Quote: |
Former Spice Girl singer Victoria Beckham, the wife of England soccer captain David, has confessed she has never read a book.
Despite struggling for a hit record for some time, Victoria Beckham said she never had a spare moment to leaf through anything more challenging than fashion magazines.
The Sunday Mirror newspaper revealed the shock admission after seeing a forthcoming edition of high society magazine Chic.
The confession is all the more startling given that it would appear to include her own autobiography, Learning to Fly.
"I haven't read a book in my life. I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines," she was quoted as saying.

What a shocker!
An airhead married to a jock. I wonder how their kids will turn out? |

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise; having lived through the Spice era in England and thus being unable to get away from her and her mates, it was clear enough that she hadn't exactly been cramming overnight to inject some penetrating insight into her interviews.
Still, nowadays there are plenty of other means by which to absorb information. I would guess that many adults no longer in the educational system read more words on the screen of a PC than in the pages of a book.

I don't believe a word she says, it's all in the name of spin. There is no way anyone can get through life without reading a book. No way. |

Alright them apart from them.
Victoria has the soul of a poet though, are you telling me this is the work of an illiterate?

It choked me up just to type that |

Stop fooling yourself.
That's the product of 100 monkeys on 100 typewriters for at least a month. Okay, maybe more like a week. |

Is she the one intended to attract the kiddie-porn fan demographic? Sorry, I never heard of the spices. Was moron spice the guitarist or the drummer? |

She was/is an intensely annoying 30 year old stage-school graduate who would dress in frilly pink dresses and put her hair in pig tails in order to look 'cute'.
I'm no woman-hater but I would have gladly chopped up her legs as firewood to burn the rest of her body.
Sporty and Scary were alright though. |
