lady room b victoria beckham
Lainey: Melissa - no, but can i reiterate again how delighted, like straight up cackling gleeful, the bitches over in England are at the fact that Vicky has to show up to the wedding all fat and sh-t?
Three years ago, David and Victoria mounted a full scale American assault. They aligned themselves with Damon Dash, they appeared in white D&G at the MTV Movie Awards, they went shopping, they bolstered the US economy, they kissed Anna Wintour’s ass, and still they were dealt a crushing defeat. Because unlike the rest of the world, America didn’t care.
In many ways (at least in my opinion), the Beckhams’ Waterloo signalled the beginning of the darkest days of their marriage. The trade to Real Madrid happened that summer and, as we all know now, Victoria’s reluctance to move immediately to Spain opened the infidelity gates, through which walked Rebecca Loos and every other available, horny woman within a 50 mile radius. As a result, the famous Beckham foundation was rocked to its core and repairing the façade has been so painstaking a process, many believe a complete public restoration is probably impossible.
In light of such negative historical precedent, can you blame me for feeling a little panicked over the recent TMZ report of a potential stateside move? Apparently there’s some talk of negotiations with the LA Galaxy and even though David’s approaching the twilight of his career, many think his presence on the US football circuit will boost national popularity of the sport, not to mention lucrative merchandising opportunities for the team and for the league - kinda like when Wayne went to the Kings.
For what it’s worth, my sources say a move within the next 18 months is highly unlikely. First of all, there are the childcare issues. Victoria relies heavily on her parents to mind the boys and while living in Spain is one thing, a cross Atlantic move is another matter entirely – something the Adams family might not be so open to.
Next up – David isn’t exactly a detriment to his current squad. In fact, sales of his jersey are usually tops for the team and the worldwide of appeal of Real Madrid has been undeniably enhanced by his participation. Given that he can still play reasonably well, all things considered, soccer’s most well bankrolled superteam probably isn’t going to let him go so easily.
Finally, I’m told Victoria is in no mood to shake up what seems to be a return to idyllic times, especially now that David is finally willing to give #4 another go. Things are terrific, and as you can see from these photos of the two enjoying the last moments of their summer holiday, the Beckhams’ emotional and physical engines are currently purring at high performance levels.
Check it out, gossips – can you believe Posh is actually smiling…and READING???
My favourites though are the airport shots. Everything, from her hair to HIS hair (love it!) to the outfits (look at her shoes!!!) and their signature hand in hand walking pose – everything is perfection and practise. There’s something to be said for unapologetic effort, you know? Like any high end product, the Beckhams are a thoroughly crafted brand, with the kind of precision detailing and choreography that we just don’t see any more in this modern age of celebrity.
Goddess save the Beckhams! Posh & Becks fuh-evah!

If they made it through his ‘98 red card and her solo singing attempt and Rebecca Loos and Esther Canadas and Sarah Marbeck and a masseuse and a nanny and countless other faceless, nameless encounters – does this mean they can make it through anything?
Pray Goddess, let it be so.
Like a heavyweight against the ropes, the Beckhams continue to defy the gossip. All those pre-World Cup reports - that he couldn’t stand her, that he doesn’t look at her the same way anymore, that he’d leave her as soon as they the tournament was over – all of it, of course, is now forgotten. Because as you can see from these photos taken during the Italian leg of their neverending summer holiday, Vicky and David are just fine. In fact, I’m told they are MORE than fine. They are happier than they have been in years. And yes, it certainly didn’t hurt that the cameras were around to capture it.
So you’ve heard the buzz, right? That Victoria is hellbent on bringing a new Beckham into the world in 2007? Just 6 months ago, David apparently wasn’t onside with that plan. Cut to present day and it’s definitely a new attitude, a complete turnaround for him, a sincere eagerness to try for a fourth, and the effect it’s having on HER is fantastic. Word is, she’s even eating…a little. Still crazier is that people who’ve seen them have told me that she seems a tad, teensy, weensy, smidge less close to dying of starvation. And if her ass is any indication – I think I believe them. Not as bony as you thought, is it?
Anyway, take a look at the happy Beckhams: she in a one piece (do you love that she doesn’t wear bikinis?) and he with flamey shades, a shorter do, and - Sweetmotherofgoddess - tighty little euro trunks.
Shall I give you a sec to catch your breath and still your loins?

Victoria Beckham and her eating disorder is not cool. I love all your other opinions.
Dear Meredyth,
I fully acknowledge my sick obsession. It is indeed an illness I can't seem to overcome, perhaps because it's a parallel affliction that mirrors Victoria's special vices. Having said that, we all need our guilty pleasures. Will you forgive me mine?

If you are at all a prude, you do NOT want to read this. Consider yourself warned.
A couple through thick and thin - and what's the secret to togetherness? Communication, yes. But also compromise. While they have experienced tough times in the past, they have finally righted the ship, coming to terms on divisive issues, with her finally acquiescing to the one thing he used to have to get elsewhere, from those not so prim and proper or tightlipped for that matter.
He's got a thing for the back door, you see? In his case, exit AND enter. In the past, it was never allowed at home - hence the wandering. But now, now that he's suffered a bit of a setback, now that he needs cheering, she's been his number 1 source of consolation - shoulder and tail. In limited rationed amounts, just enough to keep him content. After all, that's love, right? You just have to grin and bear it. Happy endings all around.
