The Beckhams' attempted cultural takeover of America has begun. It has been confirmed that Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice has signed a deal to star in a reality show...er... "unscripted comedy series" about the Beckhams' move to LA when David Beckham suits up for the LA Galaxy this summer. It's your standard fish out of water premise, you know, just like Fresh Prince of Bel Air but with spoiled rich white people. Hilarity ensues.

Simon Fuller, creator of American Idol is set to produce and the show will be on NBC.

(Fuller) has so much success around the world with his TV shows and the respect and trust of everybody he works with.

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

Why do celebrities always say their next project is going to "surprise a lot of people". Listen, it's going to surprise no one. The show will not push any boundaries. Victoria takes her kids out. Victoria goes to a Galaxy practice. Victoria goes to the spa. Victoria takes a wrong turn and ends up in a bad neighborhood in a very special episode of "Being Beckham"...

We're sure America will tune in. Both the sports geeks and the starfuckers will be all over this at the get go. The question is whether it's interesting enough to outlast Bonds on Bonds.
