Jessica Simpson believes in girls with curves
Jul 13, 2007
“Access” caught up with Kors who got the lowdown from Simpson on fashion, those plastic surgery rumors and her secret alternate career dream.
Kors told “Access Hollywood,” he decided to interview the star, because of her long-standing effect on him. “Jessica is a great friend and she’s kind of a muse,” Kors explained. “She’s the all-American girl but she’s got a little edge to her.”
“I think she would play basketball in high heels if it was up to her,” Kors told “Access.”
Jessica believes men prefer shapely girls. As for Hollywood’s fascination to be thin, she said, “I don’t get the whole rail thing.”
“I think she’s proof positive that fashion can be pretty fabulous on a curvy girl who’s petite,” Kors enthused.
Regarding the plastic surgery controversy surrounding Jessica, she dispelled recent reports suggesting she has had a breast lift. She has, however, contemplated surgery for the future.
“I said to her, ‘You know what, if it all starts to droop what are you gonna do?’ and she looked at me and said, ‘Well you know what if it droops, maybe it’s time for a tune up,’” Kors recounted.
“I asked her what else would you have done (in life career wise), and she said ‘I’d be a therapist.’ To me that would be like the job from hell, like who would want to be a therapist? When I thought about it, I was like, she is a good listener.”

Beckhams begin their American invasion
Goodbye Great Britain, hello Hollywood. Victoria and David Beckham’s American invasion has officially begun.
Thursday, the couple and their three sons — Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz left London, Heathrow bound for L.A. Crews began gathering at LAX not long after, waiting for the family’s touchdown.
On one of her last trips to America, while shooting her upcoming NBC reality special and preparing the new Beckingham Palace, Billy Bush sat down with Victoria, who is going to have to get used to a whole new crop of ladies, falling in love with the sight of her man. Posh however is ready, having dealt with people calling her hunk “hot” for years.
“I know,” she laughed. “Everyone always says that. I’m proud of him and he is gorgeous. He’s even more gorgeous on the inside. It’s funny whenever anyone goes out with us they say ‘David’s so gorgeous and she’s so funny.’ I’m sick of being funny, you know what I mean? I want to be fit.”
As gorgeous as she is witty, the fit, Victoria is already winning over America once again. Fans will get to know the all grown up Spice mom, on Monday night as her NBC Special — “Victoria Beckham: Coming To America,” premieres. Once a multiple part reality TV series, the show was cut to just one episode earlier this summer so Posh could be at her family’s side.
(MSNBC is a joint venture between NBC and Microsoft.)
“My husband got recalled to play for England, for the national side, so I wanted to be there supporting him. I wanted to be there with the kids, so I had to cut a bit of a hole in my filming schedule,” Beckham explains. “I love my work. I take it very, very seriously, but predominately I’m a mom, I’m a wife and I want to do my thing but I want to be there for my family.”
Posh is tight with her family and also with her famous friends, though the Beckham’s most famous Hollywood buddies won’t be sharing Scientology services.
“I’m not a scientologist, no,” Victoria confirms. “I think, that a lot of people want to ask us the question about Tom and Katie — do they talk to us about it? They do their thing, we do our thing. No one has tried to push anything on us. We respect everybody! Everyone’s different, everyone has their thing, and for me as long as people are happy, I don’t really care what they do!

