Elton John. Billy Joel. Alicia Keys. Piano-playing prodigies have created some of the most memorable songs of the past 50 years, as their handle on the ivories has proven crucial to the pop-music landscape. And, OMG, if we're not mistaken, little Wilbur (sorry, we've been reading Charlotte's Web) has been taking piano lessons! When you get this teacup pig going, it's not easy for him to stop.

Watch your back, Billy Joel!

The UK's micro pig obsession is about to get bigger. According to the UK's Daily Mail, singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham recently splurged on this season's must-have: Micro Pigs.

At $1,160 (£700) each, Victoria and David Beckham's two new micro pigs are living like the rich and famous at the couple's home in Hertfordshire, England.

At only 9 oz. at birth, these micro pigs are surprisingly clean and sociable pets, reports the Daily Mail.

While the former Spice Girl wishes to name her trendy pets after her good friends Elton John and David Furnish, her soccer star husband prefers to call his piglets something more traditional: Pinky and Perky.

We wonder how long it will be before the two piggies make it into Victoria's purse.
