Soccer star David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria, are taking legal action against a newspaper that claimed their “happy marriage” is a sham.

The pair is seeking libel damages against the News of the World newspaper over an article which carried the headline: “Posh and Becks on the Rocks.”

The case will be heard before a judge and jury at London’s Law Courts in December.

The Beckham?s argued that they were defamed by the newspaper which portrayed them as being unhappy for financial reasons.

Richard Spearman, from News Group Newspapers (the publishers of the News of the World), said the defense would argue that that suggestion in the newspaper was true and would also question the state of the celebrity marriage.

The trial is to start on Dec. 5.

It is not the first time that David Beckham has tried to sue the British media tabloids.

In August, Beckham accepted damages from tabloid The People for an article that falsely accused him of making hate calls to a former nanny.

So What?

Note to the Beckham family: you?re celebrities?what do you expect?!

You need to stop bitching about some tabloids that are writing about you when there are a million other stories just like yours.
