David Beckham:  The Voice Behind the Man

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Specials, NBC

I’m not sure why I’ve never considered him before, but after having watched NBC’s Victoria Beckham: Coming to America special and drooling over the latest issue of W—I have finally moved David Beckham into my ever-changing Top 5.  Which Top 5 would that be?  The list of freebies (ala Friends) my husband can never be upset about.

But despite Beck’s wealth, athleticism, appearance in a suit and ability to sport any hairstyle and still look good—his placement on my list does come with one caveat:  He..must..never..ever..speak.

Why?  Because the minute one word is uttered from his mouth…his hot-ability quotient immediately plummets.  Men everywhere should be happy to know that God helped level the playing field by giving him the whiniest voice to ever grace an incredibly gorgeous man.

For those of you familiar with his not-so-dulcet-tones, here’s my question to you:  Who or what does he sound like??  While he fortunately hasn’t given many soundbites here in America, I haven’t been able to pinpoint during those quick snippets who he sounds like.  My friend likens his voice to a leprechaun, but my money’s with the Geico Gecko.  Votes?  Thoughts?

Spice Girls Attempt a Comeback

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Gossip, News

No, it isn’t a joke. The Spice Girls will reunite for eleven concerts around the world, and will begin touring this December. This will be the fist concerts for the Spice Girls (or will they call themselves Spice Women now?) since their 2001 breakup, and the first time all five original members have been together since Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) left the group in 1998. Victoria Beckham will join Halliwell on tour, along with Sporty Spice Melanie Chisholm, Baby Spice Emma Bunton, and Scary Spice Melanie Brown.  With seven children between them, the Spices definitely aren’t girls anymore, and Baby Emma is currently pregnant with her first child. EMI will release a Spice Girls greatest hits album (seriously…they have enough “hits” to fill a whole album) in November, just as the tour seriously kicks off.
