Victoria Beckham looks a little deflated as she treats her sons to frozen yoghurt

By LIZ THOMAS

Disappearing cleavage: Victoria Beckham put her 34B bust on show in Los Angeles yesterday and right, the star flaunting her 34DDs in 2007


As Victoria Beckham may know, life has its ups and downs. So, it seems, does her cleavage.

As she collected her two younger sons from school, the mother of three looked less upfront than usual.

In fact she appeared positively demure, despite wearing a rather revealing vest top.

Mrs Beckham, who once delighted in showing off her 34DD surgically enhanced bust, has rather less to show off these days.

Thanks to a breast reduction operation last year, she is now said to be a 34B - which is far less footballer's wife and more elegant fashion designer - her latest incarnation.

She has previously spoken of hating photographs of herself in her buxom phase.
Mrs Beckham, who in her early Spice Girl days was a 34A, is believed to have had her first breast operation in 1999.

There were reports that she had her bust-size increased again in 2001 but in a BBC interview in 2003, declared: 'I'm completely natural.'

In 2005, however, court papers relating to a libel claim against a newspaper revealed she had 'undergone breast enhancement surgery'.

In a magazine interview in 2008, she admitted: 'I've worn so many dresses in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again.'

In contrast, it was a very casual look for Posh yesterday, and she even traded in her high heels for a sensible pair of flip flops.


Snack stop: Victoria looked casual after she brought sons Romeo (front left) and Cruz (front right) to a frozen yoghurt parlour in Los Angeles


After picking up Romeo, seven, and Cruz, four, from their private primary school, the 35-year-old made a pitstop at a branch of Yogurtland on Van Nuys Boulevard before heading back to their $22million Beverly Hills mansion.

Meanwhile, Posh will nervously be watching her debut on American Idol on U.S. TV tonight.

Beckham filmed several auditions as a guest judge on the TV talent show last August, which will finally be screened tonight when the ninth series begins.


Pneumatic no more: The former Spice Girl has transformed her over-the-top WAG image


The fashion designer joined Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi on the judging panel.

Not renowned for her strong vocal skills, Beckham said she didn't judge wannabe singing stars too harshly.

She said: 'I was really, really nervous. I didn't want to trample on anybody's dreams. I'm very much a positive person and I believe in positive energy.

'I can find something nice to say about most people. Even if they're completely useless they may have a nice pair of shoes on.'

'I think sometimes Simon thought I was too nice. They're gonna find out they're pretty c**p soon enough. They don't need me adding to that.'

Posh's bust through the ages:

Adam Lambert's 'Whataya Want From Me' Video to Premiere Jan 15

VH1 is going to debut the music video for Adam Lambert's second single 'Whataya Want From Me' this coming Friday, January 15.

Adam Lambert recently tweeted about the premiere date of his upcoming "Whataya Want From Me" music video. " 'Whataya Want From Me' music video set to premiere between 6am-10am on Friday [January 15] morning on VH1," he wrote.

Adam filmed the video back in December 2009. It reportedly will feature the "American Idol" alum when he is being followed by paparazzi and his fans. One of the extras, an aspiring actress named Julianna Milton, will play a female fan who is too young to get into the club.

"Whataya Want From Me" is the second single from Adam Lambert's debut album "For Your Entertainment". A follow-up to the title track, the song started to get heavy promotion and was performed by Adam during his appearances on major events and TV shows right after his controversial American Music Awards performance.

Ke$ha Predicted to Triumph Over Susan Boyle on Hot 200

The 'Tik Tok' singer may pull in 150,000 copies in the opening week sale of her first album 'Animal', forcing Susan Boyle to fall from the No. 1 spot of the U.S. albums chart.

Next week, Billboard Hot 200 may have a new champion, Ke$ha. The "Tik Tok" hitmaker is predicted to rule the U.S. albums chart with her debut album "Animal" which is estimated to sell around 150,000 copies.

It means that Ke$ha could end Susan Boyle's six-week reign on the chart. However, music fans have to stay tune until Wednesday, January 13 to find out the final Nielsen SoundScan numbers, as reflected in the Billboard 200 album chart.

When commenting on the prospect of her pushing aside Susan from the top spot of Hot 200, Ke$ha recently told PopEater, "She got to kick it at the top for a while, so I don't feel too bad." If the prediction comes true, she said about going to New York for a celebration. "I'm going to round up my band of trannies and we're going to march down Broadway with fireworks," she shared.

In addition, Ke$ha also commented on her being compared to Lady GaGa. "Any time you want to compare me to a successful woman, I'll totally take that. It's a good thing. I like to think of myself more aligned with the likes of Madonna meets David Bowie meets the Beastie Boys. And I loooove Blondie," she said.

On another occasion, Ke$ha opened up about writing song for Rihanna. "I just wrote a song for Rihanna," she stated, hoping the track will make it into her next album.

Sony Scraps 'Spider-Man 4', to Make Reboot Without Tobey Maguire

The studio is parting ways with director Sam Raimi to make a reboot of its 'Spider-Man' film franchise, which will focus on a high-school-age Peter Parker.

Following problems on the script of "Spider-Man 4", Sony Pictures has scrapped the upcoming project. The studio is now planning to make a reboot of its "Spider-Man" film franchise, which will follow Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker during his high school age.

Sam Raimi will not also direct the "Spider-Man" reboot, which will be produced by Columbia, Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin.

"We're very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots," Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony PicturesEntertainment said on Monday, January 11. The studio additionally announced that the movie is slated to be released in summer 2012.

"Working on the 'Spider-Man' movies was the experience of a lifetime for me," Raimi said in a statement. "While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job."

Previously, Sony Pictures had postponed the production of "Spider-Man 4" due to unfinished script. The studio and Sam Raimi reportedly could not agree upon a villain.

And Jay-Z has his eye on launching current judge and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole's career in the U.S.

He adds, "I keep a close eye on the music industry throughout the world and I know how hot Cheryl is in the U.K. The U.S. market is the toughest one to break into, but once you do it is by far the most lucrative. I think Cheryl has that talent to do it."

"There is nobody in the U.S. like her right now, and I would be very interested in helping her break the U.S. market this year. Bey has seen her perform and she told me how impressed she was. I checked her out and I was impressed as well."
