According to numerous reports, Victoria Beckham went on a wild shopping spree in Milan over the holidays.

ContactMusic, for example, claimed she “came close to spending a whopping $1.6 million (£1 million) on designer goods.”

Among the gifts she reportedly lavished upon herself and husband David Beckham “were a $640,000 (£400,000) Rolex watch for the soccer ace and four sofas for their home worth $64,000 (£40,000).”

That article and others even quote her saying, “I did spend too much. Shopping is like a drug. The more you have the more you want.” She allegedly added that when she’s on Milan’s famed shopping street Via Montenapoleone, “It’s as if all of those wonderful shops are calling out to me, saying, ‘Come and buy me! Come and buy me!’”

Gossip Cop investigated…

Here’s what’s true: Her name is Victoria Beckham

Here’s what’s not true: EVERYTHING ELSE.

Victoria Beckham has NOT been back to Milan in SEVEN MONTHS, so the supposed shopping spree NEVER happened.

Also, she NEVER gave an interview in which she said those things.

The story originally appeared in the Daily Express, but curiously is no longer available on the paper’s website.

Us Weekly is reporting that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz‘s marriage to Pete Wentz is in trouble because her ”splurging habits are out of control.” 

According to the mag’s unnamed source, “Things are getting strained” between the parents of Bronx, because the “Chicago” star supposedly “keeps spending all his money.” In fact, the tab claims Simpson-Wentz recently “spent over $20,000 on his credit cards and acted like it was nothing. He’s over it!”

A few questions: Where was the shopping spree? When? What did she buy? 

Us doesn’t have any of those answers, just allegations.

When pressed, a rep for both of them unequivocally told Gossip Cop that Us‘ “piece is a fabrication,” adding that the so-called “strained” couple “just celebrated their son’s first birthday together.”
