...seems like a sweet life. You spend your days at Harvard ensconced in a castle. You occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. You wear a funky little hat. And when you graduate, you get a posh job as a comedy writer. Welcome to the life of a 'Poonster...
...dirty secret Bride's Magazine never tells you: Don't forget to frisk the guests on the way out. The tip could have saved newly married Posh Spice, VICTORIA ADAMS, and soccer star DAVID BECKHAM thousands of dollars. Despite the 125 security men at their July wedding, some overly acquisitive celebrators went home with more than rice in their pockets. In an interview with a British paper last week, Posh says 75 rented silver goblets disappeared after the nuptials.

There's the zealous way she plays hostess: soon after moving to Washington in 1994, she began holding frequent fund raisers at her posh Georgetown apartment, causing some to dub her a Pamela Harriman wannabe. There's the palatial home hopping: in 1996 she and her husband bought Senator John Warner's former home for more than $2 million, then sold it before moving in so they could snag Michael and Arianna Huffington's digs...
