Victoria "Posh" Beckham: No-Longer-Spicy Celery of Humanity



News item, from the Associated Press, dateline Los Angeles:


When Victoria Beckham moves to town, the momentous event will be recorded for television by the creator of "American Idol."

NBC has signed a deal for six episodes of a half-hour unscripted series chronicling the former Posh Spice's relocation from Europe with her soccer-star husband, David, who has signed to play with the Galaxy team here, Daily Variety said Wednesday.

The series, which may air this summer, will be produced by Simon Fuller, the "American Idol" magnate who managed the Spice Girls pop group that included Victoria Beckham, the trade paper said.

How a celebrity transfers her support system, including publicist, stylist and personal assistant, to a new town will be a focus of the show, which also is expected to include her shopping for items like a home and car, Variety reported.

Fuller said he was interested in a series with Beckham before the family's move to America was announced.

"For the past few years, I've been inundated with requests to make a show based on Victoria's real life. After much thought, we have finally decided to do it," with NBC as partner, he told Variety.

Beckham expressed enthusiasm for the project and the chance to work with Fuller again.

"This show is really something different. It's pushing the boundaries, and I think it's going to surprise a lot of people," she said.
---------------------------------------------------

Yes, I'm certain we can ALL relate to the trials and tribulations of relocating our stylists and publicists. This should make for some truly fascinating and educational television. Fuller was simply INUNDATED with requests to make a TV show about her!

I'm sorry, how long ago did the Spice Girls break up? She's only famous now via marriage. And for hanging around with Katie Holmes. And for having unnaturally large boobs on her frighteningly emaciated frame.

I love the fact that she has a stylist. She needs someone to 'style' her? Why? Does she not have any herself? She has to pay someone for 'style?'

yeharr

I actually am a stylist. I style myself everyday. Since I am my own stylist, I do not pay myself. And that's handy cuz I'm really good.

For example, right now I am wearing a long sleeved T in a delicate shade of pink, underneath a very large cotton plaid shirt in two different shades of brown.

I'm wearing my hair in a "kicky" ponytail.

I have my hot pink slippers on. Note that I mean hot pink as a colour as opposed to hot slippers that are pink.

And my littluns are real!!!!

(Ok now I'm going to admit that I used to really like the Spice Girls and really worried about the effect that might have on my infant daughter. I think she's totally forgotten about it. Whew.)
