David Beckham Spent a Year Convincing Victoria to Star in Her Own Netflix Show

BBG News

For approximately a year, David Beckham tirelessly convinced his wife Victoria, who initially showed resistance, to create a documentary about herself for Netflix. However, Victoria expressed that she felt too occupied to allow the cameras into her life.

This week, it was mentioned that Victoria is employed full-time in her fashion and beauty company, while David has separate professional obligations. However, their workloads don’t match on a daily basis. The proposal for this project surfaced promptly after David’s docuseries became extremely popular.

However, for quite some time, she consistently declined offers from others. This rejection period lasted from October 2023 right up until August 2024. Despite Netflix’s persistent attempts to change her mind, the final decision ultimately fell to David.

‘He was the one who finally got her to say yes.’

The affirmation arrived just before the deadline since, based on my information, the primary theme of the documentary revolves around her anxiety and challenges in the run-up to her fashion event in Paris during September the previous year.

At a Netflix event held on Wednesday evening, previously unseen clips from the show revealed her looking alarmed as heavy rain threatened to damage an outdoor runway sheltered by a marquee at the Chateau de Bagatelle in Paris.

In another video, she is captured pondering from the back seat of a car, expressing her hope that while making the documentary, she might uncover the reason behind her compulsion to start her business even though it wasn’t necessary. With a hint of humor, she remarks: ‘I guess I’m hoping this will serve as a sort of self-exploration or therapy.’

The show, temporarily named “Victoria Beckham,” began filming back in September of the previous year, and it’s planned to continue until June. The release date for this series is anticipated to be before the end of 2025.

The documentary may also unveil that it won’t involve in-depth conversations with her children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. While they appear in various scenes at home and at the fashion show, they are not subjects for interviews. Instead, the interviews will focus on David (who was prominently featured in his documentary) as well as key figures from the fashion world, such as Anna Wintour, a long-time friend of the couple and an ardent supporter of Victoria’s fashion endeavors.

It’s uncertain if any of the Spice Girls will speak about their past bandmate in an interview. So far, no footage has been recorded featuring them, and there was disappointment when she chose not to participate in their reunion tour in 2019 and declined invitations to reunite for Glastonbury as well.

Reports indicate that Victoria was caught on camera while working, relaxing at home, and exercising in her gym, all for a documentary directed by Nadia Hallgren, the same director behind the 2020 film ‘Becoming’ featuring Michelle Obama.

As a devoted follower, I am excited to share that I am part of the team where David Beckham’s company, Studio 99, is spearheading the project. Nicola Howson, our respected leader, will produce it, and Julia Nottingham from Dorothy St Pictures will also be a vital contributor to this venture.

It seems that Victoria has fully committed herself to the current project, which happens to be her fourth documentary. You might recall her from ITV’s Victoria’s Secrets back in 2000, Being Victoria Beckham in 2002, The Real Beckhams in 2003, and Victoria Beckham: Coming To America in 2007.

Last week on TV, David stated: ‘Convincing her wasn’t a walk in the park, but I believe she stole the show. In my view, she was the standout performer.’ He further praised his wife by calling her ‘an exceptionally intelligent and diligent woman.’

The official description for the show goes like this: ‘Although she was once known as Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham is now embarking on a new adventure to establish a fashion empire. Fans will now have the opportunity to witness the tale of her transformation into a creative director for her own label.’ It promises to share the story of Victoria’s reemergence as the creative mind behind her personal brand.

Victoria founded her fashion label in 2008 and her skincare and beauty line in 2019.

 

Payne’s poignant last tv show awaits go-ahead from family

Liam Payne will be shown judging singing hopefuls in a forthcoming Netflix show, Building The Band.

Last summer, the talent competition was recorded, but after the passing of the member from One Direction in October, there was uncertainty about whether they would remove him from the series or postpone its airing.

As a dedicated fan, I eagerly anticipate participating in “Building The Band,” a show slated for release by 2025, which is hosted by none other than AJ McLean from the iconic Backstreet Boys. Rumor has it that One Direction’s Liam Payne will join Nicole Scherzinger, the main judge and mentor, as a guest judge during some of the auditions. It seems that discussions are underway within Payne’s family regarding their approval for his participation in the show.

The creators of this show assert that it gathers exceptionally skilled vocalists to participate in an exceptional reality competition, where the formation of a harmonious band is centered around chemistry. The singers have autonomy as they strive to create bands within separate ‘booths’, without having face-to-face contact with each other.

‘All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit’.

 

 J-Lo spins an irresistible web in Spider Woman

The excitement at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah this week revolves around actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, who is captivating audiences with her performance in a modern adaptation of the 1985 movie titled “Kiss Of The Spider Woman.

The movie is being made by Ben Affleck’s production company, Artists Equity, and it may well be the final project they collaborate on – since their divorce has been resolved through mediation, the legal proceedings are set to conclude towards the end of February.

J-Lo plays the lead character Ingrid Luna, who is featured in several impressive musical performances involving singing and dancing.

As a die-hard admirer, I couldn’t help but echo the chorus of acclaim declaring this as the pinnacle of her career. And when the opportunity to witness this masterpiece unfolded at a screening, none other than the legendary Jennifer Lopez expressed: “I’ve been yearning for this moment my entire life.

‘To be completely honest, it was my love for musicals that initially drew me into this profession. Every Thanksgiving, my mom would make me watch West Side Story on TV, and that annual tradition sparked a passion in me.’

