A YOUTHFUL David Beckham is seen giving fans a tour around the modest home he first shared with wife Victoria in an unearthed clip.

In an interview from 1997, a then 22-year-old David proudly showed off his detached home in Hazlehurst Road, Worsley, Salford, which he reportedly purchased directly from the developer for a mere £150,000.

At the time, Becks was just breaking into the first-team fold at Manchester United and gave Sky Sports presenter Rob McCaffery the opportunity to snoop around his house.

In the clip, the footballer began the tour in his living room which boasted magnolia-painted walls, cream-coloured leather couches and dark drapes.

Notably, David showed off a life-size cardboard cutout of himself “that his girlfriend’s [Victoria’s] mum had wanted” sitting on his VHS tapes.

He also flaunted a framed photo of him with the 1996/97 PFA Young Player of the Year that his dad gave him while showing off his plethora of trophies that were sitting on his window sill.

Moving into the kitchen, presenter Rob found a bag of Walkers crisps with David’s future wife on the front.

The sports star, who only began dating Victoria that same year, said: “It’s sometimes embarrassing when you want a big bag of Walkers crisps and you go and get a big bag of Walkers crisps and it’s got your girlfriend on the front.”

He then showed off his fridge which was filled with Muller Corner yogurts, strawberries, Toffee Crisp bars he was sent and a few bottles of champagne.

The former LA Galaxy ace also gave his fans a glimpse of his ‘walk-in wardrobe’, which was just several standing racks in the corner of his master bedroom.

At the time, the presenter teased David over his ‘massive’ shoe collection, which was 15 pairs of trainers, and asked him to pick out his favourite shirts.

The Cribs-style tour happened shortly before the couple sold the four-bedroom property for £190,000 – pocketing a £40,000 profit – and moved into their £2.5million Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire.

Victoria, 47, previously spoke to the Manchester Evening News in 2008 about their Worsley home and said they had “such fond memories”.

She said at the time: “When we were last in Manchester for the Spice Girls gig David and I drove back to that house in Hazelhurst Road to have a look.

“There are such fond memories for us – of the Trafford Centre and all that kind of thing.

“I know David misses Manchester as well and still keeps in touch with everyone.”

According to The Daily Star, their first home in Manchester last went up for sale in 2014, with an asking price of between £375,000 and £400,000.

More recently, the couple have called their £31million Holland Park mansion home since 2013.

The pair spent an estimated £8million on renovation work for the six-bedroom Grade II-listed townhouse in 2016.

While their main residence is in London, David and Victoria split their time between their £6million Cotswold bolthole and modern Miami apartment worth £19million.

Selena Gomez admitted that she feels ‘sick’ when she looks back at how she used to view herself.

The Wizards of Waverly Place actress admitted it ‘bums [her] out’ to look back on how critical she was on herself when she was younger and it has taken time to realize how important it is to ‘speak to yourself with kindness’.

However, this is not a foreign concept to the Kill Em with Kindness singer as she has been working on herself for quite some time.

Since her 2015 album Revival, the singer slash actress had publicly used her music as a platform to release her feelings.

Her 2022 documentary My Mind and Me – which was filmed over six years and detailed how she struggled with confidence issues, suicidal thoughts that led to her bipolar disorder diagnosis and burnout – had changed how she treated herself.

Selena admitted on a SXSW panel titled Mindfulness Over Perfection: Getting Real On Mental Health’: ‘It makes me sick to hear the things that I was saying about myself in the beginning. It bums me out.

‘But I think everybody can relate to that feeling. It’s important to speak to yourself with kindness, but I don’t think I really understood that [at the start of the film].’

The 31-year-old singer-and-actress explained she was inspired to be more open about her struggles after she watched Girl Interrupted with her mom, Mandy Teefey.

She said it prompted a discussion on the strangeness of the entertainment industry and how Selena felt she didn’t fit in during her time as a child actor.

The Disney alum noted that it is impossible to force someone to treat mental health problems before they are ready.

She reflected: ‘There was a lot of people that cared about me more than I cared about myself that really wanted me to do things I wasn’t ready for. I had my rock bottom, and I had to do it in my time.