Cameron, Britney find romance with new boys
Diaz reportedly dating David de Rothschild; Spears dating bodyguard
If there is no romance at present, De Rothschild, an easy-on-the-eyes Englishman, certainly wouldn’t be a bad future match for Cameron. He’d extend Diaz’s trend of dating younger men — he’s 28 to her 34 years — and he’s certainly not someone likely to woo the actress for her fame or wealth. The 6-foot-4 Brit is an heir to a major banking fortune and well known in his native country.
He also has a major passion for the environment. De Rothschild runs Sculpt the Future, a non-profit foundation aimed at encouraging people to find new ways to change and improve their communities and environment. As for Spears, her post-Timberlake days have been tough. She divorced the father of her two children — Kevin Federline. Her first boyfriend following that relationship — model Isaac Cohen, allegedly sold her out to the tabloids and a host of mini-romances — including a rumored one with musician Howie Day reportedly failed. Britney may have found her new rock, however, in an old associate. The singer has been spotted on romantic nights out with bodyguard Damon, according to Us Weekly.
“He’s her bodyguard and manny,” the source said. “They’re not dating.”
"He had a little brush with fame a year ago. He was the moustached security guard who kept Britney from tripping when she was holding her baby in her arms," People's Galina Espinoza told Access. "He's back. She has rehired him as her bodyguard and her manny and that's why he's been out and about with her lately."
As for Timberlake, he appears to be going strong with his new lady, actress Jessica Biel. The “I Now Pronounced You Larry and Chuch” star reportedly joined Timberlake several times on his summer European tour, where snappers caught them in Manchester, England, in a tender kissing session.

Money no object when celebrities say ‘I do’
The celebrity wedding is the Super Bowl of event planning. Since budgets are typically a non-issue, superstar nuptials are beyond lavish. But it's the access enjoyed by celebrities that truly differentiates their receptions from those of even the very wealthy. Renowned designers personally oversee made-to-order gowns; celebrity chefs are wrangled to handle catering; and even venues typically off-limits or prohibitively expensive to the general public are fair game for the famous.
In Forbes' first-ever search for the 20 most expensive celebrity weddings, we surveyed A-list nuptials during the past 20 years. (Our estimates are not adjusted for inflation.) We factored in estimates for all the major components of a wedding and reception — the venue, flowers, catering, entertainment and gown. (Honeymoons were not included.) Forbes only considered weddings where information was available.
When possible, we considered miscellaneous expenses.
For example, Donald Trump and Melania Knauss hired upscale "floral designer" Preston Bailey to manage their wedding. His fees typically begin at $100,000. (Compare that with the cost of the typical American wedding, which on average costs roughly $26,800, according to The Wedding Report, an annual survey of wedding trends.)
The figures on this list are best estimates given available information. Forbes made every effort to solicit feedback and comment from the celebrities on this list. Forbes determined the tie-breakers based on available information.
Exclusive coverage awarded to various magazines — now a common component of the celebrity wedding — was also used to gather information. In some cases, celebrities donated the proceeds of the sale of their wedding photos. People magazine reportedly paid $1 million for exclusive access to the 1991 wedding of Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky at Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch. Taylor then donated the monies to AIDS research. Paul McCartney and Heather Mills are believed to have turned down various offers for coverage. Instead, they sold pictures from their 2002 wedding to whoever was willing to shell out £1000 ($1,600), with the proceeds going to their pet charities.
Selling rights to cover the wedding is one way for celebrities to control the media maelstrom surrounding their nuptials. Tiger Woods foiled paparazzi plans by renting the entire Sandy Lane Resort on Barbados, plus the island's only helicopter charter company, when he and his bride Elin Nordegren wed there in 2004. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones required all guests at their 2000 wedding in New York City to arrive with their invites, which had been embossed with holograms to thwart crashers who might have dummied fake invitations.
Yet other celebrity couples seem to relish the limelight. The ill-fated Manhattan marriage of Liza Minnelli and David Gest in 2002 caused a near standstill of city traffic thanks to the caravan of limousines dropping off celebrity guests like Mia Farrow, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson (the best man) to the church. They then had to wade through a battalion of photographers to attend the ceremony.
When Mariah Carey wed Sony Music boss Tommy Mottola in 1993, she paraded before photographers and onlookers decked out in a poofy Vera Wang ivory silk confection, tailed by a 27-foot train and topped off with a diamond-encrusted tiara, a la Princess Diana. (The comparisons didn't end there. Fifty flower girls tended to her, and she walked down the aisle of New York's St. Thomas Church serenaded by a boys' choir.)
Marc Anthony and Dayanara Torres, who renewed their vows in San Juan in 2002, held their reception at the Cuartel de Ballaja, a Spanish garrison built in 1854. It's an unusual, if not off-limits, venue for a wedding. But stars on the whole enjoy access to some of the most exclusive locales on the planet for their ceremonies and receptions.
Castles are a recurring theme. Six of the couples on the list tied the knot in fairy-tale settings. Both Madonna and actress Ashley Judd wed at Scotland's Skibo Castle, now a sporting club. Accommodations cost non-members roughly $2,200 a day. (See " High Life In The Highlands .")
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wed at the privately owned Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy, in November of 2006. Elizabeth Hurley and businessman Arun Nayar wed twice in March, both times in castles. The first ceremony was held in the U.K., at the Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire. A few days later a second, Hindu ceremony occurred at the Uman Bhawan Palace, where suites fetch as much as $10,000 a night.
Another popular celebrity wedding destination: the backyard. Tori Spelling wed Charlie Shanian in 2004 at the 56,000-foot Beverly Hills estate of her father, famed TV producer Aaron Spelling. Elton John and David Furnish celebrated their 2005 union at John's Windsor Estate, where guests milled about in two giant tents erected on his lawn. Liz Taylor married Larry Fortensky in 1991 at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, in Los Olivos, Calif. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston tied the knot in 2000 at the Malibu estate of TV producer Marcy Carsey.
Donald Trump and Melania Knauss held their 2005 wedding reception in the Versailles-inspired ballroom of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.
And proof that like begets like, celebrities often recruit their famous pals for wedding assistance.
Madonna enlisted designer Stella McCartney (Paul's daughter) to design her gown; Tom Cruise secured his dear friend Georgio Armani to design Katie Holmes' gowns (there were two). The original celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck catered Tori Spelling's affair. On the menu: herb-crusted rack of lamb. Natalie Cole sang "Unforgettable" at the reception for Liza Minnelli and David Gest; pop-rock band Hootie & the Blowfish performed at Tiger Woods' wedding.
Even celebrities, however, can't pay for guarantees. Forty percent of the couples on this list ultimately split — proof, perhaps, that even in Hollywood, money can't buy love.

