Victoria Beckham has apparently admitted that her solo singing career was a mistake, albeit one from which she is happy to learn.
The former Spice Girl said that she was "lost" when she teamed up with Truesteppers and Dane Bowers to launch 'Out Of Your Mind' in 2000 following the group's split.
The 35-year-old told Harper's Bazaar: "People never believed the solo singing career, and it wasn't the real me - I was a little bit lost at the time. I don't mind making mistakes."
The mother-of-three has since launched her own clothing collection and said that fashion is her true calling. "I was always pushed into the theatre and dance - it's just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do," she said.
Former singer Victoria Beckham is reportedly devastated after learning she won't be gracing the cover of U.S. fashion bible Vogue - because she has already posed for the publication's main competitor.
The former Spice Girl is keen to make her mark on the fashion industry, and is proving a hit following the release of her first clothes line - even managing to persuade supermodel Elle Macpherson to don her expensive dresses.
The star is still seeking the approval of the heavyweights at American Vogue, and has been on a strict diet while sticking to haute couture fashion in a bid to impress magazine bosses and land the chance of appearing on the cover, according to a new U.K. report.
But Beckham has reportedly been snubbed by magazine editor Anna Wintour - because she has appeared on rival fashion publication Elle's cover. A source tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "Victoria hoped to land the Vogue cover but it fell through weeks ago. She posed for Elle instead and now Vogue won't consider her for at least four months."
The style icon has already appeared on the cover of British and Russian Vogue.
Starving for food, hungry for love and desperate for fame, the heavyweights of the Kiwi gossip trade have gone all Hollywood.
New Zealand's tabloid magazines have opted for celebrity fodder from further afield this week with an emaciated Victoria Beckham, eternal singleton Jennifer Aniston and irritating earth mother Angelina Jolie taking centre stage.
Woman's Day posts a skeletal Beckham cloaked in a purple sheath on its front cover. Praying mantis-like Posh has apparently shocked onlookers - yet again - with her frighteningly thin frame.
But don't worry, Beckham reveals she doesn't really have a eating disorder.
"I was never anorexic, I was never bulimic, but I was probably very close to it.
"I could tell you the fat content and calorie content of absolutely anything. I was obsessed. I began living on vegetables and nothing else. I used to chop up bowls of spinach and carrots and steam them or I'd just eat peas."
Phew, as long as you're eating peas you must be doing okay.
Elsewhere, the picture editor at New Idea must have shrieked with glee when she first spied this week's cover shot: Everyone's favourite girl next door, Jennifer Aniston, is spotted crying in public.
Luckily NI is here to tell us what prompted the outburst. Evidently Aniston has now reached "the lowest point in her personal life" and is struggling after being left on the shelf by legions of leading men.
"I'm not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room. If I'm the emblem for 'This is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life'', so be it", Aniston said.
The mag reveals that in 2005 Aniston said: "There's an amazing man wandering the streets right now who's the father of my children. In five years time, I'd hope to be married and have a kid."
NI brings her crashing back to earth. "Sadly, four years on, the dream is still eluding her", the magazine intones.
The mag sounds like a grandmother in a bad mood.
Over at Woman's Weekly Aniston's famous foe Angelina Jolie is "starved for love". She's probably just starving for some carbohydrates.
This perpetual hunger has allegedly been kick-started by her man hunk Brad Pitt's waning love for her.
Pitt told reporters that "children ... wasn't really what I was seeking" and his life with Jolie had its "aggravations and irritations".

And this week's local cringe inducing story has to go to NI's exclusive "shock confession" from TVNZ broadcaster Paul Henry.
Henry confesses his "love" for former adversary, ex-Prime Minister Helen Clark, and shares the romantic details of the day he and Clark spent together in the Big Apple.
The pair went to the Statue of Liberty, wore matching foam hats, shared burgers at a diner and went to an off-Broadway play before devouring a pizza over a "few bottles" of red wine, Henry told NI.
"She bought me a ticket to the play and we had most extraordinary conversations during the intermission, and then over pizza afterwards. It was a wonderful night"
Um does Clark's hubby Peter know about this?
Finally, the quote of the week comes from former Spice Girl turned aerobics instructor Mel B.
The mother of two began slimming down for the US Dancing with the Stars show which somehow led to her releasing a range of exercise videos.
But Mel B says her "amazing shape" is due to another kind of workout - having sex with her husband Stephen Belafonte five times a day.
"I'm a nymphomaniac. It's all-over body conditioning, after all."
There is such a thing as TMI, Mel.
In what may come as a shock to Victoria Beckham, a group of girls in Milan have run a 20,000 pound bet to see who is the first one to seduce football heartthrob David Beckham.
Beckham, who is in the city playing for AC Milan, was recently in news for being the centre of attraction at a high profile charity event where he was surrounded by Italian socialites.
Meanwhile Beckham's wife Victoria is busy bringing up the couple's three young sons in Los Angeles.
Beckham is not aware of the bet, Daily Mail online reported quoting Grazia magazine.
"There is a group of about 20 girls who hang around the Milan nightclubs and bars where the Italian players go to relax. They have decided that the top prize is now David Beckham," a source told the magazine.
Victoria Beckham has sparked rumours of having had another boob job after her twin assets seemed to have been given a boost in recent ads.
The former Spice Girl had followed in the steps of her hubby-soccer ace David Beckham by stripping for a series of saucy Giorgio Armani underwear ads.
The fashion icon was said to have worked hard on her body for 6 months to get the preferred look in the ad campaign. And since the publication of the advert, Victoria has come under the scanner for her varying chest sizes over the years, reports News of the World.
Victoria, in 1999, had publicly denied that she shelled out 10,000 pounds to have her assets enhanced, saying: "I'm totally natural, except my nails and fake tan. I haven't had a boob job."
But according to High Court papers revealed in 2005, the designer had confessed having gone under the knife. And now, while the mum-of three was speculated to have had the surgery, her rep laughed off the suggestion.
Victoria Beckham is furious with husband David for getting another tattoo.
The former Spice Girl had apparently told the soccer superstar to stop adding body art to his already heavily-inked frame, but he couldn't resist squeezing another onto his left arm.
A source said: "Victoria doesn't think David should have anymore tattoos and tried to stop him having another. She likes them but wants a bit of his skin to be left, but David went ahead with it anyway."
The tattoo - which was created by his regular artist Louis Malloy - is a biblical proverb written in Hebrew which reads: "My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart."
He has Victoria's name in Hindi, the number seven - his shirt number for Manchester United and England - in Roman numerals, a guardian angel across his back and a Michelangelo angel on his right arm
It accompanies another Hebrew phrase on the same arm which translates: "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine". Victoria has the same tattoo.
David, 33, is known for his obsession with tattoos and his upper body is covered in etchings.
He has Victoria's name in Hindi, the number seven - his shirt number for Manchester United and England - in Roman numerals, a guardian angel across his back and a Michelangelo angel on his right arm.
Victoria, 34, is said to be worried her husband is addicted and won't be able to stop adding tattoos to his already impressive collection.The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "She is worried he is hooked and she doesn't know where it will all end. He is a very healthy guy. He doesn't smoke, barely drinks and looks after his body very carefully. But his outside is far from clean."
Victoria Beckham arrives at the London hotel Claridges after launching her clothes range at Selfridges.
“I was so nervous that I for days before I drank loads and loads of water. God, I’m such a square,” Victoria said of her launching her clothing line.
“I was never that good a singer,” she told the Times Online, “but I think I am good at fashion. Even when I was at school, where I was bullied–sometimes physically, sometimes verbally–I was always customizing my uniform.
