David and Victoria Beckham have announced the birth of their daughter

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham welcome first daughter.
The baby girl, who weighed in at 7lbs 10oz, was born this morning at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Simon Oliveira, David Beckham's PR representative, confirmed on Twitter: "David & Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter.

"Happy and healthy she arrived at 7.55 am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and weighed 7lbs 10oz. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family."

The footballer and former Spice Girl already have three sons together - Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and 6-year-old Cruz.

The child's name has not yet been revealed, but the 37-year-old fashion designer denied reports in April that the new baby will be called Santa.

Victoria previously said that she didn't take maternity leave prior to the birth of her daughter.

Mel B 'falls out with Victoria Beckham'

Mel B has reportedly fallen out with fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

The pair haven't spoken for months after Beckham couldn't accommodate Mel's request to wear her designer dresses in reality show It's A Scary World, the Sunday Mirror reports.

A source said: "Victoria would have lent her outfits if she could have done but she just didn't have anything. The samples were not the right size for Mel's curves and the sizes she needed were not in stock.

"Mel seemed to take offence that she didn't pull strings and she was fuming. The trouble is even if Victoria had sent her dresses the likelihood is she wouldn't have got them back. That's what Mel is known for. Although that thought didn't even come into the equation, Victoria got it in the neck from her.

"They've not spoken for months. Mel was clearly very angry. She explodes and goes mental and takes a while for her anger to simmer down. Posh is not too worried - it's Mel who's holding a grudge."

Beckham will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award

David Beckham will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards tomorrow.

The broadcaster revealed that the award will recognise Beckham's "huge contribution to football" over the 18 years he has played since making his first-team debut for Manchester United at 17 in 1992.

Beckham has won 115 international caps - an all-time record for an English outfield player - and amassed over 450 appearances in his senior career. He also remains the only English player to score in three consecutive World Cup finals.

Having twice been a runner-up in the Fifa World Player of the Year award, the father-of-three was previously named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2001.

Previous winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award include last year's recipient Seve Ballesteros, Sir Bobby Charlton in 2008 and Beckham's former manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2001.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards will be broadcast on Sunday at 7pm.

Beckhams 'quitting the UK for good'

David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly put their Hertfordshire mansion on the market as they prepare to quit the UK for good.

According to the Sunday Mirror, the couple are selling their Sawbridgeworth family home - dubbed 'Beckingham Palace' - for £18m after deciding to relocate to America permanently.

A source said: "Frankly they cannot see themselves ever returning to make London their full-time base. The children are settled, speak with American accents and David and Victoria are immersed in the laid back Los Angeles way of life. They love it there - they're well liked, have plenty of friends and feel it's their spiritual home.

"Beckingham Palace takes a lot of looking after. They have a petting farm with miniature animals, swimming pools indoor and out and huge grounds. Then this summer, the time they spent in Europe was at their South of France chateau. Sawbridgeworth just sits there empty.

"It made them realise it was pointless having it. Victoria's design studio is in Battersea so when she's over for business she stays in Claridge's Hotel as it's more central. They spend a small fortune on London hotel bills and have a house an hour away sitting empty."

The pair are allegedly looking to buy a London townhouse for their occasional visits to the city.

"I thought it would fun for people to see firsthand an inside look at my experiences during Fashion Week."

Her first tweet read: "Finally!! Leaving for UK tomorrow 'Airport is my runway!!' Can't wait for fashion week! In love and light x VB. (sic)"

She also revealed that she is "honoured" that her label has been shortlisted by the British Fashion Council for its 'Designer Brand Of The Year' prize.

Beckham was welcomed to the network by friends including Eva Longoria and Ryan Seacrest, who wished her son Romeo a "happy belated birthday" and asked what she had treated him to. She replied that they enjoyed an "amazing lazer tag" party and "had so much fun".

Posh demands sex five times a day!

Victoria Beckham, who longs for a baby girl, has been asking hubby David to have sex with her five times a day, it has emerged.

Apparently, the former Spice Girl has set up a baby chart showing the best times to conceive.

It was during the family's Easter break in the Caribbean when Posh kicked off the plan.

Meanwhile, soccer idol David revealed to his pals that he is struggling to keep up with his rampant wife as he limps around with strapping on his Achilles tendon.

He is now recovering in Los Angeles while Victoria is on a business trip in London. They are scheduled to meet on Monday, reports The Sun.

A family friend said: "David's knackered and was relieved to get a break.

"He's not complaining. But with all the strapping on his foot just getting about is hard enough, let alone bedroom gymnastics five times a day.

"Vic is desperate to get pregnant and has a timetable for sex.

"From what David's said it basically means he must produce the goods whenever it's possible and be on continuous standby.

"He's exhausted and is just trying to get his energy back for Victoria's return."
