Like Father like Son
Romeo Beckham Shows Off His New Tattoo

Romeo James appears to be following in his father David Beckham‘s love of tattoos footsteps. As we all know, Becks is very fond of gettin’ new tattoos … it would seen that his middle son Romeo likes getting new tattoos, too:

With both their father and mother covered in tattoos, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the three Beckham boys followed suit. But at just seven years old, Romeo might have been expected to wait a while longer. David and Victoria’s middle son proudly showed off his new marking on an after-school trip to buy frozen yoghurt with his mother and maternal grandparents yesterday. Of course the indistinct design indicates that the tattoo is a temporary version, easily removed with soap and water and a lot of scrubbing. But his appreciation of tattoos – even the fake kind – might be a bit of a worry, and will surely see him follow in his father’s heavily tattooed footsteps. Footballer David has already admitted that his sons are keen to be inked. ‘One of them said to me recently: “How old do I have to be before I get a my first tattoo.”,’ he revealed. ‘I was like “A lot older than you are now.”‘ David himself has 20 separate pieces of body art, and is said to be keen to completely cover his arms in tattoo ‘sleeves’. The football ace – who is currently on load to AC Milan – was said to have been inspired by Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller’s character, fugitive Michael Scofield.

I have no doubt that Becks‘s sons idolize him, as most sons do of their fathers, so to think that they would love to follow his example seems completely natural. I fully expect at least one of his sons to try their hand at professional soccer and one or more of them to get tattooed at their first opportunity. These little guys are growing up so fast … it won’t be long until we are hearing reports of real tattoos for the Beckham boys.

‘Sex And The City 3’ To Begin Filming Soon

The sequel film Sex and the City 2 may have just finished filming and is due for release in theaters in about 3 months but plans are reportedly already in the works for filming to begin on Sex and the City 3. Because the principal stars — Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis — aren’t getting any younger, it is being reported that producers want to get the third movie filmed before the ladies get any older-looking:

The four stars of Sex And The City will shoot a third film before they get too old- according to reports. Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis recently wrapped finishing filming on the first sequel to the hit New York set movie. And a source told The Sun they’re not done yet: “There is also a third movie on the go… It makes sense to film the second and third movies back to back. “The characters will look a lot younger on screen when the third movie is out in couple of years. They’re keen to look as young as possible because that movie will be their last.” Sex And The City 2 is currently scheduled for release this May.

GAHHH! I mean, if these rumors are true, it’s great news that we’ll deffo be getting SaTC 3 … but it’s bummer news that the third sequel film may be the last. It makes sense that they would want to make 3 films altogether but I’m not too keen on a total, absolute end of the Sex and the City franchise. I guess we should wait to hear more, from someone in an official capacity, but all of this totally makes sense. What do y’all think … does this sound like a plausible way to really send the Sex and the City franchise?

Princely duty
Prince Michael & Paris Michael Jackson To Appear At The 2010 Grammy Awards

The late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, will be honored at the Grammy Awards this Sunday night with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and it has been announced that his eldest children (with mother Debbie Rowe), Prince Michael Joseph and Paris Michael Katherine, will appear on stage to accept the award on his behalf:

Michael Jackson’s two eldest children are scheduled to take the stage this weekend to accept the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their father, Jackson family sources said. It would be the first public appearance for Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, since their dramatic appearance at the memorial service 12 days after their father’s death. “The whole world is waiting to see these children blossom,” said Brian Oxman, a lawyer for Joe Jackson. Two sources close to the family said the youngest, 7-year-old Blanket, was not expected to appear, although they suggested that might change. Contrary to some media reports, the sources said there was no plan for the children to sing or dance at the show. The Recording Academy, which presents the Grammy Awards, will honor the late pop star with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Special Merit Awards ceremony Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Video of the presentation is likely to be included in Sunday night’s musical tribute to Jackson during the Grammy telecast, the sources said. While Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, is expected to attend, Joe Jackson, his father, decided not to go because of his anger over the behind-the-scenes talks that led to the agreement to have the children accept the award, family sources said. The decision came just this week, after Katherine Jackson, the legal guardian of the children, complained to Grammy producers that no family members had been invited, the Jackson sources said. Two sources in the family said that she was initially told by producers that the estate’s special administrators would decide who would take part in the Jackson tribute. “Can you believe this crap?” one source quoted Joe Jackson as saying when he heard that. The Grammy producers have not responded to a CNN request for comment. A spokesman for the estate administrators said the matter was for Grammy producers to decide.

Aww … poor Blanket. I’m guessing that he’ll be there with his older siblings, too. While I think this is a great opportunity for MJ‘s children to step in on his behalf, you know that Grammy producers just want those kids on stage to attract higher ratings for the show (Oh, and Joe Jackson is an ass). Remember, there will be a tribute portion of the show devoted to Jackson that will be broadcast on TV in 3D. I understand that Target is giving away free 3D glasses for the event. The Grammy Awards air LIVE this Sunday night.

2nd arrest in 1 month, 3rd arrest in 1 year
Michael Lohan Busted, Yet Again!!!

The long arm of the law has reached out and embraced Michael Lohan again, for the second time in about a month and for the third time in under a year. In April of 2009, Lohan was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill his then fiancée Erin Mueller and then in December of 2009 he was arrested, again, for violating a restraining order placed on him by Mueller. Today we learn that Daddy Lohan clearly hasn’t learned his lesson because he violated that same restraining order again by calling ex-fiancée Erin Mueller … so he was arrested, yet again:

Michael Lohan was arrested again today after another incident involving his ex girlfriend Erin Muller — and once again, the phone is the central issue. According to Erin’s attorney Bryan Konoski, Lindsay Lohan’s father allegedly called Erin at work on January 21 — a violation of Erin’s restraining order against him. Nassau County Police Department tells TMZ Michael was arrested today and booked for criminal contempt. If this sounds familiar … Michael was arrested back in December for the exact same thing. Mike is due in court on February 25.

Idiot. He *must* like being arrested because I can’t think of any other reason why he could continue to call someone who obviously wants nothing to do with him (join the club, Erin) in violation of a restraining order. In my eyes, this is great news … the more time Lohan spends behind bars the less time he has to be free to spread his douchebaggery on the unsuspecting public. It’s a shame he can’t be locked up and totally forgotten about. Ugh.
