Brooklyn Beckham reunited with Chloe Moretz

Brooklyn Beckham has been reunited with girlfriend Chloe Moretz – just days after saying he was missing his "bae".

The 17-year-old photographer, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, had been pining for the 19-year-old actress and looked thrilled to be in her company again.

Uploading a cute picture of the couple enjoying a day in the sunshine together, Brooklyn simply captioned the photo with two love hearts.

He tenderly had his hand on Chloe’s knee, with her hand wrapped around his.

It is thought the couple were in California after Brooklyn was seen jetting to Los Angeles out of London last week.

While Chloe had been in LA, Brooklyn had been with his family in the UK but made it clear he was desperate to be reunited with his girlfriend.

Last week, he shared a black and white photo of them looking lovingly at each other, gushing: "When you’re missing bae 🙁 (sic)"

And it seems Chloe is just as smitten and recently revealed how Brooklyn makes her feel great about herself whenever she is feeling low.

She said: "My boyfriend is a huge support. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I don’t need a man for anything, but when I’m feeling bad about myself, he’s like, ‘Stop. Look at what you say in interviews. Look at what you stand for. Listen to your own words, because you’re as beautiful as you say you are!’

"It’s nice to have a young man who’s 17 years old be able to look at a woman that way. I think it means we’re on the right track."

Chloe confirmed her and Brooklyn were an item earlier this year following months of speculation about their relationship.

The Spice Girls planning TV documentary?

The Spice Girls are planning to document their comeback for the small screen.

Three members of the girl group – Mel B, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton – are reportedly in talks for a three-part TV series to follow them on the road to their big 20th anniversary celebration.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "The Spice Girls comeback is the big story in pop so it’s no wonder the girls want to maximise their popularity.

"There is certainly a big audience for it. BBC, ITV and Sky will no doubt be fighting it out for the rights. The girls are always good value, so there will be plenty of material."

However, it is thought the trio won’t be joined by their bandmates Victoria Beckham and Mel C as they film footage from the recording studio and relive memories from the 90s.

Meanwhile, the news comes only hours after it was revealed Simon Cowell is "desperate" to spearhead a Spice Girls album.

A source said at the time: "Simon is desperate to make a new Spice Girls album. He doesn’t want to miss out after the first time around. He spent the X Factor auditions last week quizzing Mel about the band and said he would do ‘something mega’ if they signed with him.

"He kept asking if they were going to be producing new music and said if so, he wants to do it with them. He even went as far as warning Mel that they’d better not talk to any other labels before meeting with him. Mel deliberately kept coy and told him they ‘hadn’t finalised everything’, but he wouldn’t leave it alone."

Mel has previously revealed The Spice Girls are determined to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album in some way.

Simon Cowell ‘desperate’ to make Spice Girls album

Simon Cowell wants to make a Spice Girls album.

The 56-year-old music mogul – who famously failed to sign the girl group when they auditioned for him at the beginning of their career – is reportedly "desperate" to team up with the band to mark their 20th anniversary.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon is desperate to make a new Spice Girls album. He doesn’t want to miss out after the first time around. He spent the X Factor auditions last week quizzing Mel about the band and said he would do ‘something mega’ if they signed with him.

"He kept asking if they were going to be producing new music and said if so, he wants to do it with them. He even went as far as warning Mel that they’d better not talk to any other labels before meeting with him. Mel deliberately kept coy and told him they ‘hadn’t finalised everything’, but he wouldn’t leave it alone."

Meanwhile, the father-of-one previously revealed not signing the group – which includes Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel C, Geri Horner and Mel B – was the biggest "regret" of his music career.

He said: "Spice Girls is probably my biggest mistake. I offered them a deal, but they didn’t want to sign to me, so that kind of hurt at the time."

Even an audition in the car park couldn’t secure it for the girls, as Mel B previously revealed.

She recalled: "Simon was coming out of work and we kind of hijacked the car park he was in and just sang for him. We said, ‘Look, we’re going to be famous one day, can you sign us?’ He said, ‘No, it’s not going to work.’"

Spice Girls praised as ‘hard-working, ambitious and highly-motivated’

The Spice Girls have been praised as "hard-working, ambitious and highly-motivated".

Legendary British jazz star Pepi Lemer, who was the Spice Girls’ original vocal coach, admitted there were plenty of tears as she taught the girls to work together as a group but praised them for their determination to succeed.

