped by England’s national team, and that he wears his heart on his sleeve. She asked if he wasn’t “one of the top 23 footballers in the country.”

David spoke of his pride in his boys’ interest and skill at football at such a young age. When asked about his favorite smells, a reference to their new perfume line, he said:

That’s so sweet! These two may preen a lot, but there’s something vulnerable and endearing about them.

Here are Victoria and David outside of the launch of their perfume line. Victoria’s skirt is see-through at the top, and you can see her panties in some of the shots. Of her outfit she said “I look like one of those dolls that sit on top of your toilet roll.” She does look like a doll, but that’s not a bad thing. [via]

MediaTakeOut reports that singer Christina Milian is broke after being dumped by her label, DefJam, and that if she doesn’t get picked up by another record label soon she’s facing financial ruin. They say she’s resorted to selling her clothes on eBay to make ends meet. Milian dismissed those charges on her myspace blog, saying that she has plenty of projects in the pipeline and that she’s just selling her stuff on eBay for fun. (I doubt Tori Spelling is selling her stuff for fun, though.)

Milian seems a bit defensive, but anyone would get defensive at those charges, and it could be true that she’s doing fine. Her name on eBay is “BeatDownPrincess” however, suggesting that she’s having some trouble. What interests me is that she makes the dreaded all caps newbie mistake and has multiple spelling errors in her postings:

She includes pictures of herself at events wearing the clothes. That’s cute that she’s selling stuff on eBay, but her descriptions leave something to be desired.

Hopefully Christina’s singing career will pick up, because I don’t see her falling back on temp work.

Lindsay Lohan just can’t slow down. The girl loves talking about herself, and she really likes looking at herself too. She told I-d Magazine that she doesn’t read the tabloids, but she does look at her own pictures. Big surprise:

[from the September, 2006 issue of I-d Magazine, print edition]

One of those “things” is put out a book of photographs of herself and her friends, including Karl Lagerfeld, who she brags about knowing, She talks about charity, too, but it’s doubtful she’ll ever get to it with all the other crap she’s planning:

She goes on to talk about her plans to visit Iraq while channeling Marilyn Monroe.

This girl is so full of shit. She admitted as much this week by saying that she “says things that aren’t true a lot.” That’s called lying, Lindsay! Is everyone else as sick of this girl’s bullshit as I am?

Britain’s The Sun reports that Lindsay plans to open a tattoo parlor in LA! Let’s hope this isn’t true:

Lindsay, girl, slow down. You’re going to burn out more than your voice.

Remember that baby clothing venture that I was making fun of Britney for forgetting about just a couple of days ago? It seems she hasn’t dropped it after all. Word is she asked Charlie Sheen, who launched his own “Sheen Kids” line just when his estranged wife decided to air a bunch of dirt on him, if she can collaborate with him for help launching her own line of baby clothes:

That’s smart of Britney to get help from someone who already has a line of children’s clothing out. It’s rare of her to ask for advice and she should be commended.

Meanwhile Anna Nicole Smith has asked Britney to hang out with her. She’s posted a message on her stupid video diary telling Britney she’d love to be her friend:

Smith is pretty dumb if she thinks that Britney’s due date is just around the same time as hers. Maybe she’ll get some free baby clothing out of the deal, though. She’ll need the help since her website isn’t really bringing in the subscribers.

Kevin Federline has been quoted talking about a magazine he and Britney plan on launching that will counter the gossip and fake news made up by the tabloids:

This sounds like one of those things you talk about with your spouse when you’ve had a few, like “Wouldn’t it be great if I started my own business?” and then they go and tell your friends about it when you haven’t really thought it through and didn’t want the news to come out.

I really doubt Britney and Kevin are clever enough to harness the talent to start a huge venture like this. Britney couldn’t even accept help getting prepared for a primetime TV interview, so this unlikely to happen.

Remember when Britney was said to be creating her own line of baby clothing and even took out a trademark for it? What happened with that?

