Posh
agonized over Becks' affair with aide
London:
Victoria Beckham is distraught as rumours gain steam
over hubby David Beckham's alleged affair with an aide.
According to the Sun, the singer looked completely numbed
at reports that the Real Madrid mid-fielder had romped with
his aide Rebecca Loos on nights out in Madrid. Victoria
fought hard to control her angst and emotion as she flew
to Switzerland with her family for a skiing holiday. She
seemed absorbed in thought following 28-year old David's
denials that he had been seeing former personal assistant
Rebecca.
"I
believe David is telling me the truth - he didn't have an
affair with Rebecca," she was quoted as saying to a pal.
Posh was devoid of make-up, had little jewellery and did
not touch her in-flight meal. She spent much of the trip
pleading with sons Romeo and Brooklyn to be quiet in the
second row of Business Class aboard British Airways flight
BA730 from Heathrow to Geneva. Posh leaned heavily for support
on sister Louise, who also leaned across to touch her arm
comfortingly. Wine ordered by Posh's parents hardly helped
lift the pall of gloom. Meanwhile, Rebecca's brother John
claimed Sunday she confirmed to him in a phone call that
she HAD bedded Becks. Becks' ex-bodyguard, Cuban security
expert Delfin Fernandez, claimed the star and Rebecca kissed
"like teenagers" as he drove them to Madrid hotels.

Washington:
Catherine Zeta-Jones seems to be inspired heavily by
Protean actress Charlize Theron. So much so that she is
desperate to depict the character of Welsh killer Ruth Ellis
on celluloid in order to win the same success as Theron,
IMDB.com reported. The Welsh star is optimistic that starring
in a film fueled by "gritty realism" will peak her chances
of bagging a Best Actress Academy Award, a report in Britain's
Daily Express tabloid stated. The "Chicago" star believes
that the flick based on Ellis, who in 1955 became the last
woman to be hanged in Britain, will showcase her talents
as a leading lady. "She wants to show the world she's a
great actress. She's seeking out more meaty roles and she'd
be perfect to play Ruth Ellis because she is Welsh," a source
said.

him",a source close to the band said. The bitterness goes
