Worlds biggest?

[Greenbhoy]

Are David and Vicky the worlds biggest Chavs?

Heaps of bling and kids called Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz?

[kick3m0n]

I bow to MORELLO...who clearly knows Victoria far, far better than any of us.  Given the certainty with which he speaks he must be a family member or close friend.  He wouldn't be one of those fuds that rush to judgement on someone he doesn't even know??

[natalie_1982]

I personally don't think Cruz is that strange anyway, I think it's a nice name, not that it really matters.  I mean what's really going to happen to him in school?  Cruz rhymes with booze?  Shoes?  Or poos?  My name rhymed with tatalie, fatalie, spatalie, splatalie, catalie, etc.  Did my parents get persecuted for calling me such a 'stupid' name?  My friend Ellie was called smellie belly.  Were her parents pulled up about calling their daughter such a ridiculous sounding name?  Erm, no.

[libertie]

Personally could'nt care less what they or anyone else choose to call their little darlings!  Don't even mind daddy Beckham, but I find Mummy Beckham a total pain in the pants the way she pouts and poses for the cameras at every opportunity!!

[MORELLO]

kick3m0m - I stand by my original question, and by my opinion.

[kick3m0n]

I would expect no less MORELLO! I would ask you the opposite....how do you know she's not a shrewd business woman?  Surely it's remarkable that someone so disliked and vilified, with such little talent, can be worth (in her own right) a considerable amount of money?    It's not just money wisely invested from her time with the Spice Girls, but also money from advertising campaigns, sponsorship deals, books, fashion and maternity wear.   I'd call that shrewd, or enterprising, or smart or ambitious.  Take your pick. 

[becks]

Morello are you seriously saying that you can't see how shrewd a businesswoman VB is?? She has amassed a HUGE fortune for her and david, based simply on HER branding and image of Product Beckham. You might not realise how much advertsising VB does as a lot of it is in Japan - where her and Becks are massive. She's a shrwed business woman for maintaing that image, getting the sponsorship deals, being paid to wear all manner of designers, and how can you say she's "only" being a fulltime mum cos she's rubbish at everything else. I refer you to my earlier  psot - yes she may be talentless when it comes to singing, but she was still one fifth of the biggest ever girl band - doesn't matter that she wasn't any good at it. She has built up the beckham empire - they are worth squillions, - do you think DB would be advertsining gillette if he hadn't married aspice girl? WOuld she be donning D&G all the time if she mhadn't married a footballer? She has used her guile and business sense to cash in on the footballer/pop star image, and while she has to pay the price in terms of paparazzi and kidnap threats, the couple are worth more than they could ever spend!

[natalie_1982]

Agree wholly with kick3m0n and becks, and even if it's VB's employees that arrange the publicity and advertisement she is still amassive part of that.  It's easier to knock someone like VB than realise what they're really doing - she can't be that bad a businesswoman (even if she is a full time mum) or she wouldn't still be doing it.  

I can't sing a note either, neither can I act or tap dance but if someone offered me �Xmillion to wear a pair of jeans, lipstick or certain dress I would and I don't think there's many who wouldn't.

[MuppetBabies]

No the Beckhams are not chavs. Chav is more of a state of mind than what you wear. Those people are multi-millionaires, albeit tasteless ones. I can't think of many 'chavs' with millions in the bank.

I agrewe with whoever said that the biggest chaves are the ones who call everyone and anyone else a chav, and who seemed to lock onto the term about the time The Sun got behind it. I mean, come on!!

As for the people who complain about someone else's name - get a grip. Kids are nasty, and will always find things to take the michael out of people for, even if you're called John. On the plus side, you have the privilege of actually having an interesting and unusual name, as opposed to just being amongst a herd of sheep.

[jakesi]

You've all fallan into the Beckhams world off media coverage, no matter what they call there're kids or what they get up too, you will all talk about it, just what the media want. It could be good,bad or ugly does'nt matter it will sell a paper or mag. See I'm doing it now.

[Heraldeer]

definitley chavs and deserved of a media mauling. 

When you position yourself to get maximum exposure when doing anything, i.e. dine, shop, kids party etc invite OK! mag to snap you're wedding, stop and pout at every camera, go on every talk show possible, you are asking for the public and media to judge you.  If they feel its unfair they should step back from the limelight and act like any other footballer/dried up pop star couple (Redknapp and Louise?)

[natalie_1982]

I don't understand how you can justify laughing at a baby's name because his parents are famous Heraldeer. 

You're right they are in the media a lot of the time, and a lot of it may be their own doing but for pity's sake the woman has just had a baby, has another two young children, is constantly labelled a failure, been through probably one of the most traumatic years of her life and people on here think still it is ok to abuse her because she's famous?  It's shallow and ignorant.

[natalie_1982]

Louise Redknapp (Nurding) was never one fifth of the biggest girl band in the world, and Jamie Redknapp isn't one of the biggest name in football history.

[Greenbhoy]

and god knows how David became "one of the biggest names in football" as he is a one trip pony that runs up the wing and crosses over. When faced with a decent left back (Roberto Carlos) he is totallly ineffective. Now he has moved into the middle, it has exposed his lack of talent even further. As for his "trademark freekicks", there are a nunber players that have a much larger scoring ratio from free kicks than he has. 

[smudge]

Greenboy - I certainly wouldn't class David & Victoria Beckham as CHAV'S!

They have both done well in their careers (well up until now) & it's patently obvious they both love their children to bits.

Okay, I can't stand Vic's never ending pouting, but that could be put down to insecurity (of personality - not financial)? Also, the choice of their children's names aren't to my taste - but it's none of my business, or anyone elses.  I wish them all a very happy future together -x

[smudge]

In A Pickle - I'm amazed that you know someone in their 80's with the name Elvis. I had no idea it was a Welsh female Saint name.

However, the girl that named her baby boy Elvis, was an Elvis fan. I was too & a fan of Ferrero Roche - but you have to draw the line somewhere!

[galltin]

Zowie (not Zoe ) did  in fact hate his name and changed it to Joe when he was older.As for the Beckhams apparently he wanted Edward ( after his Dad) but Victoria felt it was too ordinary.

[natalie_1982]

At the end of the day children will always find a way to take the piddle out of your name, and I'd personally call any child of mine Cruz before Edward!

[Dark Angel]

Carol This is not exactly a case of anybody banging on the Beckham's door, berating them for naming their children these 'different' names. Its just public opinions on two public people. Which is human nature really, to voice opinions, good or bad. 

That's not to say I have anything against the Beckham's- In fact, I think they have achieved fame on their own merit, they are attractive and they seem like decent people.
