Aspiring chef Brooklyn Beckham whips up a pasta dish in the kitchen amid plans to take over food industry - after liquor line setback and his ongoing family feud
The son of David and Victoria Beckham, 26, has launched a whole host of culinary partnerships in recent months as well as his very own hot sauce brand, Cloud23.
He also hoped to create his own liquor line but was forced to withdraw his application to avoid a trademark dispute with German booze brand Beck's.
Despite the setback, Brooklyn got straight back into the kitchen as he shared his latest advertisement with Italian pasta producer Barilla.
The aspiring chef took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a video of himself whipping up a vegetarian Fusilloni dish in the kitchen.
He revealed it was one of his 'favourite' meals as he detailed how to make the creamy zucchini and asparagus pasta dish.
Brooklyn, who is married to Nicola Peltz, first put the pasta on to boil before chopping up the asparagus and other vegetables, which he then stirred into a creamy sauce.
At the end of the clip, Brooklyn tasted a single piece of pasta which he dipped in a cream sauce - though it did not appear to be the complete dish he had whipped up.
'It's so good,' he declared before flashing a smile to the camera.
Bottles of his Cloud23 sauce could also be seen on the shelf in the background as he also plugged his other business venture.
In a caption, he added: 'This is one of my favorite dishes – simple, satisfying and full of flavor from zucchini, onion, squash, and asparagus.
'What truly makes this dish shine is the pasta itself. The rough texture of Barilla Al Bronzo pasta clings to sauce effortlessly, so every bite is rich and flavorful.
'With a sauce this delicious, I want to savor every last drop. Italians call that gesture Scarpetta, and Barilla Al Bronzo does it perfectly!
'I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.'
BROOKLYN'S BARILLA FUSILLONI RECIPE
Fusilloni with Creamy Vegetable Sauce
Ingredients
• 1 Package Barilla Al Bronzo Fusilloni pasta

• 1 cup asparagus, diced

• To taste, salt and black pepper
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook pasta according to package directions
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet sauté onion with half the olive oil for two minutes over medium heat
3. Increase the heat and add zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, cook for two minutes, then deglaze with white wine. Evaporate, add cream, salt and pepper and bring to boil.
4. Drain pasta and toss with veggies and spinach for one minute.

His latest culinary venture comes after Brooklyn was faced with a setback when he was forced to withdraw a trademark application for his liquor line.
He also hoped to create his own liquor line but was forced to withdraw his application to avoid a trademark dispute with German booze brand Beck's.
This week, Brooklyn gave up on his plan to create his own liquor line – after being handed a headache by the firm behind German booze brand Beck's.
He hoped to expand his Cloud23 hot sauce line with more food and drink options and had applied to trademark Becks Buns in the US so he could sell beer and spirits.
However, the company that makes Beck's beer challenged it and was given time to bring a case against Brooklyn's line before his application was passed.
Parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co opposed it and had been granted an extension to file documents to try and sink Brooklyn's plan.
Brooklyn then filed papers with the US Patent and Trademark Office to remove 'beer' and 'distilled spirits; wine; mirin in the nature of Japanese shochu-based mixed liquor' from his application to avoid going to war with the drinks firm.
Brooklyn launched his first hot sauce, Cloud 23, last year and said: 'It's been a passion project of mine for the last two and a half years, something I've literally put everything into.'
In his personal life, Brooklyn also appears to be locked in a family feud with his parents and brothers over his relationship with his wife and US heiress Nicola Peltz.
Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his brothers Cruz and Romeo in the latest twist in the family drama.
However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform.
This would make sense given Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, are still following his parents Victoria, 51, and David, 50.
In his personal life, Brooklyn appears to be locked in a family feud with his parents and brothers over his relationship with his wife and US heiress Nicola Peltz
Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this week but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it - which Nicola reposted.
There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday on Thursday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp.
Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month.
Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park.
David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.
The news that Cruz and Romeo had blocked their older brother followed Cruz's many pointed digs towards Brooklyn on social media last month.
Amid the escalating feud, Romeo stepped in as he shared a very pointed statement about 'appreciating people that love you' and insisted 'life was too short' to not tell people you care about them.
Brooklyn and Romeo have been living a somewhat fractious relationship over the last few months following claims Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull was the reason behind their rift.
Kim addressed the speculation June 16 and insisted she has only ever had a friendship with the eldest Beckham son.
Sharing a statement on her Instagram page, she said: 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.
'I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.
'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.
'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.'
Kim had been at the centre of the row after Nicola claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers - which she then denied.
Last month, Romeo and Kim then split after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance 'fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday.
Following their split, friends said things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart.

