Rep Power: 6  | Beckham awarded damages for libel
Quote: 
Beckham has filmed scenes of her show at the Dodgers Baseball Stadium
Victoria Beckham has been awarded undisclosed damages by London's High Court over magazine claims that she was "picky, demanding and rude".
The allegations against the former Spice Girl published in Star magazine were "untrue and unfounded", her solicitor told the court.
It was claimed an insider from a US TV crew alleged that Ms Beckham was "full of herself and not very nice".
The Beckhams have been making a US TV show about their Stateside relocation.
Apologised
Ms Beckham's lawyer, Gerrard Tyrrell, said that filming on the programme had not yet commenced when the allegations were published, which meant they could not have been made.
He added that the magazine did not contact Ms Beckham before proceeding with publication.
The article went on to claim that Ms Beckham's show was designed to make her popular in the US, but "she waltzes round with her icy attitude".
"The crew get a big laugh out of how she seems to think she's 'all that' and then some doorman or waiter has no clue who she is," the magazine added.
"The story was completely inaccurate and defamatory of Ms Beckham," Mr Tyrrell told the court.
Star magazine's publishers Northern and Shell apologised for the stress and embarrassment caused, retracted the story and agreed to pay damages and legal costs.
