Johnny Depp Named Sexiest Man Alive

Johnny Depp has been named People's Sexiest Man Alive for the second time. He is the third man to receive this honor, along with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. A spokesperson for People Magazine stated, "At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15 year-old-boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars. He has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on '21 Jump Street'."

Reports circulated earlier this week that Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson was taking the Sexiest Man crown this year. However, Depp's sexiness reigns supreme.

Hugh Jackman, last year's recipient of this prestigious honor, is elated that the "pressure's off" of him now. He says, "I can be a slob again."

Also featured on 2009's Sexiest Men list include: Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, David Beckham, Bradley Cooper, Gilles Marini, Nick Cannon, Chris Daughtry, and Robert Downey Jr.

David Beckham helps Tom Cruise lose his love handles

Actor loses 10lb with footballer's advice

When Tom Cruise wanted to lose weight he knew exactly who to turn to – good mate David Beckham.

The actor, 46, has piled on the pounds over the past year and wanted to get rid of his spare tyre.

‘Tom had been steadily gaining weight,’ a source tells The Mail On Sunday. ‘He hated it when pictures started appearing of him with a belly and love handles. Tom has a private gym at his home and David has been working out with him.’

Tom has already lost 10lb since following 33-year-old Becks' diet and exercise regime.

‘Now he keeps telling everyone he’s in as good shape now as he was when he did Top Gun,’ the insider says.

Rep: Victoria, David Beckham were not involved in car crash

Reports claiming that David and Victoria Beckham were involved in a "terrifying car crash" on Friday in France have been dismissed as false by the Spice Girl's spokeswoman.

"There was no car crash," Cheryl Maisel told the New York Daily News, after reports surfaced on several Web sites Sunday, claiming that the Beckhams vehicle struck a wall en-route from their holiday home in the French Riviera to Nice Airport. According to reports, Victoria was left in tears as David departed for his appearance at the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony.

Claims that the couple's black BMW was spotted with a smashed windscreen and extensive damage along the passenger side were, according to Maisel, overblown.

"David and Victoria Beckham were driving a car that had been scratched the day before when it had been left parked at the airport - they were not involved in any accident at all. There was no police, no crash, no paparazzi chase, etc. - just very incorrect reports via Internet gossip sites," she said.

Victoria is expected to leave France for New York next week to attend Fashion Week, which kicks off on Sept. 5.

David Beckham marked the beginning of London 2012

In probably the biggest free kick of his life, David Beckham marked the beginning of London 2012 on Sunday as Beijing said goodbye to the Olympic Games.

With singing sensation Leona Lewis and rock icon Jimmy Page watching on, the LA Galaxy star fired a football into the crowd at the Bird's Nest stadium. After a mad scramble, it was picked up by one of the Chinese officials, who couldn't stop smiling at his luck.

The shot was the finishing touch to an impressive display of British talent to mark the Olympics coming to London in four years time.

Just moments before, The X Factor winner Leona and Jimmy had rocked the Games' closing ceremony with a thumping version of Whole Lotta Love. The pair emerged from out the top of a red London bus, the focal point for the dancing and singing, to tower over the crowd.

The entertainment began when London Mayor Boris Johnson received the Olympic Flag from his Beijing counterpart. The normally exuberant politician looked humbled yet proud as he waved the colours in front of the stadium – and the worldwide audience.

Then, as the emblematic Greenwich Time Signal rang out, London started the party that won't stop until 2012.

Is David Beckham already a Scientologist?

Signs spark claims that Tom's successfully recruited Becks in LA

Ever since the Beckhams moved to LA, fanatical Tom Cruise has been desperate to recruit them to Scientology. And as David’s star rises Stateside, Tom is upping his efforts to an all-time high.

Superstar Tom, 46, is now Scientologist chief David Miscavige’s right-hand man, in charge of recruitment and advertising for the organisation.

David, 33, and Victoria's spokesman told us that Posh and Becks have no intention or inclination to join the cult but Tom has already successfully recruited other celebs.

