Beckhams on the hunt for new American security

David and Victoria Beckham are firing their sons' uncles. Well, sort of. The couple will be forced to let go of their eight longtime security guards when they move to the States this summer. According to the Sun, the Beckham children, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, are so close to the guards that they consider them their uncles.

An insider told the newspaper, "Posh and Becks' personal protection squad have been with them for a good few years. But they won't be allowed to work for them in America because they do not qualify for work permits because of the strict regulations surrounding work permits in the US. It is looking like Becks will have to give them all the sack because they will rarely be outside the US and won't be needed. The hunt is now on to find an American security team to look after them in LA. It's proving to be a massive headache because David and Victoria are comfortable and so happy with their current team."

The current guards have credentials it will be hard to match. Two of them are former members of Britain's Special Air Service. But considering the fact that the Beckhams pay their guards about $3,000 a week and the guards get two weeks off every month, it's likely they will attract some qualified candidates in Los Angeles as well.
