Cruz Beckham slams online trolls who questioned his musical talent and confused him with brother Brooklyn
CRUZ BECKHAM has shown he has both a good voice and a vicious tongue after sharing a video of himself singing on TikTok.
David and Victoria Beckham's youngest son is fighting to prove his musical chops and has hit back at his critics in a series of sassy messages after a string of comments questioning his ability.

And his estranged brother Brooklyn also inadvertently found himself in the firing line, after someone mixed them up and made a joke about Cruz's older brother's moves into photography, cookery and racing.
They wrote: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?'
Cruz replied: 'Wrong brother mate.'
He wasn't so polite with others though.
Another critic commented: 'He has the talent of an average teenage boy that just recently started learning guitar.'
Cruz, who has, to be fair, spent years working on his musicianship, said: 'It's easy to comment on TikTok isn't it. U think I care what you think darling x.'
Mocking his mum Posh Spice's vocal ability, one woman named Julie wrote: 'Definitely got his talent from his mam. I'd try football like ya dad.'
To many laughs from his followers, he hit back: 'Julie mate have u seen what u look like, maybe sort it out.'
I can't blame Cruz for getting short in the comments, given people have been so judgmental before even hearing what he has to offer.
I've heard very exciting things about his music after he worked with The Kooks' Luke Pritchard.

And this snippet he posted, which he suggested is from a song called For Ya Love, shows he has plenty of swagger.
In the short clip, he sings: 'Call me if you're looking for some fun,' before adding: 'Love's a ride that money cannot buy.'
With Glastonbury approaching at the end of the week, I'm keeping my fingers crossed Cruz will be finding a stage to perform on.
I'd love to see what he's got.

MOST celebs shy away from controversy – but not Chris Brown.
On the second night of his sold-out Breezy Bowl XX world tour at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, a friend told me he showed footage of himself at Manchester Magistrates Court on big screens as fans waved placards which read: 'From the cage to the stage.'
The rapper, who has pleaded not guilty, will stand trial next October for an alleged attack on a music producer in London in 2023.
Cardi copies Bey
CARDI B gave Beyonce a run for her money when she turned up to her Cowboy Carter tour in an outfit even more extravagant than half of those which the superstar wears on stage.
The rapper wore a tasseled fur corset with a matching coat and cowboy hat to the third and final show at Stade de France in Paris.
And she was in luck at the show, because Bey brought Jay-Z out to perform Crazy In Love, N****s in Paris and Partition – their first time on stage together in seven years.
Cardi herself may soon be back on stage as yesterday she started teasing the announcement of her long-awaited second album.
In an Instagram post, she said: 'Seven years, and the time has come. Seven years of love, light and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now I give them hell.
'I'm shedding feathers and no more tears.'
Something tells me she may be aiming some choice lyrics at her ex-husband Offset on this new project.
BOB'S NO MONEY ADVISER
CLEAN BANDIT have revealed Sir Bob Geldof gave them some seriously bad advice at the start of their career.
Speaking exclusively backstage at Sky Presents Isle of Wight Festival, Jack Patterson said the Boomtown Rat offered his wisdom in Spain.
Jack said: 'When we first got offered a record deal, we had some advice from Bob. We were trying to decide whether to do it or not. And he said, 'If anyone offers you money for your music, just take it'.
'I'm not sure that was the best decision for us. We're not doing that any more.'
Grace Chatto added: 'I was saying we'd be mad not to because we couldn't afford to pay our rent. And then Bob Geldof said that. So, we just did it. And then we were f***ed.'
BURNA BOY is playing a free O2 Priority gig at O2 Forum Kentish Town in North London.
The singer, who sold out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, last year will perform the intimate gig on July 16.
Tickets are available to O2 mobile and Virgin Media broadband customers through Priority, with the ballot currently open online.
ALESHA'S MIS-TEEQ TEASER
ALESHA DIXON has teased Mis-Teeq could stage a reunion in 2026 to coincide with their 25th anniversary.
The Noughties girl group, which also featured Su-Elise Nash and Sabrina Washington, had hits including Scandalous and One Night Stand before splitting in 2005.
But when asked about the prospect of a return during a discussion on the Hits Radio breakfast show yesterday, Alesha said: 'There might be.
'Well, next year is the 25th anniversary of Lickin' On Both Sides, our debut album. We're thinking. We're thinking.
'Thinking doesn't mean we're doing – but we're thinking, which is more than we've done.'
Justin does all Wight
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE closed the Isle of Wight Festival with a headline show, which was watched from the side of the stage by his wife Jessica Biel.
He wore shades and a red jacket as he entertained thousands of fans with hits including SexyBack, Cry Me A River and Rock Your Body on Sunday evening, following sets from Olly Murs and Texas.

