Are female celebrities really that much more hateful than their male counterparts? The answer is yes, according to a recent survey that revealed that the British public disproportionately reserves their celeb wrath for women. The top five most loved celebrities were men—Paul McCartney, Lewis Hamilton, Gary Lineker, Simon Cowell, and David Beckham—while four of the top five most hated were women—Heather Mills, Amy Winehouse, Victoria Beckham, and Kerry Katona. It’s interesting to note that two of these women—Winehouse and Beckham—also topped at least one Worst Dressed list. Is it just her miniskirts that make Victoria such an odious specimen while her husband deserves our adoration?

Probably not. Many experts think that there just may be a trace of the misogynistic to all this (shocking, I know, in these post-feminist times). Professor Diane Negra at the University of East Anglia believes, according to the BBC, that “despite years of equal opportunities, the media—and the people who watch and read—prefer the stay-at-home mother over a woman who lives her life in public, particularly one who is overtly ambitious or successful in making money.”

There’s evidence to suggest that this misogynistic method of judging celebrities is perpetrated primarily by other women. According to advertising and celebrity culture expert Hamish Pringle, men tend to look up to male celebrities, while women tend to trash female celebs.

Fellow women, please let’s not justify James Rigby of Wickford’s views on the female character. In a comment to this BBC article, he writes, “Women are generally catty about other women, rarely men. It’s a function of the primordial instinct whereby women fight to get the best mate. They see another woman, in a position of power, become jealous and seek to usurp her. These days the usurping is done by bitchiness and gossip.”

All in favor of being drastically different from the women in this Rigby dude’s life, say, “Aye.”

Best of Famecrawler: Victoria Beckham Pops 'Em Out

Rachael Brownell (Redsy) — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:11:00 GMT

Posted by Karen

Beckham recently looked a little deflated in the chest and all I can say is I called it!

The Spice Girl had her implants removed to avoid having them pop out of costume during the tour. That is so bizarre. Will she pop them back in after, like contact lenses?

Weird.

Also weird, she just admitted she has no talent. I know, shocker #2.

She said: "I'm no Mariah Carey, but I can sing.

"It became very obvious from the start that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a 'natural.' You know, I've never been that good at anything, to be completely honest."

Well rumour has it that she is a very good mother -- and that is something I can definitely stand behind.

Best of Famecrawler: David Beckham Can't Keep His Pants On...

Rachael Brownell (Redsy) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:08:00 GMT

Posted by HerBadMother

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.

Sure, soccer is all about balls and footwork, but this is ridiculous. Looks like Becks may be riding the bench both on and off the field.

Don't worry, he'll be back to his other ride soon enough.

Best of Famecrawler: Good Help is Hard to Find

Post by Bad Kitty

Victoria and David Beckham, here with 4 year old son Romeo and Victoria's incredibly expensive handbag, are having some domestic troubles. That is, "domestics" trouble -- their two nannies just quit in a huff. I hope you're sitting down, because this will be shocking: it seems that Victoria can take a tone at times. And she expected them to be her hand maidens, doing dishes, laundry, cooking, and probably whatever else came into that so stylish head, like going to fetch a blow up doll to fool the paparazzi. I know. The shaking just stopped for me, too.

Puhleez. I call candyass on the nannies. They knew what they were getting, and they knew what they had. The girls were with the Beckhams for a while, six months for one, a year for the other. It's not like Victoria woke up last Monday and said, "Those nannies need a firm grip. I'm really going to put them through their paces, starting now."

Even if the world (including those nannies before they started the jobs) didn't have the benefit of a 24/7 chronicle of the Beckham's every move, just look at them. You can smell the air of dissatisfied nouveau riche emanating from them. They want things a certain way, they paid damn good money to get their faintest desire, and they will have it, so stop sniffling and get cracking!

I have to respect that Victoria, she's a woman who knows her mind. She's famous, loaded and doing Becks whenever she wants because of it -- that's her talent. She might be a pain to work for, but the woman is an inspiration for the rest of us.

We can hope that the mental image of Becks impregnating Posh is the final note on public announcements about celebrity babymaking intentions, but somehow I doubt it.

In an interview with the UK Mirror, Posh talks about living in LA, fashion, and how she and David would love another child. Here, I'll summarize: Posh finds the states quite good fun, British women have the best fashion sense, she's a regular mum (smirk, yeah, so regular) who hearts all children and hopes to have a dual passport kid someday soon.