‘It took a couple of tries, but I like to think and hope I’m in a much better place now.’

The star faced judgment not only in her career while as a child actor, but in her personal relationships.

Gomez famously dated popstar Justin Bieber and were on and off from 2010 to 2018 before permanently calling it quits.

Two months after breaking up with the Canadian native, he was engaged to model Hailey Baldwin – now Bieber.

This prompted her to release Lose You to Love Me which fans speculate is about him.

Travis Kelce has called girlfriend Taylor Swift ‘the biggest and best thing possible’ after talking about his whirlwind trip to see her in Australia last month.

 

The NFL star landed in Sydney on February 22 to meet up with his popstar girlfriend after his Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs and watch her perform one of her Eras Tour shows.

The A-list couple were also pictured on a day out at Sydney Zoo before Kelce took his place at Accor Stadium to watch his girlfriend perform in front of yet another sold-out crowd.

The couple were reportedly staying together at the high-end hotel Crown Towers in a suite that runs up over $16,300 USD ($25,000 AUD).

However, the couple’s reunion was short and sweet as Kelce boarded a flight just a couple of days later to return to the US for more celebrations with the Chiefs in Las Vegas.

The Australia reunion came less than two weeks after Swift watched Kelce win the Super Bowl

Speaking on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, Kelce was full of praise for his lover’s talent and admitted he had a great time Down Under.

When asked by brother Jason ‘what the hell is your life right now?’, Kelce said: ‘Well dude it’s a wild ride. I will tell you this, Australia did not disappoint.

‘Only went to Sydney, got a lot of friends I’ve met over the years that are out there in Melbourne and definitely want to get out there and see you guys and see what Melbourne has to offer.

‘But Sydney was a beautiful city, I want to say similar to Miami, a lot of intercoastal, it was cool to say the layout of the land over there, let alone the zoo and seeing the exotic animals.’

Jason interrupted his brother and asked how the couple were pictured as they walked around the zoo together.

Kelce continued: ‘There were full on helicopters just flying around.

‘They helicoptered us, well not us. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and the best thing possible.’

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce touched down in Sydney on Thursday morning and the Style singer wasted no time showing him the Harbour City. Both

At one point the couple were spotted leisurely strolling, with their arms wrapped around each other lovingly. Pictured

Swift and Kelce’s visit to Sydney Zoo was criticized by animal rights organization PETA.

The animal rights nonprofit organization released a statement saying the couple should ‘spend their time and money at a true sanctuary,’ instead.

Talking about their day out together, Kelce said: ‘One of my favorite things – the zookeeper showing us the red panda, we had to go in a cage just to go and see the panda in the panda area.

‘And they are like “alright, make sure that door is closed when you get out. Quickly close this one because they are escape artists” and I was like this thing has got so many brownie points from me. These things are escape artists.’

Talking about their encounter with lions, Kelce continued: ‘Dude when you hear that roar – Taylor taking a picture and you see three of them run down from their perch knowing they are about to get fed, you see how fast and agile that thing is, it’s over.

‘You could tell one was the like big, bad – I was like damn, that’s a bad man right there. It was fun.’

TikTok users were quick to praise Kelce for the sweet act, with one commenting: ‘So kind of him to always participate with the Swifties’ (Kelce is pictured with Rita Ora at the show)

In one clip from the Eras Tour show, a grinning Kelce could be seen trading friendship bracelets with Swifties. In another, he waved at screaming fans as he walked by.

Later in the show, Swift had an encore of her altered ‘Karma’ lyric, where she once again sang out ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ instead of ‘guy on the screen’.

Talking about the show, Kelce said: ‘Sydney did not disappoint. The crowds there are already rowdy, they were just a little bit louder than the Argentina crowd.

‘I was not expecting that because Argentina was f***ing loud. They were into it, so was Sydney.

‘Taylor is very fond of performing in Australia because of the crowds over there and how into it they get.’

