A group of Japanese film-makers were in for a rude awakening when they thought they could breach security at the Beckham’s Spanish estate. They were sneaking around trying to make a documentary about homes of the rich and famous when an eagle-eyed security guard confronted them with a gun. Victoria and her one year old son, Cruz, were home, but the couple’s other two children were at school and David was off training. It turned into this huge drama, and the suspicious filmmakers were carted off to the police station:

A BODYGUARD to the Beckhams pulled a GUN on three intruders in a kidnap scare at the couple’s Spanish home, the News of the World can reveal.

The armed minder dramatically confronted them seconds after they slipped through a metal gate and headed towards the £5million mansion where Posh, 32, and one-year-old son Cruz were inside.

The burly guard—who spotted the three on CCTV at a security post —sprinted across the grounds into their path, pointed his pistol at them and screamed: “Stop! Stop! Don’t move! I have a gun.”

The shocked men put up their hands and blurted out that they were Japanese journalists filming a documentary about houses of the rich and famous.

But the guard kept his weapon pointed at them, shouting: “Give me the camera! Give me the camera!” He only lowered the pistol when one of the intruders carrying a digital camcorder gingerly handed it over.

Six armed cops in marked police cars then screeched up to the house after a call from the Beckhams’ security team and took the men away.

Former England captain Becks, 31, was at Real Madrid’s training ground when the 11am drama unfolded on Tuesday. Elder sons Brooklyn, seven, and Romeo, four, were at school.

The men were only released when police were convinced their story was true. A source close to the couple said: “The guard had no idea if these men were kidnappers, robbers or crazed stalkers planning to attack Victoria.

Supposedly there was a 2002 plot to kidnap Victoria so the bodyguard was not overreating. Well, at least no one got hurt.

Kirsten Dunst could be pregnant! Star magazine claims that she has a baby bump, back pain, morning sickness and an unnatural interest in the pregnancies of her coworkers:

Kirsten Dunst has been generating rumors that she may be the next famous actress to be sporting a baby bump on the set of her upcoming film Spiderman 3. She has been spotted wearing baggy clothing, ordering big boxes of sweet chocolaty treats, and overheard complaining of lower back pain and nausea during filming. Her rep denies that these tell-tale signs are signaling that Kirsten is a mom-to-be, but her interest in co-star Tobey Maguire’s newborn daughter suggests otherwise. Kirsten has become fascinated by details about the pregnancy of Tobey’s fiancée, Jennifer Meyer, asking how she dealt with morning sickness. When Tobey replied that Jennifer felt awful throughout the entire nine months, Kirsten just groaned, “Oh great!” If Kirsten is anticipating her own nine-month struggle, fans wonder, who’s the daddy? Kirsten dated her Marie Antoinette costar Jason Schwartzman briefly in October, and recently announced her relationship with Orlando Bloom in November. But Kirsten was seen with former-love Jake Gyllenhaal this month too. They weren’t cuddling or all over each other, so maybe the old flames simply reunited to share some new baby news!

[From the Star magazine e-mail newsletter]

I don’t know if I quite believe this, but it could be true! Kirsten recently mused that she’d like to go to art school, and it sounds like she’s looking for interests outside of Hollywood. A baby could be just the fulfillment she needs to replace days of smoking, drinking and thrift store shopping.

Could it be Orlando Bloom’s baby, and will the notorious ladies man stick around long enough to help her out? These two just were linked together so it’s possible she was already pregnant when she met him. I can’t wait to see how this one turns out.

This may fall under the “who cares” news of the day, but it’s causing a sensation amongst the Bollywood scene in India.

Even though Aishawarya Rai has been denying for months that she’s in a relationship with her Umrao Jaan co-star Abhishek Bachchan, it does not explain why Aish recently snuck away with the Bachchan family to a prominent Hindu temple. Some reports are saying the family reportedly went to see an astrologer about Aishwarya’s horoscope (it’s not good) because it’s preventing them from finding an auspicious wedding date.

Family astrologer Chandramouli Upadhyaya, who met the Bachchans last night, said while there was no discussion on the marriage, they came to Varanasi to offer prayers to overcome a problem relating to Aishwarya’s horoscope.

There have been reports that the wedding plans of the two actors were getting delayed due to a problem in Aishwarya’s horoscope.

Tripathi, however, said he was not aware why the Bachchans had performed the prayers and that there was no specific ritual undertaken to reduce the influence of Mars on them.

