Beckham Vassals Pinched for Pilfering

A couple who keep house for the Beckhams is being accused of keeping loot from Beckingham Palace -- and trying to hawk it on eBay.

Detectives in Hertfordshire popped Eric and June Emmett on suspicion of theft, according to coppers, after Posh's parents spotted some of David's soccer shoes being auctioned off on the Internet. The couple, who have worked for the Becks for 10 years, bailed out after questioning.

June tells the Daily Telegraph, "What is in the papers is fabricated nonsense. Totally fabricated, 99% of it is totally untrue." And the other one percent?

The funniest thing about the Beckham's is that TMZ keeps shoving them down our throats. American's do not support professional soccer, and Americans do not see David Beckham as a celebrity. One has to wonder how much Beckham's PR people are secretly paying TMZ to constantly feature him on the website in order to create a celebrity out of him.
