Victoria Beckham, AKA Posh, debuted a new haircut at the Lakers game last night.

What do you think?

It’s pretty cute!

But why does her husband, David Beckham, look like wolverine?

Gisele Bündchen may only have one month to go before her due date to give birth, but that’s not stopping the supermodel from trying to finish the requirements for her pilot’s license.

“Gisele hasn’t finished her license yet, but she did pass her written exam,” says Keith Douglass, president of Shoreline Aviation, a company that provides private jets and aviation lessons. “Now, there’s one more step along the way, the practical exam [in the air], which is coming up in another week.”

Bündchen, 29, who is expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady, 32, “has been doing an excellent job,” Douglass adds. “She’s very dedicated. She flies at least three days a week. Flying a helicopter isn’t easy – it’s a handful, because you can’t stop flying and just cruise, but she’s doing great.”

Still, she has had one challenge so far: her growing baby bump. Keith admits that Bundchen’s growing baby bump (she’s 8 months pregnant) is a bit of hindrance, explaining, “She’s almost to a point where she’s too big to be flying. She needs to be able to move the rutter around and she’s getting there.”

But Douglass says that flying while pregnant isn’t unusual. “We have pilots that fly right up to the end. She doesn’t go very high, maybe 500 feet or 1,000 feet, which is nothing. She’s always close and can get down quickly if she needs to,” he says. “She’s feeling great and looking great!”

Funny man Russell Brand, 34, is ready for children. Wonder if his girlfriend, singer Katy Perry, 25, feels the same way!

Russell is known for having relations with LOTS of women, but insists that he is ready to settle down.

He says: “Katy’s lovely. I am living in a different way at the moment.

“Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years.

“I am ready for children actually. It’s been seven years since I took drugs. I’ve made a film. I don’t have to fight so much. I’ve grown weary of the carousel.”

The pair has been dating since September when they met at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Russell says he has “high expectations” of his girlfriends because of his upbringing.

“I’m an only child of a single mother — it probably meant that I’m demanding and have high expectations of women.

“I look for salvation and redemption, to be utterly embraced. It’s a ridiculous, romantic and tragic idea that there’s someone who’s going to save you, that we need our own personal Jesus. Salvation comes from within.”

Ashlee Simpson showed a cheerful disposition as she was spotted leaving a house in Studio City.

Simpson just learned the news that she’s been let go from the CW’s “Melrose Place” series.

A source says: “Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed. She invested her heart and soul into the job. She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her.”

Meanwhile, producers of the show have released statements saying that Miss Simpson knew her character would have a short-term role on the series.

In even juicier gossip, reports are saying that Heather Locklear, who famously starred as icy PR vixen Amanda Woodward on the original Melrose Place in the 1990s, got into the mother of all catfights with Ashlee on the set as a rivalry ensued over who would be the show’s official Queen Bee.

While producers insist Ashlee’s departure is storyline-dictated, production insiders say the 25-year-old wife and mother was railroaded by an envious Heather, who was gunning for Ashlee from the moment she arrived on set for an “Amanda Returns” guest arc airing next month.

“Heather was jealous of Ashlee immediately,” says an insider. “She knew Ashlee was one of the bigger names on set, and she wanted her gone so she could make it her show. Heather is very politcial and calculating…”

On Oct. 22, The CW abruptly announced that Ashlee along with co-star Colin Egglesfield had been booted from the show. Producers are hoping Heather’s familiar face will be a show-saving draw for the critically-panned and ratings-challenged Melrose 2.0.

Informants say that’s precisely why bosses had no problem ditching Ashlee — who will exit her role as Violet Foster — after 48-year-old Heather complained Ashlee been poking fun of her age to other members of the cast and crew.

Now that her sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has been canned on Melrose Place, Jessica Simpson says she isn’t a fan of the CW soap.

The singer, 29, used to promote her sister’s former show regularly on her Twitter (”Everyone watch my sis on melrose place tonight,” she wrote Oct. 20).

But on Sunday, she changed her tune drastically. Jessica wrote: “CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with,but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press.”

Actually, insiders are saying that the producers don’t think Ashlee is a very good actress!

Ashlee, a veteran of TV’s 7th Heaven, was canned because producers thought she couldn’t act.

“They hired her because they needed a good name to help create buzz,” a set insider says. “But she was embarrassingly bad. Producers cut her down as much as possible.”

Seconds another source: “She’s the worst actress, but nobody will tell her.”

So what’s next for Ashlee?

Possibly more acting.

The mom of 11-month-old Bronx (dad is rocker Pete Wentz, 30) doesn’t want to return to her songstress roots. “She’s reading scripts. Acting is her focus now,” a source says. “If she had an album, she’d have to tour and be away from Bronx. She wants consistency.”

