God help us, but there's a story going around that Poshy and David Beckham may be getting their own reality show. The Fox network (of course) has reportedly at least made an offer to them, and they are said to be mulling it over. The show, the be called The Beckhams (because The Two Vapid Nitwits wouldn't have sat well with them), would be modeled after The Osbournes. Great, another American reality show about low-rent Brits with foul mouths making a stupid spectacle of themselves. Of course, the difference is that The Osbournes were actually entertaining (until they started taking themselves way too seriously). The Beckhams, from what I can tell, have no discernible personalities. You could prop up cardboard cut-outs of them and no one would know the difference. The producers of this show, if it ever actually happens, are going to have to really use their imaginations to get any interesting material.
It's amusing to me that the American media are prepared to make such a big deal about the arrival of Poshy and David. I would've thought that, outside of people who read the blogs, no one over here is really that aware of them. Certainly no one watches soccer. And Poshy is not exactly what you would call a style icon in the States. Of course, before The Osbournes had their show, Ozzy was nothing but a fading rock-star, and Kelly and Jack and Sharon were completely unknown. Then they became cult figures. The best Poshy and Becks can hope for is to become maybe as popular as Ozzy and the gang, but I don't even see that happening. Unless they film Poshy hanging around with Tom and Katie a lot. It could be sort of like a reality show Married...With Children. Poshy and Dave as Peg and Al, and Tom and Katie as Steve and Marcy. Except, in this scenario, Steve is actually the gay one.
