Posh Victoria's new Friends

WITH a month still to go before the big Beckham emigration to Los Angeles, JENNIFER ANISTON has emerged as the latest household name with a connection to the showbiz couple.

I can reveal that VICTORIA knows the Essex builder who is currently bunked up with Friends actress Jen.

Posh met brickie-turned-model PAUL SCULFOR, when he dated her lifelong pal Maria Louise Featherstone back in the days when they all lived in Essex.

Paul and Maria Louise are still good friends and the make-up artist met up with him for dinner the last time she was in LA.

He confessed there was a new lady in his life but didn’t say who.

And I reckon it won’t be long before the Beckhams invite Jen and Paul to join their gang.

A source said: “Maria Louise and Paul were the genuine article for two years. His modelling career meant he was going all over the world and Maria Louise was busy with her job doing make up on big films and for Victoria.

“They split up on really good terms and remain friends. They still have a lot of shared pals.

“The last time Maria Louise was over she went for dinner with Paul and they had a great laugh. He was coy about his new woman and she couldn’t believe her eyes when she found out it was Jennifer.”

Team Posh is chalking up A-list pals at an impressive rate.

With the Aniston link it’s now starting to shape up like a West Coast answer to the Central Perk coffee shop in Friends.

My graphics wiz has mocked up how Posh’s Californian cappuccino club will look.

J-LO, KATIE HOLMES and TOM CRUISE are all in the intimate circle.But despite her growing army of celeb chums, Victoria’s closest pal is still Maria Louise.

They have been best buddies since they were five-year-olds at school.

I wonder if they will be Jen’s new Phoebe and Monica?
