Brooklyn Beckham's family rift deepens as he turns back on UK by splashing out £11m on LA mansion with wife Nicola Peltz
BROOKLYN Beckham has bought a US mansion with his wife — in a move likely to deepen the divide with his parents.
Influencer Brooklyn, 26, and actress Nicola Peltz, 30, exchanged on the £10.5million property in Hollywood last week after previously renting.

It means he has put down roots 5,540 miles from his London-based dad David and mum Victoria - and shows no sign of returning home any time soon.
Last night a source said: 'Brooklyn's wife is American, as are her family whom he adores, and he feels his life now is Stateside.
'As an influencer he can work from anywhere but Brooklyn believes he has more opportunities in LA. It will be a dagger to the heart for his parents.
"Until now, the couple have always been renting so there was hope his relocation wouldn't be permanent.
'This house purchase quashes any last hopes.'
The stunning five-bedroom, six-bathroom property boasts a state-of-the-art home cinema, gym and infinity pool.
Meanwhile, newly knighted former England captain David had lunch at an East End pie and mash shop with his mum Sandra and sister Jo.

The dad of four revealed that his mother cried when she heard he was to be a Sir — and also wept during their meal.
News of Brooklyn's house purchase comes after he snubbed his dad on Father's Day.
David proudly displayed photos of his eldest son on Instagram — amid silence from across the Atlantic.
The duo have not spoken since Becks turned 50 on May 2.
Nicola, daughter of billionaire Nelson, has been accused of driving a wedge between parents and son, 'effectively holding him hostage'.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn is said to blame his younger brother Romeo's ex Kim Turnbull.
However, the DJ hit back this week after breaking up with Romeo, vehemently denying claims she previously dated Brooklyn.
She posted online: 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.'

Nicole Scherzinger 'shelves her upcoming solo album' following Broadway success
has reportedly 'shelved her upcoming solo album' following her success on Broadway. The singer, 45, who cancelled The Pussycat Dolls reunion shows in 2022, hasn't released a solo album since her 2014 dance-pop record, Big Fat Lie, failed to chart. She was said to be working on an album in 2022 but made her debut as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard in London the following year. The show then transferred to Broadway, where it has earned her both a Tony and a Laurence Olivier Award. Nicole is said to have 'spent a fortune' on her album after being dropped from her record label in 2015. A source told The Sun: 'Things were really coming together and she was hunting for a team to release it when Sunset Boulevard came along.' They added: 'The plan was to revisit the album after the West End run finished last year, but the show ended up going to Broadway and now she has loads of exciting offers on the table. 'She is in a totally different place in her life from when she wrote the album, so it's been shelved.' MailOnline has contacted Nicole Scherzinger's representative for comment. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has described Nicole as 'one of the most gifted singer-actresses I have seen perform my work… she is fearless, musically and dramatically.' After the Tony Awards last week, Nicole posted a video on Instagram during the ceremony where she performed a Sunset Boulevard number. In the gushing post, she wrote: 'This is a dream come true for me to perform As If We Never Said Goodbye. 'This is my love letter to the theatre. And to anyone with a deep passion for what you do, this was for you too.' She added: 'What an honour to share this song with a community that has held me and lifted me. I am forever grateful. As she accepted her Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical award, for her performance of fading Hollywood star Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Nicole said: 'Growing up I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home at last.' She then thanked her fiancé Thom Evans, adding he 'believes in me when I forget to believe in myself.' She also said: 'I'm so honoured to be recognised alongside these exceptional warrior women in this category. I want to thank you all so much for making this little Hawaiian/ Ukrainian/ Filipino girl's dream come true. So proud to represent.' After she thanked her family, she then thanked composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, sharing: 'It has been such an honour to be able to create with you the past 15 years.' Nicole has defied the odds to become the babe of Broadway, when just a few years ago, it would have seemed impossible for the former Pussycat Doll to win such a gong. Following a 'flop' attempt at a solo singing career after the pop group disbanded in 2010, her stage career had also looked doomed following a vicious spat with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber - despite her shout out to him on Sunday. Nine years ago, the former Pussycat Doll had just pulled out of his Broadway production of Cats at the last minute to take a seven-figure salary to return as a judge on ITV's X Factor. Furious Lord Webber declared that she would never 'get her Tony Award'. Lord Webber had raged: 'I'm furious because I really believe she's the most fantastically talented girl and I went out on a limb... but never mind, there'll be another girl on Broadway and Nicole will not get her Tony Award.' But following raving reviews in his new Sunset Boulevard show, Nicole has become Lloyd Webber's shining diamond on Broadway - and not only has he eaten his words, but he's become her biggest cheerleader. She has also appeared in Men in Black 3, voiced a role in Disney's Moana, and starred in stage productions of Rent and Cats.

