Victoria Beckham's daughter, 10, says mom's Spice Girls outfits were 'unacceptable'
Victoria Beckham's 10-year-old daughter, Harper, is appalled her mom wore such skimpy outfits in back in her Spice Girls days. "She actually said to me recently, 'Mummy, I've seen some pictures of you when you were in the Spice Girls and your skirts were just unacceptable. They were just too short,'" Victoria, who shares Harper with husband David Beckham, recently told Vogue Australia. "Then David piped up and said, 'Absolutely, Harper! They really, really were.' And she was actually quite disgusted at how short my skirts were." Known for stepping out in tiny bralettes, crop tops and revealing tube dresses in her '90s music heyday, Victoria also joked that her bandmates "weren't really into fashion, so I was fortunate to be able to take up most of the budget" with her own wardrobe. As for her chat with Harper, Victoria recalled her daughter was even more direct as the conversation continued. "I said, 'Are you never going to wear skirts like that?' She said, 'Absolutely not,'" Victoria continued, adding, "We'll see. She's not one of these kids who are going out with a full face of makeup and a crop top." Victoria and David also share three sons: Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17.

Having happily settled into a romance with sports agent Rich Paul, Adele's thinking about having more children. In a new interview with Lauren Laverne for BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island Discs," the singer, 34, was asked about her 2019 split from Simon Konecki, which inspired much of her latest album, "30." When the host noted the divorce must have been hard for the former couple's 9-year-old son Angelo, Adele said it was actually "never really tricky" for the family to deal with. "We're such good friends," she said of her relationship with Simon, adding that she'd never let "a messy divorce" interfere with her son's childhood. From there, the discussion veered into what real-life milestones might inspire Adele's next batch of new music. "I definitely would like a couple more kids," she mused. "It would be wonderful if we can — if not I've got Angelo. I just want to be happy." Adele also spoke briefly about how Rich, 40, has helped her come out of her shell more and worry less about optics when she's not busy with music. "It used to be two years and I wouldn't be seen anywhere. I have a whole setup of how I move and no one ever knows, just so I can go out and be completely carefree," Adele said. "I think now, the relationship that I'm in, he's like, 'If you wanna go to that restaurant, you should go and try the food at that restaurant. And if you wanna go to this birthday party, then you should be going. You can't miss out on these things. What's the worst that could happen?'"

'The Wendy Williams Show' website, social media taken down after final episode
Wendy Williams' fans are defending the star after her long-running show's website and all of its social media accounts, including YouTube, disappeared from the internet just weeks after the final episode aired on June 17. The series finale did not include participation from Wendy, whose growing list of health concerns initially forced her to pass the reigns over to a series of guest hosts. One of those guests was Sherri Shepherd, whose new show "Sherri" starts this fall — in what had been Wendy's time slot. That sequence of events seemed to fuel fans' anger as well. "Debmar-Mercury should be ashamed of themselves for deleting the entire history and legacy of The Wendy Williams Show via digital media," one angry viewer tweeted, referencing the company that produced Wendy's show. "What are they trying to hide or prove by doing this?" the person asked. Another fan accused the production company of "being messy" with Wendy's exit and suggested they wouldn't be tuning in for "Sherri" because of it. "Every time I say I'm going to watch the Sherri show, you guys do some clown s***," the person posted. "Regardless of how the show ended, all of you could've kept the social media platform's like any other show! Sherri watch your 'team' #WendyWilliams." Wendy, who launched the daytime talk show in 2008, has said she plans to move on from the TV world to podcasting, telling TMZ she has "enough money to do something else" with her next career move. As of Tuesday, July 5, reps for Debmar-Mercury and Wendy had not replied to People's request for a comment on the show's internet presence being scrubbed.

It marks 40 years of marriage to my darling Ozzy," Sharon wrote on Instagram on July 3, sharing a photo of the couple holding hands in front of a fireplace. "We first met when I was 18, over 52 years we have been friends, lovers, husband & wife, grandparents and soulmates," she continued. "Always at each other's side. I love you Ozzy ~ Sharrrrrrron x …" "The Talk" star, 69, also showed off pics from their weekend staycation at the Beverly Hills Hotel and thanked the staff "for spoiling us on our anniversary," adding that the venue "holds a special place in our hearts 🥰 🌴."

He was also treated for staph infection in 2018 that required hand surgery, according to Billboard, and is currently recovering from having the pins in his neck and spine realigned last month.
Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian head to the beach following health scare
Travis Barker looked to be in better spirits over the weekend after he was hospitalized with what Kourtney Kardashian called "life-threatening pancreatitis." The Blink-182 drummer, who was rushed to the emergency room last week and has since told fans he's undergoing "intensive treatment" for the condition, was spotted relaxing in the sun on the beach in Malibu alongside Kourtney and her kids, Penelope and Reign Disick, on July 4. As he explained on Instagram before he was discharged, Travis had gone in for a routine endoscopy. Soon after the procedure he "developed excruciating pain" and had to be hospitalized right away. "During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube," he explained. "This resulted in severe life-threatening pancreatitis. I am so very very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better."