Making sure the horoscopes of a prospective bride and groom are compatible is very important to Hindu marriage cermonies. If the stars aren’t aligned properly for the bride and groom, it could spell disasterous for the couple. The Bachchans are saying it was just a normal religous ceremony and had nothing to do with an upcoming wedding. Either way, what we do know is that she participated in all the religous rituals as a member of the family would, leading many people to believe, perhaps they are already married.

What I’m wondering is, if Aishwarya’s horoscope was really that messed up, why didn’t she go and do this religious thing with her own family? Unless, the Bachchans ARE a part of her family, or soon to be? Clearly Aishwarya is hiding something.

In the past, Aishwarya has been quoted as saying:

“Marriage is an institution I believe in. I think it is a beautiful institution, and definitely one I’ll happily be entering whenever God defines or decides, and an announcement will be made. It is not something I’d want to keep hidden or not let be known. I’ll definitely announce it.”

The question really is WHEN will she announce it. Below are some paparazzi photos taken at the temple showing Aishwarya with Abhishek Bachchan and his family, who are the most powerful celebrity family in Bollywood. Aishwarya is wearing no makeup in these pictures, which is humbling, because I was beginning to think she looked like a made-up diva all the time. Underneath it all, she’s got under-eye circles just like the rest of us.

Britney Spears was supposed to host the Billboard music awards in Vegas with Paris Hilton next week, and their people were in negotiations for it, but Britney pulled out with no explanation.

Speculation is rampant that Britney has soured on Paris, but the more likely explanation is that someone took her aside and told her to get her shit together, put on some panties, and stay at home with her kids for a couple of nights. Making a scheduled public appearance with Paris will only remind everyone of the three separate sets of punane-baring pictures of Britney that are floating around on the web. (If you don’t believe me that she did it three different times, just look at the clothes she’s wearing in each picture series linked above.)

After nearly a week of clubbing, partying and shopping in LA with new BFF, Paris Hilton, Us has learned exclusively that Britney Spears has abruptly pulled out of co-hosting with the heiress on the Fox Billboard Music Awards, scheduled to air live on December 4.

“She pulled out,” confirms a source with Fox. “She didn’t give a reason.”

The source tells Us that Hilton is still a possible host despite losing Spears as a sidekick. Other sources confirm that as recent as this morning, agents for both Hilton and Spears were hashing out the final terms of the contract, but at 5pm today, Spears had backed out of negotiations.

“We really don’t know the reason. But we’re disappointed she backed out.” says a Fox source.

Brad Garrett, the big guy from “Everybody Loves Raymond” is the potential replacement for Paris and Britney, so it’s not like it’s a prestigious hosting gig. Paris may also host solo.

Why are all these lesser music awards using inexperienced hosts like Lindsay and Paris? Maybe no one watches them, but a 20-something celebrity known for her skill in partying and shopping is not a good choice to host an awards show.

Britney was seen leaving a restaurant on Monday night with a fur coat on and a wine glass in her hand before she got in her car and had trouble finding the ignition. She wore a yellow knit cap to hide her shedding extensions and had glasses on in a vain attempt to look studious. She was photographed at some other point that night with an orange tank top on and no bra.

Meanwhile Paris, Britney and Lohan are no longer the three slutsketeers after Paris and Lohan are said to have fought it out at Hyde Monday night. Paris is said to have told Lohan “you’re a fucking coked-out whore; don’t ever say you’re my friend again!” with Lohan leaving all upset.

Oh boo hoo. Go buy some more sex toys and get photographed again Lohan. That coochie-showing trick is completely old. Or maybe you could visit a library or a book store. That might be a good way to get some attention.

Britney actually stayed home last night, Tuesday, as none of the paparazzi websites have pictures of her out. Or maybe they were all too freaking tired to keep up with her.

Here are photos of Paris, Britney and Lindsay on Monday. Lindsay is seen with a pair of $1,000 diamond-studded handcuffs since the help is so unreliable at keeping her men by her side. Pictures from Splash News Online.

In case you’re not familiar with the Wiggles, they’re four singing Australian guys who have a massively popular children’s television show. Celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow, Britney Spears, and Travis Barker have mentioned that their children love the Wiggles.

The yellow Wiggle, Greg, who sings and drives the Big Red Car, has been suffering a mystery illness for months. He’s been having fainting spells and doctors have yet to figure out what’s wrong with him.

