I was looking through photos of The Elizabeth: The Golden Age premiere in London a couple days ago and I thought “What was Victoria Beckham doing there?” But it turns out the person in question is even less qualified to show up at a movie premiere, it was a little-known UK Big Brother contestant named Chanelle Hayes. Hayes has made somewhat of a career out of imitating Posh, right down to her outfits and vacant pout. I have to say she has it down, and she adds some much-needed curves and a more aquiline nose to Posh’s look.

After leaving the Big Brother UK House Hayes went to LA and started prancing around looking like Posh and hoping to get noticed, and she was - a little. People mostly commented on what a nuisance she was:

She’s not even in the house any more, but Chanelle Hayes continues to wind me up. Not content with iimitating Victoria Beckham in this country, Chanelle is currently stalking her idol all over L.A. - and when I say “stalking”, I’m really not joking - I’m surprised the Beckhams haven’t taken out an injunction against her.

Chanelle travelled to L.A. last week. Since her arrival, she’s been mostly hanging around Rodeo Drive dressed up as Posh, hoping that Victoria will rock up and become her new BFF. She also attended an LA Galaxy game, where, despite being refused entry to the VIP enclosure ( I wonder why?) Chanelle still managed to steal some of the limelight from Victoria - now we know why Posh was so stony-faced when David scored that goal last week. Chanelle then made a point of telling everyone who would listen how “gorgeous” David is, and how she has “fallen for him”. Yeah. What a great way to make friends with Victoria Beckham - follow her around dressed up as her, then go on about how much you fancy her husband. That’ll totally work, Chanelle!

As for Posh, she’s in no hurry to meet Hayes. The same blog quotes her as saying that she’s “flattered that Chanelle is a fan, but is in no hurry to meet her”.

Victoria Beckham was recently grilled by a British DJ about whether her boobs were real. On the Radio 1 breakfast show, host Chris Moyles blurted “Everybody knows they’re fake, Victoria, just admit it – we don’t have a problem with them. Seriously, you go jogging without a bra and they don’t move.” Without missing a beat, Posh said “I don’t go jogging,” but refused to acknowledge the question. She also said that David “loves them” when the interviewer compared them to an early Christmas present.

Chanelle Hayes is shown at the “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” premiere on 10/24/07. Victoria Beckham is shown in Paris at the beginning of the month. Thanks to Splash News for these pics.
