Posh is thrilled to be in LA

David and Victoria Beckham and their three sons will move to California in the summer when he begins his £1million-a-week job.
Despite his whopping pay packet Victoria can still be awed by Tinseltown. Opening her heart in her first big interview since hubby David's £128million LA Galaxy transfer deal, Victoria tells the Mirror how she is:
"I was at a party the other day when Tom Hanks came bounding over.
"He said, 'I'm so thrilled you and David are coming over. I'm going to get a season ticket to watch LA Galaxy now'."
"All the time he was talking I was just thinking, 'It's Forrest Gump! And he knows who I am!' "
"I don't know if I'll ever get used to that when we move here. I don't get out much, really. I'm usually with David and the boys."
At the lavish CAA pre-Oscars party, Penelope Cruz was overheard asking Victoria if she'd been practising dominoes after a late-night session at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's house.
One spy at the party reveals: "They all had a really lovely dinner and afterwards Penelope whipped a dominoes set from her handbag.
"They played for ages. It's all the rage in LA at the moment."
Victoria laughs and throws back her head. She says:
"Penelope's such a sweetie, a real girls' girl.
"And Ashton and Demi are always touching and kissing like teenagers. David and I are quite tactile so it's lovely to see it with other people. They're genuinely smitten with each other. David and I have a few very good friends who are celebrities. But we don't go out that much.
"It's fun now and then to go out for dinner, but am I going to start going to clubs with Britney Spears every night? Possibly not.
"I have three children, I work hard and when I'm not working I'm at home with the kids."
Posh wowed guests at Elton John's Oscars party in a stunning white Azzedine Alaia dress, which David bought her, and £1million of diamonds. But she also used her visit to look for a suitable home.
She says:
"David is still in Spain playing for Real Madrid so I have to text him pictures of all the houses.
"I know his taste really well but I still need back up. Some places look amazing outside but then the decor leaves a lot to be desired. It has to be private and close enough to David's training ground.
"And there has to be lots of space for the boys. They will probably get the final say."
Posh, 32, who has a £7.5million deal to design her own collection of shoes and handbags, also reveals she has to work hard to stay a fashion icon.
She has been ticked off by design guru Tom Ford, who made his name at Gucci.
Victoria reveals:
"When I get on a plane the first thing I do is put on old pyjamas.
"But the other day I was on a flight sitting next to Tom Ford.
"I told him that I was going to take all my glam gear off and he said, 'You shouldn't'. I thought he was joking and was getting ready to change when he said, 'No, you really shouldn't'.
"I was so intimidated I had to sit on this 11-hour flight in tight, uncomfortable clothes."
Victoria's sunglasses range launches in the US in March, followed by her denim collection in May - in the wake of the recent release of the Beckhams' his-n-hers fragrances. So Victoria insists she has little time for a leisurely browse through LA's super-sleek shops.
"I like to shop, but not as much as people think."
"I am in a fortunate position where I get lots of clothes from designers. Most of the time you'll catch me at home.
"The children aren't spoiled. We live a relatively simple life at home."
So, despite counting some of the most famous people in the world as her friends, Victoria's feet remain firmly on the ground.
There are huge billboards around LA announcing David's arrival. But she says:
"I am the first to admit, maybe people really know who we are in America, maybe they don't. We are realistic about it.
"We are here for a reason - to do the best we can."
