I clicked the link to the VB article and was pleasantly surprised. Those photos with the kids with Beckham were really lovely. I want very much to be cynical and say that she was merely doing this for some good publicity, but I don't think that is the case. As far as photo ops and charity work go, there are far more glamourous causes these days (hence why every damn celebrity/socialite shills for Operation Smile), and more exotic places to go that Clay County, Kentucky. Her smile seemed really genuine, and even if she was playing it up for the cameras, I highly doubt that those kids were. #victoriabeckham
@Tchotchke: I really liked the last one where you can barely see her. I think a lot of celebs would have insisted on sitting at the front of that big crowd of kids rather than being jammed way in at the back.
But as I said in another thread I am an unabashed VB apologist! #victoriabeckham
Is "I hate doing school scenes and office scenes" the hollywood equivalent of "I never want to have a desk job?" Are offices so terrible that even pretending to work in one is miserable? #victoriabeckham
@NellMood: But how many films are set in offices? Lots! And how many films show life on a film set? Not many. Secretly, movie stars desperately want to be just like us, working in offices, complaining about air conditioning and eavesdropping on conversations in the next cubicle. #victoriabeckham
@heykoukla: Do you think celebrities secretly gaze at office workers coming out of starbucks with lattes and think "They drink coffee! Real people are just like us!"? #victoriabeckham
@NellMood: For sure - why else do you think we always see them holding Starbucks coffees? They're pretending they're on their lunch break. #victoriabeckham
@heykoukla: I wonder if there are secret magazines ("Regular." "Them.") just for celebrities full of accountants and dentists driving Hondas and picking up their own dry-cleaning. #victoriabeckham
Geez Ethan, in a world with TMZ and paparazzi who jump in front of cars and call celebs whores to get a reaction, you think Gawker Stalker is a problem? #victoriabeckham
@helladesigner: She has the same smile and upturned, scrunchy mouse nose as my little sister. They really do look similar So I can only be fond of VB as a result! Plus she always seems really funny and self-deprecating in interviews, she's very happy to take the piss out of herself, which I appreciate in a celebrity. #victoriabeckham
@rah29: Aww, that's really cute! Your sister must be adorable. My younger sister resembles Little J on Gossip Girl, so I get what you're saying :)
I just think it's so funny how VB's entire face changes when she smiles. It's quite lovely. I've watched a couple of her interviews, and I've found myself smiling when she smiles or laughs. (But I'm also one of those people who cries and laughs when someone else is crying or laughing, I can't help but be emotive.) #victoriabeckham
Oprah claimed that citizens of Dubai get free water, electricity and health care without paying income tax. While it's true residents are not subject to income tax, there is no support for the other claims.
Ugh. Besides being wrong, it also fails to account for the fact that the vast majority of the "poor" in the UAE are non-citizens workers who are subjected to some of the most insane, horrid worker conditions for the benefit of rich folks partying and kicking it it.
UAE is the absolute worst, worst, worst place in terms of the treatment foreign workers and there is a well documented human trafficking and slavery trade. I cannot fucking stand that place and roll my eyes every time someone from NY claims that they love shopping or staying there. #victoriabeckham
I for one cannot wait for InStyle's much anticipated Smell-O-Vision issue. Breathing in the odor of ostrich-skin satchels and designer fragrances made of genuine virgin tears really gives the realization that you're living in abject destitution that extra pop. #victoriabeckham
Snark all you want, but the semester I lost my dog I had a nervous breakdown and failed all my classes. I don't care what anyone says, when you have a fucked up family (which it seems j.simp does) your dog is sometimes the only person who seems to unconditionally love you.
I have to admit, despite my dislike for her, I feel really bad for Jessica Simpson. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to have your dog carried off by a coyote, or other animal. As the owner of a 2.9 lb chihuahua, I'm scared to let her outside alone, for fear of hawks, or even squirrels. (She's bite-sized!) I would freak if anything happened to her. She's my baby! So, I understand how Jessica is in a bad place and grieving.
After all, they're not just pets, they're members of the family.
@Urban Sombrero: I was telling my husband last night about the sad loss of Jessica Simpson's pup and we both agreed that it would be heartbreaking and devastating to lose one of our dogs, let alone by having them snatched by a carnivore in front of our eyes. We have a pomeranian and a chihuahua and neither of them could really put up a fight.
Anyone making fun of her plight is just mean. Pets are so much a part of a family and their loss, especially in this way, is cause for grief.
