Victoria Beckham leaving a hotel in London (7/24)

Could Victoria Beckham be Paula Abdul's replacement on American Idol? Sure, why not. She's already agreed to one guest judging appearance (for a rumored £155,000) and word on the street is it could become permanent. From The Sun:

Billionaire show producer Simon Fuller, who managed the Spice Girls, is in talks to hire Posh, 35, as a judge.

A source said: "Paula's absence leaves a big gap on the judging panel. At least 25 million viewers tune in every week. It needs a big star. Simon Cowell and Victoria have always got on. It would be an incredible coup to get Posh. She was in one of the biggest girl groups in history so she knows what she is talking about. Simon Fuller is now speaking to her."

Victoria Beckham? How . . . boring. Paula needs to be replaced by someone equally as crazy, like Mischa Barton or Amy Winehouse. Holy shit, can you imagine Amy Winehouse as a judge on American Idol? The drinking game possibilities alone would be endless. "Do a shot every time Amy compares someone's performance to the high that comes from shooting up heroin" or "Do a shot every time Amy offers to suck someone's dick for coke."
