7:00AM Seth | The Case of the Sticky-Fingered Domestics. The British tabloid press is reporting that Gareth Emmett, 25, has been arrested for suspected burglary following the arrest of parents Eric and June Emmett—who happen to be David and Victoria Beckham’s housekeepers. “[Posh's] dad Tony first became suspicious after being alerted to the personal nature of some memorabilia that was being flogged on eBay. He and wife Jackie checked them out – and were horrified to discover they were identical to items that should have been at their daughter’s mansion.” Dammit! Just when we thought that orange bathrobe was practically in our hot little hands. [Daily Mail] More »

Sandilands On Beckham’s Appendage: “He’s Got It Going On”

1:11PM Clem Bastow | In the scheme of “unpleasant mental images”, it’s probably safe to say that the idea of “King” Kyle Sandilands at the urinal probably ranks with, as the old Austin Powers line goes, Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day (or, while we’re on the topic, Alexander Downer wearing that old stockings and high heels get-up – BUT WITH NOTHING ELSE). So how kind of Sandilands to forcibly enter the nation’s imagination with a little anecdote he couldn’t help but tell about the time he perved on David Beckham’s knob accidentally shared a bathroom with David Beckham. Sandilands told listeners to his radio show that he had been “in the toilet at Villa nightclub in LA and there’s only two urinals in there, it’s very small”. Hold your horses, those of you in the back – he means the toilet is very small. Carry on, Kyle! More »

Tom Cruise and The Bizarre Gifts That Keep Giving (Giving His Friends The Creeps, That Is)

9:20AM Molly Friedman | What fun it must be to have a baby, get married, or turn one year older if you’re lucky enough to be chummy with Village People Fan Club president Tom Cruise. As a card-carrying member of Tom’s inner circle of disco-dancing Xenu-fearing tribe of pals, new mum Nicole Kidman had the joy of receiving one of Cruise’s trademark lavish gifts — as People reports, the birth of little Sunday Urban prompted Nicole’s ex-partner in bearded crime to send over a huge “high-end” gift basket filled to the brim with fancy baby must-haves. But after reviewing Tom’s history of gifting his nearest and dearest with incredibly bizarre and, at times, inappropriate items, we suspect his inclusion of “Giraffe baby blankets” might actually be a subtle swipe at Kidman’s tendency to resemble the long-necked drowsy animal. Cruise’s unnerving presents of the past to fellow Tom-ophiles like Dakota Fanning and Katie Holmes, after the jump.