I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer has fans MELT DOWN over Jennifer Love Hewitt callback
Sony Pictures threw fans into a frenzy with the release of their new trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer, which features an epic callback. The film is a continuation of the 1997 film of the same name, which starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe as four teens who cover up a horrific accident, only for that to come back to haunt them a year later. Instead of rebooting the story entirely, this new project - in theaters July 18 - brings back Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the original, as they try to help a new group of kids being stalked by a killer fisherman. The studio released the first trailer back in April that offered a first look at Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. along with the new cast. This trailer offers a slew of new footage, with the trailer ending with Love Hewitt repeating her iconic line from the first film - 'What are you waiting for?' Fans quickly took to social media to praise the trailer and this eagerly-awaited callback and offer their theories as to who the killer in the black slicker really is. The trailer opens with Danica Richards (Madelyn Cline)'s engagement party, where her friends Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers) and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) have gathered. Danica opens one last card, which only has the cryptic title phrase written on it - "I Know What You Did Last Summer" - as they show a flashback to an accident similar to the one from the original film. Also like the original film, the group of friends swore that night never to tell anyone about what happened, but clearly someone knew, and is coming after them. When they dismiss any notion of going to the cops, they track down both Julie and Ray, survivors of the now-infamous Southport Massacre of 1997. The trailer features Julie and Ray trying to help the friends, with one cryptic shot even showing Ray pointing a gun at someone off camera. Another shot shows Julie telling Ava, 'Get them, before they get you,' adding, 'Whoever is doing this, it's personal to them.' One of the final shots shows Julie telling one of the other youngsters, 'We are not gonna die today,' though the final line had all the fans talking. The final shot showed a subdued Love Hewitt saying to someone off camera, 'What are you waiting for?' calling back to her famous line in the original where she screamed it out loud for her killer to hear, that has become one of the film's most lasting moments. Fans didn't hesitate to react on social media, with X user Robert Anthony (@robanthonyeadon) stating in all caps, 'JULIE SAID IT!!!' Aussie Corpse (@adam_mossman) quote-retweeted that tweet, adding, '#jenniferlovehewitt said THE THING! #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer.' Amy Koto (@TV_Fanatic_Girl) shared a GIF of Love Hewitt's line from the original, adding, 'Ohhh she said it!' Fear Horror Guru (@fearqueerhorror) said, 'Queen #jenniferlovehewitt will always have the last words #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer #horror.' Nick Greeley (@NickGreeley) added, 'She said the thing!' while another X user, JayJay (@JJ353774) recalled how the original line first came to be. 'The kid who won the contest which allowed him to direct a scene & requested Jennifer Love Hewitt say 'what are you waiting for' has now paid off twice. #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer,' he said. Back in 2018, while promoting her role on Fox's 9-1-1, Love Hewitt revealed to US Weekly that was actually at the direction of an unnamed kid. 'That scene was actually directed by a kid who won a contest to come on and create a moment for the movie, and it became the biggest part of the movie,' she began. 'I have no idea where he is but he's like I want her to stand in the street and turn around and just scream "What are you waiting for, huh?" I was literally like, "Are you kidding me right now? This is what I'm gonna do? OK. This was a great idea,"' she admitted. She joked, 'Every Halloween, I'll be wherever with friends in different neighborhoods and somebody will have a little too much of something while they're trick or treating and they'll come around the corner and be like, "What are you waiting for, huh?" I'm like, "Not you buddy, keep moving. Keep moving."' It's really funny, it makes me laugh.' I Know What You Did Last Summer grossed $126 million worldwide from just a $17 million budget. It spawned the 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the 2006 straight-to-video film I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.

