The Beckhams: troupers, dance or otherwise?

Disturbing rumours in OK magazine, which this week turns its attentions to Victoria Beckham, and appears to be suggesting that madam is entering the "commuting expectations" phase of her journey. Specifically, she is considering an offer to appear on stage with the Pussycat Dolls, known for their racy stage outfits and their number one hit "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was a Tranny Like Me".

Maybe this isn't such a climbdown. Victoria did arrive in LA declaring she had "no interest in a Hollywood career", which is kind of like Lost in Showbiz issuing a statement it has no interest in being considered by this year's Pulitzer committee. Either way, let's hope it's all a horrific misunderstanding - rather like a night with one of the Pussycat Dolls might be.

Marginally better sourced, however, is news that Victoria is practising her dance routines for the forthcoming Spice Girls tour with none other than her husband.

"Victoria has got David dancing away to Spice Up Your Life and all their hits," the magazine is informed. "He's loving being a Spice Boy!"

Mmm. One's always wary of using the phrase "music to the ears" in the context of the Spice Girls, but really - which LA Galaxy fan WON'T be delighted as the possibility dawns that far from sleeping in the oxygen tent his 37-week absence demands, their star player could be inflaming his his chronic knee injury by executing free-spins during the bridge of Say You'll Be There?
