You know, I never get to write about W — it's gorgeous to look at, deserving of its various design and photography Ellies, and had the most memorable Ellen de Generes cover since "Yep, I'm Gay." But aside from scandalous 60-page photo spreads featuring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt acting out their affair while he was still denying it to Jennifer Aniston and a couple packages special-delivery from Dolce & Gabbana, it doesn't crack the hard-core media wonkosphere all that often. So I was thrilled the other day to discover a genuine hard-core media nugget in W, courtesty of the waiting area at Fox News (yes! It's where Bill O'Reilly gets his fashion advice!). I was planning to wait until I read the required 7,000 words of the various applicable articles — that is, until I saw the cover of this month's mag, featuring the impossible hotness of Posh & Becks, aka David and Victoria Beckham, spicing up my life at a glance even as I wonder how three children could possibly have come out of her body, and find myself in agreement with millions of sperm-seeking Chinese women while ogling his. Seeing as those 7,000 words have failed to read themselves, Posh and Becks have also done me the service of providing a legitimate reason to post this item, anyway, because they really are that hot. I'm sorry, what can I say, I like the Spice Girls, David Beckham makes my knees all woozy, I secretly think "2 Become 1" is dreamy and romantic, I own the Mel C. solo album and the Geri Halliwell single of "It's Raining Men," and I'm tired of writing about Katie Couric, even if Bill Carter isn't. Plus, sometimes it's fun to see just how many items that have absolutely nothing to do with each other I can cram into a post. Oh like Judith Regan's the only one with a surprise up her sleeve! I don't think so.
p.s. Is the photo made more or less hot by their positioning, loosely reminiscent of that of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo? Discuss.
p.p.s. I found the sperm link above by searching for "sperm" in my Gmail, thanks to the advance-prep email sent out by the FoxNews PA for last week's jaunt on RedEye. So, thanks, Fox News! You're the gift that keeps on giving! And if it turns out that Brit Hume had secret CIA dealings with Valerie Plame we can make it a trifecta! Though the real story would be that she wasn't just behind a desk the whole time, right, Sean Hannity? Okay, I think I'm done here.
