VICTORIA BECKHAM - BECKHAM IN JEANS LAWSUIT?

VICTORIA BECKHAM is set to launch legal action against fashion label Rock + Republic over loss of earnings, according to reports.
The former Spice Girl signed a deal with the company in 2004 to make her dVb brand jeans, but split from the firm two years later (06) amid reports of a fall out with owner Michael Ball.
Now Beckham is believed to be filing a lawsuit against Rock + Republic, claiming it owes her up to $100 million (GBP50 million) in lost earnings, reports British newspaper The Mail On Sunday.
A High Court listing obtained by the paper shows Beckham Brand Ltd, a company established by the singer and her soccer ace husband David, filed a claim against Rock + Republic last month (Apr08).
There are no further details as a claim form has not yet been served on Rock + Republic. However Beckham is reported by the Mail On Sunday to be seeking compensation for lost earnings as the denim range was not as profitable as she was led to believe.
It's not the first time the dVb range has attracted controversy - last month (Apr08), the owner of Los Angeles boutique Kitson slammed Beckham for failing to promote her denim brand at the store.
