Default Posh Assault On US Television Backfires

From Sky News

Victoria Beckham's latest attempt to establish Brand Beckham in the United States may have backfired.

She said she was not taking herself seriously when she made fly-on-the-wall documentary Victoria Beckham: Coming To America - but television critics described it as an "orgy of self-indulgence".

Linda Stasi from the New York Post took Posh seriously when Beckham said: "I don't want to be seen smiling, or having fun, or eating, perish the thought!"

Stasi wrote: "If this weren't a one-shot deal and people were exposed to her vapid, condescending behaviour on a weekly basis, she'd not just be unwelcome in America, she'd be run out."

Whatever her intentions, Posh seems to have got off on the wrong foot.

The documentary was originally intended as a mini-series but was cut down to a one hour special by the NBC network.

The New York Times was easier on the new LA resident, saying she does seem to have a sense of humour.

But the paper does say: "That isn't quite enough to carry viewers through an hour of house hunting, sunbathing and applying for a driver's licence, all executed with 'Zoolander' pouts and poses."

Whether David Beckham's "relentlessly self-promoting wife" (Stasi again) can get the US media on her side remains to be seen.

But it is clear they are not ignoring her arrival.

If you don't believe me, click here for my sauce. It's tomato!

It backfired because some jumped up critics thought it was bad? Lets wait and see what the ratings say, and time will tell....

I hope it doesn't backfire, if it does they might end up coming back here.

Well I find it funny that last week she was criticised about not been seen with her children and now a few days later there she is out in the shops with them. And don't tell me she can't go shopping without being spotted, they know where they can go if they don't want to be seen.

sorry Richard and Judy are well know for sucking up to certain celebs and promoting their friends shows, books and films, so whoever they had on their show carries no weight for me, no matter what they said.

I watched the programme and saw a complete different side to Victoria.
She was fun, laughing, even at one point stuffed her face.

Yeah it was funny.

The show reminded me of The Simple Life, but obviously with a different format.

I watched a bit of it tonight, and OMG - how pathetic is she? How can someone so stupid, so talentless and so annoying be so rich and famous? Oh wait, I know the answer is her husband, but still! I hope that guy who owns that website didn't change the "Alien Invasion" thing!

But, I will admit that I enjoyed watching it!

I watched her show the other day. It was good, but at times she was a bit horrible. But apparently it's all staged and the PA is an actress so..
