Success rating Stateside: Looks like they'll go down a storm!

The USA won't know what's hit it. The Beckhams are about to blow into town. As Victoria Beckham, a member of one the world's most famous girl bands of all time, turned fashion guru. And David, one of the greatest footballers sorry, soccer stars ever try their hand at cracking America!

David has signed a multi-million dollar deal with LA Galaxy in an attempt to elevate the status of 'soccer' in the US, while Victoria has been filming a fly-on-the wall documentary following their move to Beverly Hills. Glamorous photo shoots, new A-list celebrity pals (such as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) and several red carpet appearances. All the signs suggest that they are going to be a huge hit.

The Beckhams are by no means the first Brits to chase the American dream, see how these other British stars have faired over in the "States".
