Victoria Beckham sues for $100 mil over jeans
It's been far too long since we've had anything on Victoria Beckham, so it's with a hearty sigh we report that Posh has sued the company who made her poor-selling brand of jeans for $100 million.
The Daily Mail says Vicki is unhappy with Rock & Republic, saying they owe her that much for "loss of earnings" after she split with the company in 2004 following an alleged battle with owner Michael Ball. Beckham Brand Ltd. sued the company last month.
Beckham is apparently seeking compensation because she thinks the jeans were worth more than the $400 a pair they were being sold for. Does this have anything to do with the fact that her latest clothing foray, her dVb denimwear line, is about as big a seller as bags of ice at the North Pole?
"She's not supporting the line," said Fraser Ross, owner of chic L.A. boutique Kitson. "It's not good for her brand and not good for her endorsements." Seriously, she's trying to brand the Beckham name. Would it hurt to hit a couple shopping malls?

$400 Dollars for a pair of her overpriced jeans? Even her silicon implants aren't worth that!

Yeah give me a pair of $50 Dollar Levi's every time! Only idiots would pay $400 to line the pockets of the greedy Beckhams!

She thinks her jeans are worth more then $400. thats a pretty good reason for not selling. levis are the best and they dont even cost $50. I think her clothing line needs to add bra's cause she's got a mini posh that's about to jump for freedom in the picture.