When Jason pointed out there were a number of Kelce jerseys in the crowd, Travis replied: ‘There were a few. There’s a good American football crowd out there and Taylor fans, I think they wanted to show support.

‘It’s pretty f***ing cool just having your jersey being worn, even if it is just on a day or at a football game.’

Swifties have gone wild as a number of them have claimed that Jason Kelce made a reference to one of Taylor Swift‘s 2012 hits in his emotional retirement speech, earlier on Monday.

While talking about his relationship with his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in a press conference held by the Eagles, Jason was fighting back tears, but Swift fans noticed that he made a subtle mention of the popstar.

 

‘I found my career being fulfilled in the City of Brotherly Love,’ Jason, 36, said at first. ‘I knew that relationship all too well…’

Swifties on X couldn’t help but to point out an apparent reference to Swift’s song, ‘All Too Well,’ later on;

‘Jason Kelce just quoted ”All too well” in his retirement speech. Love it so much,’ a person tweeted.

Swifties claim the former Eagles center made subtle mentions to Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ and ‘Wildest Dreams’ in his speech

‘Not Jason Kelce making a Taylor Swift reference in his retirement speech,’ shared another user, adding: ‘Jason Kelce is the biggest Swiftie.’

A different individual said she was ‘not ok’ after ‘Jaisn [sic] made a too well reference.’

The references didn’t stop there, with Kelce later saying in his speech: ‘If you go above and beyond for this city, you will be rewarded above your wildest dreams.’

‘Wildest Dreams,’ is one of Swift’s early-day hits and is included in her 2014 album, ‘1989,’ which was updated and released once more in October as ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version).’

‘Not Jason Kelce adding ”all too well” and ”wildest dreams” to his retirement speech he loves us,’ a user on X tweeted on Monday.

Another pointed out that ‘Jason Kelce retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons and dropping ”All Too Well” and ”Wildest Dreams” in his retirement speech is so swiftie coded.’

‘So far, Jason Kelce has said “All Too Well” and “Wildest Dreams” in his retirement speech. I’m never, ever going to shut up about that,’ said someone else.

The six-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowl selection started 205 games for the Eagles, including the postseason.

Drafted in the sixth round (191st overall) in 2011, Kelce became a Super Bowl LII champion and one of the most durable, decorated and respected centers in NFL history — and one of the league’s most passionate players.

In the midst of rumors and challenges surrounding maintaining physique with age, legendary boxing icon Mike Tyson continues to astonish the world as a series of his latest photos emerge, showcasing less change than anticipated.

With the latest images recently unveiled, Mike Tyson – once heavyweight champion and a global boxing icon – still retains a powerful physique and robust muscles as ever. This has left fans amazed and applauding his spirit and commitment to training and nutritional discipline.

The newest snapshots of Tyson, captured in a variety of recent activities and events, depict consistency in his physique over the years. Despite crossing the age of 50, Tyson maintains a remarkable physique, a testament to his relentless commitment to training and health care.

The appearance of these photos has sparked a wave of positive reactions from fans, particularly those who have followed Tyson’s career from his peak days to the present. Many believe Tyson’s patience and effort serve as a significant inspiration for future generations, not only in boxing but in life in general.

In a recent interview, Tyson shared insights into the training regimen and nutritional regime he adheres to in order to keep his body in peak condition. He also admitted that, despite challenges and difficulties, his passion and determination for maintaining health always come first. While people continue to be amazed by Mike Tyson’s remarkable physique over the years, he remains a vivid testament to the importance of prioritizing training, health, and determination in life.

In the annals of boxing history, few names resonate with as much power and mystique as that of Mike Tyson. Revered as a titan of the sport, Tyson’s journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of boxing glory is a tale that captivates and inspires.

Born into adversity, Tyson faced numerous challenges from a young age. From a turbulent childhood marred by hardship and bullying to a tumultuous youth marked by involvement in criminal activities, Tyson’s life was fraught with obstacles.

Yet, what truly defines Tyson’s narrative is his ability to rise above adversity and emerge as a better version of himself. Unyielding determination, unwavering patience, and laser-like focus propelled him to overcome every setback and establish himself as one of the greatest athletes in sporting history.

