HARPER BECKHAM HAS HER EYE ON THE SOCCER BALL

#harperbeckham #janetcharlton

Victoria and David Beckham’s little girl Harper is growing up fast and she already has a penchant for soccer. Fourteen month old Harper is always in the stands watching her brothers play (above with mom and Romeo) and since she started walking, she’s been kicking and throwing the ball around like her big brothers and her daddy. Wouldn’t it be funny if she grew up to be the best player in the family?

SOCCER TRUMPED SOPHIA LOREN AT FILM FESTIVAL IN ITALY

#sophialoren #janetcharlton

Italians are so soccer crazy that games interfered with the Taormina Film Festival Awards. When the Italian team made it into the European championship semifinals, the screenings and ceremonies had to be shifted around at the last minute. All eyes were on the games. Guest of Honor Sophia Loren received an award for her amazing 60 year film career and her prize ceremony was reduced in length to only ten minutes – the duration of halftime in the soccer game! She graciously confessed that SHE was as caught up in the game as everyone else.

THE BECKHAMS AREN’T BUDGING FROM THE BEACH

David and Victoria Beckham have fallen hard for the California lifestyle. Last season David’s contract was up and he considered leaving the LA Galaxy soccer team he’s been playing for. He got tempting offers from several European teams. But instead he opted to renew with LA Galaxy for 1.6 million dollars LESS per year. He says his family – and especially his kids – are firmly planted in California and they all love living on the beach. The Beckhams are even putting their English mansion on the market and plan to sell their home in France as well. David says now that he has a family his priorities have changed.

DAVID BECKHAM’S SPEECH REDUCES VICTORIA TO TEARS

Sometimes we forget how striking and handsome – and consistently well dressed – David Beckham is. He is not the ordinary soccer player. David showed up looking like this at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show and was given the Lifetime Achievement Award. His wife Victoria and their three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 4, were in the audience when David made an emotional speech. He praised his wife, saying “Not only has she given me three amazing boys, but support and inspiration every day.” He thanked her, and Victoria struggled to hold back the tears. Sweet.