You know, in her case it might just be (totally warranted) bragging that she gets to tap the ass of Becks. Wouldn't you?

Skinny B*tch: Why Victoria Beckham Bothers Normal Babes

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 11:56:00 GMT

Stupid Posh Spice. This time I'm not just saying it because she was in the Spice Girls. I'm also not saying it just because she has a better haircut than I do and she gets to have sex with David Beckham. This time I'm pissed off because she bought a diet book. I know that normally shouldn't matter. I've purchased several diet books, but I am not a size zero. Nor do I have a 23 inch waist.

Here's the thing. The Daily Mail has an article that reports that the paparazzi took a picture of Victoria Beckham buying a book called Skinny Bitch. Beckham, who has previously admitted that she has an eating disorder doesn't look to me like she needs to be dieting.

After the photo was published on the web, the vegan diet book's sales went through the roof. Now, I have no problem with vegans (unless they expect me to try to cook something for them) but I do have a problem with a diet book that berates the reader, who is obviously already feeling bad about herself.

What was I saying? Oh yeah, Posh Spice? Dieting? She has the waist of a seven year old! She is the mother of three! How are her children ever going to learn how to eat healthy. How is my daughter ever going to learn how to feel good about herself at a healthy weight if the people the media obsesses over continue to obsess over their own weight?

Posh & Katie To Launch Kids' Clothing Line?

Alisyn — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 00:11:00 GMT

Is your mini-fashionista dying for a pair of $300 silk ballet flats to wear to preschool? How about a rabbit-fur trimmed cashmere sweater for those chilly spring mornings? If the rumor is true, and Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes are indeed launching a line of children's clothing, you may be able to find such treasures at a Barney's near you. Because seriously? Baby Gap is for chumps.

A source close to Victoria and Katie says, "They are both really excited about this new project. Katie recently sketched out some designs for a party dress for Suri's first birthday and Victoria saw there was the potential there for the two of them to come up with some great designs. As they are both mothers who love fashion, it couldn't have been more ideal for them."

I had to laugh when I read that Katie "sketched out some designs", and that Vic "saw the potential" in them (and not just because Katie Holmes has no personal style, although that's so obvious). I laughed because these women are so... boring. They're so simple. I mean, with the amount of free time and money available between the two of them, they could be halfway to eradicating poverty in Los Angeles County a year from now now if they put their minds to it. But hey, I guess looking out for the all the fashion-forward rich babies in the world is a job unto itself. And who better to do it than these two?

"A Day in the Life of Posh" - Heartbreaking Video Footage of Victoria & Sons at Disneyland

Alisyn — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 15:33:00 GMT

Ever wondered what it's like to be a celebrity parent? Of course you have. But it ain't all $800 diaper bags and free designer baby gear.

If you really want to enter into the realm of the uberfamous, check out this video footage of Victoria "Posh" Beckham and her two older sons Brooklyn, 7, and Romeo, 4, at Disneyland recently. The wall of photographers yelling, shoving and popping flashbulbs in their faces doesn't seem to phase them too much - until Romeo (who has epilepsy, which can be triggered by flash photography) is almost hit on the head by a camera, at which point Victoria unloads on the press.

Honestly, after seeing this, my heart just broke for her as a mother, and for those boys, who will never know what it is like to live anonymously.

Posh and Becks Trying For A Girl (Trying Everything, In Fact!)

Patti — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 22:14:00 GMT

Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham has reportedly put herself on a fairly strict diet in anticipation of conceiving a fourth child with husband David Beckham, who has also embarked on a restrictive diet in an attempt to try and control the future baby's gender. Already the parents of three sons (Brooklyn, 7, Romeo, 4, and 18-month-old Cruz), the Beckhams are hoping for a girl this time around.

There seems to be little consensus on whether diet during the pre-conception period can affect gender, but there's a school of thought that a diet heavy in dairy and beans will create a hospitable environment for the conception of a girl while a diet rich in meat and vegetables will be more likely to result in a boy--the Beckhams, however, seem to be erring on the side of vegetables.

People also swear by the Shettles method for gender selection--I have several friends who are convinced it worked for them. But I think there's only one sure-fire way to guarantee you'll conceive a girl after having had three sons, and that's to hang on to every single blue onesie and fire-truck-emblazoned pair of pajamas. If Victoria and David have already gotten rid of all their boy-centric baby clothes, they're screwed.