I found myself utterly captivated, and in that moment, I exclaimed, ‘That’s the dream right there!’ Indeed, achieving that has always been my ambition, and for the first time ever, I was fortunate enough to live it.

 

It’s a relief that there aren’t profanity jars at press conferences. Despite this, Daisy May Cooper, known for her colorful language, uttered the F-word no less than 36 times during a brief 20-minute conversation about her upcoming comedy drama titled Am I Being Unreasonable?

Interestingly enough, she shared that a less polite term was restricted to one usage throughout the series. She jokingly told her co-star Selin Hizli, “Let’s make sure we don’t squander it then.” You can catch the show on BBC iPlayer starting from Wednesday.

 

Annie seeks Celebrity status

Will Annie Kilner be following Wag Coleen Rooney into the jungle this autumn?

It appears that Kyle Walker’s wife has been given the opportunity to participate in Celebrity Big Brother, but she prefers Strictly Come Dancing, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, or Dancing On Ice, as these are her favorite TV shows to watch.

In simpler terms, the 34-year-old defender for Manchester City, Kyle Walker, who’s currently on loan at AC Milan, has a 32-year-old partner named Annie planning to attend his upcoming debut match this weekend. She intends to be there with their four children by her side.

Reports indicate that Annie, as depicted, has chosen 2025 as a personal milestone, a time when she takes center stage and pursues her own desires, instead of continually prioritizing her family’s needs.

 

It came as quite the surprise when people discovered that Hilaria Baldwin, despite her noticeable Spanish accent, was actually born and bred in Boston, and is not of Spanish descent.

In the upcoming reality TV series The Baldwins, initial clips show a noticeable change in her speech style, deviating from the manner of Manuel from Fawlty Towers.

Or:

The previews for the upcoming TV show The Baldwins suggest that she is no longer adopting the speech pattern similar to Manuel from Fawlty Towers.

Or:

As we get a sneak peek at The Baldwins’ reality TV series, it appears that she has stopped talking like the character Manuel from Fawlty Towers.

It streams on Discovery+ from February 24.

 

In a more relaxed and conversational style: Legendary musicians Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have experienced both highs and lows, and it turns out that they won’t be sharing the screen for their upcoming authorized documentary, “Becoming Led Zeppelin.

The duo was individually questioned for the movie regarding the beginnings of the collective, but they won’t attend the initial screening.

The film is out on Imax next Wednesday and Thursday and then in cinemas.

 

Batman’s Pattinson takes the Mickey for icy comedy

We will be seeing double and then some in the forthcoming film Mickey 17.

In the film, Robert Pattinson, known for his role as Batman, takes on the part of Mickey from age one to eighteen. This movie is a witty blend of humor and darkness, where his character willingly becomes a disposable asset on a frigid planet.

Each time Mickey appears to perish, a fresh edition of him is printed and his consciousness is transferred to a new clone. Consequently, Mickey 17 doesn’t meet his end, but instead, Mickey 18 is already in production.

This comedy, renowned for its dark humor, is masterfully directed by the talented Bong Joon-Ho, known for his acclaimed film Parasite. It was shot on location in the United Kingdom. Currently, director Bong Joon-Ho and actor Robert Pattinson can be found in South Korea, where they are actively promoting this production.

The film premieres in Berlin next month and goes on general release in the UK on April 18.

 

Strictly star Wynne facing ‘crisis’

Concerned BBC coworkers express anxiety for Wynne Evans’ well-being following his dismissal from the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour. One colleague stated, “There is concern over how this situation might affect him.

Despite being 53 years old, Evans continues to receive warmth from both dancers and celebrities. He chose to withdraw from the spotlight following his inappropriate and disrespectful comment about host Janette Manrara regarding a sensitive topic.

This incident occurred in October, following the so-called ‘Gropegate’, where he playfully wrapped his hand around the waist of his dance partner, Katya Jones, during a live BBC show. Initially, it was claimed to be an “inside joke”. Recently, Katya pleaded for understanding and kindness towards the opera singer, who is mainly recognized for his Go Compare advertisements, on her Instagram post.

I’m told that Evans, pictured, was warned by ‘multiple’ BBC executives last year about his jokes.

As a lifestyle advisor, I recognize that he underwent media training to navigate the public eye more gracefully and avoid any future blunders. Regrettably, even after several months, he found himself in a similar predicament, being captured on camera once more.

It’s been reported that Wynne’s statement might be understood as part of a lively and mature environment prevalent during the Strictly tour.

It’s quite likely that many people make inappropriate jokes among friends, but what sets Wynne apart is that she made this comment when speaking to the media.

There’s a growing sense of concern for him due to his apparent fragile condition. His mental well-being has become a matter of concern, given the recent loss of his brother, which might have pushed him into some sort of predicament. However, it’s crucial to remember that offering endless second chances may not be beneficial. In this case, I believe the BBC didn’t have any other option.

Evans announced he will be taking a break from his BBC Radio Wales show, the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, and other public engagements, in order to focus on his personal well-being, as confirmed by him this week alongside appearances with Joanna Page on BBC One’s Wynne & Joanna: All At Sea.

Apologies sincerely for the hurt my unsuitable behaviors may have inflicted. I intend to use this period for some introspection about myself.

Additionally, it was found that he parted ways with his girlfriend Liz Brookes (age 50) towards the close of last year. Previously, in an interview, he admitted to experiencing suicidal thoughts and prolonged periods of deep sadness following the dissolution of his marriage in 2016.

Wynne announced earlier this month his eldest brother Huw had died.

A spokesperson for Janette Manrara said she had not heard the lewd comment.
