It’s the rumor that won’t stop growing - David and Victoria Beckham’s UK residence Beckingham Palace was allegedly thieved by houseworkers while Becks & Posh were away.

The story goes that Victoria (or Victoria’s parents, depending on which version you read) discovered the theft when she found items on eBay that were identical to those in her house; a subsequent search of the house proved the items were missing. Two employees were then, according to reports, arrested on Monday.

The items included such precious mementos as boots David wore for the LA Galaxy that were emrboidered with his sons’ names, and Victoria’s designer clothes.

Despite the protests of suspects Eric and June Emmett, the story continues to grow. Eric Emmett insisted to BBC News that the whole story’s made up. “What is in the papers is fabricated nonsense,” Emmett said. “Totally fabricated, 99% of it is totally untrue.” Now a third suspect, their son Gareth, has also been arrested.

News sources are reporting all three suspects have been released on bail until November. But the fact that reported details are changing from source to source and there’s no clear statement from the Beckhams leads us to wonder if the Emmetts aren’t right - is it all “fabricated nonsense”?

“You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?”

“I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.”

“Yeah, me too.”

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound (or sight) of idiocy - courtesy of Minneapolis KTLK’s radio hosts Chris Baker and Langdon Perry.

On October 8th the pair achieved infamy by accusing Magic Johnson of faking AIDS towards the end of his career. Johnson retired from professional basketball in 1991 to promote AIDS awareness after his own HIV positive diagnosis.

Johnson said, “I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable.”

Remember Leryn Franco?

Unless you’re a fan of track & field or an astute follower of internet stars, you probably haven’t. The brunette bombshell tossed javelins at the 2008 Beijing Olympics (and the 2004 Athens Olympics). She was also runner-up at Miss Universe (Miss Paraguay) and competed in Miss Bikini Universe, claims to fame that mesh better with her recent modeling escapades.

A woman of many talents, Leryn’s taken to the catwalk to model very risque clothing. Suffice to say, the magenta star you see in this photo isn’t part of the outfit. We can’t show you the full measure of these photos - they’re neither work nor family friendly. But if you’re feeling adventurous, you can find them here.
