David Beckham and Victoria Beckham expecting fourth baby

David and Victoria Beckham are expecting their fourth child in the summer.
The couple's three sons - Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5 - were said to be "very excited" about having a new brother or sister.

Jo Milloy, spokeswoman for Mrs Beckham, confirmed the baby news but declined to give a more specific due date or confirm how far the pregnancy was advanced.

The announcement was made after weeks of speculation that the Beckhams may soon return to the UK.

Former England captain David, 35, was linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur but manager Harry Redknapp admitted today the deal "looked like a no-goer".

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Redknapp said: "David is welcome to come and train here for a month or so which I think he would like to do but it looks like, as far as playing goes, it looks like a no-goer."
The Beckhams were tonight in the UK, where they are expected to stay until February when David returns to LA Galaxy and Victoria, 36, attends the New York Fashion Week.

The spokeswoman said both their families were "naturally delighted" with the announcement of a fourth child.

A message on David Beckham's Facebook page said: "I've got some great news to tell you all. Victoria and I are expecting our fourth child this summer. The boys are very excited about the arrival of a new brother or sister."

Amanda Holden, who recently announced her own pregnancy, took to her Twitter page to congratulate the couple and wrote: "Great News that the Beckham's are expecting their 4th child! Hope they get a pink one!"

Tottenham announced that Beckham will arrive at Spurs Lodge, their training ground, in Essex, tomorrow to meet with medical staff, before returning on Tuesday to train with the first team.

The club said he will train with the squad until February 10.

Harry Redknapp tonight appeared to backtrack on his previous statement, and insisted Tottenham have not completely given up hope of signing the star on load.

Following the Lilywhites' 3-0 win over London rivals Charlton in the FA Cup, Redknapp was asked if a deal could still happen.

He said: "I don't honestly know. That's being done above my head. Hopefully it could still happen. The situation is ongoing."

Aishwarya Rai replaced by Freida Pinto as face of L'Oreal'

Aishwarya Rai, the Hollywood and Bollywood film star widely regarded the 'world's most beautiful woman,' has been ousted as the Indian face of cosmetic giant L'Oreal by Freida Pinto, according to industry insiders.
Her omission from L'Oreal's 'Happy New Year 2011' campaign marks the end of her reign as the world's best recognised Indian face, commentators said, and her demise as the country's most successful international film star.

It also marks the rise of Ms Pinto, who was relatively unknown until her appearance in Slumdog Millionaire, as one of India's top global stars.

The replacement of Ms Rai in L'Oreal's 'Happy New Year' campaign caps a miserable few months for a woman still regarded as a classical Indian beauty. Newspaper columnists have criticised her for appearing to have put on weight, while her appearance on the cover of the Indian edition of Elle magazine sparked a controversy over her skin colour.

It was claimed the photographs had been altered to make Ms Rai appear white.

Bollywood commentator and editor of The Hindustan Times' Brunch magazine Poonam Saxena said there was a growing perception in India that Ms Rai's reign was now over.

Shah Rukh Khan wants to apologize to Salman Khan

Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar have been thick friends for a long time now. And so it's no wonder that when the latter invited King Khan on his chat show, he got him talking on issues that nobody could till date.

Though Shah Rukh has always been asked about his spat with Salman, he has never candidly spoken about the same. But when KJo put forth the same question, SRK couldn't hold himself back and got into a confessing mode.

On chat show 'Koffee With Karan' that will be aired on January 2, 2011, Shah Rukh reportedly spoke freely about Salman. Sources have it that Khan confessed on the show that, "If Salman is upset with me it's 100 per cent my fault."

SRK also admitted that there hasn't been reconciliation as yet as he finds it difficult to pick up the phone and say sorry. Bollywood's Badshaah attributed this weakness to his ego and said that he just can't bring himself up to asking people to get back to him.

Sources from the sets reveal that Shah Rukh got very emotional while talking about Salman and KJo seemed positive that his chat show may just bring the two warring Khans together again. And 'inshallah' if this happens; it will be the biggest year end gift from Bollywood.

Akshay Kumar overtakes Ajay Devgan in the last battle of 2010

Akshay Kumar's 'Tees Maar Khan' opened to strong numbers clearly overtaking Ajay Devgn's 'Toonpur Ka Superhero' at the box-office.

Though there is still one Friday to go in 2010 (the last day of the year – December 31), in terms of Bollywood the year seems to have come to an end. While three releases are scheduled for the next week – 2 postponed ('Tera Kya Hoga Johnny' and 'Ada – A Way of Life') and small children flick Bhoot and Friends, none of them are anywhere close to being awaited. Also the yearend is supposed to be dull phase in terms of box-office business.

So the releases of the week gone by were considered to be the last big releases of 2010. Akshay Kumar's Tees Maar Khan had an opening day collection of Rs 18 crore gross (Rs 14 crore nett) making it amongst the top three opening day collections for a Hindi film. The occupancy was as good as 100% at most cinemas in the opening weekend.

Released in over 2300 screens worldwide, the film has grossed more than Rs. 5 crores even before its Friday opening, just on paid previews in overseas market including US, UK and Gulf. However with negative reviews, it needs to be seen if the film can sustain a steady run at the box-office.

Ajay Devgn's Toonpur Ka Superhero, despite receiving better reviews than TMK, was nowhere close to the Akshay Kumar starrer in terms of its box-office business. The major target audiences were children. Though the animation is world-class, business was weak in the international market since they are more evolved in the genre. Again it needs to be seen if the business shows any rise in the coming days.

It was suicidal for Rajshri Productions Isi Life Mein to release amidst biggies like Tees Maar Khan and Toonpur Ka Superhero. As expected, the film went almost unnoticed.
