Victoria Beckham: 'I hate the limelight

Marie Claire Celebrity News: Victoria Beckham Allure

Victoria Beckham says she doesn't like being the centre of attention and that being in the limelight makes her nervous.

With no hint of irony, the former Spice Girl tells America's Allure magazine: 'I'm not the kind of person that stands there and loves the attention.' She continues: 'It might look that way, but it makes me very, very nervous.'

She also admitted that she doesn't think of herself as a traditional beauty, saying: 'As you can see, I’m a normal-looking girl, and I just make the best of what I have.

'I’m not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all – I’m incredibly ordinary.'

The former Spice Girl also revealed that she doesn’t use a stylist to create her myriad of outfits. She added: 'I don’t have a stylist… I deal with that side of things myself. If I need accessories, I’ll go get them myself.'

She's a down-to-earth girl after all, then.

I laughed at this one. She is insane to say that as she is the world's biggest self obsessed poser anyone has ever seen. She makes me cringe every time she stands and pouts n poses when a camera is around. She is anorexic and obsessed unhealthily about her appearance. She is a clothes horse n has lost the plot saying that. America doesn't seem to like her as much as the uk. She is the opposite of natural. She is a plastic doll with falsies n a bit dim too. She is the most obnoxious well known person I can think of, and that's the truth.

I can believe she doesn't have a stylist. That's why she's got the LA dress down and comfy look so wrong.
As for hating the limelight, rubbish! She made her and David the famous couple they are today by making sure they were photographed every single place they went to.
Look at Jamie and Louise Redknapp. Famous gorgeous footballer, lovely gorgeous popstar. Kept themselves to themselves through choice. VB could have done the same thing, but she wanted the fame and the money that came with it.

What a crock of rubbish. The woman invented the art of self-publicity. Crap all round. (and as for the comment that she looks so natural and calm, it's amazing what can be achieved with a stylist, hairdresser, make up artist, some airbrushing....)