Paris Hilton's special treatment in jail under investigation
Allegations that Paris Hilton received special treatment during her 23 day incarceration for violating her parole in a DUI case have been brought to the attention of The Sheriff's Department, by the department's union, and are being investigated.
According to sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore, it has been alleged that Hilton was given free access to a cordless phone so she did not have to wait in line for the payphone like other inmates, she was given a new jail uniform instead of a recycled one given to many inmates and her mail was delivered by a captain instead of inmate trusties.
Whitmore clarified that the allegations are at variance with the department's own information about the incarceration.
"We're going to investigate it and get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what happened," he said.

Marriage turned Avril Lavigne from 'a tomboy kid to a real woman'
Singer Avril Lavigne has revealed that marriage has transformed her from a tomboy to a real woman.
The Canadian rock sensation, who married Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley a year ago, admitted that she was a rock chick when she entered the music industry, but added that she has turned into a true woman after tying the knot.
"I've changed a lot over the past five years. I was a very young 17-year-old and I came from a small town. I had different clothes and a different hairstyle. I've gone from being a tomboy kid to being a woman,” the Daily Mail quoted her, as saying.
However, the ‘Complicated’ singer said that despite growing up fast, she hasn’t lost her rock sensibilities, and is still a “crazy” rock chic.
"Everyone can see the changes in me. But underneath I'm the same. I'm not sitting here in a Chanel dress. I wear heels and a dress once in a while, but I still have my rock sensibility,” she said.
"Off stage, I'm actually quite shy. I might get a bit crazy when I'm around my friends, but I'm not a big talker,” she added.

