“David and Victoria Beckham spend over $2,000 on designer ‘teacup’ pigs,” reported the New York Daily News. And Perez Hilton claimed, “Victoria Beckham has splurged on TWO of the latest celebrity must-have accessory – the micro-pig… they are a Christmas present for husband David Beckham.”

Wait, so did the couple go hog wild together on the pig purchase, as reported by the New York Daily News, or is “Cop Blocker” Hilton correct that Posh picked up the pricey porkers herself as a gift for Becks?

Yes, Gossip Cop decided to investigate Pig-Gate – and get the trough, the whole trough, and nothing but the trough.

Sorry to sling mud, but neither the Daily News nor Hilton are right. A source close to the Beckhams tells Gossip Cop the hogs “were a gift from Victoria’s mom.”

Gossip Cop’s repeated calls to the pigs for a statement were not returned. (Just kidding.)