She said: "My impression of them was, and always has been, of a hard-working, ambitious and highly-motivated group, which held them in good stead.

"They came from disparate backgrounds, had different personalities and were different vocally. Most had not left home, so were missing their families and they had to learn to curb any egos and find a way of living and working together.

"They were learning as a group, not as individuals, so I had to fit in to their needs. My time was spent very intensely with them. "As you can imagine, they were learning to sing as a group – so there were quite a few tears!"

Victoria Beckham has gone on to become a celebrated fashion designer and Pepe, 72, is not surprised because she says Posh Spice was stylish from the very start.

She explained: "At the start, the girls had no money for clothes so I used to bring my cast offs for them. Victoria showed little interest, but I don’t blame her – she had taste even then!

"I remember coveting a handbag Victoria had back then. I think it was from Top Shop. Oh, how things have changed."

The group – which is also comprised of Geri Horner, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton – is celebrating 20 years since the release of first single ‘Wannabe’ and Pepe is proud of their success.

She said: "I was part of their first team and we all feel so proud of what they have achieved."

Pepi – who has also worked with The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Madonna – will take to the stage at PizzaExpress Jazz Club in London’s Soho on June 27 after successfully beating cancer of the oesophagus.

She said: "This live show – and each and every one that follows – is a triumph over the impossible… because I never thought I would live to see them."

Pepi will perform songs from her album ‘Back2Front’, which is her first ever solo record.

Brooklyn Beckham to rap on The Vamps’ new record

Brooklyn Beckham is set to rap on The Vamps’ new album.

The 17-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has previously appeared in a music video for the band – which is comprised of Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans – but now he will show off his rapping skills on their latest record.

Brad told The Sun: "We want to get him involved. He can spit bars. He’s going to be rapping on the album.

"We’re probably two thirds through the album. It’s been fun. We just want to get more music out."

Brooklyn is good friends with The Vamps and previously appeared in the music video for their song ‘Wake Up’.

Speaking about working with Brooklyn, they said: "We were lucky enough to have Brooklyn in the video, he’s a super nice guy and crazy talented.

"Making the music video for ‘Wake Up’ was something we were super excited about! It has been a year since we did our last shoot, and we were eager to get involved in a new one!

"This video was something we had never done before; we performed on top of a radio tower, 100 feet in the air. It was pretty scary, but absolutely awesome."

Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s close pal Tallia Storm recently praised the photographer’s rapping skills, revealing his obsession with late US rappers including Tupac and Notorious B.I.G.

She said: "In my kitchen, we used to stand and rap.

"He’s obsessed with Tupac and Notorious B.I.G, so he’d always stand there and dance and rap to them.

"He’s really good. So maybe he’s a rapper, yeah. But he’s an amazing photographer."

Mel B: ‘Victoria wishes her mic was turned off’

Mel B has denied Victoria Beckham’s claims that her microphone was turned off when she performed with the Spice Girls.

Although the 42-year-old fashion designer previously said Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Mel C and Mel B were left to take the lead while she was inaudible, Mel, 41, insists she knows nothing about it and suggested Victoria might have asked for her own sound to be disabled.

She told Entertainment Tonight: "She wishes it was turned off!

"We sung live, and we wrote and recorded all our music together live and we performed it live. It wasn’t turned down. Not that I know of. Maybe she secretly asked for that – I don’t know about that."

Victoria previously said: "They used to turn it off and just let the others sing. I got the last laugh – and now my mic is well and truly on, finally."

However, she still went on to enjoy solo success with four top 10 singles after the Spice Girls went on indefinite hiatus in 2000.

Meanwhile, Mel confirmed the band are working on a celebration for their 20th anniversary but ruled out a joint concert with the Backstreet Boys.

She said: "It’s an ongoing thing we keep talking about, and it is our 20th anniversary, so we’re going to do something.

"We’re just trying to figure that out right now. There will be something happening."

"We want the stage to ourselves if we’re going to do it! But, I love the Backstreet Boys. They’re great."

Eva Longoria hated engagement ring

Eva Longoria didn’t like her engagement ring.

The 41-year-old actress has decided to ditch the diamond sparkler her new husband José Pepe Bastón proposed with in December in favor of just her wedding band because she finds the detailing "too much" for her style.

