In this chapter, we talk about unsupportive bras. "Is this news?" is the question we often see in the comments on celebrity gossip and pop culture articles. And, obviously, these aren't headline-grabbing stories, but they are topics we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at a bar, not only to keep up with the latest gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship, or breakups.

As far as public opinion is concerned, the marriage of Victoria and David Beckham has had two very distinct phases throughout their life together. Initially, they were icons for the people. chav and later became reference figures for the mainstream and even for people posh girlsSince reaching this second stage of popularity, not without having invested considerable communication effort in the change, their public trajectory settled into a kind of oasis where their acceptance and ability to draw a crowd continued to increase quantitatively while also becoming increasingly cross-cutting. They were friends of the British royal family, they had a large extended family that presented them as people Focused and with traditional values, she became a successful businesswoman in the demanding world of fashion, and he triumphed in several ventures beyond chasing a ball and posing nude in underwear ads. It seemed paradise had arrived at the Beckham home to stay.

If anything has always characterized Victoria Beckham, it's been her perfectionism. She's the UK's pop star. Always with a polished figure, always prepared for any media question, with the perfect outfit to be the best dressed at every event, astute and opportune on social media, the creator of fashion collections that are hard to find a "but," and also always the driving force behind a family that seemed designed to please the entire world. But this extraordinary brand positioning has cracked, and what's more, it's done so in the most painful way. The public image of the former Spice Girl presents an escape route that neither she nor her husband—also the owner of an impeccable public profile—can stop in any way.

"And this is news?" is the question we often see in the comments on news stories about tabloids and pop culture. And, obviously, these aren't news stories that make the front pages of newspapers, but they are issues we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar. And this is what we do in this podcast: we go to a local to review some news from the social chronicle that serves not only to keep up with the most important gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship, and breakups.

David Beckham turned 50 last Friday and celebrated it with all his heart. What do you want this weekend?

Absent from the celebration was David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, 26. The young man, who has tried his hand at being a photographer and cook, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, did not appear at the celebration, of which many photos have emerged in which the rest of the Beckham family are seen in a festive mood.
