Where did you learn THAT, Cruz Beckham?
Updated 11:29am on 18 Apr 2008He may be just three years and two months, but the littlest Beckham is already showing a rebellious streak.
A cranky Cruz certainly gave onlookers a piece of his mind as he arrived with his family to celebrate his mother's 34th birthday in LA yesterday.
The toddler very cheekily flashed his middle finger as the group made their way through the crowd perched up on his father's arm.

Beckhams behaving badly: Three-year-old Cruz's flashed a rude gesture in LA yesterday; David Beckham sparked controversy with the gesture at Euro 2000
But he's not the first Beckham boy to raise eyebrows with the gesture.
David sparked huge controversy when he flipped the finger at England fans after the team's 3-2 defeat against Portugal at the Euro 2000 in Holland.
Cruz's brothers Brooklyn, 9, and Romeo, 5, were better behaved, with the oldest carrying a giant 'Happy Birthday' balloon in honour of the occasion.

Family affair: birthday girl Victoria heads off for lunch with David and their boys in LA yesterday
Not so posh: the party dined at Mexican restaurant Pink Taco
Victoria rang in her 34th birthday with a low-key lunch at Pink Taco, a kitsch LA restaurant that serves buckets of beer and £4 Mexican meals.
It's not exactly the kind of spectacular, no-expense-spared birthday party one would expect from the self-appointed queen of posh, Posh.
A night earlier, the Beckhams dined at Eva Longoria's restaurant with their favourite couple of moment – Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman.

Glum: despite the special occasion Posh still couldn't muster a smile
According to the source, the actor is keen to put some distance between his actress wife and Victoria.
A source told Closer magazine: "They aren't in contact like they used to be and Posh is missing their friendship.
"Victoria's not close to the other mums at the boys LA school or the other wives of the LA Galaxy players."
Tom is said to be particularly concerned that his glamorous actress wife has lost so much weight recently, and at the fact that Katie and Victoria appear to have morphed into each other.

Well said Louise, I totally agree with you. Why don't people just give her a break. She can not do anything right without someone putting her down all the time. Look at your own lives?

With reference to the comment from "D Railed" about class, you're just jealous. Can't say that your address in Euston sounds very classy.

So she took her sons to eat at a place they'd enjoy, on her birthday.
Er, so?

"self-appointed queen of posh"
Exactly, the woman couldn't even spell class let alone have any.

Give the woman a break. She gets complaints if she "poshes" up too much and then when she goes out for her birthday with her children to a children friendly place she gets accused of being tacky. She clearly can't win.

Is everyone aware that "pink taco" is a euphemism for female genitalia?