She said: "I’m a simple girl. My engagement ring was a bit too much for me so I couldn’t wait to wear just the band."

The loved-up couple got hitched late last month in Mexico surrounded by their close friends and family and Eva believes their special day couldn’t have gone any better.

She explained: "It was a magical. Ricky Martin jumped up and sang ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ and one of his old Menudo songs. Carlos Vives sang our first dance song, that was a surprise. Vanessa Williams sang ‘Save the Best For Last. We were standing at the altar and I hear the song ‘Save the Best For Last’ and I was like, ‘Uh, God I wonder who’s singing this song?’ And Pepe goes, ‘Turn around,’ and I turn around and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ "

And Eva was thrilled her best friend Victoria Beckham agreed to make her gorgeous gown for her nuptials because she was able to have the exact look she wanted.

She said: "It was so much fun because when I was in London, Victoria pulled out every single dress she’s ever made and we got to like pick that top with this bottom but that zipper but this color but that fabric… I just felt like a little girl in the best wardrobe ever."

Meanwhile, Eva may have legally taken on her husband’s name but she has admitted she’s not keen on dropping her maiden name for work purposes.

Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ she said: "When you change your name, nobody uses it. So I’m gonna do Eva Longoria Bastón, but we’ll see."

Eva Longoria: My wedding was magical

Eva Longoria’s wedding was "magical".

The ‘Telenovela’ star tied the knot with José Pepe Bastón late last month and can’t believe how well the day and her subsequent honeymoon went.

She said: "[Our wedding] was so magical. We had so much fun as you can see from all the posts from everybody. It was the funnest wedding I had ever been to. I’m glad it was mine.

"I just flew back [from the honeymoon] a couple of hours ago. We went to Hong Kong, Cambodia, Thailand. We had this amazing wedding blessing from a monk who tied these [red string bracelets] on us. It was magical. My honeymoon was magical."

And the 41-year-old actress hasn’t ruled out the possibility of having children soon but says she is content with her "three beautiful step-kids" at the moment.

When asked about having children, she added: "Who knows! One thing at a time. I have three beautiful step-kids who are just amazing. They were part of the wedding so it was just special."

Meanwhile, Eva was thrilled to have her close pal Victoria Beckham have such an important part in the wedding.

She told E! News: "[Victoria] did everything. I actually wore three dresses over the weekend and they were all Victoria’s. I went to London twice. I had two fittings.

"She really was so involved in developing my dress because she wanted it to be what I wanted. She wanted it to be perfect. She was like, ‘I don’t do wedding dresses’ and I was like, ‘I don’t want a wedding dress. I want a simple elegant beautiful dress’ and I couldn’t think of anyone who would do it better than Victoria."

Eva Longoria’s intimate wedding ceremony

Eva Longoria wanted to get married in her home so the focus was on "celebrating" love.

The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star wed Jose ‘Pepe’ Baston in an intimate ceremony earlier this month and opted for a simple venue as she didn’t want the focus to be about the event but rather on the meaning of marriage.

She said: "We wanted to get married in our house and do something very intimate, private.

"We have both been married before and we know the wedding is not the marriage so we wanted to pick a place so it wouldn’t be about the event but about celebrating our love. Now are looking forward to the marriage part."

And the 41-year-old beauty was thrilled her close pal Victoria Beckham designed her outfits for the celebrations and praised the gown’s "quiet elegance".

She added: "I wanted it to be special and made with love – and I knew that Victoria would make it with love. I went to her because I didn’t want a traditional wedding dress. I wanted a beautiful white gown and she makes beautiful, simple, elegant gowns. The style is simple with a quiet elegance.

"It’s her signature Victoria Beckham design and it has a great zipper that goes all the way down the back. The silk crepe she uses pulls you in but is comfortable. And it is the most beautiful white – not too bright and not too antique looking, just the perfect white. She was the best sweetest person to have there on this day. Not only did she do my wedding dress but she’s one of my best friends so for her to be there was so special."

Eva was also happy to have Pepe’s children take part in the wedding.

She added to HELLO! magazine: "Pepe’s two daughters and son were the only ones in the wedding party. His daughters walked down the aisle with me and the kids all held the rings. They were part of the ceremony, of course, because I’m not just marrying Pepe, I’m marrying his whole family. For me it was so important that their happiness was at the centre of this celebration and it was. They were so excited and happy."
