More Posh Spice Beckham Trash

By: Laurie | April 7th, 2007
   

victoria-beckham2.jpgIt just feels like ages and ages since I’ve done anything on Posh Spice Beckham. Well, I mean besides that naked picture thing last week. And the ubiquitous see-through-shirt nipple shots. Besides those, it’s been ages. That’s what I mean. So let’s find out what’s up with LA’s brand new SuperWAG.

First, an odd-yet-interesting, totally snarky, claws-out-catty article about Posh’s chances of maintaining her fame level after she moves to the US. If you like some serious meowrrr with your morning coffee, be sure to read the whole thing. The humorous part is that it’s written by a guy, unathorized biography writer J. Randy Taraborrelli, who was apparently more than a little offended at how she treated him the couple of times they met.

“Excuse me, Victoria, but I just wanted to welcome you to America,” I offer.
She fixes me with an icy stare, as though I had just delivered the most offensive insult. “You see, this is my life,” she mutters to one of the men. “So, welcome to it.”

What can I say, except that I’ll let you judge this one for yourself. I guess the real question is, can you actively (and even desperately) seek fame, money and attention while still controlling your own life?

And in more fun and exciting news, wife-of-Tom-Cruise Katie Holmes is apparently tired of being bored and wants to branch out into designing children’s clothes. And who is she choosing as her partner? Why, the designer of those $650-a-pair jeans, of course! Victoria Posh Spice Beckham! Is anybody seeing $25-a-pair disposable diapers on the horizon?

And on top of that, British disability groups are up in arms over the fact that Posh used the airport buggies intended for disabled flyers to get to her plane. Spokespeople claim that she was merely using the transport to escape from those pesky paparazzi. Perhaps next time she might try shoes without that extra half an inch?

And last but not least… Well, I don’t know how to break this to you Posh fans, but Victoria’s Reality TV show is apparently close to getting the ax. Its crime? Being too freakin’ boring. Seems none of the Beckhams’ A-list friends wanted to be associated with it, so it’s come down to long, boring takes of Victoria shopping for clothes and shopping for schools and shopping for houses. Hey, sounds totally thrilling to me. I have NO idea why they think people wouldn’t watch.

And the funniest part of all of this? Somewhere along the line there were plans made to make it less boring by “hiring” a phony “assistant” to create dramatic tension and throw up artificial roadblocks. Because creating phony drama is SO how I define the “reality” in reality TV.

I don’t think that David will mind the cancellation all that much. Rumor has it that he was hoping for a more low-key (and perhaps even soccer-oriented) entrance into the US and was not at all happy with Victoria for signing the TV deal.

Has anybody else ever wondered how normal David might be if he dumped both Victoria and her management company?

    No! No offense caused at all! I support any attempt at fun, especially when "lurid, licentious and vile" [T. Lehrer, let's see how old everyone is] even if I myself get over-saturated. This does happen to me occasionally, often when I tire of the girls peripheral to professional sports taking the brunt for everything from player trades the downfall of western civilization.
    Just think of how much more ink two covered if bra-less breasts have gotten compared to, say, the Sunderland Sex Tapes...ok so maybe those guys needed a few more minutes on the tanning bed but, no matter what people allege against Posh's nipples, they REALLY could have put someone's eye out!
    Getting ready for Champions League cleansing #1. RATS just checked the kick off time and there's rioting outside of Old Trafford. Now I must really go be maternal...
  • I was prepared to give the woman the benefit of a doubt. I really was. Unfortunately I haven't seen anything at all to show me she's not completely narcissistic, self-absorbed, and addicted to adulation and materialism. And dumb as a fencepost to boot. (I might be able to take the narcissism et al if she were interesting.)

    But Princess Diana actually grew up and changed and became a real human being before she died. Perhaps Posh might too someday?

    Sorry to cause offense.

    I am SHOCKED to find that I actually have a trash threshold!!!! And one that could be reached on this adorable web-site! I NEED a break from Posh/WAG bashing, just for a minute, on the remote chance that one or more turn out to be human, or that their HABs actually chose one of them instead of being tranquilized and bagged.
    Here's the plan: if I include today's English bank holiday matches, one from Saturday that I taped, four more in the next two days, and move swiftly into the weekend, I could watch approximately 22 hours of football with a couple of baseball games thrown in before Sunday...OK, I would lose job and family, but my heart and mind would be pure. Or maybe if I just go back to reading the sports pages, I can keep the job and fam.
    Good luck and great season! D
  • Oh, interesting, Clint! Me, I always preferred Sporty Spice to the rest of them. Wonder what she's she up to these days. Scary is the only one so far who's had Eddie Murphy's baby, right?
  • How about this for the 'What If' machine - Beckham marries Baby Spice instead? I for one would be quite happier looking at Baby Spice photos all day instead of The Twig That Is Victoria.
  • Martha, I think I'm still at the "her existence pisses me off phase." But I'm on the edge.
  • ben
    fantastic last paragraph !

    no Victoria = No Simon Fuller (thanks to him there were the Spice Girls (s*x sells everything), American Idol and such crap) WHO NEEDS such stuff ?!

    Becks would be still marketable as hell, good looking, women sh*ging, and last but not least be seen a bit more seriously as a bl**dy good footballer/soccerplayer.

    Time Travel anyone...
  • It's officially happened: Her mere existence has started profoundly depressing me rather than just pissing me off, or making me laugh. I mean ... look at that picture. Is that being even human?
