Zac Efron is a big fan of David Beckham – so maybe the footballer could teach him a thing or two about grooming.
The actor was spotted with waxy ears in London last week – and his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens then got showered in cotton buds by a fan in Hollywood.
Still, it didn’t bother Zac who waxed lyrical to 3am: “Vanessa and I would love to be like the US David and Victoria Beckham. It’s funny when we’re compared to them, I just can’t believe it. I totally love the way David dresses.”
We think Katie Holmes is a great friend to style icon and best bud Victoria Beckham…
After Vic reportedly fell out with her mother-in-law over baby-sitting arrangements Katie Holmes stepped in and saved the day.
The former Dawson’s Creek star, took the Beckham boys and daughter Suri to the Children’s Art Studio in Santa Monica, with help from a nanny of course.
Victoria allegedly had to rush back from Milan last week, after David’s mother decided she wanted to go home to London for her daughter’s birthday.
David’s mum Sandra was looking after Brooklyn 10, Romeo 6 and Cruz 4 whilst Victoria was in Milan house hunting, what a life!
Katie Holmes has been looking frail and gaunt of late, following a punishing detox diet, not that she needed it, perhaps it’s a Scientology thing?
The star then had a £30,000 make-over during a trip to Tokyo for the premier of husband Tom Cruise’s new movie Valkyrie.
Her make-over included spa treatments, dental veneers and lush glossy hair extensions, very Cheryl Cole! (Which, by the way, she has now had taken out)
Mrs Beckham isn’t Katie Holmes’s only A-List buddy, oh no, Tom Cruise’s wife mingles with the best of Hollywood’s stars.
Angelina Jolie is a good friend of Katie’s, so much so that they arranged a tea party for their daughters Suri and Shiloh.
The cutest girls in Hollywood, Suri Cruise and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, had their very own A-list play date, with plans for the day starting back in January, who knew a child’s tea party took so much preparation!
We’re sure Katie Holmes had no problem running errands for the party (like stocking up on Suri’s favourite cupcakes) whilst wearing her black ballet pumps.
Get practical but stylish like Katie with French Sole’s patent black ballet pumps.
Good job she didn’t ask pal Victoria Beckham to help out with the preparations, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything quickly in her famous choice of sky-scraper heels for everyday wear.

In what may come as a shock to Victoria Beckham, a group of girls in Milan have run a 20,000 pound bet to see who is the first one to seduce football heartthrob David Beckham.
Beckham, who is in the city playing for AC Milan, was recently in news for being the centre of attraction at a high profile charity event where he was surrounded by Italian socialites.
Meanwhile Beckham’s wife Victoria is busy bringing up the couple’s three young sons in Los Angeles.
Beckham is not aware of the bet, Daily Mail online reported quoting Grazia magazine.
“There is a group of about 20 girls who hang around the Milan nightclubs and bars where the Italian players go to relax. They have decided that the top prize is now David Beckham,” a source told the magazine.
Follow his team or his fashion choices, but David Beckham apparently doesn’t want you following his car.
After being pursued by paprazzi in Beverly Hills last month, the soccer stud confronted a photographer, with a fight breaking out moments later between one of the soccer star’s bodyguards and the shutterbug.
According to an eyewitness, Beckham went up to the car and tried to get the driver to come out. when the driver declined, Beckham’s body guard went to the passenger’s side and punches began flying.
The scuffle did not go unnoticed by the authorities. “They started fighting right in the street in front of the police station,” an eyewitness tells E! News.
“Once the bodyguards and the paparazzi started fighting. David ran back to the car and he and Victoria drove off…The cops finally came and broke it up.”
Two of the bodyguards were later questioned by police. One of the bodyguards, who had been scratched in the fight, declined to comment. A rep for Beckham tells E! news. “Yes, an incident did occur. However, there will be no comment as this is now in the hands of the lawyers.”
Photographers on the scene, but no one was taken into custody or cited,” said Beverly Hills Police Department Sgt. Gregg Mader. “We’ll review what we have to see if further action needs to be taken.”