Final Harry Potter book to be leaked early?
Harry Potter fans may be laying their hands on the final book in the series earlier than expected, for speculation is rising that some shops are getting ready to sell the book early.
This comes even though retailers have given written undertakings that they will only sell the book on July 21, the official publication date.
In the past, retailers have stuck to the embargo laid down by Bloomsbury because Rowling’s publishers have threatened to not to let them sell the future Potter books.
However, since ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ is the final book in the series, Katherine Rushton from The Bookseller magazine thinks that one just might break the embargo.
"Because it’s the final Harry Potter, Bloomsbury doesn’t have that same power. It has played its last ace card," the Telegraph quoted her, as saying.
"It’s quite possible one will break the embargo. They’d do it to be first, and for all the PR," she said.
Bloomsbury also said that in case someone did break they embargo, they were not only hoping that the public would stay away from the ‘spoilsport retailer’, but that the offender would also be in for some massive backlash.
"If such a thing were to happen, we believe that the public would make their feelings known by not buying it from such a spoilsport retailer. It is our intention to vigorously enforce the embargo if required," a rep said.
To make sure that the book is not sold ahead of its date, Bloomsbury has had retailers sign an agreement stating that not only will the books be kept "in a secure area under lock and key" so that they not be "visible to the public for any reason", but has also not permitted staff to take photographs of the moment Bloomsbury delivers the final book to retailers.

Spice Girls to bring Girl Power to Brazil as well
The Spice Girls are all set to include Brazil in their reunion world tour itinerary.
The pressure to play in South America has been mounting ever since the girls announced that they will be performing in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Brazil’s arch rival.
Politicians have even questioned the snub in parliament and a website has collected thousands of signatures pleading the girls to cast their magic in Brazil also.
“The Spice Girls will make a big announcement next week. Everybody in the Spice camp has been bombarded by Brazilian fans demanding the band bring Girl Power to Brazil,” The Sun quoted a source, as saying.
“Doing Buenos Aires and not Rio would be a massive faux pas. One of the dates is definitely going to be Brazil,” the source added.

'Paris is naive', says little sis Nicky Hilton
Socialite Paris Hilton’s kid sister Nicky claims that her older sibling is ‘naive’ and trusts people too easily.
The 23-year-old said that her sister gives people ‘the benefit of the doubt’ and lands up getting hurt.
“It is very difficult to trust people. I mean a lot of people have ulterior motives and are just scumbags. But Paris is so naive when it comes to all of that,’ the Sun quoted her, as saying.
"She gives people the benefit of the doubt and then gets hurt. I always warn her,” she added.
The designer also said that she and Paris draw a lot of attention because they are working woman despite being heiresses.
"I think there are so many heiresses and socialites, and a lot of them don't really do anything. I think it kind of shocks people that Paris and I don't really have to work, but we do,” she said.
"She has fragrances, books, movies, jewelery lines. I have a bag line and a clothing line. We're working girls and we're so young, too,” she said

John Abraham embarrassed by Bipasha - Ronaldo 'liplock' reports
Man United's Portuguese football ace Cristiano Ronaldo’s whisper in Bipashsa’s ear, famously labeled a “lip lock” by tabloid press in the UK and India, has reached John Abraham who is shooting in Pondicherry for Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayein.
“John was pretty cool and mingling with everyone on the sets till the day before evening.
The normally affable John has reacted by withdrawing himself from what is going on in the unit. He confines himself to his room, emerging only when he is scheduled to give a shot.
“…yesterday he only came out of his make-up room when he was called for the shot. He shot for the film, but it was very clear that he was very embarrassed. It is still very unclear whether he had spoken to Bipasha after this news had come out," adds the source.
We have some unsolicited advice for John. Take a look at the photo above. You know how Bipashsa lip locks. Does it look she is about to do that?