She’s suing a bunch of tabloids from overseas in the hopes of getting some cash, so that’s probably where she got this half-baked idea.

I already published these pictures of Britney at Kevin’s Pure video shoot, but the only other recent pictures are blurry ones of Britney driving around talking on her cell phone, which seem too lame to post.

Ashton Kutcher will star in a romantic comedy loosely based on the 1975 Warren Beatty film Shampoo, in which he plays a florist:

Kutcher and his partner Kevin Bisch came up with the idea for the film, which they sold to Columbia pictures for a reported $1.5 million.

Here is Kutcher at Dodger stadium for a Dodger Angels baseball game on 5/21. He’s looking rather rough, but maybe the thought of playing a florist lead him to grow a beard to assert his masculinity.

A lot of people like Gwen Stefani, and it’s nice that she’s pregnant and married. I can’t stand her, although I do publish pictures of her and haven’t said anything about it yet. She hired a bunch of American-born Asian women to follow her around and act like they enjoy behaving like Japanese kept women. Their contract even stipulated that they couldn’t talk. Gwen may want to capitalize on the harijaku culture, but what she did is like having minstrels accompany her because she thinks African culture is cool.

Her new line of baby shoes is ridiculous. The designs are aimed at urban minorties who are more style-conscious in general, and statistically have less money. A pair of baby shoes from Gwen’s line costs $50 a pair. Babies don’t really need shoes until they can walk, but the sizes only come in sizes 0-3. My kid was a siize 5 by the time he could walk.

So Gwen’s new line of baby shoes, which she has called “so cute,” are expensive accessories meant for babies who don’t even need them.

There are people from all walks of life who want to buy expensive shit for their children. My cousin, for instance, has money and spends it on baby items that are obsolete within a couple of months. These shoes are aimed at style-conscious urban mothers who often can’t afford it. Is it Gwen Stefani’s fault that people buy crap they can’t afford and don’t need? No, but she’s catering to it. These shoes are undoubtedly manufactured overseas in sweatshop-like conditions, and could surely have a lower price. (If you have evidence that this is not true, please send a link, because I looked around.) Is Gwen the only designer guilty of this? Of course not. If the damn shoes are so expensive, though, they could at least be made in the US.

Back to our regularly scheduled escapism. Here are the shoes and Gwen herself, who just had an second over the top baby shower attended by other celebrities like Christina Aguilera.

Gwen is due to have her first baby with fellow rocker Gavin Rossdale in June.

Charlie Sheen is involved in an incredibly stupid business venture: he launched a line of children’s clothing this weekend!

Unfortunately for Sheen, the clothing line was in the works from some time, and announced over two months ago. The launch couldn’t come at a worse time for him, because the allegations in his wife’s divorce deposition are explosive.

The divorce statement from Denise Richards acquired by The Smoking Gun is pretty incredible and well worth the time to read. Richards says that Sheen:

Tara Reid has lamented the fact that people don’t take her seriously as an actress after she’s photographed stumbling all over town in various states of undress. Well it looks like her prayers have been answered and she no longer has to resort to swiping swag, because her brother has created a role custom made for her as the girlfriend of a professional bowler.

A source at ONTD reports that producers were looking for unpaid extras. If they can’t even afford to pay a paltry sum to the poor extras, what’s the film going to look like? It’s gonna suck…

Here’s Tara rocking the early 90s makeup with a friend outside of Cafe Med. This guy is probably gay, as you can see in these earlier pictures of him with the party girl.

Sienna Miller got hair extensions put in while she was in NY this week. She looks much more feminine with a return to her long hair, but her tresses are looking ratty and used already, much like the actress herself.

Miller just signed a $4 million contract to become the new face of Pepe Jeans. Currently the news is only available in papers from India, so we’re not sure if the ad campaign is limited to India or if it will be seen worldwide. With that much money changing hands, it’s probably global:

Here is Sienna in NY on April 6th and a second set of photographs of her visit to the hairdresser.
