Victoria Beckham confesses “I miss LA!”

Victoria Beckham confesses "I miss LA!"

Life is on the move once again for Victoria Beckham, and it seems change is bringing mixed feelings for the busy fashion designer and mum of four.

Signing a new contract this week with French football team Paris St Germain, Victoria’s soccer-star husband David Beckham sealed the deal on a new life for his family back in Europe – meaning a move back to London and new schools for their three boys.

Victoria, who was taking part in a live Facebook chat on Monday for Elle magazine, revealed: “I miss LA! I love America and am very excited to be in New York for Fashion Week, but I’m enjoying spending time in London.

“The boys are loving their new schools and we’re all very excited about also spending some time in Paris over the next few months!”

According to the UK’s Daily Mail, the A-list couple have already enrolled their three sons in a $23,000-a-year London school and are currently house hunting in South-West London.

“The thing they are most concerned about is giving the children stability,” revealed a source close to the family. “What is nice about being back in the UK is that they would be near to both their families again.”

The 38-year-old fashion designer responded to questions from fans, not only on the big move but also the pressures of juggling motherhood with a hectic work schedule.

She said: “Every mother struggles with balancing work and a family. I focus and plan really thoroughly.”

Victoria is currently in the US with her 19-month-old daughter Harper, and gearing up to unveil her latest collection at New York Fashion Week.

Prince Harry stood up by girlfriend

Prince Harry stood up by girlfriend

Prince Harry and his reported new love interest, Burberry model Cressida Bonas, 23.

Millions of women would kill just to stand next to Prince Harry, but the only girl he wants by his side appears to be playing hard to get.

The 28-year-old royal was left red-faced on Saturday when his current love interest Cressida Bonas stood him up at a London pub.

Harry arrived at popular West London haunt The Brown Cow early in the evening, apparently keen to celebrate his first proper night out since returning from his four-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.

The bar was packed, but onlookers say the party-loving Prince only had one thing on his mind — Cressida. The UK’s Daily Mail reports Harry eagerly scanned the faces of the pub’s blonde clientele, and was visibly dejected when hers was not among them.

“Among the wall-to-wall willowy blondes there was only one he was seeking out: and she, to his bitter disappointment, wasn’t there,” the paper reports.

With hunched shoulders and his baseball cap pulled low over his face, he sat at the bar drinking his favourite beer with a shot of Jagermeister while girls fought for the chance to chat to him.

He was obviously uninterested in the parade of leggy ladies, saying as few words as possible before he gave up and left at 9pm, looking “despondent”.

Harry and Cressida — who have known each other for years — got together at a music festival in May and were spotted kissing at several nightclubs throughout June and July.

They enjoyed a romantic holiday at Richard Branson’s Necker Island in September, but just a few days afterwards, their fledgling romance was on the rocks when Harry was photographed naked with another girl in Las Vegas.

Cressida was reportedly okay with the nudity and the other woman, but disturbed by the increased media scrutiny on their relationship.

“By the time Harry set off for Afghanistan, things were very much up in the air between them,” the Daily Mail reports. “Cressida was happy to ‘play things by ear’ until his return, while Harry was keen to do as much as he could to keep her interested.

“He sent her ‘blueys’ (letters penned on Army-issue blue paper) and he called her more frequently than he called his own father.

“It was a romantic time for them both and, despite the distance, Harry spent a lot of time soul-searching. But now, Harry has returned to find Cressida more unsure than ever about her future.”

Harry’s friends are reportedly desperate to help make the relationship work, but Cressida’s are unsure she is ready to settle down.

Lara and Jesinta’s love triangle

Lara and Jesinta's love triangle

AFL star Buddy Franklin is also scoring heavily off the field.

He is AFL football’s pin-up boy, and now Woman’s Day can reveal that Lance “Buddy” Franklin is also apparently more than just friends with two of Australia’s hottest young models. The Hawthorn sharpshooter and beauty queen-turned-TV star Jesinta Campbell have been enjoying a casual fling in recent weeks.

Apparently unbeknown to Jesinta, 21, our insider claims that Buddy, 26, has also recently hooked up with his long-time friend Lara Bingle, 25. He spent a casual evening with Lara following the Portsea Polo event on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne, according to sources.However, far from being broken-hearted over the footy hunk, Lara is reportedly now dating Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis after recently breaking up with her boyfriend of a year, Gareth Moody.

Our source explains Jesinta fell for Buddy shortly after they met at the AFL’s Brownlow Medal presentation in late September. “Jesinta was absolutely besotted with Buddy,” the insider says. “She falls hard for her men… and she fell hard for Buddy.”

