Victoria Beckham knows what's up. She knows, for instance, writers tend to characterize her as an ice queen, and more importantly she knows she looks the part when she poses for all those photos. But she insists, in the new issue of Interview Germany, she's not nearly as "miserable" as she looks.

"I created this persona and I'm very different from that," she says. "I don't feel like I have to scream and shout about it — I know I am a happy person. So I don't get upset when people comment on the fact that I look quite miserable all the time. But people think I am. And you know, sometimes I think the same thing when I look at the pictures."

Grumpy face or not, Victoria's made it look easy to break into the world of fashion, first through modeling and later by creating her own clothing lines. And after all, she's not the only celeb to rock a signature pose wherever she goes.
