Victoria Beckham arrived in London today transported by an Air Harrods helicopter. Surrounded by friends, Victoria was definitely showing off some of that street style she's famous for, looking ready to make appearances in the UK to promote her dress collection. She recently granted an interview to chat about her line, opening up about her well-mannered boys, her career, and her famous American pals. Here's more:

• On getting ready to debut her collection: "I was so nervous that for days before I drank loads and loads of water. God, I'm square.”
• On avoiding rumors: "I'm just really happy. I wake up every morning and I think I'm so blessed. I don't read the stuff that's written about us. I'm not interested in gossip. Some of the people that I'm friends with in America — you know, Tom and Katie — they get it too and we laugh about all these stupid things."
• On doing things her way: "I don't really care what people think. I never made friends easily. For years, when I was in the Spice Girls, those were my four best friends and we stuck up for each other. Now I've got David. Nothing has ever come particularly naturally to me. It's made me a hard worker and very disciplined. I get that from my dad."

Healthy mom-to-be Jennifer Garner picks up some groceries with a gal pal at the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Wednesday.

It must be an exciting time for the family as Jen’s winter due date approaches.

On the other side of town, her 3-year-old daughter Violet Affleck was seen drinking from a sippy cup as dad Ben Affleck dropped her off at nursery school.

Just two days ago, Violet celebrated her third birthday. She’s growing up so fast!

Sharon Stone has worked with Samuel L. Jackson exactly once: on the 1998 flop Sphere. However, this was hardly her best qualification to make a speech to Jackson during 23rd annual American Cinematheque Awards, which honored the actor. No, Stone was almost certainly booked for the special brand of crazy she brings to such occasions, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, she did not disappoint:

One running theme of the evening was guessing what the "L" in "Samuel L. Jackson" stands for...In perhaps the most bizarre tribute, Stone strutted onstage and, with her hands on her hips, purred words such as "Luscious," "L'amour," "Ladies love Samuel L. Jackson" — and breathlessly told a story about seeing Jackson "nekkid" in a movie and then trying to talk to him at a premiere. She eventually got serious, talking about the moral compass he brings to his characters, and saying that the "L" stood for "Legend."

Sadly, a flashing light indicating that Stone should wrap it up meant that she never had a chance to use her runners-up in the initial derby, which included "Laser skin resurfacing," "Licentious cougar," and "Laotian Chinese who brought devastation upon themselves." Next time!

The world's oldest stash of weed has been found in China! Surprisingly, it was not found by my stoner cousin who could sniff out shake in between couch cushions. The dude has skills. Anyweedy, scientists found almost 2-pounds of the good shit in the 2,700 year-old grave of a man in the Gobi Desert.

After a series of "tests" (aka they had a bowl party) scientists determined that shit was not just used to make clothing. They were smoking it up. That shit is the real ancient Chinese secret.

Did the scientists also find a 2,700 year-old Taco Bell in the area, because I don't know how those bitches smoked up without devouring two Pintos 'N Cheeses afterwards.

And I'll race all of you to China! The scientists will totally buy it when we say, "Um...I dropped my stash in the Gobi Desert 2,700 years ago. I heard through the grapevine that you might have it?"
