Beckham Bares Bottom, Again

HerBadMother — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:33:00 GMT

I suppose his bottom isn't really bare, is it? It's tightly wrapped in Armani boy-panties, which is the point, I suppose, seeing as he's stripped down for the express purpose of selling Armani underwear. I gotta say, no wonder Victoria keeps insisting that he impregnate her - he is one smokin' piece of man-flesh. A little fey in character, maybe, but indisputably cut.

I love that he always puts on that grr-rawr face when he's showing off his body - like he's an angry half-naked person, who deeply resents that he's been forced to disrobe, when in fact we all know that he luuuuurves taking off his clothes and thrusting his nether regions (fore or aft) toward a camera. I suppose, though, that a big cheese-eating grin might undermine the deeply serious panty-couture vibe that they're going for with these ads.

David Beckham Pulls Down His Pants. Again.

I guess that we wouldn't really call David Beckham the new face of Emporio Armani underwear, would we? I mean, it's not really his face that's going to be selling those boxer briefs, is it? It's his ass.

It's gotta be a big relief to the Beckhams that he got this endorsement deal, because his earnings last year fell a reported 28% to - gasp - 11.1 million dollars due to loss of endorsement contracts. Maybe that's why we've been seeing so much of his ass in recent months - he's been plugging for a new deal. Good thing, then, too, that he keeps getting picked for those 'sexy' and 'manly' lists (as opposed to the 'unsexy' and 'who'd want to sleep with them' lists that seem to becoming more popular, and which could probably kill an underwear endorsement deal) - the more that we hear about the awesomeness of his ass, the more we'll want to see it. In Emporio Armani underwear. Or out of Armani underwear. Whichever.

I don't need much convincing. I think that he's as girly as they come, but I can't deny his rear end. No wonder Posh keeps getting him to knock her up. Okay, wrong end of the nether regions, but still.

David Beckham Named Manliest Man Alive; Hemingway Spins In Grave

HerBadMother — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:32:00 GMT

David Beckham is, I think we can all agree, a pretty stellar example of beauty in its masculine form. He's no Michelangelo's David - I should hope not, anyway, for the sake of his sex life - but he is pretty cut and buff and chiselled in all the right places.

(Doubt this claim? Check this out and tell me if you still disagree.)

But manly? Worthy of being named the most masculine male star? Excuse me while I try to keep my sides from splitting open from ALL THE LAUGHING.

David Beckham is about as metrosexual as they come. Buffed and waxed and polished and slicked and drenched in beauty product, this guy is the very antithesis of manly. He is more girlishly vain than even his wife - who, I think, holds a more convincing claim to the title of 'manly' in that household, not least because she looks like she can and does kick his ass - and more often than not presents as prettier than his wife. So he's a skilled athlete - so what? He's the feyest player on the pitch - when he even gets on the pitch - and no amount of bending his balls can make him seem any less a well-coiffed show-puppy and any more a man. I'm sure that his kids think that he's pretty dude-tastic - who doesn't want a sports star for a dad? - but the sportiness doesn't make up for the manliness-deficit caused by his excessive use of hair-gel and his hopeless addiction to having pretty nude portaits of himself done.

This is manly:

This is not manly:

Pretty, maybe, from an arty point of view, and certainly somewhat hot, but manly? No.

It's a pretty stupid list, if you ask me. Not as gratuitously stupid as that Unsexiest Woman Alive list that we discussed yesterday, but still, pretty dumb. Other names on the list included Matt Damon and Justin Timberlake, which lead me to believe that this list was put together by somebody's granny. And Steve Jobs? Really? Somebody's drunk granny put this list together.

Who do you think should have been the list? Who should have been at the top?
