Perez vs. Posh, Face to Face
Celebrity gossip blogger extraordinaire Perez Hilton is becoming something of a celebrity himself. He's been mentioned on everything from CSI to The View, lampooned in cartoon form, and even attacked by Joss Stone. With his star on the rise, it was only a matter of time before he was called upon to pimp himself out for the very same celebrities he mocks. Here, in a clip from NBC's documentary "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America," Perez has a sitdown with the erstwhile Posh Spice, and must cop to a few of the barbs he's flung her way.
Mrs. Becks comes off pretty well here, poking fun at her public image (mirthless, joyless, foodless). Sure, there's a moment when it appears that she's going to shoot lasers from her eyes and melt Perez on the spot, but she doesn't, and Perez keeps his head, and it's all fun and breast talk after that.
None of this really answers the deep philosophical question, "If Victoria Beckham comes to America, will anyone care?" But it's a fun way to spend a minute or so.
