Beckham orders pink mobile phone

The device comes in two different colours - pink and black. However, the company was astonished when Beck's entourage phoned them a few days later to request a pink version.

According to our mole, the supplier was puzzled why Becks would want the pink version rather than the black model. "He can't be seen using one," came the reply. "Because of the new deal he has with Motorola."

So we surmise he wanted a pink one for his wife, Posh Spice. Sorry, Victoria Beckham.

Becks has history with mobile phones, of course. His steamy text messages to Rebecca Loos eventually turned her into a pig-pleasuring media star. µ
