New York - (Reuterus): "Never ever play your trump card until the beast is well and truly hooked," NY defamation lawyers commented today in the Irma Nici libel case.
A 'wild card' may be that rump - er, trump! - after a webcam recording of a three-way hotel rooom shagathon between LA galaxy player David Beckham and 'two greedy tarts' was put into Fort Knox-esque lockdown 'somewhere in Manhattan'.
Attorney-at-law Marvin Hagglemeister said today that reeling in the incandescent British footballer and his army of libel specialists was clearly the work of a talented pro.
"It's a class act, playing the dumb ho," Hagglemeister chuckled.
"She's got him by the short 'n' curlies in staying schtum about the tape."
Meanwhile in the UK Beckham's plight has the full thrust of incandescent red top headlines defending the nation's one-time footie hero and his stick insect gargoyle wife.
"It's inconceivable that Becks could have been so bloomin daft to get caught in such a sordid palaver," Daily Smearer agony aunt Fanny Spice said today.
Rebecca Loos is 69.
