Aug. 19 2008, Published 8:00 a.m. ET
Victoria Beckham is dragging a British magazine into court for saying she's on diet pills.
The skinny star is furious because tabloid rag Now said that she had her sister sneak the tablets from the UK to Los Angeles to help her keep her weight down.
According to reports, the mom of three is said to be "horrified", and even says the false claims are "dangerous" because she is a role model to so many people.