The Wiggles Racing to the Rainbow Show is due to start in Perth tomorrow, and they’ve released a statement saying they’re going to make an announcement soon. it is expected that Wiggle Greg will not be touring due to his sickness:

A press release, issued this morning, states: “The Wiggles are set to make a major announcement relating to members of the group before they begin their national … tour in Perth tomorrow.”

After months of battling a mystery illness, Page is expected to announce that he will quit the group.

During the group’s recent US tour, Page was replaced by his understudy Sam Moran in July because of the illness.

Page has been under a cloud in recent months, after contracting the illness, which has included regular fainting spells.

The Wiggles publicist, Dianna O’Neill, would not discuss what the press conference was about, but did confirm Page’s illness.

“We don’t know what’s wrong with him - he’s had a lot of fainting spells, he’s had a lot of tests done to work it out. I spoke to him this morning and he said ‘Yes, I’m tired, but the doctors haven’t put a name to it yet, they just don’t know,’ ” she said.

She denied the illness was a nervous breakdown.

“It’s definitely not … it’s frustrating for him and everybody. We just want him to get better.”

There is no announcement yet on the official Wiggle website.

My son loves the Wiggles, and this is sad news. Best wishes to Greg for a complete and full recovery. The band won’t be the same without him.

Kate Winslet told a funny story on David Letterman about how she made an inadvertent play on words during a recent interview. She said the journalist asked her what was the most surprising thing she learned about Diaz while working with her on their upcoming film “The Holiday.” She wanted to explain that she was surprised how much Cameron eats considering how thin she is and said “Cameron Diaz could literally eat me under a table!”

Dave responds “Now there you’d have a move.”

Here’s the video, which also includes a promo for tonight’s episode featuring Richard Simmons:

Kate had another funny mishap during yesterday’s appearance on “Good Morning America.” Diane Sawyer showed an old breakfast ceral commercial clip featuring an 11 year-old girl that was thought to be Winslet. It was some other child actress, though, and Winslet didn’t have the heart to tell Sawyer on the air that it wasn’t her!

She explains, “Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of press. Odd things keep happening. People keep digging up little nuggets of research that they think no one has ever seen before and it’s not going quite according to plan. I was on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer, who is a wonderful, lovely woman and they thought they would surprise me by showing a clip of a breakfast cereal commercial that I was in when I was 11 years old, but it wasn’t me. I just didn’t have the heart to say, ‘Oh, God, Diane, I’m really sorry, but your researcher got it wrong. It’s just not me.’”

A stunned Winslet didn’t say anything at the time about the faulty clip because she didn’t want anyone to lose their job. She adds, “I just didn’t want the researcher to get fired!”

Here are pictures of Kate outside the Late Show studio, courtesy of ICYDK.

Get a load of that freaky picture of Tom sitting on a throne with Connor and his best man, the head of Scientology’s David Miscavige, beside him. Word is that Miscavige accompanied Tom and Katie on their honeymoon on that tug boat yacht in the Maldives. He must have been along to advise them of the best ways to start a marriage according to the random drug-fueled teachings of L Ron.

Christina Aguilera has been photographed out drunk off her ass several times, but at least she’s usually with her husband and keeps it in her pants/mini skirt. She also doesn’t have any kids at home to worry about, so more power to her.

She was carried out of a London club by one of her staff at 5:00 AM after having a few too many glasses of champagne with the Black Eyed Peas:

TINY Christina Aguilera is clearly a bit of a lightweight when it comes to drinking.

The Dirrty singer looked far from Beautiful as she was carried out of London’s Kabaret’s Prophecy club on a pal’s shoulders after a private party.

And amazingly the petite star had only sipped a few glasses of Veuve Clicquot and one vodka shot.

Our source explains: “Not only is she very little but she was quite tired because she’s in the middle of her tour.

“Her party still ran up a pretty sizeable £2,000 bar bill, mind you.”

Sexy Aggy, 25, looked demure in a fitted white jacket when she headed for the Soho club at 1.30am.

She grooved merrily with her dancers and The Black Eyed Peas until 5am when she made her piggyback exit and slumped into a limo.

Here’s Christina trying to hide under a jacket after her wild night out. Contrast the pictures below of her hiding her face with Britney’s recent drunken pictures letting it all hang out.

She is shown in the header image while out on November 21 in Dublin outside another club. Pictures from Christina-A.net
