Posh 'n' Becks Still Livin The American Dream…
They might be holed up in LA as David Beckham plies his diminishing talents for his Sunday League team the LA Picnic's, but that hasn't stopped Posh from carving out a successful career as a fashion designer. Oh.
But oh, what's this? Posh's glittering fashion career seems to be over before it's even started. We didn't think Stella McCartney and co would be quaking in their faux otter lined Wagyu beef hide boots and it turns out we was right, Posh can't even flog a pair of jeans, albeit stupidly expensive dVb jeans. Now Beat UK is no fashion expert but surely naming a clothing brand after your initials it's one step from bunging your Christian names together to name your house?
Either way dVb jeans have already been dropped by some stores, presumably because short of Nicole Richie and Posh there is nobody in the US able to fit into a pair of size zero pipecleaner fit jeans.
The companies Fred Segal and Kitson have both stopped carrying the brand, with Kitson explaining that sales have been disappointingly poor because 'fashion icon' Posh won't get out and market the products.
"We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear," says Kitson boss Fraser Ross, "but she didn't. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell." Correction Fraser, as Posh well knows with her equally successful music career you can promote the arse out of something but you can't polish a turd.
In other La La news it appears that Cruz Beckham is being sent to a Jewish school in LA. Becks has recently claimed he's half Jewish, possibly a reference to his Hebrew tattoo but it's the first we've heard. Mind you, organised religion has to take its members where it can these days. Just ask Bessie mate Tom who is permanently trying to recruit wealthy nutters to his Scientology cause. Bearing in mind David also has a mis-spelt Hindi tattoo and some Roman numerals Cruz could end out in some interesting schools, lucky boy – he should start worrying when Dave shows off his latest alien tatt to his adoring fans.
On the subject of adoring fans the LA Milky Bars lost again at the weekend against The Brewers Droop FC, a pub team from Chicago. Even Brooklyn preferred playing his recorder rather than watch daddy lose again. It was later revealed that Tom and Dave are looking for a football club to buy, either in the UK or US.
Much as the thought of scientology sponsored kits made by dVb is worrying can this particular Beat UK writer recommend Southampton FC. The Becks / Cruise scientology circus would be welcome relief from the current crop of clowns running the club. There's a fantastic Greco Roman Jewish school with a strong Hindi curriculum down the road from St Mary's as well, right up Cruz's street.
