Victoria Beckham has raised the stakes for her auction to raise funds for UNICEF.

The Beckham's are hosting a pre- World Cup party on May 21st and have 2million British Pound pounds worth of jewellery for the auction.

Not content with a 1 million British Pound diamond necklace donated by jeweller Asprey, Victoria has received watches from the exclusive Jacob and Co.

An insider told the Mirror that the ex- Spice girl talked the exclusive jeweller into donating a pair of diamond encrusted his and her watches.

The source said:" When Victoria went to New York recently she went to see the Jacob and Co designer to twist his arm so he'd donate something for the auction.

She came back with two of the most expensive watches the company makes." Coleen happy with her fashion career

Coleen Mc Loughlin has said in a recent interview that she is happy with her career. The 20 year old has built a successful fashion career since being in the limelight.

She told Marie Claire magazine that she is 'she is much happier now that she is earning her own money through writing, modelling and advertising' rather than relying on Wayne's good fortune.

In the last year, her reported earnings have topped nearly 6 million British Pound, beating the no.1 footballer's wife Victoria Beckham.

As well as designing a clothing range with Asda, she is busy promoting LG mobile phones and writing her own column in Closer magazine.

She added:" I bought a Fendi bag for 2,000 British Pound," she said. "But I bought that after I did my fitness video and I thought, 'I've worked for that bag. That's my money and I can spend it how I want'.