With unmatched power and finesse, Mike Tyson dominated the boxing world during his prime, etching his name into the annals of the sport as an indomitable legend. But beyond his athletic prowess, Tyson’s story serves as a testament to the idea that no matter how daunting life’s challenges may seem, resilience and determination can propel an individual to extraordinary heights.

In the realm of boxing legends, few names evoke as much awe and respect as Mike Tyson. Renowned for his unparalleled power and ferocity in the ring during his prime, Tyson’s presence in the boxing world remains iconic. However, as time progresses, questions naturally arise about how age may have tempered the once-unstoppable force that was Iron Mike.

Recent revelations have provided intriguing insights into Tyson’s current physical prowess compared to his formidable past. A series of photos capturing Tyson in various stages of his career, juxtaposed with images of the present day, offer a compelling visual narrative of the boxing legend’s enduring strength.

The images paint a vivid portrait of Tyson’s transformation over the years. In his prime, Tyson’s muscular physique and intense gaze exuded dominance and fearlessness, striking fear into the hearts of opponents. The raw power behind his punches was legendary, earning him the moniker of “The Baddest Man on the Planet.”

Fast forward to the present, and while the passage of time may have inevitably brought changes, Tyson’s aura of strength and resilience remains unmistakable. Despite the inevitable effects of aging, he still possesses a commanding presence, with a physique that speaks volumes of years of dedication and training.

What is particularly striking about these images is the subtle yet unmistakable evolution in Tyson’s physique. While the rippling muscles may have slightly receded, replaced by a leaner, more refined physique, the fire in his eyes and the determination etched into his expression remain as potent as ever.

Selena Gomez is not as PG as she used to be with the actress dropping more than her fair share of F-bombs in a new interview.

The 23-year-old star sat down with GQ for an interview released Thursday, and made it clear she does not have time to worry about people judging her.

Not a kid anymore: The Wizards Of Waverly Place vet is not as PG as she used to be with the actress dropping more than her fair share of F-bombs in the new interview

The Hands To Myself songstress also made it clear she has no time for self-pity either.

Selena told GQ: ‘I didn’t have an opportunity to figure out my life without people having an opinion every step of the way.’

No doubt this has included her much discussed on and off again relationship with pop’s bad boy Justin Bieber.

Many have also criticized the 23-year-old as she went from the cherub-faced star of Wizards Of Waverly Place and to one who sings talk about 𝑠e𝑥, partying and generally not PG activities.

Growing up in the public eye: The 23-year-old (seen here earlier this month) made it clear she does not have time to worry about people judging her

Mistakes, she’s made a few: The star – who became a household name on Wizards Of Waverly Place – said , ‘I didn’t have an opportunity to figure out my life without people having an opinion every step of the way’

While that is tough, Selena does not want your pity nor her own: ‘I chose this.

‘So I’m not gonna sit here and say, ”Oh, my God, poor me, I didn’t have a normal childhood.”

‘I don’t give a f**k about that.’

 

 

 

Addressing her stint in rehab in January 2014, Selena explained to the magazine: ‘No, no, no, no, no. First off, this is something that everyone always wants to fixate on. I got diagnosed with lupus. My mom had a very public miscarriage. So I had to cancel my tour.’

Ups and downs: No doubt these issues has included her much discussed on and off again relationship with pop’s bad boy Justin Bieber (pictured 2011)

‘I needed time to just be okay. And I was going through leukemia’ – GQ noted that Selena likely meant to say chemotherapy.

‘and I went to two different locations for those treatments. It’s really frustrating, because I’m 100 percent allowed to have that, but I think people just want to have some sort of–– I understand what you’re asking but I’m just saying, I don’t think it really matters.

‘My past seems to be way more fascinating for people than my future, which bums me out… I don’t ever really like to sit and dwell on what that experience was. Was it fun? No. Is it fun to have it? No.’

New role: Selena certainly seems to have developed a taste for swear words, which may have been bolstered thanks to her part in movie Neighbors 2 (she is pictured on set)

A Missouri woman who spent nearly a week in a coma says she’s grateful to her family for singing her a Taylor Swift song that she says helped wake her up.

