Germany’s most prestigious award show, The Bambis, were on last night and I watched them for a while. There wasn’t as much hype as American awards shows and they seemed rather subdued in comparison, although there were a lot of excellent musical guests. The German reality shows lack the manufactured drama of the American reality shows, so it’s not surprising that the awards are kind of matter-of-fact too. There were awards for sports, arts and culture as well as films and acting. Here’s an article in German with a list of winners.

Samuel L Jackson was honored for his film career. Victoria Beckham was also on hand to help present the fashion award to Roberto Cavalli. She sauntered on stage in a tight Cavalli gold metallic asian dress. She made a joke to Wetten Das presenter Thomas Gottschalk that his shirt matched her outfit and ended up doing a little dance with him on stage.

The most interesting thing that happened on camera was that she kind of half-tripped while walking down the stairs afterwards but caught herself. It wasn’t too obvious, but you could tell she was a little embarassed. It’s at the very end of the video below.

Here’s the video. I actually taped it, but Schmudo at YouTube has ripped it already:

TMZ is reporting that Victoria tried to get the Associated Press to sign some sort of confidentiality agreement that they wouldn’t publish her pictures from the event or reveal anything they learned about her or something. It sounds weird, but if you read between the lines it kind of suggests she’s preggo:

At the Bambi arts awards ceremony in Germany, Associated Press said “no thanks” to the Spice Girl by refusing to sign an agreement in which Posh would limit their coverage of the alleged fashionplate, seen here in a gold embroidered bedspread from the Osaka Hilton.

The document, which also raised eyebrows with Reuters and two German photo agencies, would have allowed Beckham to get copies of all photos, with the ability to use them for promotional purposes, while restricting photogs from revealing “confidential information” they might learn about the former Spice Girl during the ceremony. Gosh, Posh, what are you hiding?

The organizers of the event eventually came up with another agreement which would allow AP to cover the event as long as they promised not to take any pictures of Beckham. They shot down the agreement, forgoing coverage of the show. The other agencies agreed, but said they would purposefully not take photos of her in protest.

It’s also possible that the “confidential information” involves a seven pound weight gain. Posh no longer looks super-gaunt to me. It’s hard to tell if she’s got a baby bump though because of the busy print on the gown she’s wearing.

It’s not really true that all the other photo agencies shunned her George Clooney-style, because Splash News has pictures of the event. People are saying the dress is ugly and not worth photographing anyway, but she looked damn good on camera to me.

Most pictures from Splash News Online. Victoria is seen with Karl Lagerfeld, but presented an award to Roberto Cavalli.

Holy Hefty Cinch Sak, Batman! What is this? Is this the latest creation Posh dreamed up while multitasking in her bubble bath?

I don’t know if this cinched garbage bag number is from Posh’s new fashion line (to be released in January 2007), but if this is the preview, I don’t want to see the rest. Well, maybe I do…. but just for shits and giggles.

When Victoria Beckham’s kids asked her what she does all day she put the Spice Girls movie into the VCR, because she figured the WAG concept was just too hard to explain. Her kids loved the film so much that they watched it over and over. When her four year old son, Romeo, asked her if she had been out with the Spice Girls one day she didn’t have the heart to tell him that she was just shopping for a living, so answered “yes”:

She revealed in an interview with Britain’s Radio 1: “I showed the kids ‘Spice Girls: The Movie’ the other day, because being in Spain it’s all about football and all about daddy, and the kids said, ‘Mummy what did you actually do?’

“So I put on the movie, and they loved it and it was on heavy rotation. Then one day I had been out to work and when I came home Romeo came running up to me and said, ‘Mummy, have you been working with the Spice Girls?’

And I couldn’t let him down, so I said, ‘Yeah, mummy has been working with the Spice Girls’. And he said, ‘Have you been driving that bus mummy?’”

I had the pleasure of seeing Spice World in High Def about two years ago when my sattelite network Voom, which has since gone belly up, put it on heavy rotation. (They did have a lot of fabulous HD original content too, but their filler was basically cardboard.) I can see how it would be entertaining to a toddler, and it’s a bit less intellectually demanding than the average showed aimed at 3-6 year olds. Dora The Explorer has to visit three locations sequentially in a half an hour, but the Spice Girls just have to get to one concert gig and they have an hour and a half to do it.

That’s sweet and kind of disturbing that Victoria’s son thinks she runs around in little outfits getting in silly capers with a group of ditsy women, pausing for musical numbers. That’s not entirely untrue. I tell my kid all sorts of white lies, so I can hardly blame her. (”Yes, Daddy is coming home in a minute. Look - there’s a firetruck!”)

Unfortunately Posh might never be able to perform with the Spice Girls again. She said a reunion was unlikely now that all the former members are doing their own thing. Scary is several months pregnant with Eddie Murphy’s baby, so that would put a wrench in their plans too. They’ll always have Spice World.

Here is Victoria promoting her new book and outside of her hotel recently. Thanks to In Case you Didn’t Know for these pictures.

The Beckhams are in Venice to promote their new fragrance line. In a press conference interview they denied that Victoria is pregnant, but made no secret that they’d like another child and would like to try for a girl. David said that Tom Cruise’s daughter, Suri, is gorgeous and after seeing her pictures it makes him want a girl even more. Victoria said that she’d like to get pregnant again when the time is right, most likely next year

Victoria looked casually elegant in an off the shoulder Miu Miu dress, while David coordinated in a matching cap and a slightly darker vest thrown over an untucked shirt and jeans.

Britain’s Daily Star says that Victoria Beckham is pregnant with her fourth child. She has spoken opening about wanting a big family, and it was said that she was trying for a girl.

Her ultra-hot husband, Real Madrid soccer player David Beckham, was said to have put Posh on a carb-rich diet to encourage her to “fatten up” in preparation to become pregnant again. She doesn’t look to have gained much weight, though.

Posh and Beck have three boys: Brooklyn, 6, Romeo, nearly 4, and Cruz, one and a half, all born by cesarean section. Victoria has said that if she has a girl she would like to name her “Luna.” That’s not so bad for a celebrity baby name.

Here are pictures of Victoria and David Beckham at Nice airport on 8/14. She’s wearing a loose top, but she doesn’t look like she has a bump yet. [via]
