Brooklyn Beckham locked in trademark war with Becks just weeks after family feud is laid bare

BROOKYLN Beckham has another row brewing with a Becks — but this time it’s not his famous father.

The eldest son of David and Victoria wants to expand his hot sauce brand so applied to trademark “Becks Buns” in the US.

But the company that makes Beck’s beer is set to challenge it.

It comes after the Beckham family feud was blown open last month when Brooklyn, 26, missed all of David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

A source said: “It’s one thing after another for Brooklyn.

“First his row with his dad blows up — and now he’s got another Beck’s looking like it’s going to become a bit of a headache.”

Brooklyn applied in January to use the name “Becks Buns” within his Buster Hot Sauce Inc company.

However, the beer’s German parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co has opposed it and been granted an extension until next month to file documents.

The company is part of alcohol giant AB InBev, which produces one in four lagers sold worldwide, including Stella Artois and Budweiser as well as Beck’s.

Brooklyn launched his first hot sauce, Cloud 23, last year and said: “It’s been a passion project of mine for the last 2½ years, something I’ve literally put everything into. I’ve never worked so hard on anything in my life.”

His parents attended the launch event in LA.

However, insiders said their relationship has “never been more fractured”.

Those close to Brooklyn — who is married to US actress Nicola Peltz, 30 — insist he made a private attempt to meet his dad ahead of his 50th.

But that was vehemently denied by sources close to the former England captain.

It was also claimed Nicola, who has been accused of “controlling” her husband, had hired a PR guru.

Those close to her believe she is being “unfairly blamed” for the issues.

KICK? NO HE'LL EDIT

FOOTIE icon David Beckham is to guest edit Country Life mag in October.

Editor-in-chief Mark Hedges said: “David told me he reads every issue from cover to cover.”

David, who lives in a £12million manor in Oxfordshire, said: “I am really looking forward to working with the team to produce an issue that will celebrate the countryside.”

Mr Hedges said the October edition will feature David’s “favourite view and his best-loved recipe”.

Gang of ‘feral’ teen girls who scale roofs & lob BRICKS through windows make our life miserable – but no one will help

A GANG of roof-hopping teen girls have been labelled “feral” by disgruntled locals who said their lives have become a nightmare.

A group of between six and eight school-age teens, mostly girls, have been accused of banging on windows, kicking doors and running through gardens.

Residents in Whipton, Exeter, say the troublesome girls even throw slate and bricks, creating “horrendous” noise.

The fire service, local councillor and even the city’s MP have all got involved.

Locals fear the teens are as much in danger of harming themselves as they are other people.

The landlord of the Star Inn, Mike Crisp, fears somebody could get hurt.

He said: “They climb on roofs and throw slates and bricks. The noise can be horrendous.

Police have taken them away in handcuffs, firemen have been needed to get them off the roofs. But still they return. Some residents are talking about taking the law into their own hands.

“That is not a good idea, but if the strong arm of the law can’t stop them, what do we do?”

He said the problems started about six weeks ago when two girls were spotted climbing on the roof of the pharmacy.

“It’s gradually got worse and now more people are involved,” he said.

The final straw came on Sunday when a group started throwing bricks at his wife, Sharon.

“I know a few people have complained to the councillor about it and I’m told a meeting is arranged with the police inspector.

“The MP is also going to talk to police.”

Mike thinks the youths are aged between 13 and 15.

Most are girls but one lad threw the brick at Sharon. They were still causing trouble in the early hours of Monday morning when police were called again.

“One of my neighbours is terrified by them climbing through their garden at night,” Mike said.

“Shopkeepers have told me their doors are being kicked by youths trying to get into the shops.

“I’m worried that kids are going to get hurt if they get caught by the shopkeepers or a householder where they’ve caused damage and there could be trouble.

“I’m not blaming the police but they don’t seem to be able to stop it.”

Ward councillor Liz Pole said she was due to meet the police inspector on Wednesday and the concerns would be top of the agenda.

“We’ve been talking to a lot of residents this week who have experienced problems first hand with young people.

“There is a lot of sentiment in the area and concerns young people are being egged on and taking risks.

“We are just encouraging people to report incidents of anti-social behaviour and trespass and any intelligence to police.

“I’m aware of a few incidents involving young people taking risks with their behaviour. I don’t think it’s escalated into thefts but they are using ladders and climbing onto roofs.

“The main concern is for young people and to make sure they’re safe.

“The message needs to get to them that they are taking risks that are potentially harmful to them.”

Exeter MP Steve Race said: “Residents in Whipton have been in touch to let me know about a concerning spate of anti-social behaviour.

“I know how worrying and disruptive this can be and I have contacted Devon and Cornwall Police for an update on the steps they will be taking to address this issue.”

The Sun has contacted the police force for comment.
