‘What have you done?!' See the results of David Beckham's botched DIY haircut
David Beckham needs a good barber, stat. Or maybe a toupee. The soccer legend decided to DIY his haircut the other day and the results were an epic fail. Becks showed off his new look on Instagram Sunday in a clip with his wife Victoria in the background telling him it looks 'terrible.' 'So this happened yesterday whilst shaving my head and as you can hear my wife didn't find it funny at all,' said the caption. Atop his shaved head peppered with gray stubble there's a large, swatch of baldness. 'What have you done!?' the former Spice Girl says, laughing. 'It's not funny,' Beckham answers, adding an explanation: 'The clipper head fell off.' The InterMiami owner then references a line from their 2023 Netflix documentary when he accused his longtime love of lying about her family's wealth growing up ('Be honest'). '@victoriabeckham you don't always need to BE THAT HONEST. I quote 'It looks awful.' And yes, kids have content.' Well, not all the kids. The Brit tagged three of their children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, leaving out Brooklyn. Not surprising as there are rumors of a family feud with the couple's oldest child, which reportedly started as far back as his 2022 wedding to actress/socialite Nicola Peltz in Palm Beach. The reason for the issues? The bride allegedly committed the fashion faux pas of not wearing a gown designed by her famous mother in law. Sigh.

Lucky Enough explores a teen girl's search for self-worth and confidence as she navigates the uncertainties of high school, the complexities of relationships, and confronting her dreams.

But it's not that simple, as she struggles with self-confidence, social pressures, and the fear of standing out for the wrong reasons, not to mention trying to get the attention of her longtime crush. When her fearless best friend, Trina, is determined to make the school's dance team, Becks decides to take the leap with her. Though the pair help each other through high school stress and heartbreak, they encounter friendship struggles of their own. All that changes when Becks' beloved grandfather gives her a four-leaf clover necklace to bring her luck, and she experiences opportunities, triumphs, and moments of courage that can't be coincidences…could they?

Enthusiasm in bucketloads fires a special village pub's success
I come across a lot of enthusiastic people while writing this column but the ebullient Neil Hay, who owns and runs the Colvile Arms, in Lullington, takes enthusiasm to a new level, in a good way. Neil is a proper evangelist on the subject of pubs, although he came to the trade late, almost by accident. Having done so, over eight years, he's turned the Colvile Arms into a multi-award-winning pub and a quintessential village local, proving, too, that such a place doesn't always have to serve meals to thrive. The Burton & South Derbyshire branch of Camra have named the Colvile their 'out of town' pub of the year for a remarkable eight years running and Neil, rightly hugely proud of this, has an embroidered cushion for each of those awards in the pub's snug. That is just one example of the attention to detail he brings to every aspect of the job. So, how did it come about? It's a nice story, which began in Australia, where Neil met his wife, Becks, who is from Grangewood, just up the road from Lullington: 'We were both travelling,' he says. 'We met, then we came home from Australia as friends and met up again 10 years later at a party in London – we didn't know each other was going to be there. READ MORE: New shop set to open on 'vibrant' Derby street after fashion store's closure READ MORE: Vintage Derbyshire tea room that's 'better than Bettys' is like stepping into the past "We got together, going back and forward from London to here and eventually one of us had to move. I decided I wanted to. I felt that this was real life, a far cry from what I saw in Soho when I woke up – now I was seeing sheep and talking to people, which is great.' Neil worked in the pub as a barman for a few months after relocating – and then came the chance to buy the lease from the Goff family, who had been running it for some years: 'They said, look we're leaving, would you like to take this on? And I took one minute to say yes! I'd like to try and convey that, actually, it is a wonderful living, a wonderful way of working that you can be proud of – and it's the hardest I've ever worked in my life. 'If I had 24 more hours in a day, there's more I could do. There's always something to do, whether it be looking after the car park, the garden, the building itself. It's a full-on thing, but it's fantastic. I'd worked in hospitality, I'd worked for Ted Baker in retail, I've worked in sales and in hotels. What they have in common is customer service. 'I think that is getting lost in this country a little bit and that going above and beyond in a place that maybe people wouldn't expect it makes such a difference. If you go to the Savoy you expect it, if you go the Ritz you expect it but why shouldn't the farmer down the road get the same experience? I don't mean the quality of the produce necessarily, I mean the way they're made to feel.' I have, honestly, four times as much stuff from Neil on this subject than I can fit on a page but, hopefully, we're distilling what he's about and why this pub works. Here's more… 'I think the pub is a British institution, a place that people feel safe,' he says. "It's not just now about getting drunk or going for a beer – we sell more non-alcoholic stuff than alcoholic. People come here to socialise, to meet friends; they might just need a place to go to talk to somebody. I'm an agony uncle as well as a landlord! 'It's not just come in, buy, take away, sit down, drink, see you later. You can do that anywhere. They say people aren't so bothered about going out. Well, let's give them a reason to. We need to make people feel like, well, that's somewhere I want to go. I want to go there because I feel great there.' Neil never presumed to know it all, so he went to speak to people who've been in the trade longer: 'You've got to be prepared to learn and my challenge was that, yeah, there were many times when I sat with my head in my hands at the end of a shift going, what the hell am I doing? 'Why is my beer not as good as somebody else's? Why am I quiet tonight? My first six months were very difficult. I didn't know what I was doing and I went to other pubs. Some weren't willing to talk to me because they saw us as rivals and that's a shame but some were and I'm really glad I went because they helped me with so much, especially the cellar stuff. 'Good support from your friends and family really helps too and I'm lucky enough to have that. There's no manual for running a pub and the best way to do it is to work with each other.' The Colvile is neatly divided into several comfortable rooms, so games players are separate from people who want a quieter evening, while the garden is exceptional. Beer comes almost exclusively from local brewers, as Neil believes it should. While they don't do food, beyond bar snacks, street food vendors are invited along and there are plenty of events and promotions – that side of things is sorted out in the background by Becks. And somehow, the couple are also fitting in raising three children, Josephine (7), Harrison (6) and Cameron (4). 'Becks has been wonderful because she's managed to stay within the business but not being the landlady,' says Neil. 'She's not the face of it, she's put that down to me, but she is so important to what we've done, mainly due to the fact she's let me do it! And the staff are great. They make me look a hell of a lot better than I actually am and I'm very grateful to them.' Neil's enthusiasm is very infectious. The Colvile Arms really is a special place. Give it a go if you've not before. Enjoyed reading this article? You can find more of .

