I heart Posh Spice

But not in a totally lascivious manner. (Except for those catwalk pix with that tiny green outfit.) More like the way you fancy your best friend's mum. Wouldn't she be the coolest friend's mum to have? In fact, her husband probably wouldn't even mind you being round their house all the time, he'd probably find it rather sweet the way you would just go all google-eyed when she would serve you cookies or bandage your finger. Plus she seems really cool and funny too. Am I totally alone in this?

dave q, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Very probably, I suspect.

Norman Fay, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well I kind of always thought she was a dumb-head, but I like the way you imagine her. I think she would be good at serving cookies, not so good at bandaging fingers. She had some funny lines in Spiceworld the Movie, her delivery was quite good.

rainy, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Still you know you'd end up scoring her at your friends 18th or something

Ronan, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I fancy her feet, especially when she drove that bus in Spice World.

Kodanshi, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I heart the spicebus!!!

mark s, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The enigma dissipates as soon as she opens her mouth. She's about as posh as me nan. Not a patch on that Louise Redknapp, the archetypal girl next door, *sans* Mrs.Beckham's pretensions.

Trevor, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

She used toake me feel physically sick, but after reading excerpts from her autobiography in the Mail on Sunday, I think she's sweet. It was all about her first meeting with David. For their first date they drove around Leyton looking for a pub where they could get a quiet drink but everywhere was too busy and then David said he knew a curry house in Chingford that his parents went to but they got chucked out for not ordering any food.

Nick, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You go, Trevor!
To the others: you guys are SICK. She's as posh as the Louis Vitton bags sold on the streets of Venice. Fancy her? Again, you guys are SICK. :-)

nathalie, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think she is brilliant and will not hear a word against her. If you don't like her You're Out of Your Mind. Ahem. I don't care if she isn't really Posh. She was on GMTV shopping with Lorraine Kelly in Dolce & Gabbana and Gina this morning, fantastic stuff.

Emma, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I rather be out of mind and not like Poosh Spice, than see her as brilliant. Okay, she could be considered brilliant... like cubic zirconium. ;-)

nathalie, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely it is a joke fathomless power against us all that she is considered "posh" by ANYONE!! She is a nitwit and she looks ill to me, but she is utterly harmless and so is Becks (who = rowr in a sarong, tho he must shut his yap if he is not to be kicked out of bed for eating Quavers)

mark s, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why do we only talk about raunchy looking women on this bitch???

Ally, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(blimey you're up early, ally)

mark s, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I know :(

Ally, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not a posh spice fan, although I used to heart geri a whole lot. I am however all about Lisa Steps: I even like their duff cover of Chain Reaction, but that may be the nurses' uniforms in the video...

alex t, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If Posh = your friend's fanciable mum, then Geri = YOUR mum acting embarassing by flirting with your friends, walking around in a bath towel in front of them etc, causing nausea all around

dave q, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Baby equals your friends mum who's dead nice but a bit dim. Possibly a girlfriends/boyfriends mum, who just giggles at her own jokes about her daughter growing up fast or something.

Ronan, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Obvious Joke Alert: Sporty = yr mum's lover

mark s, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Posh Spice will never ever hold a guttering candle to the incandescent eternal flame that is S-Club 7's beloved Pramface.

Posh Spice should be renamed Stick Insect Spice, although I fear that Geri has usurped her to that title as of late.

Trevor, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hannah S Club = your younger sister's highly attractive best mate who dates boys older than you.

Jonnie, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mel B = dangerous drunken mother who tries to shag headmaster at PTA meeting.

Sam, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, I think Mel B is annoying divorced friend of mum's who tries to encourage yr mum to go out for a night on the tiles and let her hair down.

Nick, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

but if yr mum = geri, then her is already (metaphorically) down, esp as she and mel c are walking round in hers and hers towels

mark s, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And jokingly pinches your bum when you come in from playing football.

Jonnie, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes. God, why do I feel like I hate this imaginary mumfriend so much when she bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone in my family set-up?

Nick, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rachel S Club, slightly older girl next door type who never goes out with anyone

Ronan, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hannah S Club = your younger sister's highly attractive best mate who dates boys older than you.

-- Jonnie (jonnienumber5@hotmail.com), September 11, 2001.

Surely you jest??? Attractive???

Kodanshi, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hannah's lovely!

Where do you get all these pictures? THOSE, btw, are the shoes I'm talking about, the Posh Spice shoes that broke and made me fall down.

Ally, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Heh heh heh. I have my sources...

Kodanshi, Tuesday, 11 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Attractive, yes. 'Cool and funny', no.

the pinefox, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Funny (though not on purpose), yes. Attractive, most definitively not. What is wrong with you lot? You all worry me. She looks like she got beat with an ugly stick. All of the others are prettier, why don't we talk about them?

Ally, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What's an ugly stick?

Ronan, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I once made a statement that Ms. Posh had barracuda teeth. I stand by that statement.

These days, the most attractive Spice Girl is Emma. I am COMPLETELY SHOCKED by this, as I always considered her ultra-icky.

