Victoria “Posh” Beckham was showing some seriously scrawny arms as she shook hands with fans in Denver before the taping of an “American Idol” audition episode.Beckham, who’s serving as a guest judge on FOX’s hit singing contest, has long been called out for her skeletal figure, but in this photo, she’s practically disappearing.

Following a short trip to Denver to tape her “American Idol” guest appearance, Victoria Beckham was looking stylish as she passed through LAX Airport over the weekend.
The former Spice Girl was tapped as a guest judge following the abrupt departure of Paula Abdul, a job that Posh agreed to at the urging of her sons.
“Victoria has been courted by the show for the last few seasons but her schedule has never permitted her to do it before — her sons are big fans of American Idol and that’s what persuaded her to do it,” a source told Hello! magazine. “There’s a chance she may do a second show later but that is not confirmed.”
Meanwhile, sources tell that her guest spot didn’t go all that well, with an insider telling, “It didn’t go too well. She tried to hard to be ‘nice,’ but came off as icy and wooden. The contestants who auditioned were deeply disappointed by Paula Abdul’s absence.”

Victoria Beckham was underwhelming in her one time stint as an ?American Idol? guest judge during the tryouts. Even though Posh often comes across as sort of? um, flat and dull and lacking personality, she can actually be pretty damn funny when she relaxes and lets loose. Which admittedly isn?t often. I had high hopes that the insane nature of the show would bring out some of her quips, but apparently she reverted to Wooden Spice and just sort of sat there as a bland piece of dcor.
Everyone agreed that Victoria Beckham looked lovely as she showed up for her first day of work Friday as an “American Idol” guest judge. But that apparently is where the compliments stop.
“It didn’t go too well,” a source close to the production told RadarOnline.com exclusively. Posh Spice was apparently quite bland.
“She tried to hard to be ‘nice,’ but came off as icy and wooden,” the source added.
Do you hear that Paula Abdul? Yes, we too are wondering if all the guest judges are terrible will that get Paula the pay raise necessary to bring her back?
RadarOnline.com also hear that lots of the contestants who auditioned were deeply disappointed by Paula’s absence (some saying it while cameras rolled). One person connected to show also was overheard saying two British judges were too much.
In that case, we think we’ll keep Simon!

Paula managed to be nice, but even she had a limit. She was pretty obvious in her sympathy for some of the more pathetic contestants, and while a lot of people would bitch about it, it was also one of her more endearing qualities. But when someone was just all-out awful and not getting it, she could make that clear. I mean she did it nicely ? but who isn?t nice compared to Simon Cowell? And her friction with him made for some interesting banter. Posh can be really funny, but it?s super random and rare. The ability is there, though, and I was hoping she?d surprise everyone and whip it out. American Idol may not be what it used to be, but you?ve still got to bring your A game. Sounds like this will probably be a one-time gig for Victoria.

Victoria Beckham will be an American Idol judge ? at least for one episode. And she?s making a good chunk of change for it too: $219,000. Because $220,000 would have been unreasonable. According to Posh, she?s pretty damn psyched about the whole thing, to the point that her usually grumpy, frowning face has accidentally been smiling. She?s trying to tone it down though so she doesn?t freak us all out.
Victoria Beckham says she’s “beyond excited” at being an “American Idol” judge. In fact, Victoria, 35, even says her joy is ruining her usual miserable persona. “When I got the phone call, I just couldn’t believe it,” the former Spice Girl told Ryan Seacrest in an interview on his radio show. “I feel like I got the best job that there is. I’m still grinning from ear to ear.
“I’m going to try hard to pout and not shatter the illusion that I’m a moody cow, but I don’t know if I can - I’m just so happy,” she said.
London’s Daily Mail reports that the mother-of-three will appear in one episode of series nine of the show for a rumoured $219,000 fee.
Her first scenes at the call back auditions of the show were filmed at a hotel in Denver Friday. Wearing a purple strapless gown, she shook hands with fans on her way in.
Like Paula [Abdul], Victoria says she wants to be a kind judge. “I want to be nice to people,’ she said. ‘I know how it feels to be stood there and be judged and how it can feel when nerves get the better of you. I don’t want to shatter anybody’s dream. But at the same time, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of constructive criticism.”
And sitting alongside Simon Cowell? “He is the only man in the music industry who turned down the Spice Girls and said that we would never work,’ she said. ‘I’m looking forward to a bit of banter.’
[From the Daily News]
I?m sure already having a bone to pick with Simon Cowell will keep things from running too smoothly. Not that FOX would ever want that, or to amp up the drama. I think Posh could actually be a really good fit for the show as a permanent judge. She’s a hell of a lot funnier than you’d expect, has lots of experience, and would bring real star power, unlike Kara DioGuardi. I?m curious to see whether Simon will have more or less respect for Posh than he did for Paula. Neither one had an excessively long career, though they both managed to remain relevant ? Victoria more consistently so. I think a lot of people had forgotten about Paula until she started working on American Idol.
Speaking of which, Victoria had some almost catty and then kind things to say about the departing Paula.
Victoria’s inclusion on the hit program comes after the departure of judge Paula Abdul, who announced her decision to quit in a rumoured row over her pay.
When asked if she felt guilty at filling Paula’s seat by the show’s host, Victoria said: ‘You know, I don’t. I’m a spiritual person, and I believe you get back what you put out there.
“I hope she does something that’s bigger and better, and I hope she’s going to be happy. She’s great so she’s going to be good at whatever she does.”
[From the Daily News]
That first sentence seemed all quippy and mean. You could totally turn it around and say Victoria was saying Paula was let go because she?d deserved it. But she immediately says she thinks Paula will have something ?bigger and better? coming her way, and she tied it in well enough that it seems like it was all part of the same thought. Not that I don?t want to do whatever I can to encourage a catfight, but I think it was probably well intentioned. And my money would be on Posh in a fight, just as an FYI. Sure she?s malnourished and underweight but Paula?s erratic and gets the dizzies. Victoria has those long fingernails and stilettos, she seems like she?s the traditional ?claw your eyes out? type of fighter. Which is good ? she?ll need that for Simon anyway.

