London, Sydney, Montreal: US Celeb Chefs Eye Global Markets

Move over, New York: America's top celebrity chefs see the world as their oyster, with global culinary hotspots like Sydney, London, and Montreal ripe with opportunity.

Move over, New York: America's top celebrity chefs see the world as their oyster, with global culinary hotspots like Sydney, London, and Montreal ripe with opportunity. This morning, Wolfgang Puck announced his inaugural European venture, a restaurant in London's sleek 45 Park Lane hotel, with contemporary steakhouse offerings.

Meanwhile, Gordon Ramsay announced he'll be taking ownership of Rotisserie Laurier BBQ, a barbecue restaurant in Montreal — the celebrity chef's first-ever foray into Canada. And rumors are abuzz that David Chang has signed a deal for Momofuku to land in Sydney.

As diners begin to open up their wallets again, American celebrity chef restaurateurs have begun considering expansions beyond stateside meccas like Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

For years, Ramsay has been "heavily considering" putting his stamp on Canada, and Puck describes London as being one of the "biggest cities for dining in the Western world right now." As for Chang? He's "infatuated" with Australia, describing it as "a place [he] could move to."

Will our country's top chefs fare in a city where they don't share the same clout as they do in America? Only time will tell.

Victoria is gearing up for her appearance at FNO on Friday and to show off her work with a private show during New York Fashion Week.

David Beckham kept himself busy Saturday, starting his afternoon at an LA park with his sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. The foursome then headed to browse at an Adidas store, and next David went solo to watch as his LA Galaxy teammates played the Kansas City Wizards. David's squad ended up losing 2-0, but he still happily posed with fans afterward. Yesterday, David continued the sporting fun by reuniting with Gordon Ramsay to take their kids to an Angels baseball game. This was David's latest weekend full of socializing, after he recently cozied up to Victoria and showed off his hot shirtless body during a day at the beach in Malibu with friends. It'll soon just be David and his boys at home in California, though, as Victoria's expected to head to NYC for Fashion Week and Fashion's Night Out — we'll be there celebrating the stylish evening as well, so don't forget to enter for a chance to meet Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen at their Elizabeth and James pop-up shop!

David Beckham cuddled up to his wife, Victoria, yesterday at the City Walk in Hollywood, where they watched their sons try out the vertical wind tunnel with pal Gordon Ramsay. Earlier in the day, David joined his Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan for a practice session. The guys are playing together for the California team, but they were in South Africa earlier this Summer on opposing squads during the World Cup. The soccer tournament may be David's last with England, though, after their coach Fabio Capello said he's too old to keep playing. David's age isn't a problem when it comes to hitting the gym and keeping his amazing abs in top form. He's made it into the Elite Eight of our Summer Shirtless Bracket, so make sure to show David your love and enter to win Tom Ford sunglasses!

It was Fox's turn to promote all its new shows at the TCA in LA yesterday.

It was Fox's turn to promote all its new shows at the TCA in LA yesterday. Everyone was looking for a big announcement on American Idol, but the executives had no official news and weren't looking to confirm or deny any rumors — soon they say, but no contracts have been signed yet. Running Wilde's Keri Russell and Will Arnett were briefly in town before starting to reshoot their pilot in Long Island today, though they still kept everyone cracking up during their panel. Lone Star is one of the new shows we're most excited about and the cast, including the adorable James Wolk, continued to impress the room of critics — read highlights from all the panels on Buzz!

Speaking of Lone Star, Jon Voight was excited to chat about it at the evening's Santa Monica Pier bash. He divulged that his family, including Angelina Jolie and her kids, are all doing great and he's excited to make a home in Texas for this show. When it came to Joshua Jackson, the hot topic of course was Pacey-Con — stay tuned for awesome video from Josh about his Dawson's Creek love. Joshua said it was the result of an idea that he originally had, and he had fun seeing the reaction of everyone at Comic-Con. The Glee kids were graciously happy to chat. Lea Michele looked gorgeous and in great spirits, despite a car accident scare earlier in the night, while Mark Salling was all about the carnival games. The whole crew was thrilled about all their Emmy nominations, and check out more with Buzz's report.
