All celebrities take note: if you want to live your life with some measure of privacy and not have the paparazzi give a crap about you, you need to become friends with David Beckham. It seems that when Becks is around, no one gives a crap about any other celebs. Any and all who hate being followed by the paps: get yourself a David Beckham. Or a David Beckham impersonator. Hell, even a well crafted cardboard cutout might work well. According to E! News, it worked great for Lindsay Lohan – who was pretty much completely ignored in Beckham’s presence.
If Lindsay Lohan ever decides to be keep a lower profile, she should consider spending more time around David Beckham. Lohan and her gal-pal Samantha Ronson were on the same flight to New York today as the soccer hunk.
When the two girls got to the luggage carousel, there wasn’t much fuss: Some kids asked for autographs and a single paparazzo snapped some pics.
Then Beckham sauntered to the carousel…
“About 25 people ran over to him, and there were at least five photographers who showed up out of nowhere taking photos,” a source reports. Beckham had to hightail it to NYC after last night’s ESPY Awards in Hollywood to get ready for Saturday’s Los Angeles Galaxy game against the New York Red Bulls.
[From E! News]
I am currently papier-mâché-ing (that’s a really hard word to conjugate) a life-size Beckham as we speak, to keep the paparazzi from following me. Every morning when I leave the house there’s this guy across the street with his camera. Always sitting on his couch, aiming the zoom out the window at my apartment. Oddly he does it a lot at night, too. Into my window. Weird.
I’m absolutely convinced he’s with X17 and is following me. He just bought that house 7 years ago knowing I’d move to the fanciest part of Brooklyn, become crazy famous, and be a great paparazzi target. Now that I have my faux-Beckham to carry around with me, the guy will have something better to do. Plus, being seen with David Beckham makes me look cool. It’s a win-win.

Having David around would make me ignore pretty much anything too. *Sigh* I’d probably even forget to breathe. Yowsa.

Lola, you read my mind. Those Armani ads are so hot they should be illegal.

Wow he should use his powers for good and stand by Paris Hilton at all times.

I do think he is yummy…as long as he doesn’t speak. The little british mickey mouse voice is just a little too startling.

Snappyfish: I totally agree. I was really disappointed the first time I heard his voice but that’s why those Armani posters are so fab. All hot bod, no itty-bitty voice! I wish I had one (poster that is, not voice)…

I am perfectly willing to be his friend. All he needs to do is ask.

WHY is Posh so pose-y? AUGH! He should elbow her and tell her to stop acting like a shop window mannequin and smile once in a while…
Sorry off the topic from Becks I know…

A friend of mine knows him and his family – says he’s a complete sweetheart, the nicest guy ever, but not the brightest bulb. Posh is as obnoxious as you might guess.
Apparently David’s parents are incredibly nice. My frind visited them at home when David lived in England, and they kept offering to serve tea and were just really nice people all around.

I don’t care if he’s too dumb to know enough to not touch a hot element, he’s so freakin’ hot it’s ridiculous. Who could concentrate if he’s in the room?

David is hottttttt!! Lola, like you, I was disappointed when I first heard him speak, but I can live with it=)
As for Posh, I think she is clever and witty. So what if she doesn’t smile, that’s her look. She’s also well-dressed and comes off as a classy woman. A little on the thin side, but no one is perfect.

Lindsey,
You are becoming the new Tara Reid, Paris Hilton, etc.
Once Maxim dishes on you and kicks your lame ass out of the top 100 pieces of ass-like they did to Paris- your done!
Stop before it is to late-I did like Herbie and thought no one but you could have made that movie more realistic-hahahahahaa-NOT!!!
Get a new publicist and get a job. Maybe disney will feel pitty and offer you the script to Hanna Montana meets Lizzie McGuire. Opps-sorry your not Hillary Duff and couldn’t pull that one off.
Your 15 mins of fame are almost up unless you revamp your once promising career with something relevent. Sorry the lesbian thing worked for Ellen because it was who she was-your not fooling anyone. Because frankly, you have not done anything for a while and your no longer relevant an any sense of the world now…
