Posh Spice’s Terrifying Pyjama Nightmare
9:23AM Clem Bastow | If you’re a particularly glam lady, known more for your extensive and jealousy-inducing collection of Hermes Birkin Bags and designer duds than you are for, say, stepping out in a tracksuit to get some milk and fags from the shops, what would be more terrifying for you: your plane nearly blowing up because a bird is sucked through the engine, or being seen in your airline-issue PJs?
If you are Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, you will choose the latter option.
Passengers screamed as the pilot slammed on the brakes and the plane screeched to a halt.
Fire crews were called on to the runway to douse the craft’s overheated brakes with foam.
It was then that the horrifying scale of the disaster really hit home for Victoria — she realised she was wearing standard-issue aircraft pyjamas and no make-up.
The Spice Girl launched into the emergency position and grabbed her high heels, designer clobber and lipstick.
She then stayed on the cancelled Los Angeles to London carrier to complete her showbiz transformation while the other passengers were bussed back to the terminal.
Atta girl, Victoria – you don’t want to break the fourth wall… or whatever.
Do you think she even owns casual clothes? Or is she just like Our Alannah Hill, who thinks casual clothes and flat shoes are “disturbing”? More » Posh Spice Wears Jeans And T-shirt, Shops At Target; Does… Not… Compute…
3:51PM Clem Bastow | By now it’s long been established that Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham more or less lives in couture and high heels, so the sight of her wearing something a little more casual would be stunning, non?
Add to that her predilection for (and funds to buy!) only the finest, and you would think that dressing like a normal human and shopping at Target would be way beneath Ms Spice, yes? We’re talking serious paradigm shift shit, dudes.
Think again!
The former Spice Girl swapped her trademark tightly nipped-in pencil skirts and cleavage hugging tops for a pair of flared jeans and – gasp – a sloppy grey T-shirt.
There was no designer handbag in sight as the mother of three trawled through discount store Target with son Romeo – she instead totted a red plastic basket as she made her way through the aisles.
You know, after her ill-fated and (un?)intentionally hilarious reality show, we were quite taken with Posh, and this just makes us love her even more! Other things we’d like to see Posh Spice doing:
* Picking a wedgie in the queue at Tesco’s
* Bleaching her upper lip while reading the paper on the balcony
* Deciding between ’super’ and ‘regular’ tampons in the supermarket aisle
* “Just popping down to the shops” in her PJs
Come on, Vicky, whaddya say? More »
Lily Allen Amazingly Does Not Look As Polished In Real Life As She Does In Highly Retouched Advertising Campaign
10:00AM Clem Bastow | The Mail continues to bring us all the hard-hitting stories we’ve come to expect from a paper of its quality, this time letting us in on a particularly earth-shattering secret: celebrities, like us, sometimes don’t look that great.
Personally, we’re shocked; we always thought NW’s “Stars Without Make-Up” issue was a delicately-wrought satire!
This week she’s been dubbed a British fashion icon by an influential American magazine and become the gorgeous face of a hair care brand, so it’s reassuring to know that even Lily Allen has the occasional bad day.
The singer, who features in the new and highly polished promotional shot for Braun hair products, was last night spotted looking a little worse for wear after another night on the tiles.
The story goes on to tell us that, um, she did some stuff, and then put on some clothes, and she’s got some gigs coming up. Or something. More »
