Victoria Beckham is set to launch her own fashion reality TV series in the US.

The ex-Spice girl has been asked to front a new Fashion Nightmares show for the Fox network.

The show is based on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares which has been a big hit in America after he took it over there last year.

Victoria would travel around America, finding poorly styled people and giving them a fashion make-over.

'They want her to visit some boutiques and beauty pageants in real backwater towns and to try to whip them into chic shape," a source told Marie Clare.

Victoria was reportedly reccommended for the job by some of her celebrity friends: "A couple of A-listers have recommended her, saying her humour and knowledge has yet to be fully explored," added the source.

It’s arctic between Katie Holmes and her fashion mentor, Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, and a source tells Star that it’s all because of a tattoo! Thrilled with her latest tat [on the inside of her wrist] of the Latin phrase “De Integro” - it means “afresh” - Posh urged BFF Katie to get inked herself. Posh, who got this fifth one to mark her new start in the U.S., “was pretty shocked and upset” when the Mad Money actress called such body art trashy, says the source.

Football star David Beckham has a new tattoo, and this one is unlike all the others - it’s a naked picture of his wife Victoria. The soccer star’s seven-inch artwork on his left arm features the Spice Girl lying on her back surrounded by stars and baring her breasts with her knees raised up seductively. The etching was based on David’s favourite photograph of Victoria from a Bridget Bardot-inspired shoot she did for Pop magazine four years ago.

A source said: “David is thrilled with the results. He thinks of Victoria as his angel, which is why he decided on the stars. Victoria is very flattered with this beautiful tribute.”

A new book by Princess Diana's biographer makes some astonishing claims about Tom Cruise and the hold that Scientology has over every aspect of his life.

In Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, Andrew Morton launches an extraordinary attack on the Top Gun star — and on those closest to him, including his little daughter, Suri.

The U.K.'s Daily Mail has revealed some of the more scandalous allegations that Morton makes in the book:

* Tom's daughter with Katie Holmes, Suri, was conceived like Rosemary's Baby, a film "in which an unsuspecting young woman is impregnated with the Devil's child." Morton claims that some "fanatical" Scientologists believe that Suri is the result of a sperm donation by Scientology's dead founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

* Morton implies that Scientology executives contributed to the failure of Tom's marriage to Nicole Kidman. He writes that because Nicole's father was a psychologist (a science said to be frowned upon by the religion) and that she had given an interview emphasizing her roots as a Catholic that she would "compromise Tom's commitment to his faith." When the couple split in 2000, Morton claims that Nicole was worried that she might not be able to see the two children the couple had adopted (Isabella and Conor). He also states that she was worried that her Scientology "audit" tapes, which contained details of her sex life, might be leaked if she spoke out. * The author says that Penelope Cruz's father, Eduardo, feared that his daughter would be drawn into a "cult" while she dated her Vanilla Sky co-star, and "emailed an organization devoted to helping cult members and their families."

* Morton says that Tom's current mission is to recruit David and Victoria Beckham. The 45-year-old took Scientology leader David Miscavige to a Real Madrid game in 2004 and when the Beckhams moved to Los Angeles in July last year, he threw them a celebratory party.

Tom's longtime lawyer Bert Fields spoke to the Daily Mail about the book, describing it as "a pack of lies." He said that the tome is "poorly researched and badly written, and it's not really even about Tom Cruise — it's an attack on Scientology." He also said that Morton hasn't spoken to him, Tom's mother, sister, Paula Wagner (Tom's producing partner), his agent, wives, David Beckham, Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez or any of the famous directors he's worked with.

While the book isn't being published in the U.K., readers in the U.S. will have a chance to judge for themselves when it is published Stateside on January 15.

Victoria Beckham reportedly had her breast implants removed to stop her boobs falling out on the Spice Girls tour.

