Brangelina Who? Paparazzi Prepare for Beckhams

David and Victoria BeckhamDavid and Victoria Beckham might not be household names in the U.S. just yet, but they will be very, very soon.

TMZ talked to several prominent paparazzi agencies, and they all agreed that the Beckhams will be getting very special (and relentless) photographic attention from the minute they hit our shores. Said one well-placed source, "All the big agencies will probably send a couple of photogs over just for [them]." Another respected lensman told us that the couple's friendship with TomKat will only make them more visible targets for shutterbugs, and that they'll be at least as eagerly watched as Brangelina, if not more.

Of course, the Beckhams being the Beckhams, they're more than used to it. In the UK, they're more furiously hounded than the royal family, and far more than any other celeb couple.

No one is more used to having literally every part of his body scrutinized by the media as David Beckham: When he broke his left foot before the World Cup in 2002, newspapers and TV ran daily, almost hourly updates on his status, and a leading psychic urged the entire country to "will" Beckham's foot to health. And he played!

46. Brangalina Who?? You gotta be kidding me here. The Beckhams do not even hold a candle to Brad and Angelina. David may be a good looking blok, however, he is more of an over-rated and over paid soccer star in the UK and the US is more about Baseball, Hockey, Football and Basketball. He won't fit in. As for his wife, she is nothing more than a self absorbed woman stuck on herself. As for Brad and Angelina, they are solid people who are out in the world making a difference. Aside from that, I find Brad and Angelina much prettier than the Beckhams. This is no contest.

49. Oh, barf. He is really not that great of a player--his own team was sick of him! She is a stuck-up stick, or, er, stick stuck up the, uh....whatever. Doesn't she ever smile? The salary offered is an abomination. Just what we need---more useless, over-paid "celebrities". Posh will be plastered on every rag cover shown on shopping sprees and dancing sans panties on a table for the paparazzi with her new BFF's Parasite Hilton, Skank Lohan, and Red-Neck-Barbie: Britney Spears. Ho hum, what a bunch of losers. Send 'em ALL over the pond.

50. Pardon me, but I dont get what the big deal is. He's a soccer star in the UK, right? And....? We have bigger, more well known sports stars here in the US, and they don't create a firestorm regarding the papparazzi, so why him? Someone educate me on why he's such a big deal please. I honestly don't know much about him. And as for Posh, well....er, whatever did she do except gyrate during a few songs while her bandmembers sang? Help me out somebody. Tell me please, what the big deal is.

52. Wanna bet this is the beginning of the end of their marriage? Nothing lasts in LA!

53. He's stupid and she is a clothes horse who is hated by the media in Britain hence them moving to L.A, because Posh reckons that she wont be chastised in L.A. so good riddance to them. I never could understand what the hype was about. Brad and Angelina do great things for charity compared to these talentless bozos.

54. Brad at 31 (back in 1995) looked a hell of a lot better than David Beckham does NOW at 31. Brad had better abs too.

BTW - No one in LA cares about soccer, it's all about the LAKERS!

57. Yeah Yeah Yeah. He's beautiful. She's...interesting and bugs me already. We'll all get many chances to see them and probably a nip slip or two. Possibly a hootchie shot or two. And then there's her to worry about...

58. They are royalty in England, not sure why? But it will be interesting to see how they make their mark here. Just a couple years ago they could walk the streets of NYC and nobody even knew who they were. Must have been disappointing to the attention hungry Posh.

59. I love David Beckman! The most beautiful man on earth!

60. I don't think these two will be that popular over here. He's an over the hill soccer star and she's a washed-up has been from a really bad 90's pop band.
