Joining the Spice Girls is a new little one! Melanie Chisholm gave birth in London to a baby girl, Scarlet Starr, on Sunday, February 22nd. The first child of Mel C and partner Thomas Starr weighed 8 lbs., 3 ounces. Melanie and Thomas announced the pregnancy back in September. The delivery is amusing, occurring just a few days after fellow Spice Girl, Victoria, celebrated the fourth birthday of her youngest boy, Cruz David Beckham. I can't wait to see Mel C's addition to the Spice Kids!

Awwww! Cruising his way to the top of our favorite celebrity babies list, Cruz Beckham, 2, takes a tumble on the soccer field and doting Dad, Becks, rushes over to kiss the boo-boo away. And as parents everywhere know, nothing works better!

With towel draped around his neck, David rubs Cruz's shin and the little trooper, wearing a “Beckham 23” shirt, is soon back in action.

Cruz and Becks were joined by elder brothers, Brooklyn, 9, and Romeo, 5. The soccer family was enjoying a fans’ day at David Beckham's LA Galaxy club stadium.

Happy Birthday, Brooklyn Beckham!

Posh and Becks' eldest son turned nine yesterday with a star-studded bash at Century City Mall's Pink Taco restaurant in Los Angeles. Dad had to participate by phone, since he's traveling in Asia with his L.A. Galaxy soccer team.

But the little Becksies had a ball, nonetheless. According to PEOPLE magazine, 25 guests attended the do, including Heidi Klum and family, and Eva Longoria Parker.

Brooklyn's ham of a little brother, Cruz, 3, tried to steal the show by turning up in a Batman costume. The brothers seem to be very into breakdancing, as Brooklyn and his buddies were treated to a performance by a team of b-boys.

C'mon, Brooklyn, we've seen Cruz, now it's time to see you bust some moves!

Birthday shout-outs to B-Boy, Cruz Beckham, who turns 3 today!

The tiny breakdancing wonder wowed the crowds with his moves at a Spice Girls concert in Madison Square Garden in NYC Monday.

Pop-lockin', headspinning, at 2 years old! He's incredibly cute and talented (takes after Dad!) for his age. Mom, Posh, has called him "the next Justin Timberlake."

Go Cruz!

Adorable Cruz Beckham, 2, goes toy shopping with mom, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, at FAO Schwarz in NYC.

He is just too cute. Takes after Dad, David!

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly wading through applications for the title of godparent to her unborn twins.

Swamped with requests from celebrities, the 38-year-old singer has decided to "audition" the applicants to test their suitability for the role. JLo's close friend, actress Leah Remini, says she and husband, Angelo Pagan, "asked for an audition for godparent roles, so at the moment we are waiting to hear back." "We need about a day to prepare though," she adds. 

Other contenders include Spice Girls singer, Victoria Beckham and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, producer of JLo's 2002 film 'Maid in Manhattan'. Goldsmith-Thomas recently hosted a luxurious baby shower for Lopez at New York's Gramercy Park Hotel.

Soccer Icon, David Beckham is using his fame to try to make the world a better place. The goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is urging the world to pay attention to the "shocking and tragic" child mortality rates in developing countries.

Speaking on his return from a trip to Sierra Leone in West Africa, Becks said his visit has hammered home the extent of the problem. "We can't turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of young children who die every day in the developing world mostly from causes that are preventable."

The father of Cruz, 2, Brooklyn, 8, and Romeo, 4, said in Sierra Leone, one in four children die before reaching their fifth birthday. "It's shocking and tragic especially when the solutions are simple," he lamented. These simple solutions include vaccinating against measles and using a mosquito net to reduce the chances of getting malaria.

 "Saving these children's lives is a top priority for UNICEF and as an ambassador I hope I can help to draw attention to this issue across the world," said the LA Galaxy star.

According to UNICEF, more than 26,000 children under the age of five die every day around the world, mostly from preventable causes and in the developing world. In Sierra Leone, 27 percent of children die before reaching their fifth birthday, the highest figure in the world, according to a UNICEF report released Tuesday: The State of the World's Children (SOWC) 2008.