Mariska Hargitay drops shock bombshell about car crash that killed her mother Jayne Mansfield
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay has revealed a hair-raising new detail about the tragedy that blew her life apart when she was a child. Her mother Jayne Mansfield was one of the reigning sex symbols of the 1950s, a screen siren and Playboy Playmate who with Promises! Promises! became the first star actress to feature naked in an American movie since the advent of talkies. Jayne's saucy career ran alongside a tempestuous personal life that included a roaring drinking problem and affairs with men as prominent as John F. Kennedy. She was tragically killed at the age of 34 in a grisly car accident - with three of her children, including three-year-old Mariska, in the backseat. Now Mariska, 61, has made a documentary called My Mom Jayne, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival last week and contains a shock bombshell about the crash. In the movie, Mariska's siblings remember that they were pulled out of the wreck and taken to safety, only to realize later that Mariska had been left behind, via People. Mariska's brother Zoltan tells her that Jayne had initially been in the backseat of the car but moved up front with her boyfriend Sam Brody while they were arguing. The children remained asleep in the back of the Buick Electra, where they survived the crash that killed Jayne, Sam and the driver Ronald Harrison. 'I often think about why she didn't just stay in the backseat with us?' said Zoltan. 'But I remember her comforting me, telling me I was going to be fine. Twenty minutes later, half an hour, I heard her scream so loud, and that was it.' Zoltan, who was just shy of his seventh birthday at the time of the crash, chillingly remembered: 'It felt like my skin didn't move, because it was bloody all over.' Some adults rescued Zoltan and his then eight-year-old brother Mickey Jr., but after the boys were retrieved from the scene, Zoltan realized Mariska was not with them. Their stepmother Ellen Hargitay revealed that when Mariska was eventually found in the car, she had injured her head and was wedged under a passenger seat. Jayne gave birth to Mariska while married to her second husband Mickey Hargitay, who raised the little girl after her mother was killed. However, in the documentary, Mariska announces that her biological father was in fact one Nelson Sardelli, who is still alive in his 90s. In spite of her stardom, Jayne's movie roles were eclipsed by a whirlwind love life that included three failed marriages, the second of which was to the Hungarian heartthrob Mickey Hargitay, who earned the bodybuilding title Mr. Universe in 1955. One year later, Jayne saw Mickey performing backup in Mae West's nightclub act and told the waiter: 'I'll have a steak and the man on the left.' They married in 1958, with Jayne in a pink sequin bridal gown, and he promptly began appearing in her movies like Primitive Love and The Loves Of Hercules. Offscreen their marriage was infamously turbulent, rocked by Jayne's affair with Italian producer Enrico Bomba, which unfolded in the headlines. By the time Jayne discovered she was pregnant with Mariska, she and Mickey had already procured a quickie divorce in Juarez, Mexico. In order to avoid the opprobrium of having a baby out of wedlock, Jayne and Mickey briefly kept up the appearance of being married stateside, but once Mariska was born, Mickey had the Mexican divorce officially recognized by a California court. As the years went by, Jayne's career deteriorated and her personal life was scarred by a third divorce and a spiraling descent into alcoholism. Reduced to playing the nightclub circuit, the woman once touted as 'the working man's Marilyn Monroe' found herself staging 'wardrobe malfunctions' for publicity and throwing herself into drunken brawls. After Jayne's tragic death, Mariska moved in with Mickey, who was able to provide her with a stable upbringing until she ventured into acting herself, most famously with her popular role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. 'I think I learned about crisis very young,' she told Glamour while reflecting on her mother's death: 'and I learned very young that s*** happens and there's no guarantees, and we keep going. And then we transform it.' She added: 'That's been kind of my superpower, and the gift of having trauma early in life. I've spent the last 50 - how old am I? - 57, so 54 years sort of trying to figure out what happened and why, and what am I supposed to do with it?' Mariska recalled: 'I clearly was in that frozen place for a lot of my childhood—of trying to survive, actually trying to survive. My life has been a process of unpeeling the layers and trust and trusting again.'
