Now, we'd NEVER spread gossip round here at LiS. Well, not unfounded gossip, anyway. Um, well, not libellous gossip, that is. Um, er, oh bugger it. Anyway, according to that bible of all things worthy and true, the New York Post, the Beckhams are getting a big ol' Welcome to America! bash thrown for them by - well, yes, Tom and Katie, naturellement. But also, rather intriguingly, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Now this is interesting on several levels.
For a start - Victoria and the Fresh Prince? Love it! How long before she gets a car with licence plate that say Fresh Princess? (But will it have dice in the mirror? Yo, home to Bel Air!)
But, second, a blind gossip item in the Post sparked what I believe is called a flurry of internet speculation yesterday. "Which," the Post asked, hiding any niggly litigation or, indeed, truth concerns behind anonymity, "too-good-to-be-real Hollywood leading man and his hard-bodied wife deserve Oscars for their portrayal of a perfect marriage? They both have secret lives with members of the same sex."
Who indeed? Has Liz Taylor at last married Armistead Maupin, just as we always hoped she would? Well, cyberspace seemed to be surfing a different mental vibe and the overwhelming guesses were ... Ashton and Demi (swiftly dismissed by Ashton's old high school buddies, but they would say that, wouldn't they?), Tom and Katie (naturellement, pt 2) or ... Will and Jada.
What can it all mean? Perhaps David shouldn't have let Steven Klein photograph him spread eagled and face down wearing only a pair of straining white pants, perhaps?
Oh, and the party invite? Red velvet, gold lettering. Seriously, we WISH we could make this stuff up.
