Coming to America

So, everyone knows that I'm pretty much addicted to celebrity gossip. I love reading about who's in the closet or who is dating who or who's addicted to drugs. I don't know why I want to know, I just do. I love seeing pictures of the celebs with their kids. I like to see what's going on with the Jolie-Pitt clan or the Philipe-Witherspoon kids. I like to see what celebs are wearing and how they're wearing it. I just love it. Some people collect stamps for a hobby, I read celeb gossip. It's my thing.

My newest obsession is the Beckham family. Suddenly I'm obsessed with them. I've known who they are for a long time but now that they're here, in the US, I'm just going nuts over them. I really don't give a crap that David plays soccer and I don't think I'm suddenly going to become a soccer fan because he plays. I'm not going to be signing up for the Spice Girls reunion tour anytime soon. I just want the inside scoop on the family.

I guess to begin, they are a gorgeous family. David is obviously one of the hottest men on the planet but Victoria isn't so bad either. You don't believe me, check out one of the pictures from their spread in W magazine.



She could stand to gain 10 pounds but whatever. Then they have those adorable boys who are almost spitting images of their dad. They're beautiful, they're super rich, and they're fashionable. The ultimate celebrities and targets for celebrity blogs.

But, as fun as they are to look at, you almost never hear them talk. Until now. Victoria Beckham usually looks very stone-faced in pictures and looks like she never smiles or laughs. Now that she's doing all these interviews you really get to see a little bit of her personality. I saw an interview months ago that she did where two little boys interviewed her. It was really the funniest and most charming thing I'd ever seen her do. She was really likeable. Now that I've seen her in a couple of interviews here, she seems even more likeable. I also love that she calls people "cow" or "pig" instead of bitch or ho. I think it's hilarious.

I'm so interested to see what they're going to be like now that they're in LA. Are they going to be out shopping everyday like Paris? Are they going to be fixtures at the clubs? Nobu? Are they going to hang out with Tom and Katie all the time? Who knows. Maybe I have nothing better to do than read about celebrities and their lives. Maybe I like to fantasize about being that rich or that famous. Maybe I read about this stuff to escape from real life for a little while. But you know what, who cares? It's fun and entertaining and I love it. So you keep collecting stamps and I'll keep escaping into the world of celebrity.

It must run in the family, I know Bre is so into them too, but I can't get enough of these $1.99 celeb mags. I love them for exactly the same reason, how do they look, what are they wearing, where did they go on vacation. I actually think I am going to tivo Posh's show tomorrow night. Come on, I love my little life but I'm not going to Cannes anytime soon, or St. Tropez and said around on a yacht, so this is as close as I plan to get.

LOL... The Posh Spice show has been on my Tivo to record since last week. I'm glad I have so many people who support my habits!
