Lights! Camera! David Beckham!
British soccer player-turned-actor Vinnie Jones (Year One) wants to do a remake of the 1981 film Escape to Victory. He wants to recruit his friend David Beckham to play the lead role.
The original film was directed by John Huston and starred Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine. It tells the story of a soccer match between POWs and German soldiers during World War Two.
According to the British paper The Sun, Jones would direct this new version and take one of the lead roles. Beckham would play the role that Stallone originally had.
A source said: "The original soccer players’ acting skills were very wooden. This time many players have acting experience and the producers reckon they can really make it work.
"Vinnie’s already spoken to a few and some big names are keen to get involved. There’s even talk of Caine and Stallone getting cameo roles."
For now, David Beckham is recovering after seriously injuring an Achilles tendon a few weeks ago.
In 2003, Beckham appeared as himself in Bend It Like Beckham and in 2005’s Goal!. If this movie comes to pass, this will be the first time he actually acts in a film.
FashionMag reports Adidas Originals is introducing its new 2010 international ad campaign called Celebrating Originality on the Streets.

Some of the big names on hand were Noel Gallagher, Snoop Dogg, Franz Beckenbauer as well as David Beckham, Ciara and Adrienne Bailon.
Adidas Originals also passed the camera to some famous ladies who filmed each other as they modelled the brand’s Spring/Summer 2010 Women’s collection. Some of the beauties involved include Agyness Deyn and Whitney Port.
The label was very happy with its 2009 campaign, House Party, and the positive feedback it received. So it decided to take this year’s ads to the next level with a new campaign.

No arrivederci for George Clooney
Actor George Clooney denies rumours he is about to sell his villa on Lake Como in Laglio, Italy to David Beckham and his wife, Victoria.
A story started circulating that Beckham was negotiating to buy the property from the actor. It is worth $41.6 million US. The soccer star is back in Europe playing with soccer club AC Milan.
It went on to say that Clooney was looking to buy an island.
It is true that the British athlete fell in love with the area and Clooney’s villa. He was quoted in Italian media as saying, "I have fallen in love with the beautiful countryside. It’s peaceful, quiet and near Milan. It would be great for the family."
Laglio Mayor Roberto Pozzo was quoted saying he hoped they did move to the area.
George Clooney denies the story. He says it is completely made up. He states bluntly, "I am not buying an island and am not selling my house in Italy. The story was made up, then picked up and now denied."
Victoria desperately wants a girl
Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham has three boys with her husband, soccer player David Beckham. According to Music-News, she hopes to get pregnant and have a girl this year after her hubby finishes playing in the World Cup in South Africa.
The 35-year old star is impatient to conceive, especially since her younger sister, Louise, annouced she is pregnant with her fourth.
A source close to the family says, "Louise has just told everyone she is expecting and Vic has immediately become broody. She and David have always wanted a girl. He’d love more kids so it’s great news."
Their youngest child, Cruz, is already four years old while his two older brothers, Brooklyn and Romeo, are ten and seven.
Victoria Beckham was recently approached by none other than the emir of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He offered her nearly $45 million to design a luxury hotel to be built on Dubai’s Isla Moda. It is one in a group of 300 man-made islands called The World, built to recreate a map of the world.
Victoria Beckham Clings to Her Stilettos
Doctors have advised the Spice Girl-turned-designer to undergo a surgery to alleviate a painful condition she has, which is a deformation of the bones and joints of the foot that affects the big toe and can become extremely painful.
However, Beckham prefers to do exercises and wear corrective orthotics in her shoes rather than go under the knife, which would force her to refrain from wearing high heels for several months, until the inflammation subsides.
A source revealed, "Victoria is in agony with her misshapen feet. She is suffering from shooting pain from the bunions."
The source added, "But she is worried about having the operation because she fears they will compromise her ability to wear heels and ruin her stylish look."
The wife of soccer star David Beckham has decided to expand her fashion arena and introduce a collection of shoes and handbags for her label, although its launch date has not been announced.
Adidas Originals by Originals has collaborated with soccer star David Beckham for a new collection.
The fall/winter 2009 line, which was launched yesterday (September 30) in Los Angeles, features items made from fine fabrics, such as cashmere and leather. Beckham also created shoes and accessories for men.
