VICTORIA Beckham and her soccer star husband David will reportedly spend the first half of 2010 apart.

According to a British newspaper, the former Spice Girl has no plans to join David in Milan, where he’s committed himself to a second loan stint playing for AC Milan to chase his World Cup dream.

Victoria will stay behind in Los Angeles so their sons — Brooklyn, ten, Romeo, seven, and four-year-old Cruz — can continue to attend their Hollywood school.

“She has no plans to move,” a source said. “All three boys are now at the same school and very happy and settled so it would be too much upheaval for just a few months.”

David, 34, has previously revealed that he hates being away from his brood. “Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my children, about my wife and my family and I hate being away from them,” he said.

Meanwhile, in a new interview with America’s Allure magazine, Victoria revealed that she prefers sex over sleep.

“I’m getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there’d be something wrong if I said, ’sleep’,” she told the mag.

“I tend to wear nothing [to bed],” Victoria added. “But David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur, his favorite store.”

VICTORIA Beckham clearly has her priorities in order!

Asked by Allure magazine if she preferred sleep over sex, the 35-year-old former Spice Girl opted for the latter.

“I’m getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there’d be something wrong if I said, ’sleep’,” she told the mag.

“I tend to wear nothing [to bed],” Victoria adds. “But David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur, his favorite store.”

And if given the choice of salads or fries, the skinny star admits she always goes green.

“I’m not going to lie — I’m not one of those people that says, ‘Oh, I eat hamburgers’,” she said.

“I don’t self-tan anymore,” she added. “It’s frustrating when people criticize my color. It’s the color that I am! I wear sunblock, but I live in a hot climate.”

VICTORIA Beckham is no longer the queen of footballer’s wives!

The former Spice Girl — who’s married to LA Galaxy soccer star David Beckham — has been toppled by Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole (married to Chelsea star Ashley Cole) in the fight to be Britain’s top-earning Wag.

Cole, 26, has earned a reported £6.9million through TV and sponsorship deals and her fledgling solo career.

Victoria, 35, has taken home £6.7million over the past two years.

“It’s the end of Posh Spice’s reign,” a source told British newspaper the News of The World. “Queen Victoria is on her way out. And there’s a new princess ready to take her crown.

“There’s much more in the pipeline. Cheryl has the potential to be massive and leave other Wags — including Posh — behind.

“Cheryl will be the ultimate Wag money-making machine.

“While Victoria’s slipping down in many people’s eyes, Cheryl’s star is on the up.”

DAVID and Victoria Beckham will not return to the UK when he retires.

The soccer star, 34, has been based in Los Angeles since joining LA Galaxy in 2007, and wants to stay in America when he quits the sport because the couple and their sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, seven, and four-year-old Cruz are able to lead a relatively anonymous life in the US.

“We have a normal life,” he said. “I can see us living here for a few years.”

Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria recently admitted she had found their previous home, Spain, “tricky”, and said living in America made her feel “equal” to David.

“I found Spain a little tricky. But from the minute we landed at the airport, we were equal,” she said. “America is equal, it doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman. In Spain it’s more difficult for women.”

Although the couple are settled in Los Angeles, David is set to spend six months in Italy from January after signing a deal with soccer giants AC Milan and recently admitted to how much he hates being apart from his family.

“The biggest thing for me is I go away and leave my family for six months,” he said.

“Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my children, about my wife and my family and I hate being away from them.”

VICTORIA Beckham wants to dress Emma Watson.

The singer-turned fashion designer says her dream client would be the stylish Harry Potter actress.

In the latest issue of British Harper’s Bazaar, Beckham describes Watson, 19, as “so sweet, so true to herself,” adding, “There are so many young girls wearing too much make-up, too much hairspray — I find that very dated.”

Beckham says she’s also a fan of Kate Bosworth, Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie’s style.

“I think Angelina’s beautiful,” she said.

VICTORIA Beckham is set to expand her business empire — she’s reportedly planning to start her own modeling agency.

The singer-turned fashion designer is apparently in talks with her manager Simon Fuller to set up a new business venture in New York.

“Simon knows that Victoria is very savvy when it comes to fashion,” a source said. “His first foray into fashion was to team up designer Roland Mouret and Victoria, which was a huge success.

“Victoria is a key asset to Simon and he wants her to take on a major role.”

Victoria, 35, recently opened up about her first ever fashion show, which left her feeling incredibly nervous.

“I felt beyond vulnerable,” she said. “I’d never known nerves like it in my life. The night before, I got nodules in my throat.

“I’d never felt such anxiety. I was very aware that people were expecting very short clothes, probably quite revealing, and I really went against that and showed the other side of me.”

“If you don’t believe in yourself,” Beckham concludes, “no one else will.

“I just want to learn as much as I can. I was always pushed into the theater and dance — it’s just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do.”

IT takes a lot of effort to stay as slim as Victoria Beckham.

The former Spice Girl — who’s married to soccer star David Beckham — says she exercises seven days a week.

“I didn’t want to rely on retouching,” the 35-year-old says in the December issue of British Harper’s Bazaar, referring to her flawless appearance in recent ads for Emporio Armani.

“I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years’ time and say ‘Wow, look — after three kids — I didn’t look bad,’” Victoria adds.

Victoria recently revealed that she’s a complete control freak.

“I don’t mind making mistakes,” she said. “I just can’t live with anyone else’s mistakes.

“I’m a complete control freak. I’m not the easiest person to work with because I’m so passionate and being a working mum, it’s a balancing act.”

FORMER Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is okay with mistakes — as long as she’s the one making them!

In candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Victoria — who’s married to soccer star David Beckham — admits she’s a “complete control freak”.

“I don’t mind making mistakes,” she said. “I just can’t live with anyone else’s mistakes.

“I’m a complete control freak. I’m not the easiest person to work with because I’m so passionate and being a working mum, it’s a balancing act.”

Beckham — who successfully swapped singing for a career in clothing — also opened up about her first ever fashion show, which left her feeling incredibly nervous.

“I felt beyond vulnerable,” she said. “I’d never known nerves like it in my life. The night before, I got nodules in my throat.

“I’d never felt such anxiety. I was very aware that people were expecting very short clothes, probably quite revealing, and I really went against that and showed the other side of me.”

“If you don’t believe in yourself,” Beckham concludes, “no one else will.

“I just want to learn as much as I can. I was always pushed into the theater and dance — it’s just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do.”

VICTORIA Beckham loves the fact she and her soccer star husband David are considered gay icons.

The former Spice Girl says she can understand why men fancy the squeaky-voiced footballer.

“I love it! I’m hugely flattered when anyone says they like me, or David. I mean, David is gorgeous,” Victoria told the UK’s Attitude magazine. “I can understand why anyone would fancy him — man, woman, dog, cat; just look at him!”

Victoria, 35, recently revealed that she pays people to read what gets written about her in the press.

“I don’t have any interest in the tabloids,” she said. “I have a great team of people who look out for that kind of thing and they let me know if I should sue someone.

“But generally speaking I don’t hear it and I don’t really care about the criticism because I feel very fulfilled creatively and professionally.

“I don’t like it when people criticize my weight because I know there are a lot of young girls that look up to me, so I consider that incredibly irresponsible.”

SKINNY Victoria Beckham doesn’t need to keep tabs on the tabloids — because she pays people to do it for her!

The former Spice Girl — who’s married to soccer star David Beckham — says she hardly reads what gets written about her in the press.

“I don’t have any interest in the tabloids,” she told UK magazine Attitude. “I have a great team of people who look out for that kind of thing and they let me know if I should sue someone.
