What's your plan for your Significant Other's birthday?If you really loved that person, you'd do what David Beckham did for his wife Victoria's 33rd, on Tuesday: He took her to Paris by private jet. There, the Daily Mirror says, the soccer star had set up a private session at the showroom of Christian Louboutin, who is to Manolo Blahnik what Manolo is to Wal-Mart. Vicky ordered a $3,000 pair of heels. Then it was on to the Azzedine Alaia showroom, where she chose a $14,000 custom creation.Then they retreated to their suite at the Ritz, which of course was full of flowers and where the champagne was on ice.Everybody has bills to pay.I'm guessing that's why Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet has directed some TV ads for Ford's Edge, a so-called "crossover" vehicle.Mamet is known for tight dialogue and when J.

It's hell. Certainly, pick on me -- but why pick on Angelina? That's so low. She's such an amazing woman -- like Supergirl, in every way."But Brad was polite about it, telling the reporter this, too: "I'm sorry if I seem to be taking my frustration out on you."Police and firefighters are supposed to work together, but the cops in Philadelphia aren't too happy with fireman Rodney Jean-Jacques, who has a second career as rapper Cal Akbar. Somebody at the police station listened to the lyrics for an untitled Akbar number: "I got a surprise for them cops," it goes, with gunfire sounds in the background. "I hope the news is taping this, 'cause I'm gonna turn pigs into bacon bits." Now the police union wants him fired, for some reason.
