Victoria Beckham Hollywood career is taking off - the former singer-turned-fashion designer has landed a role in the next Madagascar movie.

The former Spice Girls star has previously made a cameo appearance in Ugly Betty and provided a voice-over for hit kids show Spongebob Squarepants.

Now Beckham has landed her first Hollywood role in the upcoming Madagascar 3, alongside Ben Stiller and David Schwimmer. The 35 year old will reportedly voice a character in the animated film, which is due for release in 2012.
