The Stick Insect at the Spice Girls Reunion

What is the matter with her? She didn't want to be there, obviously. Said she had to rush home to put her daughter to bed - in LA !! How ridiculous. I seriously think she has a mental problem - she always looks like she is at a funeral. What do you think? No I'm not jealous, before you all start. Apart from the fact she's married to David ! How does he put up with it? Or maybe she is completely different out of the limelight.

Yes you are jealous-just read your post, I'm amazed it hasn't turned the page green with envy.

I'm not a fan of Victoria Beckham's singing career nor a fan of David's tattoos.

I think she tries to keep her private self private by portraying this persona - she knows she needs media attention to promote 'business Beckham' and she gets it. Doesn't mean we see the real her.

They have both been famous almost before they were adults and as far as I know there has been no real scandal about either of them. They seem to have a good marriage and their children seem happy. They both spend a lot of time with them and with each other.

I don't think David 'puts up' with Victoria at all. It's nice to see marriage that hasn't ended up in a bitter divorce, don't you think?

I rate Victoria Beckham very highly.................member of a very successful girl band, married sex on legs, 4 lovely children, and a successful career in fashion.............there should be more british women like her.

[ummmm]

She did a 'At home with the Beckhams' type programme. She seemed completely normal, smiling and laughing.

[ladybirder]

Craft all those are reasons to smile surely.

[craft1948]

ladybirder I don't know why she doesn't smile more.............but I've also seen her in programmes where she has displayed a wicked sense of humour.

[ummmm]

Not if you don't like your smile, Lady.

[vodkancoke]

That's what I meant ummmm, she used to be really smiley and back then her humour came through. Sadly it doesn't now, but if she has the insecurities she does then maybe it's no wonder she won't smile.

[ummmm]

I think she went all pouty and serious as part of 'brand Beckham'

It worked...she got the column inches.

[ladybirder]

I have as well Craft, Parky comes to mind, but that was a long time ago before she adopted this silly pout. As a couple I think they set a good example, ie you don't see them falling out of night clubs, they have a work ethic and are good parents. David seems a nice bloke although I've actually never thought he was sexy, the voice and tattoos put me off. But then I don't think he'd fancy me either.

[Tizzi24]

I think she's insecure as well, she's probably had nasty remarks made about her so often and is fed up with being put down so often. I remember seeing her and David on Parky and they came across as a lovely couple. They seem to be bringing their kids up well also.

People that have met her say she`s really nice as it happens. I think the pouting is left over from the Spice Girls era when they each had a persona to portray. Hers was "sulky, posh" and it stuck. We had a little situation at work a while ago involving her. A bit of a cock up by all accounts. It was "our" fault and she was really good about it apparently. Some people ,celebrity or not, would have had a major strop but she was above that.

[cathfromsaron]

i feel she has put her 'singing career' behind her and didn't want to be there! but yes she looks miserable, and compared to mel c, not attractive!

how lovely and natural mel c looked!

I'd hate to have all the press attention and all the bitching that goes with it, so I feel quite sorry for Victoria really. Give the girl a break, she's had a successful career in her own right, she's got a lovely husband and kids, and a good marriage - and yet is constantly being criticised.
