The Beckhams are big in England. Really big. "Royal family who?" big. But it wasn't enough for the Beckhams. They wanted to conquer ... America.
February 11, 2007 (Press Release) --
When the hottest Spice Girl hooked up with the sexiest athlete in Britain in 1997, the pop culture gods smiled. The public worshipped them, the paparazzi hounded them and the media skewered them.
Those were good times.
They've embarked on publicity tours here, to push their matching colognes and their questionable fashions. They've posed for every photo op imaginable, Posh looking pinched and Becks looking pretty. They've even made friends with Tom Cruise.
But it didn't work.
We don't want to buy Victoria's music.
We don't want to watch David play soccer.
(And, in fact, we think the word "footballer" sounds dirty.)
Well, we no longer have a choice. The Beckhams are moving in. David has signed a $50 million a year contract with the L.A. Galaxy -- that's a soccer team -- and Victoria has already started house hunting. So we better get used to them.
Maybe it's time we give these kids a chance. Here are a few reasons why:
David is the original metrosexual
He is a flamboyant fan of fashion; one of the first phrases he learned in Spanish was "Where is Gucci?" Once, when asked to describe his strengths, he said, "Shopping!" And he nearly popularized pink nail polish for men. "I always wanted to be a hairdresser," he has said.
Victoria can't do anything right
She is the only Spice Girl considered to have completely flopped in her solo career. She has been criticized for her extremely thin frame (she swears she eats fish and vegetables), for lying (she denies ever having had her breasts enlarged) and even for wearing a fake lip ring (the British Dental Association accused her of setting a bad example, while a concert audience pelted her with fruit).
Victoria even had the bad judgment to pick a fight with Naomi Campbell (calling her a "massive cow" and a "b----"). But she swears she has nothing to hide. "I'm completely natural, except for my fingernails, and I have a bit of help with my hair and a bit of St. Tropez going on," Victoria has said.
Let the American scrutiny begin!
