Keep Your Eye on The Ball, David Beckham!

It must be hard to remain composed when the world is watching your every move. Especially when there are scantily-clad cheerleaders parading in front of you.

David Beckham was spotted looking a little flushed as a bevy of beauties walked past him and his boys at the LA Lakers game against the Phoenix Suns. While his wife Victoria was making sure her new collection had a successful launch in London, the footballer was enjoying a boys night out at the basketball.

Becks, 36, was accompanied by Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and Cruz, six, at the Staples Centre. And both David and middle son Romeo were both caught taking in the sights from their courtside seats.

Becks and Romeo couldn't help but stare at one of the Lakers cheerleaders as she sashayed past them. He wore a brown T-shirt with jeans and a pair of shoes, with a wooly hat covering his hair.

The foursome looked like they were having a great time, fully engrossed in the game throughout.At one point David spoke with Spanish Lakers star Pau Gasol, who towered over him during their courtside conversation.

It's not the first time the LA Galaxy star has been caught with a wandering eye at a basketball match. In fact, ever since becoming a regular at the Staples Centre it seems David has enjoyed watching the cheerleaders perform their entertaining shows - as any red-blooded male would.

However, he has sometimes been accompanied by wife Victoria who has understandably kept a watchful eye on him. Meanwhile, only hours after wrapping up her work in New York after the city's fashion week, Victoria boarded a plane back to her homeland to launch her collection for London Fashion Week.

And she barely had time to catch her breath as she headed to department store Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge to throw a party to celebrate her new designs that went down a storm across the Pond.

She looked tired but managed to fight her fatigue as she faced a barrage of flashbulbs as she arrived at the store. And she was still her usual chic and professional self as she posed for the cameras in one of her own designs.

Lady Gaga Drives Fans Crazy In First Taiwan Concert

Taichung, Taiwan - Lady Gaga extended her very first performance in Taiwan on Sunday to tens of thousands of fans in ecstasy, singing five more songs than scheduled in a free concert.

CNA-OANA reports the American pop diva sang nine songs from her latest album "Born This Way" at Taichung City's Fulfillment Amphitheater in front of 6,000 people who luckily got tickets to the promotional show.

More than 30,000 people that could not get in also enjoyed the rare performance by watching two large screens put up outside the theatre. Some of them were satisfied with simply listening to the music and feeling the excitement in the air.

The international star opened the much-anticipated show in a sexy black thin sleeve-less dress, wowing the audience with her trademark wild dance and heavy-beat music.

Her "little monsters" were surprised by the singer's improvisation of the lyrics and spontaneous interaction with them, such as singing "Taiwan you and I" or stopping in the middle of a sentence to let fans finish singing the rest.

She said the flags printed with her album cover on the streets and a huge screen playing one of her music videos made her very happy.

"That made me so happy, so thank you." In the one-hour long concert, Lady Gaga mentioned "Taiwan" for at
least five times, either in her songs or in her talks. "(I was) very very very very excited to see Gaga and I hope she will come give a concert in Taiwan next time," said Pierre Fu, a man in special costume inspired by his idol.

He added the whole concert was so very unique that it was impossible to choose a favorite part.

"Amazing. Only this word can describe it. She was fantastic and very friendly," said Natashia Lee.

She said the concert "doubled" her imagination "I think she performed with utmost sincerity and beyond, just as what she promised earlier--she put 150 percent preparation into the concert."

The diva is scheduled to give a press conference in Taipei Monday before leaving Taiwan the next day. (ANT.U.C003)

Amy Winehouse duet with Tony Bennett going to charity

Los Angeles - A duet between jazz great Tony Bennett and the late singer Amy Winehouse is being released as a single to benefit a charity established by her father, Bennett`s spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

The classic pop standard "Body and Soul" that Winehouse recorded with Bennett in March is one of her last works. She died unexpectedly at age 27 on July 23, after a long battle with alcohol and drugs.

An official cause of death for Winehouse has not been determined. Her father, Mitch, is creating a foundation in her name to help drug addicts.

Proceeds from Bennett and Winehouse`s "Body and Soul" recording, which is being released as a single, will go to the foundation, said Liz Rosenberg, a spokeswoman for Bennett.

The song will also appear on Bennett`s "Duets II" CD to be released on Sept. 20.

Bennett, a Grammy winning jazz legend whose biggest songs include "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Rags to Riches," celebrated his 85th birthday on Wednesday.

He recorded "Body and Soul" with Winehouse at the Abbey Road Studios in London, and has credited her for her abilities as a jazz singer.

Grammy winner Winehouse was famed for her black beehive hair and soulful voice, and is best known for her 2006 song "Rehab" that summed up her struggles with addiction.

Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis near split

Los Angeles - Johnny Depp`s 14-year romance with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis has hit the rocks, People magazine claimed on Wednesday, and the couple are living largely separate lives.

In a cover story for this week`s issue of People called "Love Gone Wrong", the celebrity magazine quoted several unnamed sources as saying the pair`s relationship is nearing an end.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star (48) and Paradis (39) never married but have been together since 1998 and have two children. They divide their time between France and the United States.

People magazine noted that the pair have not appeared on the red carpet together for more than a year, missing both the Cannes film festival in May 2011 and the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday, where Depp was a presenter.

"According to multiple sources....(they) are all but officially finished," People said.

Depp`s representatives did not return calls for comment on the People story, which hits newsstands on Friday.(V003)

Microsoft's New Phones Could Run The Same Apps as PCs

Leaks from within Microsoft have revealed a suite of hi-tech new features for Microsoft's Windows Phone - including new software that will let the phones share apps with Windows PCs.

A video, of Windows Phone chief Joe Belfiore, and supposedly for consumption by Microsoft's partner Nokia, lists a variety of hi-tech features due in a forthcoming update to Windows Phone software. The key feature is that apps can be shared more easily with Windows PCs, in the same way as software is shared across Apple's iPhone and iPad.

Windows Phone will use much of the same software as Microsoft's upcoming tablet-friendly Windows 8, making it easier for developers to create applications that work on both. Microsoft hopes to have 100,000 apps available at launch.

The video was seen by website PocketNow, but other tech insiders who have seen Windows Phone 8 have confirmed several details. Analysts iSuppli have predicted that Microsoft's Windows Phone will overtake Apple's iPhone by 2015.

Nokia, which has partnered with Microsoft to produce smartphones running Windows Phone, has sold a million handsets since launch, beating analyst expectations. The new software, codenamed Apollo, should appear in new Nokia handsets, although there is no confirmed release date.

The devices will also offer SkyDrive - a remote-storage function which allows users to store files such as digital music online, then access them from any device. It could mean that Windows users will be able to access their entire music collection instantly without having to sync their devices with a PC.

The update will also add support for new screen resolutions and will add an NFC (near field communication) chip for contactless payments in shops. Microsoft are describing this as 'the wallet experience'.

So far, Windows Phone has remained niche, despite fan and reviewer enthusiasm for the operating system. Last year, Windows Phone accounted for just two per cent of the smartphone market.

But by 2015, that figure will be 16.7 per cent, says iSuppli - putting the handsets into second place in the worldwide smartphone race, behind Google's Android, but ahead of Apple's iOS.
