Victoria Beckham is spitting mad. Stiletto-kicking mad. Or any of the other ways abnormally small people can be mad. Posh is enraged that a magazine would have the audacity to say she’s on diet pills. Clearly she places quite the priority on health, good wholesome eating, and lots of exercise. There is absolutely no way the 83 pound former singer could possibly be on diet pills. Utterly ludicrous.
Victoria Beckham is dragging a British magazine into court for saying she’s on diet pills.
The skinny star is furious because tabloid rag Now said that she had her sister sneak the tablets from the UK to Los Angeles to help her keep her weight down.
According to reports, the mom of three is said to be “horrified”, and even says the false claims are “dangerous” because she is a role model to so many people.
The former Spice Girl’s agent Jo Milloy said today, “The accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue.
“Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story.
“It is now with her lawyers.”
[From OK! Magazine]
How dare they say she’s on diet pills! Clearly Posh is just not eating at all. Diet pills imply that she probably puts a morsel or two of food in her mouth. Okay I’m done with the sarcasm. I actually highly doubt this story is true. I’m sure if she uses any kind of help (besides that traditional not putting anything in her mouth route), she’s got a team of doctors that can get her top of the line stuff. Pills and shots and creams the rest of us have never even heard of. Probably stuff that hasn’t even been invented yet. It’s that good. I really doubt Posh has to get her family members to try to smuggle pills through customs.
Here’s Posh and David at the Espy Awards on July 17th. Images thanks to PR Photos.
Oh, those shoes just look painful. I know that has nothing to do with the story but she is basically on point in that picture.
Skinnier than a daisy stem, with big, perky boobs. Yeah, that’s normal.
I’ll say right now that I really like Victoria Beckham, fake boobs, crazy footwear, salad-only-eating and all.
Frankly, I have seen a number of interviews and I have always found her very funny and I appreciate that she is always standing up for her husband and seems (at least from pictures and gossip) very devoted to her family.
The diet pill story is probably a lie, because VB has had several legal battles with UK paps, has won some and lost some, and very likely wouldn’t isntigate something legal if she didn’t think she had a good chance of winning.
ya people just have no idea how easy is to get controlled diet drugs when ya have loads of cash!
and they are tremendously effective!
they let ya go out without eating for days or just regulate how much you eat,depending on the dose ya take!
So eating just a salad is no prob and easily turns to a habit (once your stomach is reduced to the size of a penny), ya can even go to an all you can eat on a weekend and just stay without any food for a week! so ya compensate!
I say that, because, yes…i´ve been on diet pills for quite a while a few years ago, I would count every single calorie I would put in my mouth, and thats how I´ve got a nice eating disorder! Cuz believe me, inst that simple to get to that point when ya´re just having a salad and nothing else with it besides a perrier, through out the whole day!
I was taking femproporex, sibutramine,even a drug who acts direct on the thyroid…that makes ya burn all the fat in your body in like 10 min and 10 glasses of water! well I didnt do that one for long….or else I wouldnt be here today!!!!!!!
my point here is that i dont think that is a totally fabricated lie! maybe she is not doing it now, but like every 6 months, a quick maintenance! lol
and what kind of a role model is she really?
what does she stands up for? I don´t get it, sorry.
Cocaine, baby!
I dont see that woman bein much of a role model for anything. Yay, lets teach our kiddies how to not eat, spend ridiculous amounts of cash on clothes for the label no one will ever see, and be insanely picky and stuck up.
What the woman needs to invest in is a bra. She looks a tit bit nipply in these photos!
Posh looks fab!
She’s always said she does it all with willpower and after ten tears of not gaining a pound, I believe her.
She’s famous for her ‘iron will’ and considering she made herself and her family into international icons out of – lets face it – not very much, it’s not a stretch to believe her.
