The athlete, who is married to Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, is currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, and has also played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy. He has also made 115 appearances for England’s national team. "If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy,” said Becks. “I'm fortunate to have realized those dreams.” He added, “I want to thank all my teammates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed."

Choreographer Wade Robson was on Today yesterday where he talked for the first time about his allegations that Michael Jackson sexually abused him. The 30-year-old, who has filed a claim against the singer’s estate, says Jackson performed sexual acts on him, and forced him to reciprocate, from the ages of 7 to 14. “I never forgot one moment of what Michael did to me,” Robson told Matt Lauer, “but I was psychologically unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.” Robson testified at Jackson’s 2005 molestation trial that the singer never touched him, but he now says Jackson forced him into silence by telling him they’d both be sent to prison if their secret got out. He said Jackson told him what they were doing was “an expression of love,” and added, “if you ever tell anyone what we’re doing both of our lives and our careers will be over.” He called Jackson’s hold over him “complete manipulation and brainwashing.” Robson did not excuse Jackson’s behavior, but says he believes the King of Pop was a “troubled man,” who was “also a pedophile.” The attorney for Michael Jackson’s estate is vehemently denying the accusations, calling them a “pathetic and obvious grab for publicity and an attempt to put pressure on the estate to pay him money.”

KITCHEN NIGHTMARES BAKERY AT WAR ONLINE/VOWS TO REOPEN

A bakery in Scottsdale, Arizona has started a war with the public after their negative portrayal on Fox’s Kitchen Nightmares. In the episode that aired last Friday, chef Gordon Ramsay actually walked off the program for the first time in history because the owners of Amy’s Baking Company were so horrible. The couple, Samy and Amy Bouzaglo, stole tips from their staff, cursed at and berated customers, and served sub-par food. After the show aired, their ratings on websites like Yelp took a dive and they answered back in a series of online rants (although they claimed their accounts were hacked). “You are all little punks,” one of their messages read. “Nothing. You are all nothing. We are laughing at you. All of you, just fools. We have God on our side, you just have your sites.” The couple claims they will reopen the restaurant Tuesday, and prove they are being unfairly portrayed. “We are very upset by what has taken place, apologize about the acrimony that has ensued, but now must fight back to save our business,” said Samy. “We hope and believe much good can result from what has transpired. We ask the public to keep an open mind as we begin to tell our side of the story.”

Just one day after Angelina Jolie revealed she had a double mastectomy after testing positive for the cancer gene, People reports the Oscar winner is going to have more surgery in the future. According to the mag, Angie plans to have both of her ovaries removed, since having the gene means she has a 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer, the same disease that killed her mother Marcheline Bertrand in 2007. On Tuesday’s The View, Barbara Walters revealed she too had her ovaries removed after her sister died from ovarian cancer. “It’s not like having the breasts removed because people don’t see it,” said Barbara. “But it’s a decision you have to make – it’s preventative.”

Brad Pitt continues to talk about Angelina Jolie’s brave decision to have a double mastectomy. “I’m quite emotional about it, of course,” he told USA Today. “She could have stayed absolutely private about it and I don't think anyone would have been none the wiser with such good results. But it was really important to her to share the story and that others would understand it doesn't have to be a scary thing. In fact, it can be an empowering thing, and something that makes you stronger and us stronger." He went on to say, “It's such a wonderful relief to come through this and not have a specter hanging over our heads. My most proudest thing is our family. This isn't going to get that." Meanwhile, insiders say Angelina’s ordeal has helped speed up the couple’s wedding plans. Insiders tell The Mail the pair will marry “sooner rather than later,” adding that “Angie is keen on a wedding and the kids are clamoring for a marriage and keep asking Brad and Angie when it’s happening.” The insider insists that “it’s important to them to make it official.”

Q-Three of Brad Pitt’s films – Seven, Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – were all directed by the same man. Who? David Fincher

So I think I have to give him a little break and we’ll see what happens in the future.”

BRAD CALLS ANGIE HEROIC AFTER DOUBLE MASTECTOMY REVELATION

Brad Pitt is opening up about fiancée Angelina Jolie’s decision to have a double mastectomy after finding out she carried the BRCA-1 cancer gene. "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as many others like her, absolutely heroic," Pitt said in a statement to London's Evening Standard. "All I want is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family." Angelina revealed her decision to undergo surgery in an op-ed piece for the New York Times. She said the three-month process began February 2^nd and was completed April 27^th, and included reconstructive surgery of both breasts. Although she was able to keep her procedure private, Angie eventually decided it was important to go public with her decision. “I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience," she wrote. "Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action." Now that she’s undergone the surgery, her chances of developing breast cancer have dropped to less than five percent. "I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she wrote. "It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that’s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was.” [See Spotlight On for more.]

DOUGLAS’ CANCER WENT UNDIAGNOSED FOR NINE MONTHS

In a new interview with New York Magazine, Michael Douglas reveals it took doctors nine months to diagnose his throat cancer. “I knew something was wrong,” he said. “My tooth was really sore, and I thought I had an infection.” After going to two specialists who simply prescribed antibiotics, a friend’s doctor in Montreal looked at his throat and immediately said, “we need a biopsy.’” “Two days later, after the biopsy, the doctor called and said I had to come in,” said Douglas. “He told me it was stage-four cancer. I said, ‘Stage four. Jesus.’ And that was that. After complaining for nine months and them not finding anything, and then they told me I was stage four? That was a big day.” Douglas says he felt cancer was payback for his successful career. “That’s life,” he said. “Things had been going good for me for a long time. I was ready for some karmic retribution.”

TRUE GRIT STAR FIGHTS BULLIES

True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld reveals in Glamour magazine that she was once the target of bullies. “Bullying is something I went through from third to sixth grade when I got pulled out (of school),” she tells the magazine. “I still go through it.” Hailee is a big supporter of the Trevor Project, which seeks to empower gay and lesbian teens and protect them from bullying. Explains the 16-year-old, “If I can be the person who says, ‘trust me when I tell you it will be okay,’ then I will be that person.” Asked what she would say to bullies, Hailee said, “often bullies are taking something (personal) out on others. If they use that energy to make someone smile, we can save so many people in the long run.”

Before she could become a Disney princess, Brave’s Merida apparently needed a royal makeover. The animated heroine was officially crowned the 11^th Disney princess last weekend (joining the likes of Jasmine, Belle and Mulan), and with the honor came a few tweaks to her image. The new Merida is thinner, with perfected facial features, tamed hair and a more suggestive dress. The makeover has caused critics to complain that the strong, independent Merida, who was initially called a great role model for young girls, has been made to conform to the traditional princess stereotype. This is a whole lot of fuss over a cartoon character!
