ALCOHOL-FREE BIRTHDAY SPARKS POSH SPICE PREGNANCY RUMOURS

Pop star-turned-fashion icon VICTORIA BECKHAM has sparked speculation she is pregnant with her fourth child, after steering clear of alcohol at her recent birthday celebrations.

The former Spice Girl turned 34 on 17 April (08) and celebrated her big day by partying with pals Eva Longoria Parker and Kate Beckinsale on the eve of her birthday in Los Angeles.

The celebrations continued through the weekend (20Apr08), when she threw a Hollywood bash for all of her celebrity friends, with guests including Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Will Smith, Sir Elton John, Gwen Stefani, Usher and Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

But the Wannabe singer didn't touch a drop of alcohol at the big party - and rumours are now rife the star and her husband David are preparing to welcome another addition to their growing family.

An eyewitness tells British newspaper News of the World, "Victoria likes to party with the best of them, especially on her birthday. So a champagne flute is no stranger to her hand. But she didn't touch a drop, which leaves you wondering whether she's already expecting her fourth child."

The Beckhams already have three boys: Brooklyn, nine; Romeo, five, and Cruz, three.
