David and Victoria Beckham add another A-lister to their circle as they dine with Madonna in Los Angeles

David and Victoria Beckham continued their relentless pursuit of A-list friends last night as they took the Queen of Pop, Madonna, out for dinner.

The trio bonded over a meal at celebrity haunt Nobu, one of the couple's favourite Los Angeles restaurants.

Posh has long been a fan of the Material Girl - just last month she was photographed wearing a retro Madonna tour T-shirt .
The singer, who split from husband Guy Ritchie last month, is the city on a short break from her gruelling Sticky & Sweet world tour which will resume in Houston on Sunday.

She is the latest celebrity to be charmed by the Beckhams, who have proved to be impressive social networkers in recent years.

They've enjoyed double dates with Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and her basketballer husband Tony Parker and also often keep company with actress Kate Beckinsale and her director husband Len Wiseman.

Posh regularly takes the couple's sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz for play dates with singer Gwen Stefani's young family.

She has also won over Heidi Klum and their friendship led to her guest appearance on the supermodel's popular fashion show, Project Runway, last season.

But not all attempts at fostering high profile comrades have been as successful.

Victoria caused a paparazzi frenzy when she posed up with Jennifer Lopez at a Marc Jacobs fashion show in New York in September.

The two held hands and hugged but skeptics branded it a blatant photo opportunity, with fellow guest Kelly Osbourne observing at the time: 'I’ve never seen two people pretend to like each other more in my life.'

Posh and J.Lo have not been seen together since.

The Beckhams were also famously close to Hollywood power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes after making the move to America last year, but the friendship appears to have cooled in recent times.

Sources say the friendship went off the boil largely because of the Beckhams’ reluctance to join the Church of Scientology.

Perhaps Kabbalah will be a better fit.
