Continuing her new policy of dressing like some after-hours Second Life avatar whatever the occasion, Victoria Beckham throws out the first pitch at the Dodgers-Mets game.
Having been convinced by a mysterious voice that she should indulge in the whimsical project of building a new life in Los Angeles, Victoria now becomes the second most self-regarding person ever to attempt to benefit by association with baseball. (No one's knocking Costner off that top spot.)
Despite her studied indifference to how the USA will receive her - "I hope [the Americans] like me," she told reporters, "but if they don't, I'm not going to lose any sleep about it" - something in that high-heeled trainered determination tells us she won't rest till she's singing the Star Spangled Banner acapella at the Superbowl.
