"beckham" news and stories

You only turn 32 once and Victoria Beckham knows it. The wife of footballer David Beckham and former Spice Girl celebrated her birthday with a blowout dinner party at the couple's Madrid home. The highlight of the night was unquestionably the dinner. They flew in Mark Edwards, head chef at London's Nobu, and his team to serve a meal at a cost of £200 per person ($350). There was also a significant cost to Beckham just to pry the chef away for a night, reportedly in the neighborhood of £10,000. The meal consisted of 11 courses, including Posh's favorite edamame and scallops, seared salmon with tomato and miso, a variety of sashimi, grilled sea bass, low-fat seared steak, skewered beef, dumplings, exotic fruits and sorbet desserts. There was also a birthday cake, of course, served with green tea and chocolates.

The chocolate fountain is now officially the totem of faux-luxe extravagance and over-the-top pop materialism. Why? David Beckham bought one for his lovely wife, Victoria (a.k.a. Posh Spice). Evidently, though, it wasn't his idea - he used a personal shopper from Harrod's.

Victoria's chocolate fountain was stocked with Belgian chocolate and delivered with fruits and assorted sweets for dipping. No word on whether those Beckham boys - Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz - got their own miniature versions.
