David Beckham appears to have suffered an injury just as his US sojourn looks to be turning around in his favour – and with a huge match in front of him.

Becks, who is reportedly wearing a medical boot, has been plagued with setbacks since joining the LA Galaxy in 2007. The latest misfortune comes just as he appears to be winning over fans disgruntled by his loans to AC Milan.

The England midfielder wore one regular shoe when he was seen out in Los Angeles and the other in a cast. Witnesses said he appeared to hobble as he walked to his car.

However, optimists noted that Beckham was carrying his children, suggesting that the boot – which looked more like a ski boot – was a preventive measure ahead of the Galaxy’s face-off with Real Salt Lake in the final of the MLS Cup on Sunday in Seattle.

The Galaxy are favourites to win. A victory would be their best result in the three seasons since Beckham showed up.

Martha Stewart had one thing in mind when she invited Kristen Stewart onto her homemaking show: Robert Pattinson.

Kristin said she soon realised Martha kept steering their chat back to her Twilight co-star and rumoured lover.

Martha, 68, admitted said she had a dream about Pattinson.

Kristen, 19, said: “All she wanted to do was talk about Rob! She told me she had a dream that she hung out with him. I was like, ‘That’s awesome!’ There was a whole pie segment and I assumed that’s what we were gonna talk about. And she was like, ‘You know, I’m such a fan and I had a dream about Robert the other night.’ I was like, ‘Dude, I should hook you guys up!’”

Sandra Bullock appeared at a special charity premiere in New Orleans for her latest movie The Blind Side.

The football-themed film premiered at an event that also raised money for a high school that was flooded during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Bullock said: “We’re investing in a lot of things that we think need preserving. It’s about people giving because they know it’s the right thing to do.”

Donations from the event were used for such items as band uniforms, scholarships and a health centre.

The Blind Side, based on a book by Michael Lewis, tells the story of Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher.

On the more “unhappy” relationship side of the news, Janet Jackson has recently confirmed her splitting up from Jermaine Dupri. This is what Janet Jackson said about her relationship with Jermaine Dupri: “I’m not the type of girl that stays in touch with your ex like that. But Jermaine is one of my best friends. I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.” There we go! Happy, happy, joy, joy, right? Well, for Janet Jackson anyway, Jermaine Dupri probably isn’t that excited about “just being friends”… no matter how close they are. Oh well, you win some, you lose many.

My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee is to make a return to TV in George Clooney’s TNT show Delta Blues.

The 39-year-old actor shot to fame as the lead role in the US sitcom and is making a comeback in the hour-long Delta Blues, which is from Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures and Warner Horizon.

The show centres around Dwight Hendricks, a Memphis police officer who lives with his mum and moonlights as an Elvis impersonator.

Lee is signed up to play Hendricks and TNT and TBS’s head of programming, Michael Wright, said: “[Lee is] the ideal choice to bring the compelling, off-kilter Dwight Hendricks to life.”

Hollywood actor Robert De Niro has revealed Angelina Jolie would be his dream co-star.

The 66-year-old actor told EXTRA that Jolie, 34, is one of the actors that he would most ‘love to work with’.

He added: “It depends on the project [who would be] at the top of my list… wonderful actresses.”

Jolie previously starred with De Niro in the 2006 movie The Good Shepherd.

He added that another actress on his list would be The Queen star Helen Mirren.

De Niro said that rapper 50 Cent would be someone he would like to work with off-screen.

He said: “We had some good conversations, and he’s a smart guy. He was very smart about what he was telling me.”

Actress Rachel Weisz has revealed that she is the happiest she has ever been since becoming a mum, and described motherhood as “just delicious”.

The 39-year-old Oscar-winner, who has a three-year-old son Henry Chance with her director fiancé Darren Aronofsky, said: “It’s amazing and I’ve never been happier in my life. Being a mum is just delicious, and Henry is so scrumptious I could just eat him up.”

The British actress, who plays a mother who falls apart after the murder of her daughter in new movie The Lovely Bones, said becoming a mother has made her more efficient.

She said: “I’m sure a lot of mums say this but, oddly enough, I find I can get a lot more done since I had Henry.

“You become better at managing your time. Suddenly, in 45 minutes, you can get twice as much done as you once did.”

But despite her joy at becoming a mum, Weisz confessed that the demands of being a mother have made her want to pull her hair out at times.

She said: “I think one of the things that mums aren’t allowed to talk about enough to one another… is the times when you’re pulling your hair out at home with the kids. Those moments when everything is crashing in and you just feel like you’re going to scream…”

She added: “Because, even though children are the most precious things in the world, they are also set to test us. I think women are already stretched and pressured to be perfect and it kind of drives me crazy.”

Shaquille O’Neal’s wife has filed for legal separation.

Shaunie’s move comes in the aftermath of a published report that claimed Shaquille had an affair with the fiancee of an NBA player.

The Florida-based couple have managed to overcome a separation in the past but Shaunie has now filed papers in Los Angeles.

Hollywood star Jessica Alba and hubby Cash Warren are reportedly planning a second baby.

