Beckhams and Cruises Hold Hands and Give Thanks in NYC

PopSugarUK — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 05:00:00 -0800

The Beckhams and Cruises swapped Wednesday's smart outfits for jeans and cosy knitwear to celebrate Thanksgiving in New York yesterday. After watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from the Trump International Hotel, the friendly families took a stroll through Central Park to see the Big Apple Circus. Tom kept Suri bundled up and warm, while Katie kept her head toasty with a hat like the Beckham boys. Victoria didn't let the cold stop her from staying stylish, and matched her Chanel bag to her all black outfit. While Katie continues with her acting role, it looks like Posh has got an exciting part of her own coming up, as "best man" at Marc Jacobs' wedding.

Victoria and David Beckham took their adorable sons over to the East Coast yesterday and reignited their friendship with Tom Cruise, hanging out in downtown New York with Tom's children, Isabella and Connor, before going to watch new Miu Miu model Katie Holmes on Broadway in All My Sons. The Beckhams were full of praise for the play before heading off for a big family dinner at Il Cantinori. David proved he's just as much of a gentleman as Tom, and helped up a female photographer who had fallen over in the street while trying to pap him. It's good to know Becks is keeping it real, even when Motorola bosses are calling him "the most recognisable face in the world".

Britney and Kevin's Son Rushed To Hospital

PopSugarUK — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 05:00:00 -0800

Jayden James, the son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, was rushed to hospital yesterday, after the two year old suffered a suspected seizure in Britney's hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

Jayden apparently lapsed into a “vague and unresponsive” state, and was taken 25 miles to the nearest hospital. He was kept in overnight, with Britney not leaving his side. Kevin is said to be flying in from LA today.

Following Britney's success in her career, and recent cameo on Madonna's tour, it's so sad that Jayden has become so sick. Here's hoping that he gets better very soon.

UPDATE: It has been stated that Jayden did not have a seizure, but instead suffered "a terrible allergic reaction. He had hives, was itchy and irritable." And this message has been posted on Britney's website: "Jayden James Federline was admitted to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center on Sunday, November 9th. Doctors concluded he had a reaction to something he ingested. He is expected to be discharged tomorrow."

I'm so glad this story is not as serious as originally reported. Feel better soon Jayden!

Pretty in Pink Kate Goes Wild While Kelly Wigs Out

PopSugarUK — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Kate Moss concentrated on having a great time at Lila Grace's birthday party on Friday, while rumours circulate she's pining for Jamie but is taking her mind off her heartbreak by kissing a designer. She certainly looked carefree at the party with her pink hair (do you love or hate it?) and zebra print trousers, and continued with the bold trousers theme by wearing a tartan pair in the Cotswolds. Kate not only expresses herself through fashion — a self-portrait she painted in lipstick has sold for £33,600.

Kelly Osbourne also went bold in the hair department for Lila's party and popped on a bright wig under her favourite style of hat. Kelly's still wearing the ring that sparked engagement rumours, but her rep says it's actually a present from Ozzy, not a symbol of intent from Luke. It's surely only a matter of time for the lovebirds though, right?

Liv Watches Milo Play Catch The Pigeon

PopSugarUK — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:10:00 -0700

How adorable is Liv Tyler's son Milo Langdon as he chases after a pigeon in New York?! Liv's been looking oh-so-glam at some New York Fashion Week events this past few days, but yesterday she was in Mum-mode as she took Milo out for a walk. She's looking super-stunning on the front cover of Harper's Bazaar this month where she opened up about a few things. Here's some extracts from her interview:

On living in NYC following her split from hubby Royston Langdon: "I've been driving myself demented because I am just in this limbo. I think part of the problem is that I have too many options and I am just trying to come to terms with all this new stuff.
On hearing that The Incredible Hulk did well at the US box office: "I was so proud that I cried. It was the first time in my life I really went out to get a part."
On her childhood: "I was always such a little grown up. I felt pressure to be together and responsible. I have always felt like there's a compass inside of me that was guiding me in some way. I had a really strange upbringing because I had such a variety of experience. I think it caused me to have a longing and desire for some kind of normalcy, which is the pendulum swing of my life."
On what lies ahead: "For the first time in my life, I don't really know. I am going to just take one day at a time and be the best mom I can... but it is a strange time, like walking down he road with nowhere to go. I have just sort of realised that in life there is no guarantee. But we'll see... we'll see where it takes me."

You can read more of Liv's fascinating interview in the October issue of Harper's Bazaar, which is out now.

Romeo Beckham aka Batman celebrated his sixth birthday yesterday, with a smattering of cute celebrity offspring among his guests. Mum Victoria led the caped crusader into his party at the Hard Rock Cafe, alongside his little brother Cruz who looked awesome (if a little grumpy) in a red Power Ranger costume. Gavin Rossdale left Gwen and new arrival Zuma at home, taking Kingston along to party it up with his friends. In his white wifebeater and jeans, perhaps he was going for the Ryan Atwood look?

Gorgeous Heidi Klum brought little Leni and Henry along, and Victoria's ex-bandmate Geri Halliwell brought beautiful redhead Bluebell too. I bet this event was far more fun than adult celebrity parties!
