The Beckhams appear in a raunchy photo shoot in a US magazine With the former England captain about to embark on a new career in US soccer for LA Galaxy and his pop star wife about to hit US TV screens, Brand Beckham is about to go into overdrive. Like them or loathe them, footballer David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria have become a celebrity tag-team of glamour, wealth and fame. From the moment the pair announced their engagement in 1998 the couple's lives have been splashed across every tabloid, magazine - and even the occasional broadsheet.
It would have been hard to miss some of the coverage their tattoos, baby names, weight problems, matching outfits and hairstyles have generated over the last 10 years. But now it is time for Britain's most famous celebrity couple to pack up Beckingham Palace and move Brand Beckham to Tinsel Town. To make sure their relocation is welcomed by a blaze of publicity, Posh and Becks have blitzed the US press with a whistle-stop tour, as well as doing their most saucy photo shoot yet.
In a nine-page spread in the August edition of W Magazine, the couple are seen posing in underwear, kissing and striking provocative poses. The magazine says the pair are "determined to become the new American idols". Victoria, who recently announced she would be touring with the Spice Girls, has even opened up for the first time about her husband's alleged affair in 2004.
