David Beckham’s much publicized wife Victoria, has landed her first acting role in America. She is reported to take on an acting role on prime-time U.S. television, appearing as herself in an episode of the popular comedy “Ugly Betty.” An episode, shot and filmed on autumn will feature Beckham as a celebrity bridesmaid in an episode of the popular show based on life at a fashion magazine.

Labeled as “Posh” as a member of the reunited Spice Girls British pop group, Beckham arrived in Los Angeles in July in a media blitz as her husband began a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team worth $250 million.

But the Beckhams have struggled to establish themselves in the United States as the mega stars they were in Europe.

Victoria Beckham’s reality TV special chronicling her move to California and intended to showcase her humor and personality backfired amid mediocre ratings and damning reviews. David Beckham has been dogged by injuries that have kept him on the bench for much of his two months with the Galaxy.