Keeping Up With The Beckhams
Posh meets the girls for a spicy dinner... It's been a busy week for the Beckhams, that started with the news that Posh, Ginger and Baby have been meeting for dinner and talks about a possible Spice Girls reunion.
A source close to the group was reported as saying "Now Take That have proven it can be done, it's on the cards more than ever. It's taken a while but the girls seem to be warming to the idea."
Though it may not have been a reunion that the trio were discussing, it could well have been Simon Fuller's current plan – 'Spice Girls: The Musical'!
It's been suggested that, inspired by the success of Spice World, the millionaire man behind the phenomenon thinks he can squeeze a bit more dosh out of his creation by taking them to the West End in a story about their lives.
Presumably the girls won't be in the play, however, not since Posh is currently upping sticks and moving to LA.
The move hit a small hurdle this week, however, as strict US laws - laws that are so tight even friends of Tom Cruise must abide by them - mean the Beckhams will have to learn to live without her usual crew of tough nuts.
None of their eight most loyal minders have been allowed entry visa's, which leaves the Beckham's short on security while their three children are going to miss the men they've apparently come to see as uncles. It's a tough break for the tough nuts.
And though settling in somewhere new, especially without your minders, can be hard, it can only help to have friends like J Lo and husband Marc Anthony to hand.
Dave and Marc apparently talk on the phone a lot, while Jen confesses to thinking Victoria's got "amazing taste."
Yep, you and the rest of the world Jen...

Posh- They’re Not That Big!
Yes she is talking about those famous bosoms ahead of her American TV debut… Victoria Beckham has hit out at critics of her large breasts in an online ad for her new US reality show.
In the clip Posh is seen with gossip queen Perez Hilton. When he admits to calling her “a robot with really big boobs” she gets up and shouts “Do they seriously look that big?”
Then Mrs Becks who’s moving to the States this month ahead of the Spice Girls reunion points to her chest and says: “They’re not that big in the flesh.”VB’s bosoms have been the subject of speculation for years with many claiming she’s had plastic surgery.
In the excerpt from her TV show- called Victoria Beckham- Coming To America she also hits out at the press joking: “I don’t want to ruin my image- I don’t want to be seen smiling, having fun or eating!”
The rather staged programme goes out Stateside this Monday 16 July on NBC and while she’s won over Tom Cruise it remains to be seen how the US public will take to the Beckhams….

Victoria Beckham doesn't want to be a movie star
Jul 10, 2007
Victoria Beckham insists that she will not be seen on the big screen when she moves to the US.
Posh Spice, who along with her former bandmates recently announced that they would be getting back together for a world tour, revealed that she has no plans of signing on to star in movies, for she "really wasn't that good" in the 1997 film ‘Spice World’.
"I must be the only person in LA that doesn't want to be in films," she told journalists in a phone conference.
She also insisted that she would not be using the Spice Girls’ reunion tour to launch a solo career.
"I'm certainly not using this as a springboard to launch any sort of solo career, you'll be glad to hear," she said.
"I want my kids to see mummy on the stage doing what I used to do and I want David to see it again," she added.
But the singer turned jeans designer will have her own reality show to keep her busy. She is to star in a show that covers the couple’s move from Spain to the US shortly.

'Liz Hurley started trend of fame seeking celebs', says Newton
Actress Thandie Newton believes that fellow Brit Elizabeth Hurley is the one who started off the trend of fame seeking celebs.
And, Newton believes that by doing so she started off the trend of celebs vying for the spotlight.
"Celebrity these days is just about wearing something plunging on the red carpet. There's such a hunger for fast-food celebrity. I think Liz Hurley wearing that Versace dress started it all but anyone can wear a gorgeous dress," she told Daily Express.
"When you ask a kid these days what they want to be they say, 'I want to be famous.' That didn't happen when we were little. You wanted to be famous for a reason," she added.
She will now be seen on the big screen in the romantic comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run, to be directed by former Friends star David Schwimmer.

