Tuning in to tinseltown's lighter shade of dark
  • Not so Posh, after all…

    Posted on February 4th, 2010 at 11:27 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Vic-bore-ia Beckham dropped her Posh image in an interview with Glamour magazine this week.

    In the interview, the usually pose-hard star talks about motherhood, hubby David and the fact that she still gets starstruck, and dresses up as a overwrought housewife for the pics.

    It’s nice to see her normal side for once, especially as she’s been appearing more and more without her terrifying trademark heels and scowl.

    She says,

    ‘They just love that. It’s like, Oh, there’s Mummy serving me! The other day I was there, I was reading to Cruz’s class. All the little girls were saying, “We really like your dress. And it was quite cute because I don’t have a girl.’

    Although I say ‘normal’ – she does go on to say that she once shared a plane with George Clooney – not exactly your down-to-earth flight experience!

    Posh also opened up about her husband being a heart-throb and says she doesn’t get jealous.

    “I look at David and I think, ‘He’s so handsome and I’m so lucky to have him as a husband’, she says. “And he’s an amazing father. “I don’t blame people for looking at him and finding him attractive. I mean, I do.”

    So do I love, so do I!

  • Hold The Front Page: Posh Chews (out Simon Cowell, that is)…

    Posted on January 13th, 2010 at 8:47 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Victoria Beckham (or as I call her – Vic-bore-ria) made her anticipated guest appearance on American Idol last night and managed to hold her own against Simon Cowell – but critics weren’t impressed.

    Posh was brought in as one of a few guest judges who filled Paula’s slot during the audition stages and actually contributed well to the panel, even giving Simon some stick at one point.

    When Simon branded one performer’s audition ‘dull’ Victoria was quick to disagree, and then told Simon off for rolling his eyes.

    She scolded him: “Why do you do that?’ He said: ‘Do what?’ She replied: ‘That thing where you roll your eyes. It takes so much nerve to stand there and do that.”

    But fashion designer Posh’s appearance didn’t win her any fans and I’ve got to say I half agree. On the second day of auditions in Boston her navy dress was classy and her hair looked cute, but on day one, her dodgy lace headband was BIG fashion faux pas. And what’s with the overly made-up, tanorexic look? She made sun-worshipping Simon look pale and wan.

    New York paper, The Village Voice, called her face “too crazy for the close-up” while the LA Times said her “gaunt appearance was so off-putting it might have cost her the slot DeGeneres eventually won”. Harsh, but her arms were so skinny you just wanted to force-feed her a burger.

    Vickie B did, however, bond well with fellow female judge Kara DioGuardi and they both took a shine to one of the charming male auditionees and told another off for being rude.

    They even had a laugh together when one hopeful identified Posh as “David Beckham’s wife”.

    Kara giggled to Victoria: ‘That’s all you are honey, sorry’.

    Needless to say, that auditionee received a resounding NO.

    Victoria Beckham The ViewAfter showing off her new collection at the opening of New York fashion week, Victoria Beckham got to do something I reckon she loves doing even more, which is showing herself off, on US chat show - The View.

    On the show Vic told how she was sick of being considered the ‘funny’ one in her marriage to David Beckham.

    “Everybody says “David’s so handsome and she’s so funny” – I’m sick of being the funny one,” she said.

    The 35 year-old singer turned fashionista is really stepping up her game these days and won adulation for a ‘masterful execution’ with her third dress collection, once again the media was unanimous in its praise for her stunning creations.

    At her fashion show earlier this week Victoria proudly told reporters, “This is my third collection, and I wanted to push myself, but I also wanted to be respectful of my customer,” she said. “I want her to know she can rely on me.”

    She added, “I know I used to be in a pop group and I’m married to a footballer– a very lovely footballer. But I’m grateful that people are prepared to leave their preconceptions at the door and let the dresses speak for themselves. The sell-through has been amazing.”

    Well it has to be said, Victoria is certainly making her mark in the world of fashion, um… finally.. and even my east coast spies who know her well, personally informed me that “Posh rocked it this year!”

    So I think it’s only fair that I too start leaving my preconceptions of the former Spice Girl at the door, we all have our bad hair days don’t we Posh, so it’s white flags at dawn dear, I forgive you for your moodiness… Finally!

    After a long month off blogging and thoroughly enjoying the break too, I thought I would bounce back by writing a bit about one of Britain’s biggest celebrities here in Hollywood – Victoria Beckham.

    In the past I have labeled Victoria totally annoying, on television and in my column and that’s because she often is! But my guess is all that is about to change…

    Things can’t be rosy for you all the time, can they Becks!

    David Beckham lost his cool Sunday night as he played a friendly game on the LA Galaxy home pitch, facing his former team AC Milan, where he spent five months on an extended loan earlier this year.

  • Tat’s Enough David…!

    Davd BeckhamDavid Beckham has revealed that his kids want to follow in his footsteps – but not into footy…

    Apparently, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are all keen to know when they can get their first tattoo.

    Talking on The Today show yesterday, David said, “One of them said to me recently: “How old do I have to be before I get a my first tattoo. I was like “A lot older than you are now.

    Beckham recently unveiled a ring of ten roses tattooed on his left arm, which he got to celebrate his ten year wedding anniversary. He’s apparently planning two full sleeve tats on each arm.

    I think whatever Dave gets he’ll still be hot! But I notice that despite being tattooed all over his body, he’s still never opted for getting the Posh one’s face inked on there!

  • Posh ‘n’ Becks Get Money For Old Rope…

    David Beckham

    Last month David Beckham got our pulses racing with a steamy underwear ad for Emporio Armani and now a new ad has debuted featuring Becks, Posh and that ubiquitous length of rope. Though judging by Vic the Stick’s best ’sexy’ look I’m not quite sure which one’s the ropey one – sorry couldn’t resist!

    Becks (as ever) looks smoking but I’m a bit over them shoving their ‘hotness’ down our throats, their poses seem so forced, almost as if they could be practicing them at home – come to think of it they probably do. OK guys we get it, you can’t get enough of each other. Yawn…
