Posh Digs Cigars


Victoria Beckham is addicted to cigars.

The former Spice Girl and mother-of-three has reportedly become a regular shopper at London's exclusive tobacconist, Davidoff. Pals of the star originally thought recent photos of her puffing on a cigar while partying on a yacht was a one-off to celebrate clinching a deal with fashion designer, Roberto Cavalli, but now believe she is hooked on the tobacco.

A source said: "The pictures threw everybody. They just assumed the cigar was purely for the cameras - but it seems she actually loves them." The Beckhams' ex-nanny, Abigail Gibson, revealed Victoria smoked cigars to help her lose weight after having third son Cruz in February. The star is said to love their rich aroma and exotic taste and the Beckhams are planning to add a cigar cabinet to their Madrid home.

Wilson Under Fire


The state attorney general of Tennessee wants the country singer who made the song "Redneck Woman" a hit to stop "glamorizing" the use of smokeless tobacco at her concerts.

State officials said Gretchen Wilson can be seen on concert jumbo screens pulling a can of Skoal from her pocket while performing her new song, "Skoal Ring." That may violate the 1998 settlement between states and tobacco companies forbidding tobacco ads targeting young people, Attorney General Paul Summers said.

"Many young people attend your concerts and purchase your music and T-shirts," Summers wrote in a letter he sent to Wilson Thursday. "Because your actions strongly influence the youth in your audience ... I ask you to take steps to warn young people of negative health effects of smokeless tobacco use."

Calls to Wilson's representatives at her music label Sony Music Nashville were not immediately returned Thursday. Wilson won wide acclaim and a Grammy with her debut single "Redneck Woman."

The title of her song "Skoal Ring" refers to the wear mark left by carrying a can of smoking tobacco in a pocket of blue jeans. In the final verse of the song, Wilson sings that she gets turned on by the taste of smokeless tobacco on her man's lips.

Jessica As Juliet?


Jessica Simpson is desperate to hone her acting skills on the London stage - but will consider nothing less than a role in a Shakespeare play.

The 25-year-old star now considers herself a seasoned actress and is convinced a classic production would finally eradicate her dumb blonde image. Simpson says, "When I arrived in England the first thing I did was go straight to the Globe Theatre.

"For me that is the home of acting and writing. "I have always loved Shakespeare. That's the job I want - anything at the Globe."

--Right on. She's already pondered the great philosophical questions, such as "Is this chicken what I have here, or is this fish?" Why not tackle, "To be or not to be?"

The Crue and Sgt. Pepper


The Crue searches for its Sgt. Pepper:

Mark Mick Mars' words: There will be another Mötley Crüe record — and oh yes, it will be "something really outstanding."

But first, the Crüe's got some touring to do — eight months' worth. Once the reunited band has been around the world and back, that's when Mars, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil plan to cut the Crüe's next outing, the follow-up to 2000's New Tattoo.

"There is a new album in the works, but we're taking our time on it," Mars said. "For me, I would like to see like a Sgt. Pepper, an Electric Ladyland, something really outstanding and new. I have a zillion ideas and I'm sure Nikki and Tommy and Vince do, as well. We just haven't sat down and started working together yet, because the tour's been so extensive."

The only thing worse than Ryan Seacrest's clothing line could be this:

Justin Timberlake is launching his own clothing label.

He has teamed up with best friend Trace Ayala to create a range of clothes.

The line will be called William Rast - after their grandfathers reports ITV.com

Justin added: "We just kind of picked the two people who are most influential in our lives, and that's our grandfathers. William is my grandfather's first name and Rast is Trace's grandfather's last name." The clothes will initially only be available in Bloomingdales in New York.

Gearing Up For the Open


The Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, are as aggressive in marketing at the U.S. Open as they are on the court.

Today, Serena will play with doubles twins Mike and Bob Bryan on a specially installed court on the roof of Manhattan Land Rover and then test-drive one of their 2006 models. Tomorrow, Venus will challenge all comers to serve an ace against her in Pershing Square just south of Grand Central. For every ace, American Express will donate $1,000 to the "Aces for Kids" program.

Before the first match on Monday, Serena will show what the word "freebie" means to new imports Ana Ivanovic of Serbia and Tatiana Golvin of France, when they get pampered with Stila cosmetics in a suite at the Parker Meridien. They'll also haul away $1,000 goody bags.

Baby Phat to Take Over RCMH


Never one to be press shy or anything less than ostentatious, Kimora Lee Simmons will mark a milestone when she presents her spring Baby Phat collection in New York on September 10 at 9pm. Her show will take place at New YorkÂ’s Radio City Music Hall, making her the first designer to stage a fashion show at the legendary space.

“Not only are we making fashion history, but this way everyone invited will be able to get in and, more importantly, get a seat,” noted BJ Coleman, the PR director for Baby Phat. “There will be no standing.” The approximate 3,000 seat capacity venue will hopefully fit the bill this time around, and do away with the drama many editors—including a very public André Leon Talley—experienced at Sky Studios last season when they could not get in. Coleman went on to say that having the show at Radio City was the right synergy, as Kimora was inspired by Hollywood glamour for her spring collection. “This event really represents all that is glamorous,” he noted. “It’s meant to have a real red carpet feel.”

As part of a special promotion leading up to the fashion show, Baby Phat will be staging a special incentive program at its Prince Street store in Soho, whereby a certain number of consumers—to be decided by Baby Phat—will be offered the opportunity to attend the fashion show with each $250 or more retail purchase.

--She annoys me to no end.

TomKat Update


Because it's been awhile since I gave you a TomKat update:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly planning an extravagant Arabian Knights wedding.

Insiders claim the smitten couple are set to marry at Mexico's luxury Maroma resort, after Tom saw a wedding there earlier this year. The Hollywood actor has reportedly told wedding planner Kevin Lemon to create "the event of the decade."

The wedding that made Tom fall in love with the resort took place in May, and featured a romantic beach ceremony followed by a candlelit procession to the castle for the reception. A source revealed to Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Tom was really impressed by what he saw. That's when he got his people to call Kevin Lemon and they said, 'Can you make it identical but with millions of flowers?'"
