Victoria Beckham—Park in Beverly Hills

Brandy: “I like this set of Victoria Beckham and her son. It was exclusive, and all the shots are really nice. She’s standing on her yellow toothpick legs, she’s so skinny. They’re a great-looking family. The way they are together really didn’t look forced to me. It looks like the kids are really used to hanging out with their mom, even if she is wearing huge platform heels. You know, Dad is off in Asia playing whatever sport it is that he plays, and she’s out being a Mom. She’s out pretty often with her kids for a celebrity parent.”

Regis: “These shots are for the British market. The U.S. still doesn’t know who she is. A lot of British people have a hard time being famous in America, but that’s part of why she's happy here. She loves it for her kids, she loves the shopping, she loves the lifestyle, and she loves that people leave her alone. We have hidden cameras, so we know that she is a real mother who takes care of her kids, and that she behaves exactly the same way inside her house! You see real mothers, and you see the ones who just fake it for the camera. Anna Nicole Smith, I photographed her a couple of times with that poor kid. That was a little bit sad. Demi Moore was quite a good mother at one time in her life, until that got a bit boring for her."
