David Beckhams move to Italy has Victoria worried about her profile in LA

David Beckham’s imminent move to Italy to play for AC Milan is a shot in he arm for the soccer star but Victoria’s worried it’ll make her yesterday’s news in California.

She's has decided to join David in Milan, despite initially insisting that she’d stay in LA, but she doesn't want to leave Tinseltown.

It’s brought Victoria’s old insecurities back to the fore,’ an insider tells Now. ‘She fears she’s losing her grip in LA.’

Posh, 34, and David, 33, flew to New York on 25 November with their 3 boys, ostensibly to see Katie, 29, in her Broadway play All My Sons. In reality, the visit seemed to be about boosting their US profile before their Italian trip.

‘Victoria looked miserable the entire time,’ says a source. ‘David did his best at the theatre, but his face looked like thunder on their outing with the boys the following morning.'

Posh: I will not leave you, David

Worried Victoria Beckham is moving to Milan

Victoria Beckham’s decided not to take any chances. Rather than worrying about what husband David, 33, will get up to while she’s not around, she’s decided to go with him to Italy after all.

Instead of visits, Victoria, 34, will now join David for his whole time on loan to AC Milan. ‘It’ll be for two months – after the season finishes here in LA, David will go to train in Milan,’ she revealed last week. 



But a close friend tells Now: ‘Victoria wants to make sure David’s a good boy, without a repeat of what went wrong when he lived in Spain.’

Insiders hope the decision will let us see a happier Posh as she’s looked tired since David made his deal with AC Milan.

Victoria Beckham plans for David's move to Milan

Posh intends to spend much of her time in Italian fashion capital with her husband.

Victoria Beckham has devised a strategy to help her cope with husband David’s move to Italy in January.

The 33-year-old footballer is on loan to Italian club AC Milan for at least 2 months, and Posh, 34, has been worried about the disruption it will cause to her and their 3 sons – Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 3.

Now she has a plan to ease her fears, which includes extended visits to Milan and impromptu ‘check-ins’ on David.

‘She felt she had to take control of the situation,’ a source tells Now. ‘Having a plan that allowed her to be with David frequently, but still work on her career, was crucial for her.

‘She now aims to spend at least 8 days at a time in Milan. David will only have a few hours’ notice of Victoria’s arrival, so he won’t be too happy about that.’

She will also be making appointments to see fashion editors in Milan and attending fashion shows around Europe, so she’ll always be close by to keep an eye on her handsome husband.

David Beckham's gay pride

David Beckham was "proud" to be called the gayest straight and blackest white man in Britain.

The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star embraces the views of him as a fashion icon who is in touch with his feminine side.

When asked about being labelled the "gayest straight man in Britain and the blackest white man" David said: "Yes, I like that. When someone said that about me, it made me laugh and I was quite proud of it.


"To have that kind of effect on so many different people around the world, I was honoured. When people talk to me about being a gay icon I think of it as a great honour."

David attracted a new group of fans after wearing a sarong in 1998, admitting he used nail varnish and being interviewed by gay magazine 'Attitude'.

The 33-year-old sportsman insists he doesn't regret any of his fashion choices.

He added to GQ magazine: "If I see something I like I wear it. No matter what I think people are going to say about me. I don't do it for a statement, I do it because I like wearing different things."

David Beckham's private jet

David Beckham is planning to splash out on a £7 million jet so he can travel between his European soccer commitments and US-based family.

The 33-year-old star, who is rumoured to be joining Italian soccer team AC Milan on an eight-week loan from his current team Los Angeles Galaxy, is contemplating purchasing a luxury Bombardier Learjet so he can spend as much time as possible with wife Victoria and their three sons - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six, and Cruz, three - who will remain in America.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "He's going to have to sacrifice a lot by moving back to Europe in January. The only thing we can think of is if he either buys or rents his own jet for a couple of months.


"He'll be able to fly back to Los Angeles between games and meet up with the family. It might cost a bit but you can't put a price on time with your children."

David plans to sign the short-term contract because his US Major Soccer League season is over and he is desperate to remain fit to play in England's World Cup qualifying matches.

He is adamant Victoria supports his decision to move to Europe, despite reports the transfer could put their nine-year marriage under pressure.

David said: "Wherever I play and whatever I do in my career, she'll support me. Just because I'm playing in Europe it doesn't mean the whole family must again re-route."

It is believed Victoria would prefer David to join English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, so they can be near their extended family in the UK.

The soccer star has reportedly already found a multi-million pound penthouse to stay at in Italy, with the help of AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini and says he is "hopeful" the move will go ahead.

Victoria Beckham offered £10 million for new documentary

Italian Prime Minister keen to capitalise on David Beckham's move to Milan

Victoria Beckham has been offered £10 million to shoot a documentary on her husband's move to Milan.

The style queen, 34, has been approached by businessman/politician Silvio Berlusconi, after it was revealed David Beckham, 33, is to be loaned to Italian football club AC Milan.

The Italian Prime Minister, 72, is keen to show the couple arriving,house-hunting and settling in to the city – similar to the ill-fated programme Victoria Beckham: Coming To America, which she made about her move to LA.

‘It will be similar in format to the US documentary last year but this time, the budget is absolutely huge,’ a source tells The Mirror. ‘It will be really polished, professional production.

‘With Silvio 100 per cent behind the project, as part of his vision to expand the AC Milan brand, it really will be no holds barred,’ the insider reveals.

‘Berlusconi is desperate to get Posh on board and will pull out all the stops to make sure it happens.’

