Pitter Patter: David & Victoria Beckham Welcome A Baby Girl

I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven  Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a  baby sister xx.

Since we’ve been waiting for news on this matter with almost as much excitement as the proud pappy, it fills us with overwhelming joy to kick off our week with the news that Harper Seven Beckham has been born. Contrary to reports that the Beckhams’ fourth baby was due on the same date as the American Independence Day holiday, the latest Beckham bubba made her debut on 10th July and her parents very kindly saved us the trouble of speculating wildly about what her name might be by announcing it promptly.

We can now direct all of our energy towards bickering about its origins. Suggestions from the Kickette staff to date include homages to Harper Lee, whose 1960 novel ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ is sure to be a family favourite, Seinfeld’s George Costanza, Saved By The Bell’s Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Erykah Badu.

We believe it only appropriate that you have your opportunity to throw your suggestions into the ring. You do that while we start jonesing for photos.

David Beckham & Zara Phillips: Magic, Though Mute

David Beckham & Zara Phillips’ campaign to bring the magic of the World Cup to London’s 2012 Olympics was the target of a protest yesterday, when a gang of tinnitus deranged football fans drove over the honorary golden vuvuzela. Seems they made the best of it though, no? Image: Getty Images/Zimbio

Romeo Beckham: Crazy For Cotton Candy

Does RB’s side-eye sneakery indicate a hope we won’t notice that the need for cotton candy surpassed any requirement for putting one’s clothing on correctly or combing one’s hair this morning? He needn’t have worried. His parentage and usually spot-on fash nous means he earns a bye into the next round. Well, that and the fact that we struggle to dress ourselves in the face of sweetie treats too. Num!

Good Week/Bad Week: Guitars & Last Games

Not an entirely wasted week for the Beckham babes either. Mommy tweeted an image of three guitars that Justin Bieber had signed and sent over for Cruz, Romeo and Brooklyn, all of whom are reportedly big fans of the Canadian pop hamster. Image via yfrog

GOOD WEEK

Glam Fairies: Congrats to Victoria Beckham and her team, who picked up the Accessory Designer of the Year gong at the Glamour Awards in London this week. Mrs B popped up via video link to accept her award rather than attending in person, presumably as she had no immediate requirement for the bottle of fake tan she was reportedly given as part of her prize. Kickette fave Jess Ennis picked up Sportswoman of the Year, just soes ya knoes.
