Victoria Adams and David Beckham have bunkered golfers at the castle where
they are celebrating their wedding, by hiring its entire golf course for
£15,000.

They wanted to stop club members seeing their £500,000 ceremony from the
long par five 12th hole at Luttrellstown Castle on the outskirts of
Dublin. Yesterday the couple, who have been lying low all week, surfaced
in Scotland at a fashion shoot. They are keeping guests guessing about
whether it is a blessing or full marriage ceremony they are holding at the
castle after being told they had failed to meet the requirements to wed
there.

Last night members at the championship golf course, which charges £12,000
to join and £720 a year in fees, were furious. A sign on the chalet-style
clubhouse reads: "Due to a private function, the course and clubhouse will
be closed to members and visitors on Sunday July 4."

One member at the 7,000-yard course blasted: "They don't want to know us
on Sunday because of the wedding. It's a disgrace."

Most of the guests won't even see the couple.  The grand ballroom where
the service will be conducted only holds around 75 people, withgiant
marquees taking the remaining 425 guests.  The service will be relayed to
the marquee with every word uttered by the newlyweds, then everyone will
join together for a massive reception.

Last night it emerged the couple may go ahead with the reception and then
get legally hitched on honeymoon or they could bring a clergyman from
outside Dublin County, who would be able to perform the wedding ceremony.

Meanwhile, David has warned his Manchester United pals off the booze.
Team-mates including defender David May jetted into Dublin last
night to link up with other guests for two pre-wedding bashes, but he has
privately told best man Gary Neville: "Do us a favour tell the lads not to
get too wrecked."

"Word Up News"

Melanie G was just on Mtv news talking about her new video, "Word Up" she
claims it's supposed to be a weird type video, with some scenery from the
Austin Powers movie, The Spy Who Shagged Me.

When questioned about her remake of  Cameo's song on the soundtrack, she
replayed she didn't even know it was  going to be on the soundtrack until
after so it was a nice surprise. One scene of the video for Word Up is of
Melanie G in a chair with long metal nails and a helmet. The chair
revolves around what looks like a spaceship, and Minime is sitting on the
arm of the chair with his pinkie to his mouth. He says "Word up" during
the song.

NickEmcee: Thanks for coming by Meagan!

NickNite1: Hi, Geri!!!! You look GREAT! How are you feeling tonight?

StarAtNick: Geri: Great!! I'm excited to be here in America and to be able
to  see you guys!

CsnSkeetr: Yo, Geri, what's up?

NickEmcee: Geri: You're my favorite singer and I love your new CD! What
are you going to do this summer?

StarAtNick: Geri: I think I'll be coming back to America promoting this
album and coming around your house for a cup of tea!

NickEmcee: Geri, how did you come up with a cool song like "Look at Me"?

StarAtNick: Geri: I wrote that song to show we shouldn't be obsessed what
we  look like it's more important what's on the inside!

CsnSkeetr: Geri, I'm huge in the States.  You ever seen my show?

StarAtNick: Geri: Nope. Sorry!

NickEmcee: Geri, do you still have all your shoes?

StarAtNick: Geri: I sold them all off to raise money for kids with cancer.
I've got maybe a couple of pairs left.

CsnSkeetr: You don't know what you're missin.  I'll teach you to dance.

StarAtNick: Flat is a little bit more practical.

NickEmcee: We have time for one more question....

StarAtNick: Geri: Thank you, I need all the help I can get! A good friend
of  mine bought me a watch. It was my favorite birthday present.

CsnSkeetr: Yo, Geri, I'm from Atlanta, but I can speak British.

StarAtNick: Geri: What's the difference, Skeeter? I can speak Atlantic!

NickEmcee: Geri, how long did your latest album take you to make?

StarAtNick: Geri: I wrote it from start to finish, from the beginning of
last  summer up until Christmas and I put my heart and soul into it. And
the idea is that it should keep you company if you feel lonely or need a
lift up. Hopefully even your mothers will like this because I sing about
women's things.

NickEmcee: Do you ever become friends with fans?? Like actual friends!!!

StarAtNick: Geri: Yes, the other day there were some kids outside my house
and I invited them in for a cup of tea and we had a chat. I consider all
of my fans my friends. Maybe Skeeter will be my friend!

CsnSkeetr: You sound like a nice person.  I'm a fan.  Even if you've never
seen me.

NickEmcee: Skeeter and Geri: What kind of music do you guys like?

StarAtNick: Geri: Anything that has got a good heart and good rhythm and a
good melody. I like my  music!

CsnSkeetr: I like Geri's music.  Make sure she knows I said that.

StarAtNick: Geri: I like the Rugrats. I've go to go now so I want to send
everyone  a big fat kiss

CsnSkeetr: Send me one!

StarAtNick: Geri: Good-bye and thanks to all that have supported me ciao

NickEmcee: Thanks Geri
