Josh vs. Posh

One is a Texan who grows bad facial hair and throws a curve ball that defies science. The other is a British diva who has a new hairdo every week and is a Scientologist (note: she's not as good as Beckett at tossing the ball around). Both are icons whose every word and action is documented by an unforgiving press corps. Without further ado, the comparative breakdown of Josh Beckett and "Posh" Beckham.

Any likenesses between Josh and Posh that we missed? Feel free to leave a comment.

Note (7/19): (Thanks to Amanda)- "Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, are just two of the Beckhams' new Hollywood friends. They've also become close with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, though David insists that his family will not be Scientology's next celebrity converts. "Tom has never even talked to us about it, much less tried to push it on us," he says."