Dan Perry, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ally, such typical sexism! Judging women on their looks! I heart Posh Spice because she's cool and smart and funny and is probably the nicest person ever!

dave q, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would argue that the coaster on my desk is a hair smarter than Mrs. Beckham. You're talking about a woman who told Jon Stewart on national television that British comedians were funnier than him because their humor was based in sarcasm.

Dan Perry, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"So I guess you missed the sarcasm dripping from my voice all interview, princess?"

Ally, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cue Emma dissolving into helpless giggles. I always thought she and Geri were smarter than the others.

Dan Perry, Wednesday, 12 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think Emma's feet look quite supersexy too.

Kodanshi, Thursday, 13 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am a slightly overweight girl in her early 20's into indie/alternative music who hates Man Utd, and I think Posh Spice rocks big time- she's totally fab, and i've just bought her autobiography on its release date. So there.

Debs, Thursday, 13 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was gonna start a Posh Spice and David Beckham thread - like are they sweet or not. DQ, you're sposed to seem sensitive at first and then turn out to be a misogynist, duh.

maryann, Thursday, 13 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But this explains ... everything ... sort of! David Beckham credited with making 70% of British men say friendship with their partner is more important than sex! The evidence is compelling!

maryann, Thursday, 13 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

bobby bedelia, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 22:24 (eighteen years ago)

How do you mean, challenging? I quite like her in a "look at how crazy she is" kinda way. She seems one of those batshit pill-popping uber-rich wrinkly widows who want their maid to peel the grapes because there's no vitamines but too many calories in the skin. She's obviously so self-obsessed and self-centered that she doesn't realize anymore what's real and what's not. I'm assuming she thinks that she has to put up this show, because that's what people want (instead of what the media actually wants).

I saw the trailer and she looked such a Barbie.

Five million? Veronica Mars would have killed for those ratings (instead of solved a crime). hah.

nathalie, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 07:33 (eighteen years ago)

five live had their man in la talking about her and the show last night. basically, yeah in Hollywood no-one gives a crap. There she is the wife of someone not especially interesting who is fairly good at a sport no-one understands or cares to.

ignorant and attention-seeking, the only person interested in her is her.

Uptoeleven, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 08:37 (eighteen years ago)

She's trying too hard in such a lovely, British sort of way. Kind of like how The Stones and the Yardbirds tried SOOO hard on those old blues records.

You live in America, now, dear. Find someone to exploit, preferrably of a darker skin tone, get a HUGELY expensive car, and don't get in my way during my morning commute.

B.L.A.M., Wednesday, 18 July 2007 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

vs

Some 4.9 million people tuned in

onimo, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 13:56 (eighteen years ago)

Onimo, she has split personality syndrome.

You live in America, now, dear. Find someone to exploit, preferrably of a darker skin tone, get a HUGELY expensive car, and don't get in my way during my morning commute

Get a hugely expensive car? hahahaha Have you SEEN what she drives in?
And of course she's already exploiting David.

nathalie, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:19 (eighteen years ago)

Actually I think a Mini would even look large on/around her.

nathalie, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

I heart posh spice's huge lips and forehead in a totally lascivious manner, devoid of any redeeming platonic element

Heave Ho, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

the show was terrible. i only watched half, mind, but the scene where she goes to visit perez hilton guy and they wouldn't stop cutting to the 'wacky gay hairdresser' looking at him as though there was some kind of obvious love connection/jealousy over the dude's request for naked david photos was horrible.

Gukbe, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

onimo, 4.9 million is probably about an eighth of the potential viewership.

lauren, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

weird that the reuters article don't quote anyone west of st. louis

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, but still 4.899999 million more than herself. It's still a lot of people.

onimo, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

oh my god i can't believe i missed this

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:45 (eighteen years ago)

5 million viewers on american broadcast tv is pathetic I think. that's spongebob squarepants reruns on cable territory, and this is the first broadcast. NBC'll can her in three weeks.

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:48 (eighteen years ago)

They should get posh to replace the cuban dude they just killed on CSI Miami

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:48 (eighteen years ago)

I still can't believe they killed that guy though

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:49 (eighteen years ago)

who the fuck are these 4.9million people. if i had time i would visit each of them individually with a list of 4.9million better things to do with one's time than watch this vapidly pointless human being on television.

and i think nbc already gave up on the show.

Uptoeleven, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:52 (eighteen years ago)

I thought it was a one off?

onimo, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

It was just a one-off; NBC executives regained some amount of sanity and realized that the only people who cared about it were regular watchers of E! Television.

HI DERE, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

i can't believe that station still exists.

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

i believe it was meant to be a six-parter originally but a combination of the producers realising what a waste of time the show was, and her coming back to the uk (sorta defeats the point filming her in britain) meant they didn't have enough to turn into a series. so cut it early.

don't ask me how i know this shit; i don't care about any of it, am just unemployed and an insatiable consumer of news media and sometimes shit like this gets through.

