Former Spice Girl turned designer Victoria Beckham has joined the campaign to convince fashion houses to avoid hiring underweight models to walk the runways.

Beckham, who launched her first couture clothing collection in 2008, made the announcement during her appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday (Feb. 17).

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) is leading the drive to convince the industry to be more responsible when dealing with young, vulnerable models, she said.

Right now, most sample dresses shipped by designers for photo shoots and fashion shows are size “zero.” Groups are calling on the industry to raise sample dresses to a size “four.”

“The CFDA has reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware. And I think designers are listening,” Beckham said.

“I had a casting last week and had some terribly thin girls come in, and it wouldn’t have worked. The campaign the CFDA has launched is called ‘Health is Beauty’ and they are definitely encouraging designers to work with healthier sized models,” she said.

Victoria Beckham is rarely snapped without her super-high heels and oversize shades, but, the star reveals, her “Posh” persona is hardly an accurate portrayal of her. “I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself,” Victoria tells Glamour in their March issue. “When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention. I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.”

In fact, Victoria even cops to suffering for her love of fashion, just like the rest of us. Of her signature stilettos, the 35 year-old admits, “Absolutely they hurt. I’m not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don’t mind. I will suffer. I don’t wear heels every day, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.”

Following the success of her star-loved line of dresses, Victoria is getting back into the denim game with the spring relaunch of her jeans collection. “I’m such a perfectionist,” she explains of taking a few seasons off from denim design. “I’ve worked really hard [with my team] to get it right.” And this time around, it was all about the silhouette: “Long, slim legs. Really good design. I’m not saying that you’ve got to be a stick to wear them. You can be all different shapes and sizes.” Pick up Glamour’s March issue, on newsstands February 9, or visit Glamour.com to hear more from Victoria.

What would Posh Spice say?

A female Italian reporter wearing yellow gloves attempted to molest David Beckham’s genitals in a shocking publicity stunt on Wednesday. Elena Di Cioccio of Italian TV show Le lene (“The Hyenas), ambushed the soccer star, 34, outside a restaurant in Milan, Italy as photographs and video at the Daily Mail attest.

“We have seen fascinating photographs of David Beckham in his underpants,” Di Cioccio told her viewers, referencing his famous underwear ads for Armani. The reporter says that Beckham was “seemingly very well endowed and even his wife says that he is well equipped…we wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the pictures suggest or if they were touched up.”

As Beckham gave an interview to other reporters outside, Di Cioccio snuck past the camera crew and, rushing Beckham, attempted to grab his privates. The star gave the reporter a stone-faced look before his security detail hustled him back to a hotel and Di Cioccio was dragged away.

“David you have conned us all!” the reporter shouted. “It’s all a trick”‘

A spokesman for AC Milan told the Daily Mail:’We are aware of the incident and we have spoken to David about it but we have no comment to make.”

Victoria Beckham may have a glam image, but she says she carpools just like any other mom.

“I drop the kids kids off, go to the gym, come back from the gym and do some work,” the designer, 34, tells Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show.

She says her three sons — Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 7, and Cruz, 4 — are “so different.

“I mean, you’ve got Brooklyn, who is a real boy. He’s turning into a teenager. It takes him quite some time to do his hair in the morning before he goes to school,” she says. “Then we got Romeo, who loves fashion. He likes to go out in a suit with a bowler hat… and he’s a real fashion lover.

“And then Cruz just wants to break dance every opportunity he gets,” adds Victoria of her youngest, who famously danced on stage during his mom’s Spice Girl show in New York City in February 2008.

Dad David is in Milan playing soccer until after this summer’s World Cup, but calls in to help his kids with homework.

“The other day, I said, ‘I’m really struggling with work here, I’ve got so much going on at the house.’ I sat down Brooklyn in front of the computer, and they Skyped for 20 minutes while he did his reading,” she tells Seacrest.

Victoria says she speaks to her husband “10, 15 times a day” and tries to travel to Milan to see him, “but my priority obviously are the kids because they’re so little. This is our home and this is where we’re going to stay.”

She also hits the treadmill every day.

“I run so quick after a double espresso, my trainers are on fire! They have sparks!” she says.

Seacrest — who worked with her for last week’s premiere of American Idol — says Victoria eats “perfectly… [she says], ‘I’m getting the steamed this, the steamed that.’”
