Seeing as her previous job required her to sing in front of tens of thousands of people, it's a little surprising that former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham suffered stage fright on Sunday as she narrated her New York fashion week runway show for her Fall '11 collection. Then again, New York's fashion elite weren't exactly an audience of adoring fans. According to the Daily Beast, "There were muffled giggles, knowing glances, and plenty of eye-rolling" coming from a group major fashion magazine editors.

Victoria Beckham Will Move To NYC To Pursue Fashion
The British are coming! Well, the Beckhams are coming. The couple moved from London to live in Los Angeles not too long ago, and now they're reportedly ready to make their next move to New York City. David would continue playing soccer for the LA Galaxy and keep their Beverly Hills home as a base, but his wife Victoria (pictured) is set on moving to the city. The "fashion designer" says, "My work is so important to me and LA just isn't a real fashion city." The couple have three sons, so this fashion thing must be really important to her if she's willing to split up the fam.

He would be replacing Grady Little, who...
Soccer Star David Beckham Arrives in NYC
British tabloid mainstay, fashion icon, and fabled footballer David Beckham will make his first appearance in New York City today since the former captain of England's national team started playing with the Los Angeles Galaxy. He is spending the afternoon in Harlem coaching the 33 teenage members of the FC Harlem Lions, intending to highlight the need for more soccer fields in the neighborhood.
Last Night's Action: West Coast Doesn't Help
Willie Randolph shouldn't panic quite yet. His team has run into talented teams when it's not playing its best. Too bad the schedule doesn't get any easier. The Dodgers represent just the second of six playoff teams the Mets play in successive series. A road set against the Yankees plus a homestand against Minnesota, Oakland and St. Louis await. The string ends when the Mets visit Philadelphia, the club responsible for starting this New York slide.
Pencil This In
THEATER: Theodora Skipitares is a Greek-American playwright, director and puppeteer who uses near life-size puppets and Greek tragedies to look at our current situation in Iraq. (Her rendition of the Iliad and the Odyssey was a sold-out hit at La MaMa last year.) Her new show, which features puppetry and video, is The Exiles, an adaptation of the Orestes/Electra myth. “In this particular story of betrayal and vengeance, these puppets are an eerie construction of facade and public display, while their operators are a shadow of primal, often raw emotions and personal desires.” (Read last month's Times profile of Skipitares here.) - John Del Signore

Stop the Spice
The Sun runs this picture of ex-Spice Girl Geri Haliwell to say she's wearing a shirt with the name of Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham's son on it. Gothamist would like to point out that before Brooklyn Beckham existed, there was the borough of Brooklyn.
