That’s only the most money offered to any TV hostess in Italy.

Why the interest? David Beckham will be on “loan” to AC Milan in the LA Galaxy’s offseason to keep his soccer skills sharp. (Did that underwear ad help inspire Milan to bring the hottie to town?) The fam could go with him and the proposed show would revolve around their day-to-day life in Italy. However, reports have also cropped up that Posh may give Italy the boot, though we wonder if that 16 mil will sweeten the pasta pot.  

P.S. Yeah, we know Italy is on the euro now. Lotsa Lira is just fun to say (and type).

Milan lured Beck. Can they lure Posh as well?

Lotsa Lira for Victoria Beckham to be on Italian TV

The tighty-whities campaign hit the billboards on Wednesday and is slated for Vanity Fair and other print media in August. Here are a couple of shots from the ladykiller ads, which are likely to inspire optimistic wives and girlfriends everywhere come Christmas.

Do you think Victoria Beckham will want to borrow Jessica Simpson’s “Real Girls Eat Meat” t-shirt while the novelty is still fresh?

Speaking of the Beckhams, check out this bloggerette, a.k.a Gossip Goddess, on Speeding Bullet Network. Check out the dish on Posh’s dining habits and on Eva Longoria’s baby-that-never-was-and-still-isn’t. The clips are under The Essentials right now but tend to rotate. There are plenty of other sports writers you can listen to as well, but be warned . . . they aren’t nearly as snarky.

David Beckham Shows His Brief-Encased Package Again

An injury-free David Beckham is finally coming into his own with the MLS.  The LA Galaxy midfielder, who scored his first regular-season goal for the team and got an assist during the 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes (love that name!), has been named MLS Player of the Week. 

That videotaped practice session with Anderson Cooper as goalie the other week must have done the trick.

Here’s Beck’s moment of glory (32s) from last week with a great shot of Victoria smiling and laughing. Yeah, right. Here’s the clip, sans Victoria:

David Beckham Named Player of the Week

Compare that to Brooklyn Beckham, fortunate offspring of David and Victoria Beckham. He blew out candles before the likes of Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria at the chic Pink Taco in Century City, CA. (Beck himself was traveling in Asia with the L.A. Galaxy–and doing an admirable good deed: visiting young leukemia patients).

Impressive. The closest we ever came to birthday celebrity encounters in our 1980s youth were copies of Tiger Beat passed around at slumber parties while arguing over who would marry Tom Cruise and who was most likely to be cast in a future installment of The Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio.

Yeah, we were cool.
