Gary Barlow hates flying with other celebrities because he wants to be the most famous person on board if the plane crashes.

The Take That star was traveling from Los Angeles to London recently when he realized top chef Gordon Ramsay and soccer star David Beckham were sitting alongside him, prompting him to realize his demise would not make the front pages of newspapers if the aircraft went down.

David Beckham admits his marriage is under "pressure." The soccer star says both he and his wife Victoria find it tough being under constant scrutiny, but adds their three sons - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six and three-year-old Cruz - help put things in perspective.

He said: "We have quite a lot of pressure, honestly, as a couple. But we've had that since we first started going out, so we've got used to it over the years. We have a way of working through it by looking out for each other."

Victoria Beckham's children won't listen to her music. The former Spice Girl's eldest son Brooklyn, nine, loves The Beatles so much he insists on taking their albums to his Los Angeles pottery classes, but he is not so enamored with Victoria's tracks.

She said: "Brooklyn just loves The Beatles. Can't get him to listen to any of my records, though!"

Britney Spears is set to launch a new perfume to coincide with the release of her new album.

The singer - who has previously lent her name to scents entitled Curious, Fantasy, In Control, Midnight Fantasy, Curious Heart and Believe - will release fragrance Hidden Fantasy on December 2, the same day as her sixth studio LP Circus hits the shops.

Victoria Beckham is "so proud" of pal Katie Holmes. The former Spice Girls star - who is married to soccer star David Beckham - will definitely go and see the "Batman Begins" star in the Broadway production of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons."

Victoria said: "We can't wait to come support Katie. Her husband Tom Cruise says she's amazing, the reviews have been amazing. We're so proud of her."

Victoria Beckham wears socks and gloves in bed. The former Spice Girl sleeps naked apart from white cotton gloves and thick socks in an attempt to halt the ageing process.

Victoria, who is married to soccer star David Beckham, said: "I put really thick foot lotion on with socks before I go to sleep. I also use thick hand cream with gloves at the same time."
