Victoria Beckham’s Slice of Victorian Life
Victoria Beckham’s Slice of Victorian Life
Enjoying her stay back in London, Victoria Beckham popped out on Friday to do a little shopping and visit a few of her local favorites.
Housed in what was once London’s biggest 19th century charity school, Posh made sure to stop by the family-friendly Ragged School museum for a slice of Victorian life.
Carrying a few shopping bags of her own clothing line, Victoria enjoyed the museum’s offerings of roleplay, hands-on exhibits and talks - all providing insight into the experience of the poor of the East End a century ago.
In related news, the owner of the Los Angeles-based Kitson stores, Fraser Ross, has been complaining about the 33-year-old Spice Girl’s unwillingness to make an appearance at his shops.
“There has to be more support for their retailers. The celebrity has to be 100 percent involved with their own line and they have to be willing to support the retailers who are selling it. Having a clothing line should be treated by them as no different than selling an album or promoting a movie,” Ross told.
“I’m fighting right now with Victoria Beckham’s people because she lives here in L.A., we sell her line and she won’t come in here to do an appearance. We have customers asking if she will come in and what am I supposed to tell them? She lives here, she really should come out and support her fans, the people buying her jeans.”
Posh has, however, recently participated in a multicity tour with Saks Fifth Avenue to promote her fashionable creations.
Deadwood’s Molly Parker Has a Boy
Deadwood actress Molly Parker and her husband, Matt Bissonnette, have welcomed their first child, son William Strummer Bissonnette, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
William, who was born last Friday in Los Angeles, weighed in at 8 lbs. and 12 oz.
“Both mother and son are doing well,” Parker’s publicist tells PEOPLE.
Parker, 34, plays Deadwood’s Alma Garret, a New York society woman who reinvents herself in a 19th-century South Dakota town. Recently she co-starred with Ben Affleck and Diane Lane in Hollywoodland.
Up next for the actress: her husband directs her in the upcoming drama, Who Loves the Sun.
Crystal Skull Stolen in California
A large crystal skull, the real life basis for the upcoming Indiana Jones film, was stolen from a Southern California-based New Age store. The 500-year-old skull was on loan at Kindred Spirits in Claremont for about the last four months before it went missing about two weeks ago. Hundreds of crystal skulls are believed to be in existence, most of which experts dismiss as fakes made by antiquities traders in the 19th century.
The shop owner believes the attention from the upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull prompted the theft. If movies have taught me anything, I suspect either the evil Russian Soviets or a guy with a fedora hat and leather whip is likely involved.
