Victoria Beckham, Honestly: ‘Beckham’ Doc Producers Turn Focus to Posh Spice for New Series

Victoria Beckham, Honestly: ‘Beckham’ Doc Producers Turn Focus to Posh Spice for New Series

The posh life of Victoria Beckham will soon get the Netflix docuseries treatment. An as-yet-untitled look at the Spice Girl’s fashion and beauty businesses is set to begin production, the streaming service announced. Beckham, her family, and close confidants will speak to her “fashion journey” to becoming her own brand’s creative director, according to the network, and display artifacts from her archive that have not appeared in public. The streaming service’s announcement did not mention Beckham’s history with music or the constant gaze of paparazzi that has surveyed her private life for the past 25 years. No run date has been set.

Nicola Howson, who produced the Netflix docuseries Beckham about Victoria’s soccer star husband David, will also produce the Victoria docuseries. Beckham was well received, earning multiple BAFTA and Emmy nominations, and a clip in which the couple argued about Victoria’s family roots went viral (chagrining David). Julia Nottingham (Pamela: A Love Story; The Greatest Night in Pop) will also produce.


Beckham, who rose to prominence with the Spice Girls in the Nineties with the nickname Posh Spice, launched Victoria Beckham Ltd. with a line of dresses developed at an eponymous atelier in 2008. The company has since expanded its offerings to ready-to-wear fashion, eyewear, and leather goods. The brand describes its aesthetic as “a considered blend of classic British luxury with a subtle contemporary flair.”

The artist reunited with her fellow Spices earlier this year at her 50th birthday party in April. The quintet joined forces for a rendition of the 1997 Spiceworld hit “Stop,” which David Beckham filmed. This follows Britain’s Royal Mail honoring the quintet with a line of postage stamps earlier this year.

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.

Fact Checkers Try to Shield Trump From Project 2025’s Abortion Madness

One of the odder features of American journalism is that the columnists who hold themselves out as “fact checkers” and review claims made by politicians — calling balls, strikes, and “pinocchios” — are unusually terrible at it.

Fact checkers offered up several botched reviews of content from the Democratic National Convention, but nothing has broken their brains like Democrats’ sustained attacks on Donald Trump over Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda, which is laid out in gory detail in conservatives’ Project 2025 policy roadmap.
