This totally cracks me up. Yes the woman has an eating disorder. Thats a given. The Spice Girls were HUGE and Mega popular in England and here as well. The Spice Girls Reunion was HUGE here in the states a few months ago when they got back together for a few performances. ANYWAY...pre spice girls she was a pretty big model in England as well. Granted she's no Kate moss.. but thats a different lvl of model..

All that aside...all the interviews and such that she's been doing, show her to be a pretty nice woman and mother. *and she was cool on the finale of Project Runway this past season too.* I guess what I'm trying to say is she's a Hollywood name and fashion icon. People are going to hate her or love her. And for what it's worth, bad press and good press are still getting her attention and keeping her name in the public eye. *as well as this flaming thread*...

So these views about Victoria Beckham are ALL based out of personal interaction with the woman?

Of course she has issues. You don't? Of course she is not the most talented voice on the planet. Are we reduced to stating the obvious now?

A family member used to say this to me, when I carried on like this about someone famous : How much money do you have? When you have that kind of money and that kind of success, then you can complain. Until then, find something constructive to talk about!

1. I don't care about her issues. Where did i say I don't have issues?

2. I have plenty of money and success. Do I have as much as the Beckham's? No, but fortunately, I do not have to whore out my life the way she does and have paparazzi chasing me and my children

She doesn't actually HAVE to do those absurd fashion shoots and go to premieres and things...she does not NEED the money...what she seems to need is the validation which comes with always having to be in the spotlight, even when you have nothing to be in the spotlight for.

Do you NEED a reality show detailing your life and move to Los Angeles, when it is actually your husband whose move to Los Angeles is the news?

Do you NEED to sell your wedding photos exclusively to tabloid shows?

Do you NEED to do 5 or 6 documentaries about your personal life, inviting the media into your home and the lives of your children?

Do you NEED to pose semi-nude for a sex-spread with W magazine, knowing your children will be eventually affected by it in some way? What did it accomplish? It had no relevance other then desperately courting attention and trying to trumpet some silly significance. I am from from a prude, but sorry when you have your parents posing essentially nude, pretending to be boning each other, with your name (the kid's) tattooed on your father's bare ass, it may be a bit selfish of your parents, don't you agree?

The fact is that there are plenty of far more talented people than her, who do their thing in the spotlight when it is time, but than stay away from it as much as possible, and do not invite the press into their homes and constantly court attention, expose her children, blab about their sex lives etc. all the while doing nothing of significance.

She is vile.

And for what it's worth, bad press and good press are still getting her attention and keeping her name in the public eye. *as well as this flaming thread*...

1. Her eating disorder is hardly what is annoying about her. I know plenty of people with eating disorders...my sister has an eating disorder, so does my mother, so did god knows how many of my girlfriends...women having eating disorders is not a new thing in our culture, and it is unfortunate.

That is hardly my gripe with her. I feel badly if she has an eating disorder...but how much of it is a disorder, since she was fine all the way up to the late 90s, and looked healthy, and how much is her own vanity, thinking she is a model, tanning herself to ridiculous proportions, starving herself to be a fashion model size zzero andt hen getting bolt on tits?

An eating disorder is one thing...deliberately doing what she has done is far different.

If she had an eating disorder and was seeking help, more power to her...but she is not doing that...she is trying to be "fashionable" and ultra-thin, of her own making.

2. The Spice Girls were a "huge" and ridiculous anomaly, much like Hanson or the BackStreet Boys, based on marketing to kids, not based on talent.

3. Pre-Spice Girls she was not a huge model...she was a nobody. She answered an ad in the paper to audition for the spice girls, like all the rest.

4. "all the interviews and such that she's been doing, show her to be a pretty nice woman and mother."

Yeah...you can tell all that from an interview? Joan Crawford seemed nice in interviews too. An interview tells you nothing about a person. How they behave and act is a much better indication.

5. She is not a "hollywood name" she is a celebrity. As for her being a "fashion icon"...that is highly debatable. When people think of fashion...she is hardly the first name they think of.

They think of known designers, then models, then some actresses perhaps.

