Believe it or not, Victoria Beckham is turning 40!

The singer turned fashion designer will celebrate her 40th birthday on Apr. 17. So how does David Beckham's other half plan on ringing in the milestone birthday?

Contrary to false tabloid reports that Posh is planning a horse-themed B-day party in L.A., a source tells E! News, "This is tabloid nonsense. There are no big parties planned. Victoria will be having dinners with friends and family on both sides of the Atlantic."

Earlier today, The Mirror reported that Beckham wanted to go horseback riding for her 40th birthday. "Victoria went riding properly for the first time a couple of years ago and loved it," a source told the U.K. paper. "But over the past few months she has stepped things up a notch and got really good. Obviously, she can't keep a horse in her back garden in west London but when she is in L.A., which is around once every five or six weeks, she goes riding daily."

The source added, "She is having two 40th bashes: one in Los Angeles and one in London and, for the former, is organizing an afternoon out in the hills, horse riding with her girly pals."

But Beckham won't be horsing around for her big 4-0.
