as far as a publicity stunt goes, this at least gets my attention. when was the last time a book, that wasn't for some crazy diet, was even mentioned in that tabloid trash. perhaps the first small step of a global revolution?

And Posh Spice will be right at the vanguard, spearheading the movement towards change....

I really can't picture Jennifer Lopez and Katie Holmes discussing Charles Dickens, that would be an awesomely surreal sight. Although it would be cool if literacy was the new Hollywood craze, after fad diets and Scientology.

Don't forget Kabbalah.

She'd have to start reading herself first:

"I haven't read a book in my life," Beckham confesses. "I don't have the time." However, the 31-year-old former Spice Girl does shrug off suggestions that she is a philistine. "I prefer listening to music, although I do love fashion magazines."

Exactly what I was thinking. Also this:

"I don't read to him at bedtime that much yet. But what I do use is flashcards, which are actually supposed to be better for kids. And it suits my attention span better as well."
- Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), on reading to her 1-year-old son, Brooklyn

I can imagine the first meeting of these literatus.

Posh - 'So, our first book was 'Wuthering Heights'. Anyone care to give her impression?'

J-Lo - 'I was disappointed that the book didn't stay true to the source material. I mean, Heathcliff is a cat, not a man!'

Posh - 'I know! I'm half way through 'Leviathan' by Thomas Hobbes, and I'm still waiting for Calvin to show up! What is up with that?'