Victoria Beckham, who was just announced as a guest judge for the upcoming ninth season of "American Idol", said she can't wait to sit next to the former A&R guy who once rejected the Spice Girls, fellow Brit Simon Cowell.
"He is the only man in the music industry who turned down the Spice Girls and said we would never work," Beckham told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Friday (August 7), just before she sat in on auditions in Denver. "I like that fact that he's honest. I think he's very funny."
She added that she doesn't know Cowell very well, but very much understands his attitude and sense of humor. "He has a very tongue-in-cheek British sense of humor, which I have too. I'm looking forward to a bit of banter," she said. "I hope he does give me a little bit of a hard time. I love that. I feed off of that."
Abdul was always the sweet ying to Cowell's sour yang, and it's a tradition that Beckham hopes to uphold during her tenure as judge. "I want to be nice to people. I know how it feels to stand there and be judged, and how it can feel when nerves get the better of you. I don't want to shatter anybody's dream," she said. "But at the same time, there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism."
As for replacing Abdul, even if it is for a brief amount of time, Beckham doesn't feel bad about it, because she knows that soon enough the former judge will be great at whatever she does next. "I don't. I'm a spiritual person, and I believe that you get back what you put out there, and I hope she does something that is bigger and better," she said. "There's something great for her around the corner, I'm sure."
Beckham said she's looking for an Idol with a "natural style." "What I'm looking for [in an Idol winner] is a great singer and somebody who has that star quality," she said. "It's about the whole package."

Paula Abdul may be done with American Idol, but her kindness in judging will remain - as Victoria Beckham plans to be nice when judging the contestants on the hit music show.
Also, like Paula, Posh expects she and Simon Cowell will not always find themselves in agreement.
“I like that fact that’s he’s honest. I think he’s very funny,” Victoria told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Friday. “He has a very tongue-in-cheek British sense of humor, which I have too. I’m looking forward to a bit of banter. I hope he does give me a little bit of a hard time. I love that. I feed off of that.”
The two judges don’t know each other well yet, but she says, “He is the only man in the music industry who turned down the Spice Girls and said we would never work.”
The 35-year-old was asked if she would fill Paula Abdul’s shoes of being the nurturing judge and responded with, “I want to be nice to people. I know how it feels to stand there and be judged. I don’t want to shatter anybody’s drea, but at the same time there’s nothing wrong with constructive criticism.”
Does Mrs Beckham feel guilty or apprehensive about taking Abdul’s spot? “I don’t. I’m a spiritual person and I believe that you get back what you put out there, and I hope she does something that is bigger and better. There’s something great for her around the corner, I’m sure.”
After flying out of LAX Airport yesterday, Mrs Beckham is currently in Denver watching the first round of auditions.

Ready for a departing flight, Victoria Beckham was spotted arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Thursday (August 6).
The former Spice Girl was all glammed up for her flight, being escorted into the terminal with the help of a few staffers.
As previously reported by Gossip Center, it was just recently announced that Mrs Beckham has agreed to be a guest judge on “American Idol” following Paula Abdul’s abrupt departure.
Victoria is getting paid a rumored $220,000 paycheck for her appearance, despite previously telling press of her credentials, “I worked hard at it. But I was never going to be the best singer or dancer.”

I have good news and bad news. First, the bad news. Victoria Beckahm will be making a one-off guest appearance as a judge on American Idol. This comes a little over a day after Paula Abdul resigned from the show over Twitter and is seen as a major get for Victoria as she’s wanted to gain a foothold in America for quite a while.
Hopefully contestants won’t be too offended when they’re critiqued by one of the Spice Girls which is like being given career advice by the homeless man asking you for change. Probably the only help advice she’ll give is to get bigger tits so people will overlook their mediocre voice. A very valid suggestion, I might add.
Oh, yea. The good news. The TV says I can save on car insurance with Geico. Score! But then it had googly eyes on a stack of bills and they played a song that said someone is always watching me. Ahhhh! This is not good news at all.

Up until now, Simon Cowell was the only cheeky Brit on “American Idol,” but in the upcoming season, that’s all about to change.
Victoria Beckham has been named as Paula Abdul’s replacement and she’ll begin filming for the new season of the hit talent show this week. And she’s reportedly appearing in at least two episodes for an estimated $300,000.
An insider told press, “Victoria is hugely flattered as this is one of the highest profile gigs in America. It really is a big deal. Her husband David may be getting a bit of stick at the moment but Victoria’s profile Stateside has never been higher. Network bosses would love to give her the job full-time and it looks like it’s there for her if she wants it.”
Fans of Idol were no doubt shocked when Abdul announced her departure via her Twitter page. “With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to Idol. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day one become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. I do, without any doubt, have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.”
