Excuse me: Victoria Beckham walks past Hollywood great Shirley MacLaine and blanks her before getting into her chauffeur-driven car with son Brooklyn

If looks could kill, as they saying goes, then it's fair to say oblivious Victoria Beckham wouldn't have fared well in this exchange.

Doyenne of the silver screen Shirley MacLaine looks down her nose as Posh waltzes out of a pre-Oscars party to her car.

The celebrity showdown was captured last week outside Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills - although it's not known what events led up to it.

One thing is for sure, MacLaine - the Hollywood veteran - doesn't look like she would have offered Mrs Beckham a Term Of Endearment.

La Becks was heading with son Brooklyn for the car, but doesn't appear to have stopped for a polite chat with Warren Beatty's elder sister.

Perhaps she didn't recognise the 75-year-old who had made 28 films before she was even born. Well, she is new in town.

The singer turned WAG turned successful fashion designer could possibly to do with brushing-up on who's who in Hollywood.


How rude: Award-winning actress Shirley was suitably unimpressed by the snub


Victoria was with by her eldest son Brooklyn, 11, and was dressed in jeans, heels and what appeared to be a fur coat.

The picture was taken last Saturday, before this week's tragic news that Victoria's ex-boyfriend, Lost Boys star Corey Haim, died of a suspected overdose aged 38.

The pair briefly dated in 1995 before the Spice Girls hit the big-time the following year.

Although they hadn't had any contact for a number of years, she was still shocked to learn of his sudden death, according to a report.

Meanwhile fellow Spice Girl Mel C wants the band members' children to form their own group in the future.

The singer gave birth to the latest 'Spice baby' last year when her daughter Scarlet was born, bringing the total number of Spice Girls offspring to eight.

She said: 'The Spice brood is constantly growing and I think they're destined for great things. They'll be either a band or a football team.'

Joining Scarlet is Emma Bunton's son Beau, Mel B's two daughters Angel and Phoenix Chi, Victoria's sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and Geri Halliwell's daughter Bluebell.
