LOS ANGELES - Victoria Beckham, who with British soccer star husband
David Beckham makes a much anticipated move to Los Angeles this week,
scoffed on Monday at suggestions she wanted to launch a Hollywood movie
career.

"I must be the only person in Los Angeles who doesn't want to be in
films," Beckham joked.
"I don't think I am that good at acting actually," the former "Posh
Spice" member of the 1990s band "The Spice Girls" told reporters in a
telephone conference.
The family's move to the United States will be chronicled in a reality
TV-style documentary "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" to be
broadcast on NBC on July 16.
She said her jeans, sunglasses and perfume business was her real passion,
along with her husband and sons Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 4 and Cruz, 2-1/2
years old.
"I am really concentrating on my fashion line. That's my passion. I had a
lot of fun doing the documentary but I wouldn't say I'm going to be the
next TV star," she said.
The hour-long documentary was filmed in recent weeks as the Beckhams
organized their move from Spain, where David played for Real Madrid, to
their $22 million Beverly Hills mansion.
Victoria, 33, also denied suggestions that the reformed "Spice Girls",
whose world tour kicks off in Los Angeles in December, heralded a
relaunch of her own singing career.
"We (Spice Girls) are not starting out again. We are not making a new
album. We are celebrating the past. I want my kids to see mommy up on
stage doing what I used to do.
"I am excited about the tour but I am certainly not using this as a
springboard to launch any form of solo career," she said.
David Beckham's arrival in Los Angeles to begin a five year, $250 million
contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy team is hotly anticipated both by
U.S. sports and celebrity writers, although the Beckhams are much better
known in Europe than in the United States.
Victoria said she thought the expected interest from Hollywood's
paparazzi photographers would soon die down.
"They are probably going to realize that we are actually quite boring and
that we don't do that much. We stay in a lot as a family and there are so
many famous people in Los Angeles who are much more famous than myself
and David," she said.