Alba, 28, and hubby Warren, 30, have a 17-month-old daughter Honor and reports claim she could soon have a younger sibling.

An insider said to BettyConfidential: “Cash and Jess are in a great place. They’re feeling very settled and comfortable. Jessica has really put her foot down with a lot of Cash’s bad habits and he is OK with it.

“He enjoys the home life that Jess has created for him and Honor and he loves their little family. They feel like it’s about time they added a baby brother or sister for Honor and that’s their big step.”

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp will reportedly be paid $55m to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

Depp’s fee is reportedly more than double the amount usually paid to A-list stars such as Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Harrison Ford.

It is claimed that Disney executives believe the deal will save them money, as The Sweeney Todd star, 46, had originally wanted a percentage of the movie’s profits.

One Disney boss said: “These returns might seem like astronomical figures, but the recession has driven production costs up and profit margins down for everyone.”

He added: “Percentage deals are a thing of the past. They have proved to be so open-ended that, while talented actors have earned fortunes, studios can no longer afford such budget-busting agreements.”

The fourth movie, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is due to be released in the summer of 2011.

Winona Ryder and Natalie Portman will star in Darren Aronofsky’s supernatural thriller, Black Swan.

Ryder is expected to play the part of a dancer who is coming to the end of her career. Mila Kunis will also join the stunning star cast.

The dancers, including Portman and Kunis, are vying for Ryder’s part as Odette, the Swan Queen in the classic ballet, Swan Lake.

Portman and Kunis are set to participate in what one website called “some really, hot, angry sex”. Portman recently said the sex was not the raunchy kind but the “extreme” variety.

Ryder, 38, the beautiful actress whose career was derailed by a shoplifting conviction, appears to be making a tentative comeback having just starred in Rebecca Miller’s The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee.

Katie Price has reportedly agreed to appear on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here but will be paid a much higher fee than the other contestants.

The 31-year-old glamour model is reportedly being paid £350,000 and will appear much later in the show than the other contestants who are getting around £65,000 each.

A friend of one of the contestants said to UK newspaper The Sun: “This really is taking the Mick. We were pushing for more cash but were told things were tight this year. Now we know why.

“If ITV are looking for trouble in the jungle, they will certainly get it once she turns up.”

Katie, who has already appeared on the show in its 2004 series, is said to be breaking up the trip by flying to LA first to appear on a US show before making the final journey to Australia.

It seems Leona Lewis was very concerned about working with Justin Timberlake on her new release as she considered the singer to bee too handsome for her to handle. This is what Leona Lewis said on the matter: “He is a beautiful boy and I was a bit worried about whether it would cloud my judgment over whether the song was good or not. But as soon as I met him that was over. He is so cool, such a nice guy, and I think we have a lot in common as we are both quite focused people.” Right… the “that was over” expression really hits the spot. Justin Timberlake must be so proud of himself when he reads that… just imagine, a little time spent with him and Leona Lewis completely dropped the idea of his charms like a hot plate. After all… he is a beautiful boy. That must be a terrible insult, especially coming from a British person.

Drummer Jerry Fuchs passed away on Sunday morning after a tragic fall down an elevator shaft. The accident happened when the musician was attending a benefit to raise money for women in India. According to a Building Department spokesman, Jerry and his friend were in the elevator when it stopped on the fifth floor. Both men attempted the jump down but Jerry failed to make it due to a piece of clothing that got caught, “sending him swinging back into the crevice separating the elevator from the fifth floor.” The 34-year old was the beloved drummer for indie band such as !!!, The Juan MacLean, Maseratti, Vineland and Turing Machine. My condolences go out to the loved ones he left behind.

German authorities are on the hunt for a man who allegedly targeted supermodel Cindy Crawford in a bid to extort US$100,000 from her and her husband Rande Gerber.

A mug shot of the alleged extortionist wanted in Germany, Edis Kayalar, 26, was flashed around the world. He has recently been deported back to Germany from the US and believed to be in Stuttgart.

Kayalar allegedly used a photo of the couple’s daughter gagged and bound to a chair in shorts to blackmail them, authorities said. Crawford and Gerber have two children.

Kayalar has been charged and could face up to two years in prison. The photo was taken by the child’s nanny for a game of cops and robbers, an affadavit in the case stated.

The suspect is believed to have stolen the photo. He met with Gerber at a bar and showed it along with a chilling handwritten note that read: “The babysitter went crazy and tied everyone up and they need your help! Please.”

Gerber paid him US$1,000 in cash for the photo and “for his trouble”, the affidavit said. But Kayalar is accused of demanding more money for a copy of the photo.

“He believed he could have received US$500,000 from the tabloids for the photograph and that he deserved more money from them,” according to the affadavit.

Kayalar was however foiled by the FBI after he was deported on a separate immigration violation three months ago. He contacted Crawford and Gerber again on November 1 and

threatened to sell or release the photo to the media if the US$100,000 wasn’t met, the affidavit said.

Kayalar said he “was not trying to destroy a little girl’s life, but the release of the photograph was not going to be something positive for the victims’ image.”

Crawford’s spokeswoman stated: “Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.”
