5. Can’t wait to se how all of this pans out.

Disappointment usually follows gratuitous hype.

That said, they’re a global entity, not some American only non-entity. People will be following this all over Europe, Asia, Africa and South America .

6. I think I'm gonna puke...really, who cares about these 2?
I'm not a Brangelina fan, but THEY are more appealing than these
2 overinflated egos who will be flying over the pond..

7. We don't care. Our papparrazi harasses people we know. I'd rather see pictures of Taradise getting denied at Hyde for the hundredth time than a has-been Spice Girl and her stretched-out Ryan Seacrest husband.

8. i will stop reading any publication (online or print) that covers skeletora and the idiot she is married to. yeah, he's kinda hot, but dumb as a post (reference a vanity fair article...he barely speaks english...and he's english!). she is ugly, inside and out. i am ready to stop feeding my celeb habit if/when these two start making headlines.

9. On the other side of the pond, they're commenting on his 5-year $250,000,000/ £128,000,000 deal (unheard of wages in Europe... and I'm surprised the Americans would pay a 'soccer' star as much as a baseball/ basketball/ American football player). In Britain, they're saying American Major League Soccer is going to be much less competitive than the leagues in England, Spain, and Italy. Since resigning the England captainship and no longer being chosen for the national team at all by the new England manager... not on Real Madrid's first team for months now.... He said he's not doing it for the money... it has to be that, more than he's ever earned in Europe and in endorsements... or he'll automatically be the best because he's used to playing in Europe! No one can say that Brazil, European teams, and Argentina don't dominate world football!

They'll never be called anything but Posh'n'Becks.

The wife aside, apparently now not singing, not acting, but a 'clothes designer' (clotheshorse, more like)... the British press have said one factor in the move is their friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (at least no one's calling her Kate Cruise). That's pathetic, who'd trade in their parents, siblings, nieces, nephews and friends for Tom and Katie?

11. PoshnBecks...Welcome to L.A. !!!

The Beckhams will bring a breath of fresh air to a scene wearying of over-exposed stars such as
Britney Spears,
Paris Hilton and
Lindsay Lohan.

Celebrity watchers said they could fill the gap left by couples like
Angelina Jolie and
Brad Pitt, and
Tom Cruise and
Katie Holmes, both of whom have shunned publicity in recent months to raise their young children.

"We are really excited about it. David and Victoria together could potentially become the hottest couple in Hollywood. There is a big void there," said Ken Baker, west coast editor of Us Weekly magazine.

"We will probably have to get extra staffing just to deal with them," Baker joked.

The Beckhams are already friends of Cruise and Holmes -- whose Italian wedding they attended last November -- and Victoria was spotted house hunting last summer in wealthy Malibu and Bel-Air. David already runs a soccer academy for young players in Los Angeles.

"Victoria has told friends she likes Los Angeles and likes being in Hollywood. She's been to The Ivy (restaurant), she's been to The Polo Lounge, she's been to fashion shows. She is familiar with the landscape and I think everyone will welcome them because they are fresh faces," said Baker.

Patterson said Americans who follow celebrities were fascinated with the couple. "There is a certain mystique to them. He is gorgeous, she is gorgeous, she is a style icon. They live this incredibly glamorous jet set life."

Despite the paparazzi, the Beckhams may find Los Angeles a welcome relief from the fish-bowl of their native Britain and from Madrid, their most recent home.

"In LA, paparazzi do chase stars but celebrities can get lost here a little more and blend because there are a lot of other big celebrities here too," said Baker.

12. The hype won't last long.

Posh is a "has been", and soccer is not really recognized in the United States. After the initial "freak show" the hype will die down. And the people who paid him that obscene amount of money to play here will be disappointed.

13. The Beckhams vs. Soccer;

I don't, never have, seen one second of this European, so called game...why would I watch an 'over-the-hill', former English player, who's being paid too much to come to America?

I would not...and will NOT!
