Victoria Beckham to strip for £12 million

Former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham will strip for a high profile ad campaign for Giorgio Armani for a 12 million pound deal - she will feature in her underwear in the advertisement and her hubby can't wait to see the first shots.

Her husband, football star David Beckham, had months back posed for the same range and that time Victoria was quite proud of the ad.

A close friend of the singer said: "Victoria adored David's underwear campaign, not least because it was quite raunchy. She always used to laugh with her girlie pals about David's bulging packet on bill-boards and how proud she was. So she just jumped at the chance to follow suit and be involved in a similar campaign - and it will probably be just as sexy. David can't wait to see the first shots of his wife in her undies."

Another source close to her added: "Victoria is very much aware there is a limited shelf life for any woman as to how long they can model, let alone model underwear. She is over the moon and extremely flattered to be the face and body of such a high-profile advertising campaign."

Shakira: I’m pregnant with my album

Shakira revealed that she is, in fact, expecting. But it’s not what you may think.

“I’m quite pregnant with my album,” the Colombian pop star told a reporter by phone — between laughs — when asked whether her foundation work on behalf of Latin American children has made her want to become a mother.

“Yes, I have plans, but not yet,” said Shakira, 31. “I’m pregnant with my songs. But someday, yes.”

The singer-activist plans to ask about 20 Latin American presidents at a regional summit in El Salvador on Thursday to direct more resources to poor children and to put early childhood development at the top of their agendas. She will appear on behalf of ALAS (Latin America in Solidarity Action) Foundation, a nonprofit coalition she helped create.

Asked whether she plans to write a song about ALAS, translated as ‘Wings’ in Spanish, the Grammy winner and United Nations goodwill ambassador said it’s out of her hands.

“I can’t control my muses,” she said.
