Saks Drops Victoria’s Jeans
Friday, February 20th, 2009
I guess not enough people want to get into Victoria Beckham’s pants. Her denim line, dVb by Victoria Beckham, was recently dropped by Henri Bendel and Kitson because of poor sales. Now the Page Six reports that the Saks Fifth Avenue chain has done likewise.
Their source claims that Saks is miffed that Beckham allowed them to carry the overpriced denim line but sold her more upscale designer collection exclusively to rival Bergdorf Goodman—which never carried the Posh jeans. Ouch!
Saks should be able to find plenty of designer jeans to replace the scorned dVb line, since as a souce stated slyly, “Nobody wanted to buy $300 jeans from someone who is not a trained designer.”
In this economy, who wants to buy $300 jeans at all? That goes beyond “status” into downright ridiculous.

Bye-Bye, Beckhams
Friday, February 6th, 2009
David and Victoria Beckham have decided to move their family out of L.A.—and nobody cares. The media fanfare that greeted their entrance on the Hollywood scene two years ago has dwindled to practically nothing, and a report from Reuters gives some reasons for the lack of interest.
E!’s Ted Casablanca said, “Their impact was hugely anti-climactic for me. Hollywood should have kept Posh and Becks as a fantasy, because in reality they didn’t pan out.”
Former Us Weekly editor Bonnie Fuller thinks that the Posh style didn’t appeal to American women.She didn’t have enough hair. American women are big hair girls. They want celebrities with long, sexy hair which they can aspire to. Posh is also superglam most days, all day, and American women relate much more to Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie’s uniform of jeans, T-shirts and sexy little sweaters.”
Veteran Hollywood PR exec Howard Bragman offers that Beckhams didn’t try hard enough to fit into the scene. “I’m not sure if they chose to not be that social or if it was because there are so many other celebrities in Los Angeles. I think their careers are just fine. I think they both have had enough publicity for 10 lifetimes and I don’t think not getting it is something they go home and commiserate about.”
Well, maybe now Becks can get back to actually playing soccer.

Posh Gets Rowdy Welcome At Airport
Monday, November 10th, 2008
Victoria Beckham got a bigger greeting than she expected when she deplaned at LAX this weekend. Posh was rushed by so many photographers and fans that an onlooker compared the scene to one for “Michael Jackson or the Beatles.” The eyewitness told E! news:
“The photographers were going crazy. She tried to exit the sliding doors to exit the airport and everyone wanted to get in front of her. Security started to push everyone out of the way.”
Sounds like it must have been a really dull weekend at the airport if yet another landing by Posh can start a mini-riot.

Victoria The Dominatrix?
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Victoria Beckham was spotted at LAX yesterday getting on a flight bound for London. Most of us like to dress for comfort on long flights but Posh seems to be encased in skin-tight black leather from head to toe. I guess sometimes you hve to suffer for fashion.

Posh Suing Mad Over Diet Pills Story
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
While someone is trying to figure out a way to get a musical about her hubby going in London, Victoria Beckham is out to sue a magazine. According to recent reports, Vicky is threatening to take legal action against Now Magazine after it claimed that she is taking slimming pills. The magazine published an article suggesting that Posh had her sister Louise get pills from London and take them to Los Angeles for her consumption. In a statement, Vicky’s agent Jo Milloy is insisting that “the accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue.” She continued: “Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story. It is now with her lawyers.” Someone should really do a musical on Vicky instead. She’s so much more dramatic than her hubby.
