POSH AND BECKS

It's not that they're untalented—they arch their backs nicely in porny W fashion shoots. They're excellent at peddling fragrances. And when it comes to lending suspect Scientologists an air of heterosexuality, there's nobody better. But is that any reason for a besotted media to swarm David and Victoria Beckham daily? For ESPN to devote 19 cameras to film his July soccer debut with the L.A. Galaxy (even though he played all of 16 minutes)? For the Washington Post to muse on his chances of being knighted? Let's face it: He's an overpaid soccer star; she's a pointless collection of body parts.

We call it enlightened.
