Victoria Beckham searches for nannies, housekeepers

In preparation for her family’s upcoming move to California, Victoria Beckham has begun the process of hiring household help — and she’s looking for the very best money can buy. 

The former Spice Girl is  seeking a family of four to serve as live-in housekeepers, as well as two nannies — with a monthly salary of more than $11,000 — for sons Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 4, and Cruz, 2.  To that end, Victoria is seeking someone "plain looking" who has "perfect good manners" and "perfect spoken English."

Her husband, soccer star David Beckham, is rumored to be unhappy about making the move from Real Madrid to his new team the Los Angeles Galaxy but is putting a positive spin on the transition for the sake of the children.

For the kids to live there, with great weather almost every day, going to a great school, the whole lifestyle, the passion for sport … I know we’ll fit in.

David and Victoria Beckham 'apoplectic' over press release

An attempt by fashion house Ralph Lauren to draw attention to its ‘Wimbledon’ children’s clothing line is drawing the wrong kind of attention from David and Victoria Beckham, who are angered that the label used paparazzi pictures of their children wearing their garments. 

Eight-year-old Brooklyn Beckham and his 4-year-old brother Romeo Beckham were photographed in their ‘Wimbledon’ blazers as they were leaving the christening of Bluebell Madonna Halliwell, Victoria’s goddaughter, on April 22.  Ralph Lauren promptly crafted a press release which featured the images, boasting that the Beckham boys were wearing Ralph Lauren, and provided information on where the clothing could be purchased. 

According to unnamed sources, the couple went "apoplectic" when they learned of the promotion.

Neither of them gave their consent for this — as far as they were concerned they went to a friend’s private christening with their kids.  It’s one thing if they are on a red carpet or at a showbiz bash, but this is just totally ridiculous — and totally irresponsible.

24-hours after sending out the release, Ralph Lauren issued a follow-up statement, clarifying that the images were used without the authorization of the Beckhams and that "attention to the children is not endorsed."

Geri Halliwell asks Victoria Beckham and Kenny Goss to be godparents of Bluebell Madonna

Former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell, is holding a christening for her daughter, Bluebell Madonna, 11 months, this weekend in London. Being a former Spice Girl, we would expect nothing less than a star studded event for Bluebell’s christening, and indeed it will be. Geri has asked old Spice Girl pal, Victoria Beckham and George Michael‘s partner, Kenny Goss to be the godparents. Victoria seems to be excited about the honor, a close friend of hers told The Sun:

Victoria was thrilled to be asked to be godmother. Although they fell out when Geri walked out on the Spice Girls years ago, they became really close friends again. Geri’s relied on her old friend for advice on motherhood and is delighted Victoria is flying over.

Geri has also invited her former Spice Girl’s pals, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton – who is pregnant with her first child – and Melanie Brown to the service. Scary Spice, Mel B, is not expected to attend since she recently gave birth to her second daughter three weeks ago.

Mel C wants a Spice baby too

Now that all of her former bandmates either have children or are expecting, Melanie Chisholm is feeling the urge to start her own family with all the babies and baby talk around her.

Geri [Halliwell] lives near me now, so Emma [Bunton] and I spent the day with her and Bluebell [10 months] recently. Geri is just really enjoying motherhood and is happy doing that. Meanwhile, Emma is a glowing mum-to-be! We’re all in our 30s now so it’s a natural time to be focusing on family.

Still, although she would love to have children, Sporty Spice says she’s concentrating on her career for the time being.

I definitely want to be a mum and I’d like more than one child. At the moment my priority is my music, but I’m already 33, so I’d better get cracking!

While Mel is still close with Geri, Emma and Victoria Beckham, she has lost touch with Mel B, who is expecting her second child, and was not aware of Scary Spice’s paternity battle with Eddie Murphy. The two would get a chance to catch up should there be a Spice Girls reunion, but Mel doubts that would happen any time soon.

With the impending babies, family is the priority in Spice World right now! A one-off gig would be ideal, but we haven’t had any offers yet.