Becks would be nothing but a good looking has been without her – and he knows it
Didn’t one of her employees say she took Ritalin or Aderall or something? I think it was in US Weekly or one of those. I guess she could say it’s not a “diet pill” it’s an ADD pill it just happens to coincidentally destroy her appetite and help her “iron will”..
I think she’s on the one-finger diet m’self.
Where does she get the crazy idea that she is a “role model to so many people?”
Where are all these people, in outer space??
How do you just not eat? Don’t you get light headed and can’t think? Or do you just over come that after a while?
I think she’s admitted in interviews before what her ‘diet plan’ is and it basically consists of not very much. Like she eats nuts and seeds until dinner time, where she has a salad for dinner. Basically she starves. I think that’s how she stays slim.
@ Megan – “Basically she starves. I think that’s how she stays slim. ”
Well. That, and a regular script for Dexedrine and Adderall.
And, Posh can sue naysayers ’til the gazelles come home (no cows come home to Posh Spice-Beckham, only skinny gazelles 😉 ,) but the oppositioon party’s lawyers won’t be allowed to delve into her personal physician’s records – I mean, if she’s getting her scripts with an adult ADD/ADHD problem like every other savvy bitch in the rarefied world of Gotta – no, REALLY Gotta Stay Skinny.
I think she really successfully re-invented herself, and in an interesting way. When you see her in interviews she still comes across as a relatively relaxed, sometimes fun person.
What I have never understood though is, why the heck she is called “posh”. She’s a lot, but I could never see the posh bit. Perhaps she re-invented the meaning of the word posh, too 😉
@syko – if you happen to read this: thx for your comment on the other thread re avatars; made me feel much better 🙂
I don’t know, Reasons, about the re-inventing thing. What did she re-invent herself as, a billionaire soccer mom? She’s THE soccer mom of all soccer moms. Lesser soccer moms have shrines built to Posh Beckham, and they hold bi-weekly secret meetings in the basement of the richest soccer mom’s house in the neighborhood they all live at.
They serve Dexxies and sugar-free Red Bulls at these meetings, and later on, in the dead of night when the kids are asleep and the babysitter’s up late watching reruns of The Sopranos and eating all their snack food, and the husband’s disappeared to another one of his “poker parties,” they’re secretly congregated at some dive bar in the shady south side of their upper-middle-class town, and drunk their asses cross-eyed and slutty on cheap vodka, while nervously chewing on 20Mg Adderall like they’re orange-flavoured tic-tacs, all the while floating in their individual narcissistic reverie while imagining themselves to be like a sort of timeless, aristocratic Grace Kelly every time one of them graciously turns down a spastic request for a date from some fly-paper skinned, incessantly grinning backwoods country meth-head.
The Superwoman Drunk within her at this point enthusiastically agrees with every mundane clip of rubbish that oozes out of the anemic, anorexic and in HER mind, gorgeous middle-aged soccer-mom compatriot’s thin-lipped mouth, and she doesn’t even remember the last part of that night, ’til she awakens some time late morning the next day, next to no pudgy, judgemental husband but just a heap of sweat-stinky bunched up sheets on her bed and the screeching libretto of fighting pre-teen kids and toddlers down there on the first floor, also known as “where the kids live.”
If I had to live like that, you better TRUST and BE-fukkin’_LIEVE I’d do anything and eveything in my power to stay crazy skinny and maintain some kind of edge.
Ehn.
Where was I?
Something about Posh Beckham…
I agree with codzilla. Maybe she takes them for the buzz you can get from diet pills. Don’t they have something similar like legal form of cocaine in them?
Makes me sick thinking some people consider her a role model..
And Celebitchy, PLEASE tske my post off moderation, PLEASE. I spent a long time and a lot of thought composing this damn post, I implore you, PLEASE take the mod-lock off. 🙁
@ Nag – “Don’t they have something similar like legal form of cocaine in them?”
eR – YES. Like Dextromethamphetamine, (a.k.a. Desoxyn,) for instance, which – you could get into an interesting debate with a diehard speed freak about the superiority of dextrometh as compared to pure cocaine, but that’s just junkie talk, and we won’t have any of that around HERE. 😆
Anyway, don’t worry, you’re not missing out on anything, Nag or Codzilla; junkie talk’s pretty fukkn’ boring anyway. 😆
🙄
Snowblood…..’but that’s just junkie talk, and we won’t have any of that around HERE.’
