Victoria Beckham is coming to America! Well, technically, she’s already here.

Some may not be as excited as others, but I watched NBC’s one-hour special on Posh’s arrival, and let me tell you–you judged the woman a bit too soon.

Right off the bat, it’s so obvious that Victoria knows exactly what she’s doing. Surrounded by her hairdresser and other staff (but, unfortunately not David) Posh immediately hires a new assistant who “cannot be too pretty or too thin.” Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Probably that this woman could not be more vain, right?

Please.

Take a minute to recognize her sarcasm, and after you do, realize that she’s kind of right. If her assistant causes any kind of media stir it would only end up making Posh’s life more chaotic. Defeats the purpose, right?

And the hilarity! Victoria is one funny bitch. After talking her way out of cheating on her driver’s test, she gets invited to a socialite’s lunch where she proceeds to visit with rich old ladies who do dolphin calls. Read More »

Everyone and their mother was out Thursday night for the arrival of Victoria and David Beckham at the Los Angels International Airport. Cameras were flashing, people were screaming, Victoria was wearing something tight and black…a repeat of every other time this family has been photographed.

What I don’t understand is why CNN felt the need to cover it.

Much like the Paris Hilton overload, I can’t quite understand why we’re all so interested in this family. Sure, David Beckham is a great soccer player, who also happens to be hot. And his wife likes to shop. And wear outfits that push her boobs up to her chin. But other than that, are they interesting? Read More »

“Victoria’s every move is documented by the paparazzi, but only our cameras have been allowed inside the world of what being Victoria Beckham is really like.”

Such is the advertising campaign for a new reality special set to air on NBC in mid-July. Victoria Beckham: Coming to America will air Monday, July 16, and center on the Beckham’s move from England to Los Angeles, California.

Now is the part where you ask me if I care.

And I tell you stoutly and resolutely that I couldn’t care less.

Like Katy, I am completely and utterly confused by Victoria Beckham—but I’m also confused as to why any of us bother with her. The chick was once in a pop group that was big for three seconds, after which she married an English superstar soccer player. Media coverage should probably have ended there—at least in America, where soccer isn’t as popular as it is abroad—but for some reason it has gone on, and on, and on.

Is anyone concerned about those three girly dudes from Hanson? What about the two other chicks from Destiny’s Child? No. Nobody gives a shit. Paparazzi aren’t staking out the doorstep of Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees (you don’t even know who that is, right? Me either. But he was in the group. I looked it up). Read More »