Justin told his adoring fans said: 'I've been trying to get to Isle Of Wight for years and years and years and it's everything I thought it was.
'I've got a special place in my heart for the UK, for England, I have so much gratitude for you – welcome to the party. You made a Tennessee boy's dreams come true.'
IT is derided by music snobs as a silly contest, but even Ed Sheeran is a massive Eurovision fan and is desperate to go to the contest.
Ed, if that means you'd be up for representing the UK too, that would certainly improve our chances of winning again.
Referring to his Instagram story where he backed Italian Lucio Corsi's song Volevo Essere Un Duro at May's event, Ed said: 'I thought it was the best song. But then I felt bad because my friend Louane was on the show and I was like, 'Ah f**k, I don't know who to choose here'.'
Asked if he had ever been, Ed told an Italian radio station: 'I'd like to go. I watch it every year and it's one of my favourite things to do.
'But even if we have a good song it's usually not voted for because of us being Britain.'
NEMO smashed their Eurovision trophy on stage last year when they dropped it after winning in Sweden.
Now this year's victor, JJ from Austria, has revealed his statue has snapped in half too.
He wrote on TikTok: 'My suitcase came back broken. Therefore everything inside my suitcase was broken too… don't worry, we're getting it fixed.'
FANS WONDER AT NOEL SET LIST
OASIS' reunion set list is one of the most talked about topics of conversation in our office.
And while we know Cigarettes And Alcohol has made the cut, I'm told one fan classic might not be so lucky.
Insiders said Wonderwall, which is the most streamed Nineties hit ever, and a real singalong favourite, has become a huge source of contention.
While Liam Gallagher is happy to include it, Noel cannot bear it. My mole said: 'Oasis want to play their favourite tracks, as well as the ones loved by their fans.
'This setlist has been worked on tirelessly and the band want to make sure they get the right balance.
'When it comes to Wonderwall, Noel isn't a fan and doesn't particularly want it to feature.
'Liam has played it before at his solo concerts, he doesn't mind it, but Noel hasn't performed it since the group split because he thinks it's not a complete track. Seeing as it's one of Oasis' best known tracks, it would be astonishing if they didn't perform it.'
Fans will have to wait until the first night in Cardiff on July 4 to find out if Noel's wish has come true.
He has made no secret of his disdain for the 1995 track, which got to No2 in the charts and has been streamed well over one billion times.
Noel said: 'Wonderwall is one of my least favourite songs because it's not finished. If I could somehow twist time and go back there, I'd probably pick a different song for our calling card. Probably Some Might Say.'

300-year-old painting in the Uffizi damaged after visitor trips while trying to ‘make a meme'
A 300-year-old painting in Florence's Uffizi Gallery has allegedly been damaged after a visitor tripped while posing for a photo with the artwork. The Uffizi said the painting, a portrait of Tuscan prince Ferdinando de' Medici painted by Anton Domenico Gabbiani in 1712, was damaged after a visitor fell backwards while attempting to 'make a meme' in front of it. Security camera footage circulated by Italian media over the weekend showed a visitor leaning back and falling into the painting, with a closeup revealing a tear in the canvas. The Uffizi told the BBC that the individual had been identified by the police and reported to judicial authorities. Sign up for our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning The painting has been removed for repair, and the exhibition it was part of – featuring about 150 18th century masterpieces by artists including Goya, Tiepolo and Canaletto – has been closed until 2 July, after which it is expected to reopen with the painting back on display. The museum's director, Simone Verde, said in a statement: 'The problem of visitors coming to museums to make memes or take selfies for social media is rampant.' He said the Uffizi was considering imposing restrictions on visitor behaviour: 'We will set very precise limits, preventing behaviour that is not compatible with the sense of our institutions and respect for cultural heritage.' In a similar incident earlier this month, tourists damaged an artwork at the Palazzo Maffei in Verona while attempting to pose for a photo with it. The artwork – a crystal-encrusted chair by artist Nicola Bolla – 'shattered before their eyes', the museum said in a statement. 'It would be ridiculous – if it hadn't actually happened. A museum's worst nightmare,' the museum's director, Vanessa Carlon, said at the time. 'Sometimes we lose our brains to take a picture, and we don't think about the consequences.'

