Victoria Beckham gives her friends style advice.

The singer-turned-fashion designer has thrilled her pals with how well her new career is going and delights in sharing her knowledge and expert tips.

Her former Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton, who was recently pictured wearing one of her pal’s creations revealed, “I chose it myself and I love it. Victoria’s dresses always make you feel so stylish. I am so lucky to have a great friend who designs wonderful outfits! She is an amazing designer.

“It is so difficult to go from music and do something else and there is real pressure, but it’s worked out so brilliantly for her.

“She has given me her advice before and told me to keep it classic.”

Emma, who was also joined in the group by Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Mel C, also spoke of how much she enjoys spending time with her former bandmates’ children.

She added, “It was so nice on the last tour. I had just had my son Beau at the time. Mel C hadn’t had Scarlet at that point and she spent a lot of time with Beau. And so when I found out she was pregnant, I was so pleased. We all go, ‘Look at us with our bubbas!’ ”

However, the quintet don’t pass on parenting advice to one another.

Emma added, “Do we swap tips? No, we are gossiping girls!”

Sheryl Crow believes that motherhood has made her music better.

The Grammy Award-winning artist, who has adopted sons Wyatt, three and Levi, two months, thinks because being a parent has “enriched” her life, her new experiences are reflected in her work.

She explained, “Motherhood in general changes your life. Your life informs your art and for me it’s just made my life so enriched. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

The 48-year-old singer, who battled breast cancer in 2006, admitted that her emotional state is the reason for the different sound of her new album.

Comparing her new record‘100 Miles From Memphis’ to her previous work, Sheryl said, “My last album had an urgency to it. I had a new baby Wyatt, I’d been through breast cancer and I had been through a bad break-up and I felt there was so much to write about.

“With this record I was coming from a much more emotional place. The idea of writing about desire and longing which is what soul music is typically known for, was where I was coming from”.

Russell Brand has been mistaken for a lookalike of himself.

The ‘Get Him to the Greek’ star, who is set to wed brunette bombshell Katy Perry in the autumn, was recently spotted by an eager fan outside a Los Angeles eatery, who mistook him for a Brand impersonator.

An onlooker told National Enquirer magazine, “She rushed up and babbled, ‘Wow, you look so much like Russell Brand, you could get work as a Russell Brand impersonator.’ ”

However, the British funnyman was not fazed and when he realized the fan really hadn’t recognized him, he decided to have a joke and play along.

He said, “Actually, that’s how I support myself.”

The quirky actor and presenter then grabbed his beard and declared, “This is a wig!”

The eyewitness revealed the fan was then shocked when ‘California Gurls’ hitmaker Katy pulled up in her car and the pair sped off.

Russell, 35, is reportedly being lined up to host his own radio show in America, with satellite station Sirius Radio said to be offering the star a contract “worth millions of dollars” to hit the airwaves.

A source close to the star, who has hosted several shows on UK radio stations revealed, “Russell has been itching to get back on radio for a while now. He has been off doing other things but radio still really tickles him.

“Russell’s sidekick Matt Morgan is also keen to get writing and broadcasting again. The Sirius deal is in its infancy but Russell is well up for it. He has been given the hard sell about how they could make him the new Howard Stern.”

Jeff Goldblum got sick from selling pens.

The ‘Jurassic Park’ star has only had one job other than acting, where he spent a week working in stationery telesales, and hated it so much he is convinced it made him unwell.

He said, “I worked one week selling pens and pencils over the phone – that was the only other job I’ve done. It was horrible. My heart wasn’t in it, and then I got sick, which probably wasn’t unrelated.”

The 57-year-old star rose to fame as a movie star in the 70s and 80s but in recent years he has been appearing in American police drama show ‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent’, where he portrays Detective Zach Nichols.

Despite his film background, Jeff doesn’t mind now pursuing a TV career and is pleased with his achievements.

He explained, “To be honest, my days are not spent going ‘Why didn’t I get it? I want that part.’ There are people who go, ‘I have $700 million, but so-and-so has $900 million. Why have you done this to me God, why am I so miserably second rate?’ “

David Beckham and Snoop Dogg were serenaded by a waitress.

The soccer star is close friends with the rapper and admits he experienced one of his most bizarre encounters ever when they went out for dinner in Los Angeles together.

He explained, “One time we went out for dinner in LA with another friend to a steak restaurant.

“The place had cleared and this waitress came over and said, ‘I can sing’ so I was like, ‘Oh my god’. Snoop sat back and said, ‘Go on then, sing for me’. She stood there and sang this whole song for Snoop, it really made me laugh and I was a bit embarrassed. She was… alright.”

The 35-year-old star is often called upon by his pal to give his opinion on his new music, but admits he struggles to give an honest answer.

He explained, “With his last album he called me about 10 days before it came out and he said, ‘I’ve got finished it this minute, come in and listen to it’ so I drove down and listened to each track and he asked my opinion. I was like, ‘I love every one of them’. But I wouldn’t have said otherwise – he’s got these two bodyguards who are huge!”

David, who has three sons with wife Victoria Beckham, is also close friends with actor Tom Cruise but insists his pal has never encouraged him to pursue an acting career, despite having several movie offers.

He added, “I’ve had a few offers but I turned them all down. I’m a terrible actor. I did a bit in ‘Goal’ that time – I was playing myself and I looked a bit awkward.

“Tom hasn’t offered acting lessons yet, or any parts either.”
