Tbf Brooklyn maybe loves all the attention but i think that attention should come from teen girls his instagram has a zilliion folowers or something 17yr old dd follows him girls should be interested not journos writing sleazy articles in glossy womens magazines.

I think the parents are to blame as all they can see is kerching!
I feel so sorry for their kids, who seem like part of the business brand plan Sad

it happens all the fucking time with young girls. What are you on about? Young girls are totally TOTALLY objectified in the media.

This BB article is icky and ewww, trying to appeal to teenage girls, but dont pretend that articles about teenage girls inspire much outrage or uproar because they just dont.

I haven't seen any articles like that about 16 year old female offspring of slebs with references to 'legal'. Unless I am reading the wrong things.

foragogo I just Googled her and there are some photos accompanying an article in the DM in 2010, in which she looked early to mid thirties, so I would guess she's around 37/38ish now.

MrsJayy Romeo was the one who did a Burberry campaign.

The Tatler article is appalling, both in style and content. If his parents approved it, then I would be very surprised. Why the need to include the Chloe Grace Moretz quote? Come to think of it, why the need for the article at all? It's just vile.

SparklingBrook Chris Moyles said that he wanted to "lead Charlotte Church through the forest of sexuality now that she had reached 16". It also happened to the Olsen twins, Emma Watson. Pretty much every woman who has been in the media spotlight from childhood. A few months ago the DM showed photos of some 13 (I think, definitely 12-14) actress at a film premiere 'showing off her womanly curves'.

'Barely legal' status, disgustingly, gets our newspapers very excited.

bleurgh imagine being in your late thirties and finding it "diverting" that a boy had just turned 16? if it was just written for effect its even more horrible.

Just go onto the Daily Mail website and do a search for the term "all grown up".

That kind of attention must be overwhelming for a teenager to deal with. That article was gross and inappropriate, it wouldn't be appropriate for an older man to make those comments about a 16 year old girl so it shouldn't be accepted the other way around.

I find the whole Beckham kids thing quite uncomfortable. It would have been perfectly possible to keep them out of the limelight to allow them some anonymity and to have a semblance of a normal life and they haven't. Brooklyn should be doing his A levels and hanging out wherever he wants with his mates without any paparazzi following him, not this circus which is building up around him and which is clearly engineered by his parents and their management

Brookyln loves the attention and I am afraid he is turning into the Smith children, the most cringe worthy siblings ever. When I was younger (I am 26) I don't remember celebrities children being this popular? surely this is a new thing.

I struggled to get through all the vomitous crap at the beginning:
these creatures that float out of the mist. That float almost out of nowhere. And yet not out of nowhere. Never out of nowhere. Heaven forfend.

FFS!? Is she high? Hmm But then this:

He's 16. So he's suddenly legal. Which means there are options that three months ago there would not have been. So that's diverting. Hot. Ready. Legal.

This IS disgusting. The fact that it happens to girls too shouldn't mean we cant express our revulsion here and now. This sort of shit should be called out every time.

What's the name of the silly cow who wrote this? I cant see it on the link.

I think it's disgusting how the Beckhams tout their children around the place and they'll be the first to complain about invastion of privacy but you can't have it both ways. It's no different to Katie Price and Kerry K and their broods plastered over every publication going. I honestly thought the Beckhams were going to be far more sensible about it all. Unfortunately not.

Some celebs manage quite successfully to keep their kids out the limelight - I don't particularly like the woman but Kate Moss springs to mind with her DD. For years, her face was pixellated if ever the paparazzi caught them together and there are very few pictures around of her.

I agree. And while not in the same league, I don't think I've ever seen a pic of Davina McCalls DC.

I agree. Unfair to decide that your child's image will be public property from birth. It should be a personal choice.

Even though he's a total muppet I never saw one single photo of Bono's kids in the press until they turned 18. Not one.

*TheHipho", Kate Moss gets a lot of schtick but I quite like her - never complains, never explains, appears to not give a shit what anyone thinks of her, and has raised her daughter while keeping her out of the spotlight.

I agree, there is absolutely no need whatsoever for those children's faces to be known. Who would recognise David Cameron's children? Or Kate Winslet's? Or Gary Barlow's? Or any number of other celebs kids. Completely possible to keep them low profile.