Passalacqua review: this Lake Como hotel is Italy at its most glamorous
You will quickly run out of superlatives at this lakefront 18th-century villa in Moltrasio where the composer Vincenzo Bellini wrote La Sonnambula. Its public rooms could grace a Fellini film set, complete with meticulously renovated stucco work, Murano chandeliers, antique and bespoke furniture and intriguing artworks. Beguiling views over the lake are available from the hotel and its lush seven acres of gardens. Food is by Viviana Varese, the Nigella Lawson of Italy, the colour-burst pool bar pavilion has been decorated by in-demand designer JJ Martin and the 24 bedrooms manage the delicate balancing act between being luxurious and yet relaxing. Service is, as you'd imagine, charming throughout. This article contains affiliate links, which may earn us revenue Score 10/10The prize rooms are the dozen in the villa. The eight found in the former stables are smaller but no less charming, and if you appreciate greater privacy or are travelling as a family the four rooms in a cottage — set within its own garden — can be hired for exclusive use. The owner Valentina De Santis is an internationally respected hotelier and since opening in 2022 Passalacqua has topped many world's best hotel lists. All the rooms are layered with brag-worthy, 'blow-the-budget' touches that embrace tradition and modernity. There are 'secret' minibars in bespoke etched-glass cabinets inspired by 18th-century designs and containing tasty treats freshly made by the kitchen. There are pin cushions, embroidered with the hotel's three fishes logo, complete with threaded needles in a range of colours as well as three top-of-the-range Dyson hair appliances in every marble-clad bathroom. Televisions are hidden in end-of-the-bed ottomans inspired by vintage steamer trunks so that they don't jar with the room's hand-painted wooden tables and gilded mirrors. Score 9/10 Viviana Verese's signature alta cucina di casa style (translated as refined home cooking) is the perfect foil to the villa's OTT interiors. The size of the hotel allows for flexibility over dining arrangements and guests can choose to eat under the frescoes of the trio of restaurant rooms, in the old-school bar, the pool bar, or by candlelight on the terrace. Dishes are simple with a focus on seasonal ingredients and so expertly executed that a humble garden salad becomes a work of art. The lake fish with vegetables is a local speciality and handled so cleverly here that its flavours are sensational. Save space for the handmade chocolates that end each meal and then pray you're hungry again by breakfast. It's one of the most theatrical available anywhere in the world, with a buffet of tempting fresh fruits, pungent cheeses, cured meats and indecently plump smoked salmon, with a white-hatted chef ready to make eggs any way, while a multi-tiered, fully loaded cake stand of cream- and custard-filled delights will be deposited by your table too. • Best Italian cities for food• Best villas in Italy with a pool Score 9/10The spa in the former stables has first-rate treatments by the Italian organic skincare range Seed to Skin. There is also a small but atmospheric thermal sauna and steam suite in a vaulted stone chamber in the 18th-century tunnels underneath the garden. A dimly lit passage leads to a spectacular indoor lap pool in a conservatory-style space that overlooks the lawns. The terraced gardens that tumble down to the waterfront are sublime with various activities on each tier including an outdoor swimming pool, a bocce court, a kitchen garden and a gym in a greenhouse. There are regular yoga and fitness classes as well as complimentary gelato-making workshops, mixology tutorials and flower-arranging lessons. Score 9/10Moltrasio is an unassuming village, with a great market and a steep hillside for soulful hikes. Como is a 30-minute drive south, and Bellagio is about 45 minutes by car to the north, although both are best reached by boat.