Uptoeleven, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:00 (eighteen years ago)

NBC's second-highest rated comedy is the Office, which averaged about 8.7 million viewers, and that's during the actual tv season.

NBC's Last Comic Standing averaged about 4.8 million viewers in the summer last season, and it's currently in it's fifth one.

It wasn't a major disaster for NBC or anything. Not great, but for them, that's still pretty good.

Gukbe, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

haha vivendi/nbc/universal is basically being kept alive by World of Warcraft I think

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:20 (eighteen years ago)

duuuuuude why put a spoiler in here!

It was just a one-off; NBC executives regained some amount of sanity and realized that the only people who cared about it were regular watchers of E! Television.

I watch E! from time to time. :-( Mind you, I have to do something else and for not too long or else I'd have a brainmelt.

nathalie, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

(Well, I had a brainmelt when one female presenter said her fave band was Joy Division. WAH?)

nathalie, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

E! Television exists b/c it is the only station that gets LA! Or, more correctly, HOLLYWOOD! The only side of LA that matters, rite?

I have news, and I have said this before - all the reality shows or sitcoms or dramas and most of the movies that are based in and around Southern California are all entirely correct, authentic, and real. With the possible exception of Mitch, Butchie, Shaun, John, Cissy, Kai and the gang in Imperial Beach.

The Real Housewives of Orange County? My buddy from law school's parents live in that neighborhood, and they reportedly left OUT a lot of the really embarassing stuff.

I love this town. It feels like I'm riding the bomb on the way down. Where the grass is green (if your gardener is good), and the girls are pretty (with assists from tanning shops, botox, plastic surgery, and eating disorders.)

B.L.A.M., Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

i'm sad to say that i got obsessed with the real housewives of the oc.

lauren, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

And yes...Vicky B. is driving SUCH an LA car, its amazing. And I think that, to a large extent, her presence is the reason that Becks is making so much money out of this deal. He wasn't broke before, and that was largely due to his big game heroics with England and Man U., but this type of move requires couple-wattage star power, and they've got it.

For my part, I think she's fun, albeit reeking of effort at this point. She'll integrate herself into the LA landscape....at least it will be easy to spot her at Galaxy games.

B.L.A.M., Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

She's trying too hard in such a lovely, British sort of way. Kind of like how The Stones and the Yardbirds tried SOOO hard on those old blues records.

haha, this was good!

admrl, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

Anyway, I liked the show, it was major.

That said, I was packing moving boxes while it was on so I didn't really watch it properly.

admrl, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 16:10 (eighteen years ago)

Mega xxxxxxxpost to Nathalie:

I mean that my perception of her could do with "challenging" in that I would think what you said, i.e. "She seems one of those batshit pill-popping uber-rich wrinkly widows who want their maid to peel the grapes because there's no vitamines but too many calories in the skin. She's obviously so self-obsessed and self-centered that she doesn't realize anymore what's real and what's not. I'm assuming she thinks that she has to put up this show, because that's what people want (instead of what the media actually wants). " but that's not actually necessarily the case.

Obviously it doesn't *need* to be challenged, but she doesn't come across like that at all, really, and is pretty much a PR disaster, which is kind of rotten when you're one of the most famous people in Britain. And I kind of go ridiculously batshit overboard on unimportant celebs (I would totally watch E! btw, if I could be arsed) so this kind of thing is interesting diversionary entertainment and I get some sort of inexplicable pleasure out of celeb-watching. Except that I didn't really watch the Victoria Beckham because I was too busy watching the next load of unimportant celebs-in-waiting on the other side. But I saw enough to give her credit for either being less vacuous than I thought or more media-savvy than I'd given her credit for. Either way, I think more of her now than I did last week.

ailsa, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

Which, I guess, was the point of the programme. Shame I'm not American, really.

ailsa, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

What I saw of this programme was pretty good, certainly on a par with Borat. She was surprisingly witty when looking at Lionel Richie's old house.

Hopefully this will come out on DVD with "Moving to Madrid" in removal van-shaped packaging.

I am looking forward to the Beckhma bit next week.

Who is Simon Fuller? Isn't he the nasty one on X Factor? Is he really Beckham's manager, or have I been dreaming again?

PJ Miller, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

Nasty one on X-Factor = Simon Cowell. Simon Fuller was the manager of the Spice Girls. Beckham's manager, in a footballing sense, is Alexei Lalas, who is an American ex-footballer who used to look like the bloke from the Spin Doctors. That's someone American, who used to play football, not someone who used to play American football. And by bloke from the Spin Doctors, I mean those goons that sang Two Princes, not, like, Alistair Campbell or something.

Clear?

i always thought she had like the body of steel

Surmounter, Friday, 20 July 2007 06:03 (eighteen years ago)

her boobs apparently aren't as big in person either, whatever. I dunno, I tried to watch this but she seems to be missing any particular quality that would have gotten this picked up, be it trainwreck/crazy, teh funny, etc.
It ended with her trying to play baseball with little kids and being shit at it or something.
