Since some of us were discussing the Beckhams not so long ago.
Mr & Mrs David Beckham are back in the spotlight again. They have sued a Brit tabloid News of the World for an article that appeared last year. The article, entitled 'Posh and Becks on Rocks' insituated that they weren't really the happy couple they would have us believe they are and, to quote, that they 'cynically and hypocritically' gave the impression that they were happily married 'in order to protect their commercial interests'.
So the couple will now have to go to court to prove that they are indeed one happy couple and they are not just putting up a 'cynical' and 'hypocritical' show to 'protect their commercial interests'.
My first reaction was: Wah, this type of court case also got ah?
Now, let me state that no one but the Beckhams themselves know what kind of marriage they have so I'm not going to comment on that. But I just wonder how any couple is expected to show they are/were happily married and not just acting out a part for whatever reason. And, in this case, it will be the 'were happily married' that they have to prove, I suppose.
Seeing that the offending article was written last year, how are they going to prove that at that time, they were having a rosy time? Imagine the kind of witnesses who have to be called. Maybe they need to get a neighbour who was spying on them to say, 'On such-and-such a date, I saw her getting up at 4.30am just to fix him a wonderful breakfast.' Or a frustrated Real fan who might say, 'He missed his wife so much that in this-or-that match he couldn't even kick the ball straight.'
I am also amused that the tabloid goes by the rather straitlaced name of News of the World. I believe it was this same tabloid that printed those text messages supposedly exchanged between Beckham and Rebecca Loos.
Very interesting, this 'Beck/Bec' connection. Beckham is 'Becks', Rebecca must have been called Becky, Becca, Beck or whatever sometime in her life. And Lleyton Hewitt calls his wife (Rebecca) Bec, etc... Not that he has anything to do with all this. The name just came to my mind. Wonder if she (Mrs Hewitt) has given brith yet. Thought VB had already given birth to their 3rd child but apparently not.
