Beckham's Girl Checks Out La's Posher Houses
Sun, 14 Jan 2007 20:02:37 | Rate news: +0
Victoria Beckham the former Spice Girl and wife of soccer superstar David Beckham, has arrived in Los Angeles for a spot of house hunting following her husband's decision to play with the Los Angeles club Galaxy in a five-year deal believed to be worth about $250 million over five years.

Victoria landed at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday aboard a British Airways flight from London.

She was trailed by soccer intrigue from Spain, where the coach of Real Madrid said Beckham would no longer play for the club -- just practise. The development came as news to the star midfielder, according to one of his representatives.

Formerly known as Posh Spice, of the Spice Girls, the 32-year-old singer was headed to California to look at homes and schools for their children, said one of David Beckham's spokesmen. He declined to discuss in which neighbourhoods Victoria was house hunting.

Beckham is expected to join the Californian team in August.

His contract with Real Madrid expires in June.

Judging by some British reaction to Beckham's latest career swerve, you would have thought he had betrayed the nation, defrauded fans and mugged a few old ladies on the way home.

"A true genius ruined by his greed," spat one headline.

"Yanks a billion," read another. "Fitting final backdrop to a career in freefall," sneered another.

By footballing standards, Beckham's decision to leave a powerhouse European team for an obscure outfit in LA is the equivalent of British Prime Minister Tony Blair going to be a sub-postmaster in Little Rock, Arkansas. But in financial terms it's the jackpot -- possibly the most lucrative contract given to a sports star.

There will be other perks, too, of varying desirability.

Tom Cruise is offering to organise a welcoming party that would introduce Beckham to the A-list of Hollywood (and quitepossibly the finer points of Scientology).

Victoria will be able to pop round for coffee with her pal Katie Holmes (Tom's wife) without catching a private jet, and the LA celebrity circuit may even resuscitate her moribund career.

There is already talk of a reality TV show of Dosh and Bucks (as Posh and Becks are now being called) just moving to LA, let alone living there.

For a man who grew up as the working-class son of a kitchen fitter and hairdresser in Leytonstone, east London, it's a remarkable journey.