David Beckham seen for first time since op as he gives injury update
David Beckham entered the field at the Club World Cup with his arm in a sling after undergoing a secret operation from an injury he suffered during his playing career David Beckham was seen for the first time since his secret operation. The former footballer stepped out with his arm in a sling after going for surgery on an injury that had plagued him for over 20 years. The secret operation was required following a broken wrist he suffered while playing for England 22 years ago. At the time, he landed awkwardly after a challenge in a game against South Africa. The Three Lions went on to win the 2003 friendly 2-1. Now, though, the Inter Miami co-founder was on hand to watch the American side's huge clash with another of his former teams, Paris Saint-Germain. The teams faced off in Atlanta in the Club World Cup. Looking smart in his club's suit, Becks was seen sporting a navy blue sling with his arm heavily bandaged. At one point, he was seen chatting with former PSG midfielder, Blaise Matuidi at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia. The 50-year-old former England captain looked in good spirits as he watched on heavily strapped. He said: "It's fine. It's an old injury that needed surgery, but it's all good. All good." It comes days after he revealed he was recovering in hospital. At the time, his loving wife Victoria Beckham shared a snap of the star lying in a hospital bed with his arm in a sling. Over the top of the image of him smiling in a hospital gown, former Spice Girl Victoria wrote: "Get well soon, Daddy." She also gave him a friendship bracelet made with white beads to form 'Get Well Soon'. David recently revealed how his hugely successful career had left him with a number of injuries after years of "wear and tear". He said: "Certain parts of my body were a real mess." And speaking to DAZN, Becks said of his latest op: ""It's fine. It's an old injury that needed surgery, but it's all good. All good." Discussing the match at hand, he also added to DAZN: "To be honest, it's quite an emotional match for me. Obviously, the team that we own is playing probably the best team in the world right now, and who would have thought?" "For me to finish my career in Paris the way I did with this club was very special. I only spent six months there, but it felt like 16 years. It's a real family. "It's a real special club, owned by special people, run by a special man. We're very proud of this moment to be stood here, knowing that we are playing against PSG as owners, as friends, as partners. It's very special." Ahead of Sunday's match, Lionel Messi also admitted that he wasn't entirely happy during his time in the French capital. He said: "Coming to play for Inter Miami was an opportunity and the way things developed during my last years in Paris, although it was a decision that I had to make on the go, because I had to leave from Barcelona, I went through two years which I didn't enjoy. "I wasn't happy on a daily basis, with the training, the matches. I had a hard time adapting to all that. I felt called to come to Inter [Miami] because it's a club that's growing, very new, with few years as a club."

His Miami side are taking on the Champions League winners in the last 16 of the Club World Cup. The former Three Lions skipper, 50, looked relaxed and comfortable in a sturdy blue sling matching his suit.
