Is David Beckham Famous in America Yet?

demonrail666 · 05.30.2007, 10:25 AM

Just wondering.

pantophobia · 05.30.2007, 10:29 AM

his wife will remain more famous it seems

also no US sports outlets are even talking about him being called up by the English national team and if that would conflict with his commitment with the LA Galaxy

Trasher02 · 05.30.2007, 10:31 AM

I hate Beckham and his wife.

Weird. They both speak so highly of you.

Beckham and Posh are becoming infamous for trying to be famous.

They are in bed with the tabloids and every news outlet that will have them to encourage round-the-clock coverage of their doings.

He recently bought her a two million dollar platinum-plated, diamond-encrusted vibrator. No kidding.

Look at how beautiful it looks in Garamond black.

Man, now "like acid" is becoming an understatement.

he will never be famous here besides tabloid bullshit, because he is past his prime in a sport that only 12 year olds play in the USA.

God I hate Celebrities. Its somewhat of an offensive term really. When I think of Celebrities I think of airheads in magazines, silly little big brother people and Elton John. No one would call Sonic Youth or Iggy Pop 'Celebrities'.

In Britain Celebrities have become the new aristocracy. Except at least the aristocracy had more class. Its one of the terrible things about 'new money' people go round spending it in such vulgar and distasteful ways.

my little sister teaches at a school in LA where their child is going to be attending.

she had told me this about a month before it was "announced" that they were moving there so when I heard about it on the news, I thought it was odd that it took so long to become a story.

my guess on the lack of timelyness is there was a concerted media PR blitz.

too bad amerikkkans don't care about either SOCCER (bicuits!) or the De Spize Grills. a concisive list of Phil Spector's hair products would be far more interesting.

*yawn*

I think he's already been named for the squad. Whether he'll actually get to play is another question.

Steve 'gypo' MacLaren would sooner eat his own eyelids than accept he might've been wrong about totally dropping Beckham from the squad after the world cup.

He's been playing brilliantly for Real Madrid recently. Word is that by going to LA Galaxy he's now sort of screwed his chance of regaining a steady place in the England squad. He should've stuck it out in Europe for a couple more years.

he is in Argentina

fishmonkey · 05.30.2007, 04:57 PM

love him or hate him Beckham is a great footballer, i have no comment to make on Posh Spice as i dont really see her function, i think it was fuckin madness to drop him from the England squad and am actually happy he is back, ok he is supposed to be dopey and a bit thick... i'm fuckin dopey and a bit thick but i could never do what Beckham can do with a football. i'll always stand up for him, he served Utd well and even to this day has nothing bad to say about the club

(and no, i dont fancy him)

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.30.2007, 05:49 PM

I live in Los Angeles, and the only place I have really heard about it is on the BBC.... so I'm guessing no?