Lindsay Lohan to do a raunchy striptease in upcoming flick
Actress Lindsay Lohan is set to cling on to her wild ways in her upcoming film ‘I Know Who Killed Me’, in which she plays a pole dancer.
The actress, who is undergoing a stint at a rehab after she was arrested for drunk driving, will sizzle on screen with some raunchy stripping sessions.
Lohan underwent rigorous training for the role, as she combined striptease classes with yoga sessions and ballet practice.
She agrees that it is not an easy task, for she is now left with bruises all over her body.
“I've been in pole dancing lessons, every day for four hours. I have bruises all over. That's why I haven't worn shorts,” the Daily Mail quoted her, as saying.
"Her character is a stripper, and she now realizes that the job isn't easy," her spokesperson Leslie Sloane added.
Lohan has had a brief stint at pole dancing in real life too, as she sizzled in a steamy session with model Kate Moss at New York club Scores.

Beyonce drinks her vodka straight from the bottle!

It seems that singer Beyonce and her beau Jay Z partied so hard that the Beautiful Liar star could not wait for as glass, as she drank P.I.N.K. vodka straight out of the bottle.
Last week, the ‘Dangerously in Love’ hit maker visited Stereo-by-the-Shore with the entertainment mogul.
A source said that the 25-year-old said that she did not mind that she did not bother to wait for a glass.
"Beyoncé said she didn't mind - she didn't want to wait for a glass," New York Daily News quoted a witness, as saying.

Paris Hilton lightens up
After having repeatedly asserted on Larry King Live that she has never taken drugs, Paris Hilton was once again seen smoking marijuana, something that she had been observed to do several times before her recent incarceration and later interview on nation television.
Not just everyone else, even Paris Hilton couldn't have taken her "No" to Larry King's "Taken drugs?" question seriously.
The fact that she reiterated her "No" when Larry King immediately pushed harder with, "Never taken drugs?" obviously was not weighing on the mind of the lightheaded heiress when she stepped out of her SUV in front of Hollywood club Teddy's recently.
Page Six reports a witness described her as emerging from a cloud of marijuana smoke.
"She took a huge puff off of a joint, then opened the door and exhaled the pot smoke basically in my face," one clubgoer said.
While Paris has no inhibitions about lying on national TV she isn't ready to go back to prison, because she had someone with her to drive her around.

Victoria Beckham Downplays Her ‘Diva’ Ways For American Audience
Former ‘Spice Girl’ Victoria Beckham’s reality TV show ‘Victoria Beckham: Coming to America’ premiers next week but she warns her American audience that she is no Diva but "just a normal girl from London.”
"It's funny. People really get to see what I'm really like. I have quite a dry sense of humor, which I hope is going to translate to Americans," the 33 year-old told Access Hollywood.
The show will capture Posh’s move from Europe to United States for her husband's July 21 debut with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.
"This isn't a reality show, it's a documentary about me," Beckham said. "I'm incredibly blessed and I wanted to show that to everybody."
The devoted mother of three Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 4, and Cruz, 2, also told she is focused on developing her signature line of clothing, sunglasses and perfume.
"That's my passion and that's what I'm good at," she said about her brand name.
The NBC show Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, originally a six-episode series, will air only a one-hour special instead on July 16 at 8 p.m.

Criss Angel Responds To Wife Accusing of Cheating With Cameron Diaz
Illusionist Criss Angel responded to the recently made accusation by his soon-to-be ex wife's lawyer that actress Cameron Diaz was the reason for their split, calling it a desperate act to ‘accomplish their ends’.
“It is with great sadness and disappointment that I feel the need to dignify and refute the inaccuracies, blatant lies and misrepresentations that my estranged wife and her attorney made last week in a New York courtroom and continue to make in the press,” told Angel in a statement released Sunday, reports Us magazine.
"I have always supported [JoAnn Sarantakos'] every expense in the past prior to her filing for divorce in May of 2006 and continue to do so to this day," Angel responded to the accusations of not supporting Sarantakos financially.
Sarantakos told last week that Angel had insisted on keeping their marriage of 5 years a secret to preserve his sex appeal to his female fans.
"Our marriage was well known to my friends and all of my fans worldwide. She was featured prominently in the first two seasons of my show. She and her family were thanked and credited in every episode and in my recent autobiography," said Angel.
"The fact that they have tried to use Cameron Diaz to accomplish their ends is a sign of their desperation...Cameron and I met in May of this year at the VH1 Rock Honors show, over a year after JoAnn’s initial filing...Cameron is a good friend and an amazing person and to defame her and myself and paint her as the reason for my marriage’s demise is factually inaccurate, ridiculous and just plain wrong."