 

Angela Fisher went to the hospital at the end of January for a colon dissection. She had a massive bleed, so she was rushed into emergency surgery. But after she got out of surgery, she didn’t wake up.

“Everybody tells me that I almost died,” Angela Fisher said.

For nearly seven days, Angela Fisher was in a coma. Doctors even told her family to say their goodbyes – until an intensive care unit nurse made a suggestion.

“Make some noises. Do something,” said Brenda Varner, Angela Fisher’s sister, recalling the nurse’s advice.

The noise Varner and Angela’s daughter, Amanda Fisher, decided to make? One of Taylor Swift’s biggest hits. The family started belting “Shake It Off” over and over, louder and louder, next to Angela Fisher’s hospital bed.

“She had a tear,” Varner said. “It was like she was just kind of struggling barely, but we could tell that it seemed like she was hearing us.”

After the tear came a blink. These were the first signs that Angela Fisher had awoken from her coma.

“We were just thrilled. We were like, ‘Oh my gosh, she blinked,’” Amanda Fisher said.

Now on the road to recovery, Angela Fisher says she’s grateful to her family, God and the resourceful ICU nurse that inspired her sister and daughter.

“When the doctors gave up on me and told my family to tell me goodbye, she worked and worked and worked. Here I am because of her,” she said. “Miracles do happen, and it’s wonderful to be here.”

Angela Fisher says she now has a song that will be stuck in her head forever.

“Well, ‘Shake It Off’ is really working well for me,” she said with a laugh.

Angela Fisher has been out of the hospital for about two weeks. She has six more weeks of recovery ahead.

NORTH West appeared to take a “messy” swipe at Taylor Swift by reposting a video seemingly mocking the singer on TikTok.

The 10-year-old “accidentally” shared a clip of Taylor dancing on her and mom Kim Kardashian’s joint account – which was deleted hours later.

Taylor, 34, was seen dancing erratically in the music video for her 2017 song, Delicate.

The Midnights singer went barefoot in a blue, tasseled minidress as she showed off her goofy moves in a hotel lobby.

Taylor stomped across a reception desk and clicked in security guards’ faces in the wild clip.

The video had the text, “So this is your favorite singer?” and had the caption, “I’m sorry, what?”

It was deleted soon after, seemingly by Kim, 43, who is in Paris for fashion week without North.

“LMAOOO north is so messy,” one fan wrote on Reddit after sharing a screenshot of the repost.

“It’s the only repost on their account. This is hilarious i don’t think she meant to repost it,” another added.

“Uh oh lol, I understand North probably saw it online but I hope [Kim and Kanye West] are not spewing hate behind the scenes around their kids, that would just be ugly and unnecessary to let your kids know” a third posted, referencing Kim and Kanye’s longstanding feud with Taylor.

Another user pointed out the video’s swift erasion, commenting, “Yeah it’s gone already Kim was prob lurking in the sub.”

Taylor and Kim’s feud began after Kim’s ex-husband Kanye famously ran up on the VMAs stage in 2009 interrupting Taylor’s Best Female Video win for her hit You Belong With Me.

As the stunned pop star made an emotional speech on stage, Kanye ran up from the audience and grabbed the mic out of Taylor’s hand.

He fired off the iconic line, “Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish … but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!”

FAMOUS FEUD

In the years that followed, the artists released songs that took jab at each other.

Kanye dropped his song “Famous,” which included the lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have 𝑠e𝑥 / Why? I made that b**** famous.”

Taylor called out the rapper for using her name in a derogatory way – despite Kanye insisting he had run all the lyrics past her.

Kim, who was married to Kanye at the time, shared a supposed phone call where Taylor appeared to agree to her name being used in Kanye’s song.

“She totally approved that, she wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t,” she told GQ.

“I swear, my husband gets so much s*** for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.”

But Kim went one step further adding the conversation had been recorded on camera, and the following month, she released the recording on her social media for all to see and hear.
