A funny candid photo has surfaced from a pre-Oscars event last week that seems to show an interesting run-in between two celebs. One, a venerated and hugely talented Hollywood Icon of the highest stature … and Victoria Beckham. It’s unclear what may have caused the … incident … but this photo seems to show that Shirley MacLaine isn’t all that impressed by the likes of Vicki B. … so she decided to give her the stink eye:

If looks could kill, as they saying goes, then it’s fair to say oblivious Victoria Beckham wouldn’t have fared well in this exchange. Doyenne of the silver screen Shirley MacLaine looks down her nose as Posh waltzes out of a pre-Oscars party to her car. The celebrity showdown was captured last week outside Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills – although it’s not known what events led up to it. One thing is for sure, MacLaine – the Hollywood veteran – doesn’t look like she would have offered Mrs Beckham a Term Of Endearment. La Becks was heading with son Brooklyn for the car, but doesn’t appear to have stopped for a polite chat with Warren Beatty’s elder sister. Perhaps she didn’t recognise the 75-year-old who had made 28 films before she was even born. Well, she is new in town. The singer turned WAG turned successful fashion designer could possibly to do with brushing-up on who’s who in Hollywood.

Hahahahaha … you know, it’s totally possible that Shirley wasn’t even really giving VB any sort of sideways glance at all and the photo was just snapped at an inopportune time. It’s also entirely possible that MacLaine had no idea whatsoever who the frightfully skinny lady in the ratty fur-like coat was and had no intention of even deigning to look at her at all. Whatever the case may be, I suspect this speculation is much ado about nothing … but it’s still humorous nonetheless ;)
