June 14, 200620 yr Beckham and sister 'Fat-ham' A German tabloid newspaper lampooned the family of England captain David Beckham on Monday, describing his sister as "Fat-ham" and his mother as having the "smile of a peasant". When the entire Beckham family decamped to Frankfurt to watch England's opening World Cup match against Paraguay on Saturday, Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper seemed just as interested in what was happening in the stands. Beckham's 24-year-old sister Joanne came in for especially harsh treatment in the full-page spread accompanied by colour photographs. "Dear me, is she chubby. Arms, bust, bum, all very British. Joanne is the sort of girl who drinks sangria on the beach in Majorca. And then dances on a table with her top off," said the paper. The Real Madrid star, who earns an estimated 17 million pounds ($32m) a year, flew his relatives to Frankfurt in a private jet. Bild described his mother Sandra, 50, as the "superstar's mum with the smile of a peasant". The Beckham photospread is the latest salvo in the tabloid war between Germany and England to coincide with the World Cup.

June 15, 200620 yr Author lol ... i read that .. my gosh ... you guys shouldn't take everything seriously you also made fun of our pope because of that hitler thing ... :dozey: you were pointing your fingers and actually didn't have a clue what it was about I don't have a problem with people taking the mickey out of David and "Stick"toria - I even do so myself. But Beckham's mum and sister are just ordinary members of the public and should be left alone. They have nothing to do with it!:angry:
June 15, 200620 yr there was nothing bad about his mum ... only about his sister and wtf? there's always gossip about people that aren't even famous
June 15, 200620 yr Author there was nothing bad about his mum ... only about his sister and wtf? there's always gossip about people that aren't even famous Yes there was - they said she had "the smile of a peasant". That's insulting!! Gossip is nearly always about people who are in the public eye for some reason (usually of their own making). Beckham's mother and sister have never courted publicity as far as I know.;)
