POSH, THE CRAZED FAN-BOY AND BECKS IN KOREA

These meet-and-greets have produced some of our favourite shots of Posh lately. Like this one at Holt's in Toronto. Great stuff, not only because she showed up looking like she was about to hop on a horse and gallop off into the sunset but also because of the amazing, awkward posing with the crazed Spice fans.

The boy above, for example, was spotted at the SG show later that night (the last ever, by the way - many tears have been shed) holding a sign that read 'This is my 22nd show.' Not joking; a life is in dire need here.

In other Beckham news, The Sex is out in Korea keeping the Galaxy cash train rolling, playing a bunch of friendlies in Asia. He touched on his being left out of the friendly against Switzerland that kept him from earning his 100th appearance for England at a press conference in Seoul yesterday:

"I would love to reach 100 caps, but I have to be physically ready to be part of the team. All I’ve done is training. I have no match fitness."

Reminds us a bit of those rejects off of American Idol who come out of the audition room to tell In-Narnia Seacrest that they got punked off because they didn't get in enough practice enough the night before. In reality, Simon just finished telling them that they sounded like a warbling hippo or something. Denial central.

Random final bit: Victoria and David are set to spend a weekend at Chequers with Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah. This is not a rumour, Sarah herself has confirmed it.

A source told The People:

"They don't seem likely friends but the Browns have a lot of time for the Beckhams. Sarah does a lot of charity work and has previously called on Victoria to help. They get on well and Sarah knows Victoria and David can be relied on to send signed books or jeans or give time if possible."

Is Gordie hoping to become the world's sexiest politician simply by association? Too bad it doesn't work quite like that. Plus, Obama's got that title on lock, anyway.
