We've made jokes before about the stupid shit that celebrities will cover in diamonds, but Victoria Beckham wants you to know that she's not one of them. Responding to a recent story in the L.A. Times, the Hollywood Reporter's Ray Richmond wrote:
David and Victoria shower each other with lavish gifts, the story said. "While Victoria was expecting their third child, Beckham spent $1.8 million for a diamond encrusted sex toy with matching 16-carat diamond necklace."As fate would have it, I was scheduled to take part in a conference call with Victoria in connection with her one-hour NBC special, "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America," scheduled for 8 p.m. ET/PT on Monday. Though I've spent a lifetime interviewing people great and small, I've never had the privilege of talking to the owner of a $1.8 million sex toy.
When my turn came, I got my chance. "Does the immense value of this item tend to inhibit you from using it?" I inquired.
And that's when I discovered that, all those Pulitzer Prizes notwithstanding, you can't absolutely rely on the Times.
"It isn't true," Victoria said, her voice calm and measured. "We do buy each other nice things," she admitted, but some things get exaggerated. "I don't have a diamond-encrusted vibrator."
It's a butt plug. It doesn't vibrate.

I'm disappointed Mrs. Beckham doesn't have a Million Dollar vibrator. That's what the world needs.
