The current water cooler chat here is entirely focused on the British Royal Family: David and Victoria Beckham.
Posh’s reality TV show “Coming to America” was a national event last night. For days leading up to the special, Posh was promoted from the gossip section to front pages news. SKY News (the UK’s equivalent of Fox) has been covering the “Becks” arrival in the States nonstop. Posh was their lead story yesterday, with only minor interruptions to announce that a Member of Parliament has been suspended after being found guilty of accepting bribes from Saddam Hussein.
If you didn’t catch NBC’s airing of “Coming to America” on Monday night you missed out on some quality television. This show had it all:
Drama—Will the Becks be welcomed in America?
Suspense—Will Dodger fans boo Posh off the mound before she throws out the first pitch?
Intrigue—Does she EVER eat?
and Comic Relief—Only in LA could a Spice Girl be the most normal guest at a luncheon.
After watching the hour-long broadcast all I could think was “Here is a woman I can relate to.” Seriously! She loves shoes, she doesn’t cook, she shares my belief that throwing on a sweat suit does not count as getting dressed, and she’s a bad driver. Now throw in our common bond as newcomers in a foreign land – Posh and I are practically the same person.
