Beckhams threaten look-alikes with legal action

A COUPLE who got a sports car, jewellery and a table at a top restaurant by posing as the Beckhams, have provoked legal action from their targets.
David and Victoria Beckham say their reputation has been damaged by the "blagging" spree embarked on by Andy Harmer and Camilla Shadbolt, two professional lookalikes.
Lawyers for the couple threatened to sue the producers of a film on the lookalikes, due to be shown in Britain on Thursday.
The ring-ins have enjoyed a decade as the "rent-a-Becks", copying the couple's hairstyles and tattoos.
When David Beckham signed a $309 million deal to join the LA Galaxy soccer club, the lookalikes decided to test the couple's cultural impact. They found the Beckham brand is hot property in Hollywood.
To the dismay of the real Beckhams, the doppelgangers ran riot: they persuaded a Lamborghini garage to let them test-drive a $720,000 sports car, they left exclusive boutique H.Lorenzo with a $21,000 string of black pearls after assistants told them they could have "whatever they want" free (one assistant even revealed she had served Victoria Beckham two weeks before, and they were ushered into the VIP area of a nightclub favoured by Paris Hilton).
But the couple's luck ran out when they tried to drop in on a restaurant popular with Hollywood stars.
In the film, the couple arrive at The Ivy in a stretch Humvee, surrounded by paparazzi.
Waiters clear a space for the "Beckham party", which incorporates a fake feng shui expert and an acting coach.
Minutes later they are turfed out after the manager, who has greeted the real thing, spots they are fakes and threatens to call the police.
The producers of The Beckhams Go To Hollywood say the documentary is a harmless look at the couple's celebrity status. But the real-life megastars are unhappy about the freeloading couple, and are worried the pair could damage their reputation, reports contactmusic.com.
But 19 Management, which looks after the Beckhams, is concerned that the image of "celebrity freeloaders" could damage the couple.
A spokesman for Sky One said: "We have received a legal warning on behalf of the Beckhams. But we intend to screen the programme as planned without further editing."

Do You Know?
A number of readers objected to the 10 Spot's point on Tuesday that David Beckham had nothing to do with Bend It Like Beckham, pointing to the final scene in the airport when Becks and wife Posh stroll through the terminal. That wasn't actually Becks, but a lookalike named Andy Harmer. The Beckham double makes an estimated $92,600 a year by, well, looking a lot like Beckham. He even used to date a Posh lookalike named Camilla Shadbolt, who, believe it or not, wasn't the pseudo-Posh in the film. (That was Gill Penny. Evidently it's a cottage industry.) Had Becks known that his namesake movie would have been such a hit, perhaps he would have done his own cameo, if only to meet Keira Knightley.

The problem many people have is finding the lookalike stars among the thousands of non-performing look-a-bit-alike amateurs that inhabit the lookalike agents books. The independent non-profit organisation Lookalikes-Unite extends membership to only the cream of the lookalike and tribute act industry world wide.