Tom Cruise, 47, and Katie Holmes, 30, were spotted taking a walk in Boston, Massachusetts yesterday looking happy together as they shared a romantic walk. The couple is in Boston while Tom films a movie with Cameron Diaz. Holmes will be working again soon though.

Katie has just signed on to replace Liv Tyler as the female lead in the upcoming adaptation of Galt Niederhoffer novel “The Romantics.”

Ms. Holmes joins an already-stellar cast including Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, and Adam Brody. Holmes will also be an executive producer of the project. The movie is about eight friends who reunite for a wedding of two buddies as tension unfolds between the bride and maid of honor over the groom.

The movie starts filming this week in New York. Katie, 30, will play Laura, the maid of honor to Anna Paquin’s Lila, who’s the bride.

Laura and Lila are best friends who both have a past with the groom played by Transformers hunk Josh.

It’s another boy for Colin Farrell!

Farrell, 33, and actress Alicja Bachleda, 26, welcomed son Henry Tadeusz Farrell on Oct. 7. The couple met while filming “Ondine.”

Farrell has a 6-year-old son, James Padraig Farrell, with model Kim Bordenave.

When he confirmed the pregnancy in September, Farrell said he was looking forward to “everything” about parenthood. “I will take it as it comes. Even changing dirty diapers.”

Fans can next see Farrell on the big screen in the film “Crazy Heart,” directed by Scott Cooper.

Set for release in 2010, Farrell plays Tommy Sweet, an alcoholic country music singer trying to get his life back on track.

Elton John has postponed some concerts and checked himself into a London hospital for treatment of an E. coli bacterial infection and the flu.

John, 62, was resting last night in King Edward VII Hospital, with his partner, David Furnish, by his side.

“He has got an infection, flu and everything that goes with it,” a representative said. “He’s OK. He’s fine.”

Cities where shows have been postponed include Dublin, Liverpool, London, Newcastle and Sheffield as well as Portland, Ore., and Seattle. John intends to rejoin the “Face2Face” tour later in the month when he and Billy Joel play concerts in northern California.

Mel Gibson’s fiancé Oksana Grigorieva has given birth to their baby.

The couple now has a healthy baby girl. However, this is baby number eight for Mel!

Oksana gave birth on Friday, a few weeks early, but everything went well and mom and daughter are doing just fine. In fact, mom and the baby are already home.

Mel’s affair with Oksana came to light earlier this year after a series of photos of the cozy couple in Costa Rica surfaced.

Mel’s wife Robyn filed for divorce in April, 2009, shortly after the photos were made public and Mel admitted he was romantically involved with Oksana. And once his girlfriend turned up pregnant, Mel gave her an engagement ring. He has not announced a wedding date. Mel and Robyn were married 29 years; their marital assets are estimated at $900 million. Mel has six sons and one daughter with Robyn.

Dakota Fanning is used to going to movie premieres and events but she is trying to lead a normal life as well by going to a regular high school. The 15 year old attends Campbell Hall Episcopal School in North Hollywood.

Dakota is a cheerleader and was just named her school’s Homecoming Queen.

Fanning not only stars in Twilight’s New Moon and Eclipse, but she teamed up with Kristen Stewart for the biopic, The Runaways.

Jessica Simpson, 29, knows what qualities she is looking for in a man.

“I definitely love a spiritual man — somebody that is going to always inspire me.”

“I don’t want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men … people that will always keep me intrigued.”

“And, you know, I love artistic men — somebody that really understands their art.”

“I like a confident man.”

Besides the confident part, do any of those qualities sound like her most recent boyfriend, Tony Romo? Yeah, we didn’t think so either.

She may have a laid-back, girl-next-door persona onscreen, but Sandra Bullock, 45, calls herself “controlling,” “difficult on every level,” and “not easy to deal with” in a new interview with Parade. “I want everything orderly and I need lists . . . I’m aware that I can be annoying.”

And this controlling nature manifests itself in one of her favorite, er, hobbies:

“I like to iron,” explains Bullock. “Ironing is comfort. It’s control. I’m a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place.”

Bullock, who labels herself “a big ball of high energy and organization and structure” never had marriage in her master plan — until she met her husband, TLC’s Motorcyle Mania host Jesse James, 40, whom she met at his bike shop to introduce him to her godson.

Immediately, she says, “Jesse tracked me down. I had no intention of going out with him. I said no for a month.”

Of her three stepchildren with James, she coos “I seemed to have stepped in right when I needed to be there . . . If you don’t have kids and animals, you don’t truly know what real life is about.”

Bullock married James in 2005.
