Victoria Beckham is heading to the big screen, in the forthcoming Sex and the City Movie sequel — and she’s taking acting lessons so she doesn’t make a fool of herself.

The former Spice was apparently offered a walk-on part in the first film but turned it down because she was too busy (busy? really?).

Now she’s got a free schedule, Vicky’s keen to take movie bosses up on their offer — and she’s begging them to give her a more meaty part in the follow-up.

We’re told, “She really wanted to be in the last movie but wasn’t able to take part because of her commitments with the Spice Girls. This time she’s keen to take part.”

If you’re under any illusion Posh has any chance of being taken seriously as an actress, rent out the Spice Girls Movie… We dare you!

Amy Winehouse returned to her native Britain on Monday after an eight-month break in the Caribbean – and promptly burst into tears.

The Back to Black hitmaker fled to St Lucia in December in a last-ditch bid to conquer her drink and drug addictions.

She briefly returned to the U.K. in March but was back on the paradise isle within weeks – and spent the following four months relaxing in the sun, partying, and riding horses.

The singer finally returned to Britain on Monday arriving alone at London’s Gatwick Airport – where she broke down in tears as she was met by her driver and personal assistant.

An onlooker said: “Amy looked tired but happy to be home. She got a bit tearful when she met up with her driver and PA because she hasn’t seen them for so long, but other than that she seemed to be in good spirits.”

Winehouse is due to appear in court in London later this month to answer a charge she punched an autograph hunter at a party last September.

Joe Jackson’s horrifying plans to turn his grandchildren into the Jackson 3 could be wrecked by a secret deal reached by his estranged wife Katherine and Debbie Rowe, according to reports coming out of the U.K.

The Sunday Mirror newspaper is reporting that the pair are conspiring to reach a custody agreement out of court, which hands Katherine full custody and gives Rowe regular access to her two kids with Jackson, Prince Michael and Paris.

All of this leaves Joe out of the picture, just days after he told us he wants to share custody with Katherine and suggested he could make the kids stars.

The same Joe Jackson who Michael accused of regularly beating the living crap out of him and his siblings when they were young wannabes.

A source tells the Mirror Rowe is even consider taking out a restraining order on Joe: “The last thing Debbie wanted was for those kids to be looked after by Joe and go through what Michael went through.

“When they were together Michael poured out his heart about how much he loathed Joe for what he had done. And Katherine knows it’s best for the children if they can settle it between themselves and keep it all out of courts.

“They can’t stop Joseph seeing the kids at family functions and parties, but they can and will fight to prevent him having any formal role whatsoever in their upbringing.”
