Movie critics group friends Facebook flick

NEW YORK » The National Society of Film Critics has named "The Social Network" the best picture of 2010.

LONDON » Team Beckham is expecting another addition.

Soccer star David Beckham and wife Victoria are expecting their fourth child later this year, the former England captain posted yesterday on his Facebook account.

"I’ve got some great news to tell you all," Beckham wrote. "Victoria and I are expecting our fourth child this summer. The boys are very excited about the arrival of a new brother or sister."

The pair, who married in 1999 and whose celebrity is entrenched on both sides of the Atlantic, already have three boys: Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5.

David Beckham played 115 soccer matches for England — a national record for an outfielder — and captained the team from 2000 to 2006. Victoria Beckham found fame as a singer with 1990s band the Spice Girls.
