While David Beckham isn't much of a reader himself, he sure does seem to crank out his own books. But alas, he's not writing them by himself. The man has trouble enough helping his kids with his homework, you didn't think that he'd be the one putting pen to paper. His forthcoming book Making It Real, will be written by a ghostwriter, just as his two previous autobiographies were.

David Beckham signed a £1million deal to bring out his third book in five years at the still relatively tender age of 31. The England captain and Real Madrid star, whose 2004 book My Side was the biggest selling autobiography of the year, has signed a new deal for Making It Real.

But although the book, which will be published in September, will look at what has happened to the star since 2004's My Side (except, perhaps, the allegations of marital misbehaviour), it will focus more on the techniques that have helped make him into one of England's top footballers.

Aimed at a younger audience, Making It Real will have a tie-in with Beckham's two football academies, in London and Los Angeles.

According the publishers HarperCollins, as well as featuring "state-of-the art soccer skills and training tips" it will give, "unique insights into Beckham's world as a footballer and one of the most celebrated faces on the planet".

There will also be plenty of pictures of Beckham, both on and off the field with "personal insights into how his own experiences have shaped his career".

Beckham said of the deal: "I am pleased that what I'm trying to achieve at my Academies will reach a wider audience through this book. I hope that everyone who reads it will not only learn new skills but have fun with their football."

Wow. That's some baby dent. We all remember the story of how it happened, right? The tyke took a backwards tumble from his high chair under the care of a now fired maid. A little spackle and he'll be as good as new.

According to the Celebrity Baby Blog, Rachel Weisz was due to deliver her baby yesterday, but there she is, still wandering the streets of New York City. Soon she'll have to spend much more time attending to her soon to be born baby. This will leave less time for her to focus on personal grooming, which according to the Oscar winning actress, is much needed in the eyebrow department.

Oscar winning actress Rachel Weisz has confessed she looks like an “ape,” if she doesn't get her eyebrows plucked regularly.

The Mummy actress, who beat Liz Hurley and Kate Moss to top a poll of Britain’s most beddable women, admits following a strict beauty regime, to keep her hairy eyebrows in shape.

“They end up looking like something from Planet Of The Apes if I don’t pluck them regularly,” The Sun quoted her, as saying.

Along with the success of X-Men 3, Hugh Jackman has one more reason to celebrate. The actor and his wife have offically adopted their daughter Ava who was born via surrogacy last year.

Hugh Jackman has officially adopted baby daughter Ava after a tearful court hearing earlier this month. The actor and his wife became parents to the little girl last year through surrogacy and spent months cutting through red tape to make her his second adopted child. Jackman admits the adoption hearing was a truly joyful experience: "We did the official adoption last week in her home county so we went there and we went to this little courthouse and the judge was so happy because he spends his day with divorces and things like that, so to have an adoption is a happy occasion. "We, of course, cried the entire time and Ava just flirted with the judge, picked up his gavel and started eating it." Jackman and his wife adopted son Oscar in May 2000.

Kevin, is that really you? The banker look is quite fitting, and do I dare say that he cleans up pretty nicely. Plus, with this wardrobe he doesn't give off his typical "I'm sooooo stoned" look, even though he has that same "I'm sooooo stoned" smile. What is this makeover for? To promote his upcoming CD, of course.

To promote his record release this August, rapper Kevin Federline, 28, submitted to a haircut, a shave and a wardrobe overhaul at a May photo shoot for Item magazine (out on June 5). After the makeover, he shared his philosophy on fatherhood, fame and fastfood.

On the public: "I should just put a bulls-eye on my back. If I stay home and take care of my wife and my kids, then I'm a loafer, not a good father. If I try to have a career, nobody thinks I am caring for my family. I can't win."

On rumors: "You'll never see that guy they say cheats or goes partying all the time. If I'm there and I'm out at a club, I am there for a reason. I am not there to mingle with women. All that shit is done to me. I did that when I was 21."

On his kids: "It's completely unfair when a child is brought into this world an now he's already looked at like a prince. My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don't have it easy with me. Period....My kids are going to work at Taco Bell, dammit."

On his image: "I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually it's, 'How's the wife and kids?' Not that I mind; that's my pride and joy. But it would be nice for people to look at me like an artist. The day they judge me as an artist, a CEO, as somebody, not Britney Spears' husband, that's the day I am looking forward to."

We all know that Jennifer Lopez got her start in showbiz as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color. Now she's set to launch a reality series that will help launch some younger dancer's career. It also happens that her ex-husband Cris Judd is also launching the same type of reality series.

Jennifer Lopez and ex-husband Cris Judd will go head-to-head when they both launch television dancing shows later this year. Lopez is working with MTV on her reality series "Moves" where she will select and audition dancers, as well as act as an executive producer.

The hitmaker will use her dance training and experience to assist aspiring dancers in their careers in the fly-on-the-wall show.

Meanwhile, former dancer and choreographer Judd will host "Dirty Dancing: Living The Dream," a small-screen version of the 1987 Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey movie with a reality TV twist. The series will pair novice female dancers with experienced professionals who will train and compete for a featured role in the national cast of the upcoming Dirty Dancing musical.

Judd's series will air on Women's Entertainment (WE).
