Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, 31, has never read a book

[trackaghost]

There's an interview with Victoria Beckham in the newspaper today where she confesses she has never read a book.

She says: "I haven't read a book in my life, I haven't enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines."
Does this mean she hasn't read her own autobiography Learning To Fly or her husband David Beckham's autobiography My Side?

Does anyone else think this is rather weird. I mean how the hell did she get through school without ever reading a book? She almost appears to be boasting about it too.

Ugh - that is disgusting. Just disgusting.

I hate that - I knew a guy in a college class who also bragged that he'd never read a book - and how did he get through class? He made friends with all the stupid cutesy girls - and they'd let him copy their stuff - and sit next to him during tests

How can one "write" a book if one's never read one?? Stupid posh spice.

Actually - that's a bit sad...her loss though.

It is sad isn't it? I mean how much she misses!

I would just be embarrassed to admit that, especially seeing as she has written a book herself, although saying that, it probably had a ghost writer.

I hate it when people who've never read a book are rich and famous. But, you know, like she said, it does free up a lot of time and brain space, within which to get rich and famous.

Seriously - I wouldn't want to admit that!

Her book almost certainly had a ghost writer and someone who's never read a book could not possibly write one worth anything. I don't think she'd pick up mad writing skills from fashion magazines

Isn't she embarrassed?

I always thought she was a twit, but I never knew the extent of how uneductated the twit is.

Is anybody REALLY surprised by this news? She's never stuck me as even marginally educated.

I'm not so much surprised by it, but I'm surprised she admits it. I'd be embarrassed, I mean she has two kids!

It always surprises me when people say they've never even read one book

I know not everyone loves to read - but come on - never reading a book? That's just sad.

Evidently she HAS learned how to put on makeup and spread her legs. From what I have seen and heard about her, that pretty much takes care of the main things she appears to be put on this earth to do.

Of course she has read a book. How could she get through any education past third grade, which she apparently has. So, that is pish posh I think a more accurate statement would be she has not read on in a long, long time - probably since high school.

You're probably right on that one. Still, what I don't get, is why she seems almost boastful about it. I think we're probably all a little confused about that.

I've never been a fan of hers or her husband.

She has? News to me. She looks like England's answer to Bobo the Clown.

Naturally. She would have to learn how to do that, considering how rich and famous she got without one iota of talent.

I dunno, there was a report not long ago that revealed a certain percentage of students got through so many years of school without even learning to read!
I reckon you could fake reading a whole book easily enough while at school by just writing from your notes and from your friends. It's also pretty shady what Posh's qualifications are.

But anyway, this is all beside the point. I just can't understand why she would admit that in an interview. It's not something to be proud of, doesn't she realise that? What an airhead.
