Languages?[edit]

I read somewhere that she claims she's fluent in four languages. If two of them are English and Dutch, what are the other two? --81.135.160.27 12:07, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One's Spanish; that's why she was originally chosen as Beckham's PA. Superm401 -

True, in this video she speaks posh European Spanish natively. --83.40.187.57 (talk) 11:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk 19:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC) "The programme was unsuccessful and short-lived..." This not true, the programme is still very succesfull, before and after Loos came on "...partly due to the strength of her English accent when speaking Dutch." True, one of the major reasons she was dropped from the show. She also appeared in the Dutch Playboy (december 2005) i guess the januari edition.[reply]

Dream Team[edit]

When she appeared in TV series dream team, she was neither bisexual or a masseuse. Her character's sexuality was not covered, and she played the part of a sports psychologist - presume some tabloid made this one up and it got passed on to this page? 86.11.80.36 15:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

"The incident was viewed by some commentators as an apt example of the depths to which Z-list celebrities would go for public exposure, and the lengths to which the producers of reality television would go to humiliate them in order to satisfy the interests of viewers (see also I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!)."

Sounds very POV if you ask me... Pennywisepeter 11:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that needs changing I think untill there is a source provided, people are bound to question the notibility of the comment. Raintheone (talk) 20:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject class rating[edit]

This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 03:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC) Bold text[reply]

Nationality[edit]

The article says she's Spanish, but her official website says her nationality is Dutch. Does she have double nationality? --Purplefire (talk) 11:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. Spain doesn't allow dual nationality, so she cant be, only residency..so it needs to be changed to being Dutch .. and she isn't of Spanish ancestry. Her mother is English ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.71.143 (talk) 04:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is also the Vienna Convention where any country allowing the principle of Ius Soli is excempt. Her father was in Spain in capacity of being a Diplomat. --85.164.221.69 (talk) 22:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity[edit]

Since when is 'anglo-dutch' an ethnicity? "Caucasian" or something seems appropriate.TheseusX (talk) 23:28, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rebecca Loos was born in Madrid to a Dutch/Swiss father and an English/Spanish mother. 2A00:23C8:9F93:FB01:8D7B:2588:2AE5:524 (talk) 03:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is nothing but a collection of tabloid-level material[edit]

This article is nothing but a collection of tabloid-level material, and it needs to be deleted as thoroughly unencylopedic and unimportant.
The Wikipedia needs a process of "taking out the trash" with unneeded "articles" like this one.
Why not articles about important people and things, such as professors of biochemistry or engineering at universities, rather than publicity-seeking airheads? 98.67.107.145 (talk) 15:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We are only on about Rebecca Loos. She even turned up at some gossip show. She recieved a SMS, but insisted it was to sordid to be mentioned on tv. What is the point of gossip shows, if we can't learn the content of an incoming SMS? What is the name of the TV channel that does things so halfway? It can't be ITV again?--85.164.221.69 (talk) 22:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Affair[edit]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think one 'has an affair', one does not 'conduct an affair'. I came to this page after watching Star Stories. Have a good day. 124.148.164.224 (talk) 15:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

David Beckham merge[edit]

"Acquired" notability from Beckham. Sure, she made some trashy TV appearances afterwards, but not everyone on those has an article. Karyn Devlin (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Although she has done many TV appearances, enough to warrant a page to herself I think. 2A02:C7D:C52C:E700:18F9:4B3C:EEAA:8CA6 (talk) 12:53, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also think she has sufficient media coverage to warrant her own article Uhooep (talk) 14:34, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This subject has sufficient media coverage etc to warrant a individual article. Speedy close.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:02, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
