We've heard a lot of whacked out, too-crazy-to-be-true tales in our life (many involving Paris Hilton taking it up the ass from a donkey, but we don't let our grandpa tell us stories anymore), but none have been as unbelievable as this: Victoria Beckham wants to start a book club. Hahahahahahaha. The next thing you know Lindsay Lohan will start a chastity club. Anything's possible in Hollywood.
If you are a longtime CelebNewsWire reader (Hi Mom!) you will remember this quote from Vicky B that we brought you in August of 2005:
"I haven't read a book in my life. I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines."
Compare and contrast with today's story from the always amusing and once in a while accurate FemaleFirst:
Victoria Beckham is to start her own Hollywood book club, with Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez set to join.The former Spice Girl – who moves to Los Angeles in the summer with husband David and their three sons – is keen to teach her American pals about classic English literature and sees the club as a perfect way to do it.
The 32-year-old star plans for members of the exclusive book club to meet once a month at each other's houses, where they will discuss the book they've been reading.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "When Victoria told Katie about a book club, Katie thought it was a great idea, especially as she would love to learn more about British classics.
"Victoria has asked five of her friends, including Jennifer Lopez and Katie, to become members."
Books that Victoria wants to talk about, include Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Emma' and 'Sense and Sensibility', as well as tomes by literary giants Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.
We hear that Posh is combing every Barnes & Noble in L.A. trying to find oversized copies of Pride and Prejudice that she can hide OK! and Hello! inside of. Because, really, isn't that what she means when she says "classic English literature"?