Hawthorn’s powerbrokers are aware of the forward’s blooming “friendship” with Jesinta, but are helping him keep it quiet to avoid any unnecessary public glare and distraction. The 196cm tall footballer, who has a tattoo adorning his left arm, is also known to sneak into Sydney to catch up with mates – which allows him to fly under the dating radar. Woman’s Day understands that Buddy and Jesinta have been enjoying wild nights inside Melbourne’s exclusive Crown Towers five-star hotel, according to a Crown employee, who wishes to remain anonymous.

Suffocated Liam snaps at Miley: I need space

Suffocated Liam snaps at Miley: I need space

Friends are warning the Aussie actor to sort out his relationship before it’s too late.

Miley Cyrus will tell anyone within cooee that her hunky fiance Liam Hemsworth is her true love and her number-one priority. But sadly for her, it seems he has other ideas. When the 23-year-old Aussie wrapped Catching Fire, the second instalment of The Hunger Games trilogy and the most important film of his blossoming career, he was desperate for a little R&R.

But his idea of a break wasn’t to whisk his bride-to-be off for a romantic escape. Instead, he planned to meet up with his brothers Chris and Luke and dad Craig in Costa Rica for some sun, sand, surf and male bonding.

Far from letting boys be boys, sources tell Woman’s Day the 20-year-old pop princess insisted Liam take her with him for the five-day getaway, telling him she couldn’t bear being apart from him, even for just a long weekend. And before the boys knew it, Miley and her motley crew of pet dogs were boarding the plane as well.

“This trip was very important to Liam, because he’s been working 16 hours a day, seven days a week filming, and he is absolutely shattered,” our source says. “This was supposed to be a chance to recharge his batteries, but it seems Miley has turned this into a whole bunch of drama. “Miley has always put a lot of pressure on Liam and he describes their relationship as intense,” our source explains. “She pushed hard for them to get engaged, and Liam thought that if he proposed, Miley would feel more secure about their relationship and he might get some room to breathe.”

Nicole and Keith: Yes, It’s true!

Nicole and Keith: Yes, It's true!

Nicole and Keith can’t keep their secret any longer – they’re expanding their family.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have always been careful to keep their emotions firmly in check – at least in public. But last week, reunited at Sydney airport, the couple threw caution to the wind, racing to embrace as soon as Nicole and their daughters Sunday, 4, and Faith, 2, left the terminal.

And our sources explain there’s a very exciting reason behind the latest scene in their real-life love story. Members of the Urban clan’s inner circle have confirmed to Woman’s Day that Nicole and Keith are trying for another baby. “Even though Faith was carried by a surrogate, they’ve never stopped trying for another baby by natural means,” a source close to the family tells Woman’s Day exclusively.

“Nic is 45, so she knows it’s unlikely, but she and Keith do have a very passionate relationship so, as she says, ‘There’s always a chance.’ And it’s an open secret among their friends that Keith would love to have a son.”Keith, 45, has spoken positively about their surrogacy experience.

“Nic couldn’t get pregnant [with Faith], so we found a beautiful woman to help us,” he says. Now friends are speculating that the couple are deciding to go down that path again. “Nic knows there isn’t a strong chance she will conceive again on her own,” a close friend confides. “But just in case, she isn’t taking birth control. She and Keith have considered the same surrogate who gave them Faith to help them have baby number three.”

The Spice girls: We’re annoying, so what?

The Spice girls: We're annoying, so what?

Popularity has never been their strong point.

They’ve been called everything from “Spice Girls” to spoilt brats, but MKR’s Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila are used to not winning friends. “I said to Mum the other day, ‘My friends are coming over to watch TV,’ and she said, ‘What friends?’” Biswa, 23, reveals.

“We don’t have many friends,” Jessie, 25, agrees. “People probably think we’re being b—-es, but we’re just being honest and many people can’t handle that… I probably am high maintenance.” The girls know their mile-a-minute chatter can put people off. “People might envy the fact we have the courage to say what we want…We are loud, we are opinionated and we are in your face.”

With a boyfriend of seven years and a wedding on the cards, Jessie is struggling to choose her bridal party. “I was thinking about who to have as my bridesmaids and I am having trouble choosing someone else besides Biswa,” she says. “I’m choosing one of my friends who is a boy!”Don’t expect them to change.

“One person has to be the bad guy – and if it’s us, let it be,” Jessie says. “We are fussy and know what we want. If it makes us princesses, then I guess we are princesses. Princesses know what they want and they get it.”
