Beckhams score $22 million Beverly Hills property

Los Angeles – David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, are moving to Beverly Hills this summer.

Beckham, 32, and his 33-year-old wife – the former Posh Spice of the Spice Girls – have purchased a home in Beverly Hills, Beckham spokesman Jeff Raymond confirmed Monday. They plan to move in July.

“I can only confirm they bought a home there,” Raymond said.

Raymond wouldn’t give any details about the house or confirm a Los Angeles Times report that the couple paid $22 million for a 13,000-square-foot house on slightly more than an acre of land with city and ocean views.

Beckham has signed a five-year deal with Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy and will join the club this summer.

‘Extreme Makeover’ star arrested on misdemeanor

Los Angeles – Ty Pennington, host of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” was arrested on a misdemeanor charge this weekend, documents show.

Pennington, 42, was booked on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs while driving, the TMZ.com Web site reported.

“I made an error in judgment,” Pennington said in a statement released through his publicist, Stan Rosenfield.

“We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone,” the reality TV host said.

He was arrested shortly after 12:30 a.m. Saturday by the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Traffic Division, according to inmate information posted on the county Sheriff’s Department Web site.

Pennington was released two hours later after posting $5,000 bail and was due back in court June 4, according to the Web site.

Los Angeles police officials said Monday they had no further information.

‘Lost’ finds end date in 2010

Los Angeles – ABC is attempting to rescue once-hot “Lost” by ending the show – in 2010.

Bowing to the fact that convention isn’t working for the drama about plane-crash survivors on a surreal island, the network is taking the unusual step of turning “Lost” into a limited-run series.

It will run for three shorter and uninterrupted seasons until its “highly anticipated and shocking finale” in the 2009-10 season, ABC said Monday.

“Due to the unique nature of the series, we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout and to give the audience the payoff they deserve,” ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement.

Typically, networks milk a series until it runs dry of ratings and then drop the ax.

In January, “Lost” producers said they were talking with the network about setting an end date.

Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have agreed to remain with the show, now in its third season, through the end, ABC said. Lindelof created the show with J.J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber.

“We always envisioned ‘Lost’ as a show with a beginning, middle and end,” Lindelof and Cuse said in a statement. “By officially announcing exactly when that ending will be, the audience will now have the security of knowing that the story will play out as we’ve intended.”
