Maybe you missed the part where she said that she wants to be exactly like those "face-lifts-by-crane ladies" when she reaches their age because she thinks they're wonderful (and she's well on her way already, but the looks of it). So I'm not sure that Posh was trying to take the mickey out of them as much as she actually enjoyed their company.

Quote:

Also, when Posh wanted to buy a watch for David without the paprazzi in tow, she brought a blow up doll (at the sex shop) and dressed it like herself (including full hair style) and sent it out of her house in the SUV. The fxxking American Paparazzi fell for it hook line and sinker.

If that had been the UK, I'm sure the British paparazzi would have fallen for it just the same. In fact, I'd bet that at least some of those paparazzi WERE Brits anyway.

Quote:

America's bleating about the show proves beyond a doubt, they don't have a clue when someone is taking the piss out of them either.

There were some funny parts to the show – like when she asked the group of kids to explain baseball to her and they were all talking over each other, etc. But other times it was obvious that she was TRYING to be funny. For instance, when the DMV guy told her to sign the form and she said, "Who did you want me to make that out to? Oh, wait, you just mean SIGN the form…" Or when she was studying for her driving test and she asked her assistant was an intersection was. That doesn't make her sound funny, that just makes her look flat-out stupid.

Hot off the presses!!!

Her show was screened in the UK and was a complete flop. Is this proof that the British have no WIT?

At the end of the day she is a multi millionaire in her own right and was a member of one of the largest bands around at the time performing to sell-out audiences across the world - I suspect that not many people on BE (myself certainly included) can claim as much success. It's not like she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Her image and music were not exactly to my taste, but I have to say her new breasts do look quite entertaining in a pudding bowl kind of way.

I'm not sure that you're giving her too much credit. I put her in the same class as America's pride and joy, Paris HIlton. Spoiled? Yes. Concieted? Yes. Immature? Obviously. Stupid? I think they're smarter than they let on...

I do too. Would Becks have come to the US without her behind him? I doubt it very much.

You use the term "band" loosely. No serious music fan would give them a second look.

I'm not convinced that coming to America is necessarily a good move for his career .... unfortunately she may go down as the Yoko Ono of English football.