Victoria Beckham has yet to comment on whether she will move to Milan permanently.

Beckham marriage problems?

David and Victoria Beckham's marriage is under pressure, according to friends.

The celebrity couple - who moved to America last year after David signed a multi-million pound deal with soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy - are said to be spending increasing amounts of time apart as they pursue their own interests.

David, 33, is reportedly desperate to return to European soccer, while Victoria, 34, is determined to increase her profile by staying in the US.


A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "David has to move back to Europe if he wants to continue to play international football. Victoria still believes they can make it big in America, but she fears a move back to Europe could kill off their Hollywood future for ever."

It has been claimed David's proposed loan deal with a Spanish or Italian team this winter could be "the straw which break's the camel's back".

The new claims come shortly after David - who has been married to the former Spice Girl for nine years - admitted he and Victoria find it tough being under constant scrutiny.

He said: "We have quite a lot of pressure, honestly, as a couple. But we've had that since we first started going out, so we've got used to it over the years. We have a way of working through it by looking out for each other."

However, their three sons - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six and three-year-old Cruz - help put their troubles in perspective.

David added: "Having children around takes all the pressure away. Either of us could have had the worst day at work, but it doesn't matter because then you come home and see your sons smiling."

David and Victoria Beckham's housekeepers arrested for 'theft'

Mrs Beckham's parents contacted police after recognising items offered for sale on an internet auction site.

They went to the multi-million pound home in Sawbridgeworth, Herts and discovered that identical items belonging to the England footballer and his pop star wife were missing.

Officers from Hertfordshire Police arrested the housekeepers, a couple aged in their 50s, at their home in Nazeing, Essex on Friday. They were questioned and bailed to return to Hoddesdon police station on November 22, pending further investigation.

The Beckhams currently reside in Los Angeles, where David plays for the LA Galaxy team, and employ a retinue of staff to tend the Sawbridgeworth property while they are away. The seven-bedroom house, known as 'Beckingham Palace', cost the couple £2.5 million in 1999 and they have spent millions more turning it into their dream home.

A source said that Mrs Beckham's parents, Tony and Jackie Adams, recognised the allegedly stolen items immediately because many of them were unique.
"They were most personal and sentimental items collected by Victoria and David during their time abroad. Some of the things were given to them as presents and are unique because they were specially made for them. They include mostly small but expensive trinkets and some pieces which were on decorative display. Together they add up to quite a high value," the source said.

"It seems that the property was being offered on the website to the highest bidder - and obviously it may have had the Beckham pedigree attached."

A Herts Police spokesman said: "We are currently investigating an allegation of theft from a private address in Sawbridgeworth. A 56-year-old woman from Essex and a 55-year-old man, also from Essex, have been arrested in connection with this incident and are currently on police bail."

A spokesman for the Beckhams was unavailable for comment.

David Beckham Talks of Marriage 'Pressure'

David Beckham has confessed that he and wife Victoria are "under pressure" as married couple -- but insists their three sons and her long legs take it away.

"We have quite a lot of pressure, honestly, as a couple," said the 33-year-old LA Galaxy soccer star. "But I think having our children around takes all the pressure away.

"Either of us could have had the worst day at work, but it doesn't matter because then you come home and see your sons smiling.

"There are pressures on us as a couple, but we've had that since we first started going out, so we got used to it over the years.

"We have a way of working through it by looking out for each other."

David -- who says he wants his three children to lead as normal a life as possible -- also told Britain's OK! magazine what first attracted him to his fashionable wife.

He said, "Her legs!

"She was in the Spice Girls when I first saw her and she used to wear these miniskirts and everyone used to say: 'Who’s your favorite Spice Girl?'

"I'd always say: 'The one with the bob, the one with the legs.'

"And that was my answer – all because she had these amazing legs."

David Beckham's New Armani Underwear Ad Revealed, the Pics

Once again stripped down for the latest campaign for Emporio Armani underwear, the hunk has been set to unveil his new posters for the Italian underwear giant at the Macy's, San Francisco on June 18.

Created pros and cons over his sexy underwear ad for Giorgio Armani, which was unveiled in December last year, David Beckham however is eager to do his second ad for the line. The soccer stud strips down for Armani, again.

The new posters of the father of three for the Armani campaign have surfaced. He's set to unveil his new campaign Wednesday, June 18, greeting some very lucky fans at the Macy's in San Francisco. The effort is aimed to support the Emporio Armani underwear autumn/winter 2009 collection, which will hit stores in the U.S. in August and Europe in July.

David's latest campaign for Emporio Armani was shot at a beach in Malibu, Calif. by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. Two saucy promotional ads feature a bikini-briefs-wearing David reclining on a post at the beach, the sneak peek of which are available after this news.

The images will debut in the August edition of Vanity Fair, and then will appear in various sport, fashion and lifestyle magazines. Creative also will be featured at Emporioarmani.com.

David was signed as the face of Armani underwear in November last year. His first ad for the range was unveiled the following month. The ad showed him posed in a mega tight and bulging white briefs with an Armani logo.

Already inked a 3-year deal with the Italian underwear giant, reportedly worth around $40 million, David is praised by fashion designer, Giorgio Armani as "a modern day icon in that his fame extends well beyond the realm of soccer."

"He represents a notion of modern masculinity: as a sports hero, husband and father. He is also a man with a great sense of style. There was a time when soccer players were not always considered to be fashion role models. David Beckham has helped to change that," so the popular fashion designer said.