Will Smith has funded a school that teaches Scientology and when Tom was dating Penélope Cruz, he coaxed her into going to meetings.

Last October, David said: ‘We respect their religion. We respect everything they do and believe in. But they have never turned around to us and said: “You have to be a part of this”, because that’s not what they’re about.’ 

But has the soccer star changed his mind?

According to a website that exposes members truthaboutscientology.com, a 'David Beckham' has studied OT level 3, which if part of Scientology's secret 'Advanced Technology' doctrines taught only to members who've already contributed large amounts of money to the cult.

Victoria Beckham's fertility crisis

Devasted Posh’s baby hopes are fading

Victoria Beckham has been trying for a baby for 3 months and is now desperately seeking advice from specialists in both London and Los Angeles.

At a routine checkup at London’s Portland Hospital 2 weeks ago, 34-year-old Posh was warned that her fertility rate isn’t the same as it was when she had her first baby Brooklyn 9 years ago.

‘Victoria also suffers from PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome] and irregular periods, both of which can affect her chances of having a baby,’ says Now's trusted source. ‘She’s trying not to get too nervous as she knows this won’t help, but it’s becoming more and more of a concern.’

In February, Victoria admitted: ‘I’m really feeling that pressure. Every time I go out someone says to me: “Are you pregnant?”'

The baby dilemma isn’t helped by the fact that her trusted obstetrician Dr Malcolm Gillard, who delivered all her boys, could retire next year when he turns 60. If the worst comes to the worst, Victoria and David, 33, have talked about the possibility of trying the fertility drug Clomid.

The main consideration is that around a quarter of women who use Clomid go on to have twins, when the usual average is less than one per cent. Jennifer Lopez, 39 this week, was rumoured to have used it to help her fall pregnant with twins Max and Emme, born in March.

‘They’d definitely try Clomid if they really had to, but they’re hoping not to resort to that,’ says our source. ‘The couple laugh about it now – Victoria’s main worry with having twins is: can she pull it off looking as glamorous in a maxi dress as the likes of Angelina Jolie?’

Victoria Beckham lets her hair down

Posh pictured clinging unsteadily to husband David Beckham after eating out in LA

Victoria Beckham had to be helped to her car by husband David at the end of a big night out in Hollywood this week.

The couple went for dinner at trendy Il Sole, but when they left 34-year-old Posh seemed a little the worse for wear as she teetered on her heels and held tight onto David's arm.

‘It certainly appeared as if she had a fun evening,’ a source tells the Daily Mirror. ‘It was like watching Bambi on ice as she tried to tiptoe out of the restaurant in her high heels.’

Becks, 33, manoeuvred her into their Rolls-Royce Phantom while waiting paparazzi snapped away.

'He didn't look too happy!' adds the onlooker.

What Becks Says About The Billboards!

David Beckham is finally speaking out about those huge billboards of his half naked self plastered all over U.S. cities! These pictures are the newest for his endorsement for Emporio Armani underwear. Here's his blog post from today!

"Well I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures but last Thursday I went to San Francisco to see the unveiling of the new Emporio Armani campaign I shot a while back. To be honest I was amazed by the huge billboard poster outside Macy’s department store, but even more amazed by the amount of people who turned up to see it! I’m always surprised by the amount of attention certain things create, but the attention this campaign has created is pretty incredible. It was great to meet some of the people who’d come out especially though, I’ve always wanted to visit San Francisco, so it was a great to finally get there...Moving onto the football - Saturday’s game was a bit of a disappointment to say the least. We were 2-0 up and playing at home, so we should have closed out the game, but credit to Columbus Crew, they came back at us and forced a draw. We did get a point, but it feels like a loss to be honest. We need to make our stadium a fortress and win our games there and not give anything away, not just in defence, but also from the forwards and the midfield.At the moment it’s just the consistency, it’s all about finishing off teams and holding onto leads. Sometimes it just needs a bit of calmness. It’s all a learning process and we will get better, it’s just about getting the mix right. That’s all for now, David"