Victoria Beckham on the diva track
Even before she settles completely in the US, Victoria Beckham has notched up showbiz successes such as her reality show Victoria Beckham: Coming to America and the reunion of the Spice Girls. Not surprisingly she has also acquired some attitude to go with her success.
The 33-year-old who has been getting intense paparazzi attention, has acquired an obvious distaste for the press that relentlessly pries into her private life, repeatedly exposing her disinclination for underwear, for example.
Taking a cue from Angelina Jolie, who forced reporters covering the promotion of her recent film, A Mighty Heart, to sign contracts restricting their questions to her professional life, Victoria has drawn up a contract that stipulates that all interviews with her would be used for the "sole purpose of publicizing Victoria Beckham: Coming to America.

"And I said, 'Yeah, of course I am.' She said, 'But you seem so confident.' And I said, 'Because I am confident! It doesn't mean I don't have my moments," she said.
"But you have to remember the value of your individuality - that you have something special and different to offer that nobody else can.' She said, 'Oh, I love hearing this. What you're saying is so great!' It was really sweet," she added.
The two women have formed a firm friendship since their first meeting, with Posh even giving JLo a few fashion tips.

The paparazzi don’t like it when some of the hottest women in town start dating Justin Timberlake, for though it gets them great photos, it also means that the sweet and friendly females suddenly turn surly and rude.
Timberlake’s rumored current flame actress Jessica Biel was always nice to the snappers, before she hooked with the R&B star.
A snapper said that of late, ‘The Illusionist’ actress seems to have become ‘surly and rude’, now that she is with the ‘Sexyback’ singer.
"She's been rude and surly. She used to pose for us nicely, and now that she's with JT, she flips us off, hides her head and swears at us. We call it the 'Justin Timberlake Affliction’,” the New York Daily News quoted a snapper, as saying. (ANI)

Avril Lavigne rejects copy claim
Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne has denied copying a song by 1970s rock band The Rubinoos. Songwriters Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer allege Lavigne's recent hit single Girlfriend was lifted from their 1979 song I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.
But Lavigne said she has "never in my life heard of" the band and says her song has "no musical similarities".
"Their claim is based on five words," she wrote on her website. "All songs share similar lyrics and emotions."
Dunbar and Gangwer launched a legal case against Lavigne in a US District Court in San Francisco last week.
They alleged that "the lyric, the meter, the rhythm" of the Canadian star's song were "identical" to their tune.
'Falsely accused'
But Lavigne reacted angrily to the claims in a message headed "to my dear media, friends, and fans".
"Simply put, I have been falsely accused of ripping their song off," she said.
"Luke [Gottwald, songwriter] and I have done nothing wrong and there is no merit to their claim."
The 22-year-old singer went on to say that the lyrical conceit of Girlfriend could be compared to other hit records.
"Off the top of my head, two other songs that I can immediately think of with this type of lyric are 'Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud' by the Rolling Stones and 'Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend' by the Ramones," she said.
"As humans we speak one language."
New wave group The Rubinoos toured and recorded from 1975 to 1983 and had a hit with a cover version of Tommy James and the Shondells' I Think We're Alone Now.
They also wrote the theme song for the movie Revenge of the Nerds.
Lavigne, best known for hits such as Complicated and Sk8er Boi, recently scooped the award for favourite Canadian artist at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto.
The legal case will be heard in Oakland, California, on 28 August.
