Victoria Beckham rubs her chilly hands together as she lands at Battersea Heliport in London on Wednesday afternoon.

The 34-year-old former Spice Girl recently opened up to People about the manners of her three boys - Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn. She proudly stated, “People are always remarking on how well-behaved the boys are. My mum and dad were real sticklers for good manners and so are me and David.”

Victoria also shared that she doesn’t read the gossip section of the newspaper and pushes aside the articles about her and husband David Beckham. She revealed, “Some of the people that I’m friends with in America – you know, Tom [Cruise] and Katie [Holmes] – they get it, too, and we laugh about all these stupid things.”

A few weeks ago, Joe Jonas made headlines for breaking up with Taylor Swift and quickly jumping into a relationship with actress Camilla Belle. Though the two never made anything public, this week she was seen looking mighty friendly with Twilight leading man Robert Pattinson. Their lunch sparked rumors, but it could be nothing. Now tell us, hypothetically, if you had to choose between the two heartthrobs, who would you choose — Joe Jonas or Robert Pattinson?

Who Would You Choose — Joe Jonas or Robert Pattinson?

Joe Jonas — He's wholesome, sweet, and could sing to me!

Robert Pattinson — He's so hot and mysterious!

The only thing that Britney can do live is open and close her mouth and wiggle painfully on stage.

For her Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting "appearance," Papa Spears ordered a pre-tape, then got BritBrit some anti-crazy pills, a lopsided stylist and gave her a mic to play with.

How nice!

Britney will not be "singing" at the tree lighting tonight, which she pre-taped last night. She's just gracing us with her "presence."

At least she looked cute last night/will look cute tonight!

Terrible lovebirds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are capable of making no move without a cannery-level of fishiness (and paparazzi present, of course), and so it is with their Mexico wedding, which has since been revealed as the legally unbinding publicity stunt that, rather than being beneath the couple, represents the absolute apex of their combined powers. Still, Heidi's mother Darlene is not having it, and she's come out swinging in Us with some wild allegations about Spencer's Svengali-like hold on her daughter. But is it all part of the plan? Let's find out:

"He's manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi," Darlene Egelhoff, 46, told Us in an exclusive interview from her home in Crested Butte, Colorado the day after Montag, 22, blew off Thanksgiving with her family to stay with Pratt in Cabo San Lucas., the site of her Nov. 20 elopement. "I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged."

"Spencer has tried to cut everyone out of her life," Egelhoff tells Us. "I've been honest with Heidi, and it's caused our relationship to decline. I'm more devastated about that than the marriage, because I'm confident the marriage won't work out." [...]

So how long does she give their marriage?

"Six months," she says.

Harsh words from someone who's been a regular fixture in their staged paparazzi shoots, as seen above! Had Spencer slipped drugs into Egelhoff's mocha latte to earn her former compliance, or is she simply now playing along with the staged villainy that adds fuel to the duo's stalled Hills storyline? How long before Egelhoff packes her bags and moves from Crested Butte into Lauren Conrad's apartment, ready to provide her with a sympathetic shoulder pad to cry on (while making secret advances to Brody behind her back)?

At a Cedars-Sinai benefit last night at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, the animated woodland creatures that typically accompany David Archuleta wherever he goes were shooed away by idol-feeding succubus Priscilla Presley, who quickly drained the rosy tint from his cheeks. Hours later, he arose from a shallow dirt grave to take on his new, immortal form—as ELVISULA, Hip-Gyrating Prince of Darkness. [NY Post]