Victoria, also known as Posh, was worried her ample bosom may pop out of her tight Roberto Cavalli outfits while performing the band's dance routines and decided to have her implants taken out to avoid any embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions.

A source is quoted as saying: "There is speculation she had her implants taken out for the tour so she can fit into the costumes without the risk of them falling out during some of the more energetic routines."

Victoria, 33, previously denied having a boob job until court papers were released in 2005 proving she had undergone surgery.

It became very obvious from the start that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a 'natural'.

You know, I've never been that good at anything, to be completely honest.

Eva Longoria has taken Victoria Beckham on a tour of Los Angeles' sex shops.

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress - who is married to basketball star Tony Parker - has been bonding with the Spice Girl over their shared passion for bedroom experimentation and has taken Victoria out to buy sex toys.

A friend of the Latina actress said: "Eva has pointed Victoria in the right direction in Hollywood - the best beauticians, the best places to go for a wax, where she can pick up sexy lingerie and where to buy sex toys. I think David will be pleasantly surprised."

It seems Victoria - who moved Stateside with her family when her husband David signed a contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team - has already been stocking up on goodies for David.

The 33-year-old singer was recently spotted buying various massage products and a vibrating doll from Los Angeles sex boutique Pleasure Chest.

Sources close to the band are worried that Posh is too thin for the gruelling dates, which kick off in December. So, as a result, she's been put on a spinach-rich diet to increase her stamina and energy.

As well as gorging on the green stuff - famous for giving strength to cartoon character Popeye - she has been asked to eat more carbohydrates, with bowls of brown rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We're told: "Vic is under orders to have at least five small meals a day, to get her body prepared for the tour. She isn't too happy about the plan but understands that it's necessary if she's to stay healthy and not burn out over the coming months."

David and Victoria shower each other with lavish gifts, the story said. "While Victoria was expecting their third child, Beckham spent $1.8 million for a diamond encrusted sex toy with matching 16-carat diamond necklace."

As fate would have it, I was scheduled to take part in a conference call with Victoria in connection with her one-hour NBC special, "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America," scheduled for 8 p.m. ET/PT on Monday. Though I've spent a lifetime interviewing people great and small, I've never had the privilege of talking to the owner of a $1.8 million sex toy.

When my turn came, I got my chance. "Does the immense value of this item tend to inhibit you from using it?" I inquired.

And that's when I discovered that, all those Pulitzer Prizes notwithstanding, you can't absolutely rely on the Times.

"It isn't true," Victoria said, her voice calm and measured. "We do buy each other nice things," she admitted, but some things get exaggerated. "I don't have a diamond-encrusted vibrator."

Victoria Beckham stole the show at last week’s Spice Girls press conference with [the] incredible cleavage… spilling out of her tiny corset. But the star reckons she doesn’t know what all the fuss is about. Victoria told Bizarre: “Everyone keeps going on about my [tits] - but they’re only a 32B.”

If your husband made a million a week, what dumb thing would you spend it on? According to In Touch magazine, Victoria Beckham has designed a $500,000 closet for her new L.A. home. It supposedly features a leather floor, Baccarat crystal chandelier, $80,000 Andy Warhol shoe print, a computer that tracks when she wears items of clothing and a camera to give her a 360-degree "cat scan" of her outfit before she steps out.

Victoria Beckham has finally got her revenge on the hoards of paparazzi that constantly follow her every move. Photographers were caught completely off guard when an unlikely body double was helped out of the star’s SUV. Trying to conceal their amusement, members of Team Beckham unloaded a different version of the former Spice Girl - a blow-up doll complete with blonde hair and huge shades.

Turns out it was a clever decoy: Posh was actually across town shopping at Santa Monica’s Pleasure Chest "speciality shop". According to their website, the Pleasure Chest "mixes naughty with very nice, helping all walks of life get comfortable with their sensual side". Looks like David’s in for a treat. Posh, 33, was also spotted trying on a pair of rather racy PVC gloves.
