Why Does She Do That???

Filed under: Anglophilia > Victoria Beckham > David Beckham

We were under the impression that Victoria Beckham was British. Right?

The averse-to-smiling Spice Girl has this tendency to cover her mouth whenever she chuckles, much like is customary of many Asian women.

We thought she was gonna smile for us!

Or maybe she's just drunk? And trying to prevent the puke from coming up. Ya, that's probably it!

Posh and Becks are really enjoying their time in Los Angeles. On Wednesday night, the pair went to one of TomKat's favorite restaurants, Mastro's in Beverly Hills.

T-flash says – reply to this

I read that she doesn't like her teeth. That's why she doesn't like to smile for the cameras or show them whilst laughing. . . . I think she's adorable smiling, though.

i didnt use to like her because she seems so serious, never smiling

but i saw that special and she seemed funny, happy, and likeable
Sparky says – reply to this

Have you ever seen her smile?? A long while back in the UK she was heavily criticised for her scary, manic smile. Her teeth are fine, she's just adopted the pout to avoid the tabloid headlines about hideous mailbox mouth. Covering her mouth with her hand is just one more way of hiding the evidence.
The Sus says – reply to this

41

Yup, she probably did have bad teeth. I mean… the English don't have the same benefits like we do such as fluoride in their water and such. At least, the last time I checked the didn't. It's probably just an old habit, and she's self conscience of it. Even though she is a tad bit skinny, I think she's very beautiful.

I love her! and I love you too Perez!
hillary says – reply to this

I have to say I like the Becks. Vikki needs to put some meat on those bones of hers though, she's scarey thin!!!! She seems fun though! I'd love to party with her.
Have to say though…why would LA pay so much damn money for a soccer player who probably doesn't have much time left in his career…I mean is he really worth that much money? I think thats a little over the top, but he lucked out!

It seems as if I had read something at one time about her being really ashamed at how her teeth look. You know she's got the money, so get them fixed girl! Don't hid that pretty face!
Brianna says – reply to this

47

She probably used to have bad teeth.
Before I had braces, I never dared to show my teeth smiling or laugh without covering my mouth.
It's usually just a habit developed out of insecurity.

First off, England is a country. Asia is a continent. All countries in Asia have different customs and traditions. To say "all Asians do this…" is not only ignorant, it's downright offensive. Secondly, in what country do all women cover their mouths when they laugh? You are simply perpetuating a stereotype about Asian women being subservient. We don't just giggle all the time. Don't get yourself in trouble with Asians. Ask Rosie O'Donnell; it's not fun. You owe us an apology. I love your site, but don't be a dumbass.

Why does everyone say Posh & Becks. It should be Beck & Posh. She would be no one without him. How many other Spice Girls have stayed in the spot light. None really. I think people give her more credit than him. He is the star!
Barbara says – reply to this

52

I had really bad teeth when I was young and still find myself smiling with my mouth closed because I don't want my teeth to show. It's isn't easy to give up habits of insecurity. Imagine all the hateful things she reads about herself to say nothing of the hateful things the paps are yelling at her every day.

What a stressfull life she must lead!! Always haveing to be "perfect", skinny, She has a major attitude that she must maintain for people to percieve her as "special".. that has GOT to be taking.
Kat says – reply to this

56

she just doesn't think she looks good when she smiles.. it is her own personal psychosis. She has spent her whole life obsessesed with her image and trying to cultivate a flawless ,mysterious pouty woman… Perez please save this woman and make her actually smile on camera… break her of her demons and free her to live like a human being… even if she really is an alien.she NEEDS help

um, it's customary that asian women cover their mouths when smiling? wow - that's news to me!

do tell, does that apply to all japanese women, chinese women, korean women, thai women, indian women, etc…?

oh and yeah, you can be asian and british too. england isn't just made up of white people you know.

Her teeth are short and funny looking, that's probably why. I bet she farted and that's why David has his window cracked

who the fuck says asian women cover their mouth when the chuckle… don't assume shit like that… don't perpetuate shit
Kat says – reply to this

63

i believe she is still very self conscious of her teeth, as many brits are (and should be). she DID spend tens of thousands on veneers. or perhaps she had been doing it for so long it just became a reflex when laughing.

covering your mouth when you chuckle is not "customary of Asian women."

That comment about asian women is the dumbest, most irresponsible thing for you to write. #1. It is not true. #2. Why stop there, why don't you write some similar stereotypes about gays???? Like how they all have aids? What do you think? Not cool and not true right? Well, the same with your comment about asian women.
Ass.
AEK says – reply to this

69

Your comment is just a further reminder of what an ignorant ass you are. Let me guess, next you will refer to "asians" as "orientals." Don't confuse customs and culture with sterotypes. Furthermore, moron, asia is a fucking continent.
anonymous asian says – reply to this

customary????

i cover my mouth when i laugh so food doesn't go all over the place….

if your going to be ignorant you might as well call us "orientals"…..other than that…i love your site..heheheh

Your comment is racist. Asia is not a only one country but a continent with different cultures and CUSTOMS…but how would you know…

people should really take a geography and history course before they speak…

my cousin was a big time fan when the spice girls first came out, she had thousands of spice girls stuff, inluding books and mags, she read in one of them an interview where Posh said SHE HATES HER SMILE!!! there thats why she does that and never smiles in public. go back to the spice archives if u dont believe me.

SHE HATES HER SMILE! SHE HATES HER SMILE! SHE HATES HER SMILE!

Are you kidding me?! Being a gay person who has probably seen discrimination against gays, you're going to make discriminating and stupid comments about another group?
Should I say that black guy from Grey's Anatomy is my hero?
perezisracist says – reply to this

90

Hey Anna– you can't expect everyone to "relax" about this, these comments mean more to some people than others. (i.e. Some blacks are offended by the N word, others are not) My mother never told me to cover my mouth and I know plenty of asian females who don't cover their mouths while laughing. Do you see Lucy Lu, etc., laugh with their hands over their mouths? I don't think so. You may be the exception. Don't expect everyone to relax just because it's true for you. Next thing you know, you'll be approving of calling asians "slanties" — it may be true for some asians, but not for others. I have round eyes.

I wonder if the Asian-mouth thing is just perpetuated by the emphasized "femininity and submission" stereotype Asian females have. Like you know, the "tee-hee" sorority girls….

She doesn't like her teeth! I can't believe you don't know this Perrez. Have you ever SEEN her teeth? They're all slanty and pointing inward…that's why she covers her mouth when she laughs.

Chatting With... Brooke Burke!

One of the funniest interviews we've ever done!

The Dancing With The Stars finale is upon us and we sat down with co-host Brooke Burke to talk about everything from the show to Donna Summer to... meth! Ha

We also talk about how she keeps her bangin' bikini body, how she keeps her marriage to hunkalicious hubby David Charvet hot and spicy, plus why her Wikipedia needs updating! Double ha!

Read some excerpts from our interview.... after the jump.

And watch our interview with Brooke in full (above)!

P.S. We will likely never be on Dancing With The Stars after this interview! Ha