“They just can’t do this,” said the photog involved in the fight. “They put me on the floor, they got my camera and they threw it in the trash can. They can’t do this to us.”
An ambulance was called to the scene, but all of those involved in the fracas refused treatment.
She’s shapely, elegant and confident – every inch a typical catwalk model.
Oh, and Victoria Beckham doesn’t look too bad either.
But the real star of this particular fashion show is super-slimming mum-of-two Kim Maher.
She saw a dream come true when she was asked to model one of Posh’s dresses – after losing nearly five stones in just 18 months.
Delighted Kim, 42, of Cheshire, said after her photo-shoot at Selfridge’s in Manchester: “It was amazing.
“Victoria was wonderful and said how good I looked. I could hardly believe it was really me standing there.” Kim admits that just two years ago – when she was 12st and a size 16 – she would have flatly refused to be in the same room as the slimline celeb.
Now after dropping to a trim size six Kim says she feels like a new woman – and she jumped at the chance to meet her style idol Victoria, 34.
Kim spent years battling weight problems after the birth of her second son Andrew, now 11.
The turning point came when she saw photos of herself at her 40th birthday party. “I thought, oh my goodness, what’s happened to me.”
Kim started going to the gym five times a week. And, encouraged by Vince – her husband of 17 years – she’s now happily back to her target weight.
To celebrate she splashed out on a dress from Victoria’s range.
Not the one she modelled – but the one Posh was wearing on the night!
Kim is now in training to run for the London Marathon for the Children with Leukaemia charity, after a classmate of her 11-year-old son was diagnosed with the disease.

London: Victoria Beckham called actress friend Katie Holmes to babysit her young children, after reportedly falling out with her mother-in-law Sandra Beckham who flew back to London.The actress took out Beckham’s two sons Cruz, 4, and Romeo, 6, along with her 2-year-old daughter Suri Cruise, the ‘Daily Mail’ online reported.
Along with a nanny the group visited the Children’s Arts Studio in Santa Monica. Suri was dressed in a blue polka dotted dress and red cardigan with a cuddly toy in her hands while Cruz and Romeo wore jeans and shirts.
Holmes and actor husband Tom Cruise are good friends of the Beckhams, though the friendship had reportedly soured after the two fashionista wives decided to float individual designer ranges at the same time. However, Holmes had to drop the idea while Victoria’s label ‘VdB’ has proved to be a success.
It’s an estimated £32-million deal that virtually puts customers in bed with the Beckhams: the ad for the Armani lingerie line. David has had his share of media attention a while back, when Armani posted billboards of him in his underwear all across the world, and now is Victoria’s turn to get tongues wagging about her ability to pull of the job for the Italian designer.
The latest ad from the Armani Underwear Campaign has just been released and, from what reports in the media are saying, for a woman who has become notorious for her repeated complaints about her “ugly” body, Victoria looks quite smoking. On her knees and arching backwards on a messy bed, the lingerie-clad Posh unveils a body that most women would virtually do anything to get.
In Victoria’s case, though, it has been a piece of cake, skeptics are now saying. This photo, just like the other two of earlier this year, has been also shot by fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Just like them too, it also makes ample use of lighting: with such flattering shadows and some retouching, most women would actually look as toned and fit as Victoria does here, it has been added.
Of course, that is not to say that the photo does not have something of Victoria’s personal charm as well. By choosing her, it seems, Armani wanted to make the best of the star’s famous pouty face and inability to smile that has been so mocked in the media. The photographers have taken this and turned it into a sultry image of a moody Victoria that, one might as well add, looks absolutely fabulous in the Armani products – flattering lighting or not.
“I chose Victoria Beckham to launch our new global Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear campaign because she is a stylish and intriguing woman. […] I wanted to work with someone who would make a real impression. I’m sure Victoria’s presence will generate great excitement and contribute to the continued international growth of our business.” Mr. Armani told about the latest muse a while back. And a “real impression” Victoria does, indeed, make, we might add.
