Out on the town in Hollywood to celebrate her 35th birthday, Victoria Beckham’s face showed all the excitement of a visit to a funeral parlour!

Why? Because the sullen Mrs Beckham doesn’t have the company of her husband David Beckham who was spending her birthday more than 6,000 miles away, in Italy where he is contracted to play the winter football season for AC Milan.

Even Posh’s close friends Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria couldn’t make the former Spice Girl smile as they arrived at the Hollywood eaterie Cecconi’s.

Even though David had paid his dues last weekend with an opulent meal and gift for his pouty faced wife’s birthday, it’s evident that it clearly wasn’t enough for the mother of three as she attempted to party with her parents and friends in Los Angeles.