George Lucas makes Comic-Con debut for Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
SAN DIEGO, July 27 (Reuters) - Excited fans waved glowing "Star Wars" lightsabers on Sunday at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for George Lucas' latest project, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Along with Lucas, the panel included director Guillermo del Toro and Doug Chiang, vice president of Disney's (DIS.N), opens new tab Lucasfilm, with Queen Latifah moderating at the San Diego Convention Center. Attendees shouted "Lucas! Lucas! Lucas!" and clapped their hands in anticipation of the "Star Wars" creator's arrival, and gave the 81-year-old Lucas a standing ovation as he took his seat. "Opening in 2026, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is a first-of-its-kind institution dedicated to illustrated storytelling across time, cultures, and media," a press release from the museum said. The 11-acre campus, in Exposition Park in Los Angeles, will include a green space and a 300,000-square-foot building with galleries, two theaters, a library, restaurant, café, and retail and community spaces. Some of its collection will include art from comic book artist Jack Kirby, painter Norman Rockwell and illustrator Kadir Nelson, as well as a Lucas archive with models, props, concept art and costumes. "I love all art, no matter what it is," Lucas said after showing a video that gave a sneak peek at the museum. The video included renderings of the museum interior and exterior, as well as the museum's broad range of art ranging from more traditional fine art and comic book strips to "Star Wars" sculptures and installations. Lucas began the panel recalling his days as a college student struggling to pursue his dream of becoming an art collector due to the steep cost of fine art. But the filmmaker found an affordable exception with comic books, sold cheaply in "underground" markets. Now, rather than selling art he collected over around 50 years, Lucas said he prefers to create what he calls a "temple to the people's art." Lucas kept the conversation focused on the museum and did not discuss "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones." For del Toro, the museum offers a visual past that belongs to everyone" and can't be erased, noting that he may move some of his personal art collection to the Lucas Museum. Part of the liberation that comes with narrative art for the "Pan's Labyrinth" director also means that art can't be made with a computer app, as it lacks "personality and knowledge."

