Money Can't Buy You...

Of course I would find it absolutely hilarious that British Lotto winner, Michael Carroll, revels in irritating his neighbors with his behavior and maintaining his class pretensions, despite his serenditous wealth. The New York Times reports that he is called the "King of the Chavs."

Chav behavior - outrageous spending sprees, drunken brawls, inappropriate public displays of affection, screaming matches with loved ones in bars, destruction of property, late-night stumbling and/or vomiting - provide celebrity magazines here with much of their material. Among British women, Coleen McLoughlin, the girlfriend of the soccer star Wayne Rooney, is seen as a celebrity chav.