I would hardly grant her "Iconic" status. the most relevant definitions of "icon" are


  1. An important and enduring symbol
  2. One who is the object of great attention and devotion

Can't say she falls under "Icon" in terms of fashion under those definitions. She may at times be the object of great attention...but hardly "devotion".


If you are going to say Fashion Icon, then relate it to someone who truly is, like Karl Lagerfeld, or Valentino, or Giorgio Armani etc. or other folks who are truly symbolic of fashion.

When you say "fashion", Victoria BEckham is not the first name on anyone's lips...except maybe her own :cool:

I think a lot of it stems from coming into her relationship with Beckham with a huge ego, then realizing that Beckham is one of the most desired males on this planet, and feeling that she needs to live up to being married to one of the most most sought after people on the planet. If i were D. Beckham, posh spice would not even be on my radar...

perfectly stated.


her shortlived fame was ending in 1998, as his started to rise.

I don't think it is her feeling she has to live up to him being the sought after one, rather to her own overexaggerated since of her own importance to the marriage.

If they had got divorced a few years ago, she would have wound up just like the other spice girls.

Let's face it, if Ginger Spice had married Becks she would have been the one who got the attention, not Posh, since Ginger was the most popular one.

It would have been simply "Ginger and Becks" being hyped in England, not "Posh and Becks"

frankly, I'd much rather have Ginger. :wink:

mmmmm death metal? no thanks :smile:

Believe me, I'dve said the same thing (and did). Give "The Drapery Falls" a listen. Compositionally brilliant, and melodically beautiful. Yeah, there's some demon-esque screaming in it, but (lone among bands I like) adds to the atmosphere rather than detracts from it. That and he has a beautiful singing voice as well--very mature and warm, rather than the thin boyish whining on the radio these days or the "manly" gravelly yelling that I despise above all else (think James Hetfield imitators).

But anyways, take a gander at Opeth's Damnation album--completely devoid of death screams, blast beats, or even distorted guitars. Just moody, atmospheric, beautiful music. Made me realize there is far more to them than death metal, and it is a means to their end, rather than the end itself. They're one of the few bands I've heard who are a)completely original sounding and b) have never been imitated successfully. Those are two of the marks of a great band to me. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Nirvana--all fit that bill. Course, they were all popular household names, not obscure Swedish bands with little more than a (fiercely loyal) cult following

Oh and I might throw out Tool as a possibility.

EDIT: Course, I'm a pretty big metalhead anyways, just never a fan of screaming or growling, so Opeth isn't such a jump for me as for those who don't like heavy music at all. They should still listen to Damnation though :)

Good lord above.

She really has worked very hard to design her life so as to keep you personally swimming in disgust and anger!

This "flaming" thread falls under the category of worthless.

Yet here you are in it.

You can feel free to no longer post in it.

You know where the exit is.

I swear, she is one of the most annoying people on the planet.

Why, aside from being married to Beckham, should anyone care about this fugly, annoying attention whore?


she is evil
IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com: Victoria Beckham Marc Jacobs


you'd figure with the coin that Becks pulls in, he can afford to add the cheese and bacon to Vicky's burger order..... much less the upgrade to spicy onion rings.

OK, now she looks like Geiger's Alien. In fact they both do. She's creepy.

And what's with David Beckham's popeye there?

Have they gone back to the UK for good yet?

they are both just ridiculous, attention seekers.

ridiculously gaudy, absurdly wealthy, yet without any sense of taste.

at least before he met her, in 1997, he could still be taken seriously...once she got her hooks in to him, they developed this absurd "brand" and he has never been the same. now they are just silly...and they will become even moreso as his career finally winds down to a close in the next couple of years.

then, we will be subjected to them for the next 50 years, based solely on their "fashion" and need for publicity.

i wish they had never come here...they were bad enough in England.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I noticed her latest haircut and was amazed how good she was looking. Very natural I must say. A haircut that shows her face softly and less severe. I like it and I think she is actually a beautiful woman. But yeah, that is my opinion :rolleyes:, you decide what you think of her latest look:

The pic I posted was taken at a party two nights ago. Perhaps she has abandoned that shag cut or just tried putting it up?
