BECKHAM CHRISTENING QUESTIONED
Pregnant
pop singer Victoria Beckham and husband David's christening ceremony for their young sons has been slammed by British church
leaders as a sham.
The former Spice Girl and the Real Madrid soccer star had children Brooklyn, 5, and Romeo, 2, christened
in a specially-built €132,900 chapel in the grounds of their Hertfordshire, England mansion last Thursday.
But local
Canon Robert Sibson complains: "The chapel is just a building. It would require a bishop to consecrate it and they have not
done that."
Meanwhile sources claim the chapel will be used again next year when the Beckhams renew their wedding vows
after five years of marriage

WHAT TO GET YOUR 5YR OLD
It was a posh Christmas for
little Brooklyn Beckham, son of the former Posh Spice and soccer star David Beckham.
The 5-year-old had a mini-Hummer
under the tree with his name on it, according to the New York Post. The price tag for the kiddie car? $42,000.
The SUV -- children's version
-- has a lawn-mower type engine, stick shift with two speeds, and can hit 30 mph, the Post said. The seats are leather, and
the car includes a CD player.
Brooklyn's mother, Victoria
Beckham, reportedly noticed the Hummer while at Harrods in London. The junior SUV is made by Cars for Children Inc., which
makes half-scale models of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Hummers.
It's been an eventful month
for Brooklyn. Pop star Elton John attended a lavish party last week for his christening and that of his 2-year-old brother,
Romeo, at the Beckhams' mansion, known as ''Beckingham Palace.''

BECKS REAL CRISIS
David
Beckham is to seek assurances over his Real Madrid future as he faces his first major crisis in Spain.
Beckham's representatives
will hold crunch talks with Real president Florentino Perez after the Christmas break.
The England
captain was gutted last Wednesday after being hauled off at half-time during the 1-0 home defeat against Seville.
A close pal
of Becks said: "David was unhappy at being taken off at half-time and he made it very clear there was no question of him being
injured or having any niggles this time. It was purely a decision of the manager and certainly not one that went down well.
"He felt he
wasn't playing badly and had contributed to some positive moves.
"It's no secret
he wants to play every game and he accepts being taken off is part of his job.
"But it's been
happening not after 75-80 minutes, but at half-time or just afterwards.
"The last thing he wants is to look for excuses or for someone to blame but at the same time
he's not been allowed to build up his fitness."
