Victoria Beckham being put off life in LA by earthquakes

Victoria Beckham has reportedly been so shaken up by the recent spate of small earthquakes in Los Angeles that she’s signed her family up for lessons on how to deal with the big one - and contemplating leaving her beloved California.

The family live near the Newport-Inglewood Fault, which was the site of a earthquake registering 4.7 on the Richter scale on 17th May, and according to the Mail on Sunday, after that quake and a rubble in nearby Westlake Village at the start of the month, Victoria is starting to realise the downsides of life in LA.

A source told the newspaper: “Victoria and the boys had a lesson in a simulator when she moved to LA, but she didn’t realise the tremors would be so regular.

“She’s now asked David to come back from Italy and take another class with her.

“She’s definitely having second thoughts about staying there long-term.”

Megan Fox: I’d rather be seen as wild than as a goody-goody

Megan Fox has said she doesn’t mind that people incorrectly think she’s a wild child.

The Transformers star has been in an on-off relationship with Brian Austin Green for over four years but after speaking confidently about her sexuality and taking part in sexy photoshoots, she told GQ magazine that people make assumptions about her: “I have this sort of promiscuous image.

“People assume I’m really overtly sexually aggressive and that I’m this wild child. And I’m not like that at all.”

But she added: “I would rather have an image that is wild and promiscuous than to go out of my way to be proper all the time.

Megan Fox: actors are like prostitutes

Megan Fox has said that being an actress makes her feel like a prostitute.

The Transformers star told GQ magazine: “When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes.

“We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who’s not their partner.

“It’s really kind of gross.”

Jack Tweed visits Jade Goody’s grave after being released from jail

Jack Tweed has visited his late wife Jade Goody’s grave twice since being released from prison on Thursday.

Jack was sentenced to 12 weeks in jail the week after Jade’s funeral at the start of April. He was released this week after serving half the sentence, which he received after being found guilty of assaulting a taxi driver.

The 21 year old was spotted visiting the memorial on Friday and again yesterday, with a camera crew accompanying him, filming for an MTV documentary about the aftermath of reality star Jade’s death.

Jack’s mum Mary told reporters: “I go to bed thinking of Jade and wake up thinking of her, so I can’t begin to think what goes through his mind.

“It’s hard for him. He is still grieving badly. He needs time alone really, but I don’t think he is going to get it.”

Yesterday Jack was spotted shopping for presents for Jade’s sons Bobby and Freddie at a nearby Toys R Us. He told the Sunday Mirror: “The thought of seeing the boys kept me going while I was inside. I can’t wait to see them. I’m so glad to be out.”

He is expected to see the boys for the first time in nearly six weeks today - ahead of a ‘welcome home’ party called ‘Jack Tweed’s Relaunch Party’ at a local nightclub organised by his friends.

Jade’s publicist Max Clifford has said he’s worried about Jack’s return to the Essex party circuit: “I am worried about him becoming a target for any young girl who wants to become famous.

“Jade asked me before she died to keep an eye on Jack. He has promised me that he will avoid trouble. I am hoping he keeps to that.”

Danielle Lloyd: I thought I’d die in nightclub attack

Danielle Lloyd has revealed she was worried she’d bleed to death on the street after her nightclub attack this week.

According to reports, the WAG was thrown back onto a table of glasses and bottles after a row with two other clubgoers. She received deep cuts on her back and leg, and needed emergency surgery to limit the damage.

She told the News of the World that it had started as a pleasant night out with boyfriend, Spurs player Jamie O’Hara: “We’d been to a lovely wedding, one of Jamie’s relatives. And then we enjoyed a fantastic family meal at Zuma restaurant in Knightsbridge.

“Jamie had booked a table at Crystal nightclub specially and six of us went on there together. I never imagined it could ever end up like it did.”

Danielle can’t talk about the specifics of the incident itself for legal reasons but said: “The last thing I remember is seeing some girls’ faces right in my face as I passed out.

“After that I just recall snapshots of what was absolutely the worst night of my life. I can remember being laid out on a sofa inside the club, seeing a lot of blood and then screaming hysterically.

“There was blood everywhere - all over me, all over the floor, all over Jamie, all over everyone round me. And I was just so scared because I knew it was all MY blood.”

Photos: Katie Price barely eating since Peter Andre split

Katie Price made her first public appearance yesterday since her separation from Peter Andre was announced three weeks ago.

The glamour model also known as Jordan initially fled to the Maldives when the news was announced earlier this month and since returning to the UK last week, he has been concentrating on caring for the couple’s three children. But yesterday, she stepped out for a catwalk show at the Clothes Show London event.

Katie wore several outrageous outfits for the show but also debuted new items in her more practical range for horseriders, KP Equestrian. (Photos of her entrance and catwalk posing are below.)

While some of Katie’s friends were keen to see the star back in business after her heartbreak, the event caused anxiety for others.

One friend told the Sunday Mirror: “Despite what people see while Katie is out, behind closed doors it is very different. She thinks she’s been portrayed as the bad guy in her split from Pete and the pressure of this enormous backlash has really taken its toll.

“She’s barely eating and reckons she’s lost around 12lb in a relatively short space of time. For someone of her slight build, is very noticeable.

“The stress of an impending divorce has given her sleepless nights and she has several work commitments to fulfil.

“Katie doesn’t know who she can trust and feels she is public enemy number one. Behind the public bravado, she’s in bits - both physically and mentally.”
