Victoria Beckham - Numero' magazine, March 2012

In her first magazine shoot since giving birth to daughter Harper Seven in July, Victoria Beckham sheds much of her clothes (why, of course) for Japanese Numero' magazine.

On the cover of the March 2012 edition of the magazine, she looks even better, in a blue Burberry trench and perfect hair and makeup.

What do you think of the shoot? A bit over seeing new mums getting their gear off? Or, 'more power to her'?

Heidi Klum and Seal confirm their divorce. Why does this bother us?

In celeb news just in: Heidi Klum and Seal confirm that they are splitting after almost seven years of marriage.

In an exclusive statement to WHO's sister publication People, the Project Runway host and the singer say:

"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate.

"We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.

"We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children's sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."

The couple are parents to Leni, 7, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2. In fact, the model and TV presenter, 38, and singer, 48, began dating in 2003 after Klum had split from Italian race car team manager Flavio Briatore, and while she was pregnant with Flavio's child Leni.

In December 2004, Seal proposed with a yellow diamond ring (she never took that bauble off, not surprisingly).

The web had been abuzz with talk of their split for the past day (Seal's Twitter post sent it into overdrive with this: The End. tadaa.im/wY0Zu #tadaa).

Talk shows this morning discussed the end of their marriage with sadness, (it's as if we all knew them!), in disbelief, even disappointment.

It begs the question: why our surprise?

Why did they seem to be the poster couple for the most enduring, exciting, still-madly-in-love marriage?

A point brought up by the Today show's 'Girls on the Grill' segment today was: why the public renewal of their wedding vows every year? (Was it even 'public'? Or did the spying paps make it look like it was?). Another assertion: the more a couple screams look at us, look at how in love we are, the more one should suspect it's all for show.

What do you think? Why the shock?

And who is your 'poster couple' for an enduring union (Barack and Michelle; Wills and Kate; Goldie and Kurt...?)

Shit Fashion Girls Say

This one - a new clip from the Shit Girls Say series - could be my fave one yet: Shit Fashion Girls Say.

Can you see yourself anywhere in this clip?

Embarrassingly, I can (ahem, "Did you see Gossip Girl this week? I want, like, all of Blake's clothes.")

Ifidie - Facebook status updates... beyond the grave

Have you seen this new app called 'ifidie'?

That's, 'If I Die'.

Essentially, it's a Facebook app that allows you to leave a message on Facebook - via video or text - that will only be published after you die.

You then choose three 'trustees' (basically, three Facebook friends you can trust... c'mon, in amongst the 300+ people you call 'pals' there must be a trio of people you can share more than just a show-off status update with...?), and they, um, execute your wishes after you cark it.

Watch the video, below:

And for more info, go here: http://ifidie.net/

So, would you?

I guess it's the best way to let people know you're no longer on the planet. How else will people who you barely see know why your witty Facebook status updates have stopped suddenly? Surely not everyone knows your Facebook password to post the news of your untimely death?

So... yes or no?
