Victoria Caroline Beckham (born as Adams, April 17th 1974-) is a British singer, originally in the girl band the Spice Girls, where she was known as Posh Spice.
She was born in the county of Herefordshire as Victoria Adams. Her parents are Anthony William Adams and Jacqueline Doreen Cannon. She has a younger sister Louise (November 21st 1976) and a younger brother Christian (August 8th 1979). Louise has three children, daughter Liberty (May 24th 1998) by Stephen Lawrence and daughter Tallulah-May (April 4th 2002) and son Finley (September 23th 2004) by her husband Haydn Isted whom she married May 9th 2002. Christian's long-time girlfriend Lucy Lee is due to give birth to their first child in March/April 2005.
Prior to joining the Spice Girls Adams had tried with a number of music acts to attempt to secure Celebrity without success. Sometime later her audition tapes for the Spice Girls came into the public domain in which it was clear that her singing is tone deaf.
Adams married the ex-Manchester United and present England footballer David Beckham, on July 4, 1999, with whom she has two sons, Brooklyn, born March 4, 1999, and Romeo, born September 1, 2002. The couple is expecting a third child in March 2005.
Following the birth of her first child Victoria's weight loss became a topic of much discussion. She agreed to appear in adverts for a potato crisp brand but there were claims that she would not actually eat the crisps.
An alleged plot to kidnap Victoria on November 1, 2002, was revealed by the News of the World. The court case against the alleged kidnappers collapsed after the original informant admitted that he "made the whole thing up".
Her attempts at a music career have been mixed, despite being one of the biggest celebrities in Britain, she has failed to convert that into chart success. She is the only Spice Girl not to have had a UK number one as a solo artist. She fought unsuccessful chart battles for the top spot with Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor in 2000 and Kylie Minogue in 2001. Her debut album made number 10 in the UK. In support of the 'Not Such an Innocent Girl' single she appeared at a charity concert in Hyde Park sporting a fake lip piercing that attracted much ridicule.
In 2003 she became involved with controversial Rap music producer Damon Dash to reignite her career. A first single was released in January 2004 (the month in which it is possibke to secure a UK number 1 with the lowest sales) but only made three in the charts. As a result the album was shelved. Beckham also became a model for Roc-A-Wear clothing along with Naomi Campbell.
In 2004 her happy marraige image suffered when a string of women lined up to claim having had affairs with David, including Rebecca Loos, which were not fully denied, but she has been seen to Stand by Her Man. Loos also claims that Victoria has had several breast enhancements.
The Mirror reports October 20th, 2004 on Victoria's new fashion lines and how she is scared of another failed music project. Also in the article is a quote from Victoria's spokesman about the new career focus: "This is the start of a new phase in Victoria's career, combining two things she loves - business and fashion. She's going to be more behind the scenes, but she is very excited." She recently designed jeans for Roc & Republic clothing. She may return to the music scene next year, after giving birth to her third baby.