Love Island viewers call out producers for Helena and Harry's 'sad edit' after their split as they insist 'we're not buying it'
Love Island viewers have slammed producers for giving Helena Ford and Harry Cooksley a 'sad edit'. During Sunday's episode, the pair ended their romance for the second time after Harry admitted to still having feelings for Shakira Khan. The split came after a very explosive night at The Grafties where Harry came under fire for expressing interest in Shakira just days after going exclusive with Helena. Following a row at the firepit where Helena said she was 'done', the pair later had an emotional chat where they confirmed their romance was over and hugged it out. Later in the day Harry was seen crying in the bedroom and Helena asked if he was okay before giving him another intense embrace. But viewers were sceptical of the scenes and criticised producers for laying sad music over their conversations. Viewers said they 'weren't buying it' when it came to the 'sad edit', as they felt it was an ill-judged attempt at a 'redemption arc' for Harry. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, they said: 'I wonder if the producers realise that we're not buying it? Why is Helena acting like this is Harry's last day on Earth?'; 'I actually don't care about the saga between Harry and Helena so please end it tonight!'; 'I hope to god Helena's friends and family have a long talk with her about her self worth and how she allows people to treat her when she gets home. It makes me sad to see how much she was willing to accept and even watching her hug Harry and say she'll miss him!'; 'WHAT WAS THAT SONG DURING THE HARRY AND HELENA MOMENT ("i know i don't deserve you blah blah"),'; 'Turn this emotional music off, the Helena sad girl edit is not going to work. She was soooo horrible to Shakira when she was with Harry I cba,'; 'This whole episode is the sad Harry show & I'm done with it tbh. They've given Harry more support than either Shakira or Helena, I don't understand,'; '"I'm going to miss you" Helena, Harry isn't dying, you'll see each other at events and be back mates in no time,'; 'Why are they acting like Helena/Harry was a love for the ages? I cannot deal!'; 'Can we move on from this Helena and Harry sob story now,'; The split came after a very explosive night at The Grafties where Harry came under fire for expressing interest in Shakira just days after going exclusive with Helena Following a row at the firepit where Helena said she was 'done', the pair later had an emotional chat where they confirmed their romance was over and hugged it out Later in the day Harry was seen crying in the bedroom and Helena asked if he was okay before giving him another intense embrace But viewers were sceptical of the scenes and criticised producers for laying sad music over their conversations Viewers said they 'weren't buying it' when it came to the 'sad edit', as they felt it was an ill-judged attempt at a 'redemption arc' for Harry 'They really gave Harry the redemption arc sickening,'; 'Are we supposed to care about Harry and Helena splitting up'; 'Is this episode meant to be music and Harry and Helena crying the whole episode in some attempt of a redemption arc,'; 'Can they wrap up this Harry and Helena storyline?? We are halfway through this episode and nothing has happened by tears ???'; 'No one else left in the villa. Why is it a harry and Helena episode. They broke up let's move on.' The aftermath of the Grafties continued for many of the Islanders during Sunday's episode, including Harry who came back into the Villa after sleeping outside. Sitting together inside, Harry and Shakira debriefed about how they were feeling. Harry said: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and Harry] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are. I'm sorry I never like tried again. I really thought the door was just, like, slammed.' Shakira replied: 'Do you want some home truths… it's obviously the way you go about it and the steps you take in between to come to these conclusions obviously hurt people along the way. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, they said: 'I wonder if the producers realise that we're not buying it? Why is Helena acting like this is Harry's last day on Earth?' 'It's all well and good you saying "hold my hands up guys, sorry" but you still hurt people.' 'And it's a pattern,' she added, before Harry confessed: 'Look, I'm either leaving here alone or with you.' Still feeling confused by the situation, Helena pulled Shakira to try and make sense of it. Shakira told Helena: 'Nothing's changed. There's been no miracle… I was saying I've not let myself heal over the situation and then he was like, "Same". I was like, "What?" He said, "I've not processed how I felt towards you, I've hopped into something with Helena." I don't understand it.' 'No, I don't understand it,' Helena said, before pulling Harry and asking him: 'Have you felt this way about Shakira this whole time?' Harry replied: 'I didn't, I just buried it all. I just didn't address any of my feelings and we were flying…' Helena went on to admit: 'I thought I had something genuine in here.' Later, Shakira too tried to make sense of how she was feeling, telling Harry: 'Like, how you're feeling now is not making sense from what I've seen for the past however many weeks.'

Shocking video appears to show baseball fans caught in vile sex act at Yankee Stadium
Two baseball fans appeared to be engaging in a sex act in the stands of Yankee Stadium in a shocking video that went viral on Sunday. The footage, which flooded social media, shows a man - wearing a Philadelphia Phillies jersey and cap - sitting alongside a woman near the top of the stands. Despite being surrounded by other fans - at what appears to be Yankee Stadium - the man appears to be performing a sexual act on the woman. 'This is f***ing insane,' one fan can be heard saying as the couple continues the act in broad daylight - and in clear sight of those around them. It is not immediately clear when the footage was taken but the Phillies have just spent the weekend in New York for a series against the Yankees. The two teams clashed again at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon, in the third and final game of the series. The footage - captured by another fan a few rows back - appeared on TikTok on Sunday. Around the same time, the Yankees secured a 4-3 win over the Phillies. Back in 2012, reports emerged that a couple was caught having sex in the bathrooms of Yankee Stadium during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. More recently, a man and his partner were accused of performing a sex act at the top of the stands during a game between the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners. Last year, meanwhile, an OnlyFans model claimed she and her boyfriend had sex in the parking lot outside Allegiant Stadium during the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs edged a thrilling 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers. And model Kaylee Killion claimed she had sex in the parking lot with her fiance, Cody Nelson.