Aww, why not?
I was being dryly wry, ’cause I just spent about an hour composing a post here which got shunted to auto-moderation, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what damning keywords I might’ve used in it. I tried several times to change the bloody thing to pass customs, to no avail. It WOULD usually really piss me of, but I’ve been drinking far too much grocery store sale-priced Chardonnay tonight for it to any longer be a point of angst with me.
*and at that, Snowblood throws down the remaining glass of tepid cheap Chardonnay, ungritting her grim jawline for the fraction of time it takes to swallow 5 ounces of warm vino*
*cough*
ANYway. I gotta go out to the patio and have a smoke & do some journal writing. Love you bitches… 🙂
I think the mod block gets put on when you use a swear word.
Snowblood……get CB to send you a list. Some of the words are seemingly innocuous but they come up regularly on spamming posts. 🙂
Snowblood–it WAS a very entertaining piece of fiction (which you should certainly think about writing), although I couldn’t figure out what it had to do with Victoria Beckham!
Megan–my observation about VB, is that she ‘invented’ the Posh “character” during her Spice Girls days, and knew very well that it wasn’t Victoria Adams (her maiden name).
Then when she and Beckham got together, they became the British version of Brangelina–the paps went crazy for them and they really became scrutinized by the media.
Part of that was big headlines whenever anyone thought VB was the slightest bit overweight.
(It still happens–when the Spice Girls did their reunion tour, there were these pictures of VB with a roll of skin near her arm above her bustier costume–all this time eveyone is talking about her being “scary skinny” but one grainy picture of extra skin and it’s all over the internet)
My point of this is that I think that is when VB became, much like Princess Di in similar circumstances, very self-conscious about her appearance and began maintainig a very low weight.
The more troubles VB has had (in her career or her personal life), the more ugly the media has been to her (and it must have been hellish on many occasions), so VB has pulled the “Posh Spice” persona around her like a blanket, until, in public, that’s exactly what she became.
I think it started as a defense mechanism to deal with the pressure of the paps and the invasion of privacy. The whole fashionista “look”, the whole not-smiling thing, all became a part of her Posh persona, and had less and less to do with Victoria Beckham.
Which maybe worked in Europe, but not in America. Dita Von Tease also has a ‘persona’, but it’s just a look/a style–she never tried to be anyone but herself.
I think VB went wrong because she tried to “be” someone else–she invented a “Posh” personality to go with the look, and you can’t maintain that for any length of time.
That’s why she always looks aloof and snotty in pictures, but sounds very down-to-earth in interviews…she needs to let herself be Victoria Beckham again. I feel so badly for her, because it must be awful to be so insecure you think you can’t be your ‘real’ self.
And when criticizing her weight, people might want to remember that anorexia is a huge problem in Hollywood because celebs are pressured unbelievably by the industry and the media into being “thin”–especially in a world today where pictures of celebs can be taken anywhere by anyone with a cell phone.
I am hoping that VB will shed her “Posh” persona and just be herself for a change.
Role Model!?!? Hahaha. Whatever crazy.
Obviously, I have no idea what she’s actually taking, but coming from someone with some experience with Adderall, the diet supressing part wears off after extended (a few weeks straight) use. So maybe that’s how she shrunk her stomach (and appetite) with Adderall in the first place and then it was easier not to eat, but I doubt she’s continuously using it (unless it’s a subconscious thing that makes her THINK she’s not hungry…)
What stupid shoes.
What a stupid idea… Definitely, she can’t be a role model for anyone.
Well she,s not a reference for anything.