It's no secret that the parent who takes on the least responsibility almost always wants to add to the family.

The minute Victoria Beckham, a/k/a/ Posh Spice rekindles her career, hubby David 'Becks' Beckham announces he wants to have more kids!

The 32-year-old soccer icon told Barbara Walters that he'd love to have two more kids.

"I've always wanted a big family. Victoria knows that," Becks chirped.

Visibly taken aback, Posh declared: "I've had three! I'd love to have more children but our three boys are so active, it's not about parenting, it's about crowd control now."

The couple appeared last night on Walters' program, “10 Most Fascinating People of 2007.”

Becks, I'm sure Posh would agree to more kids once you decide to become a stay-at-home dad!

When it comes to her kids, Victoria Beckham's motto is "money is no object."

DOTSPOTTER is reporting that Posh Spice bought the Treetent as an early Christmas gift for her three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5 and Cruz, 2.

The 33-year-old Beckham was seen buying the 9 ft. tent at Neiman Marcus for a whopping $51,605. The item is hyped as a luxury hideaway with a 'limited dollop of sci-fi futurism' and 'a totally new way to experience nature.' (Photo below)

We think that a much better choice would have been to shop at http://www.babyage.com/ . The boys could have gotten a much more attractive, stylish and classy playhouse like the 6' x 8' square Euro Sheds Nottingham Playhouse, made of kiln-dried Scandinavian pine, at 1/25th of the cost of the Treetent. The Nottingham Playhouse comes complete with balustrade, ladder and two fixed and two opening windows and even includes a 28" x 65" loft! 

Take a look at the Euro Sheds Nottingham Playhouse, below, available online at http://www.babyage.com/products/essh1024_european_sheds_euro_sheds_nottingham_playhouse.htm.

The Beckham family were in London's Heathrow Airport the other day coming back home to the U.S. David Beckham needed to get back to play his first game with L.A. Galaxy. The whole family was there, wife Victoria and sons Cruz, 2, Brooklyn, 8, and Romeo, 4.

The Beckham's celebrated Father's Day at the Spanish First Division championships in Madrid along with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. This was David's last time playing for Real Madrid. He celebrated on the field with his three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Cruz, 2, and Romeo, 4.

It was almost like a Spice Girl reunion when almost all of the former Spice Girls got together for Geri Halliwell's 11-month-old baby's Christening. Victoria Beckham, aka "Posh", is Bluebell Madonna's Godmother.

All of the ladies were at a London church on Sunday except for Melanie Brown, who recently had a baby. A source tells People, "It was a very special Spice day."

So the rumor is that the Spice Girls will be having a reunion. But according to People, Mel Chisholm, a former Spice Girl, this is untrue but she doesn't rule it out for the future.

"It's not all me – I've spoken to the other girls and one of them thinks it's great but the others don't think it's a good idea." Of course not, two of the Spice Girls, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton and Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, are pregnant. Victoria "Posh" Beckham is in the process of moving with her husband and children. As for Mel, aka Sporty Spice, recorded her own version of Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy" for the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. She is also releasing her fourth solo album, This Time, in the UK on April 2. "We have discussed that if there was a fantastic event that we felt would benefit from the attention [a reunion] would bring, we would consider that as a one-up, but there is no time this year as everyone is very busy with personal or professional things."

They are all involved in some huge transitions and now is not the right time for a reunion. I would love to see it happen though!

Victoria Beckham goes blonde! The Sun stats that she "Feels like a new woman."  As you may have guessed, she wants a new California style to go with her new LA home that her and her family will be moving into. She made sure that her hubby, David Beckham, was in on the hair decision and sent him pictures for him to approve the style before she got it. According to People, she wants to see if blondes really do have more fun!

On Tuesday, People caught celebrity mom, Victoria Beckham taking her youngest son Cruz, 2, to a Burger King in Madrid for his birthday.
