In happier celebrity marital news …

Well, more girl power to 'em. That piquant new mama Posh Spice (nee Victoria Adams) and her soccer star beau, David Beckham, are planning to tie the knot where Irish eyes are smiling. According to the Sun newspaper, what the high-profile celebs want -- what they really, really want -- is a church wedding, which is set to take place in Dublin on July 4.

"And for 20 years, people have been begging me to make a musical out of it. It's a natural." Tom Meehan ("Annie") will collaborate with Brooks on the script. Mike Ockrent ("Me and My Girl") is likely to direct, and David Geffen may produce the musical, which could be ready for an initial run-through by December. Could it be that, like the shifty producers in the film, Brooks has some kind of "take the money and run" scam up his sleeve? Naaah ...
