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.

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.

Cops Who Falsified Warrant Used in Breonna Taylor Raid Didn’t Cause Her Death, Judge Rules

Cops Who Falsified Warrant Used in Breonna Taylor Raid Didn’t Cause Her Death, Judge Rules

A federal judge in Kentucky ruled that two police officers accused of falsifying a warrant ahead of the deadly raid that killed Breonna Taylor were not responsible for her death, The Associated Press reports. And rather than the phony warrant, U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson said Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was responsible for her death because he fired upon the police officers first — even though he had no idea they were police officers.

The ruling was handed down earlier this week in the civil rights violation case against former Louisville Police Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany. The two were not present at the March 2020 raid when Taylor was killed. Instead, in 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland accused the pair (along with another detective, Kelly Goodlett) of submitting a false affidavit to search Taylor’s home before the raid and then conspiring to create a “false cover story… to escape responsibility” for preparing the phony warrant.
