Does Posh Spice want Paula Abdul's Idol job?

Victoria BeckhamIf we are to believe every rumor we hear in Hollywood, then every guy is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, and every girl wants Paula Abdul's cushy Idol judging job.

Move over Courtney and Belinda. This week it's Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham who is hoping for Paula's dismissal. According to this exclusive, replacing Paula with Posh is the brainchild of Beckham's manager, Simon Fuller, who also serves as Idol's Executive Producer.

But Paula is not going anywhere as long Simon Cowell remains on her side. Victoria's bid for a spot on the high-profile TV juggernaut was apparently blocked by Cowell.

One source said, "He's being loyal to Paula but, more importantly, fears two Brits on the panel will reduce interest in the show and sabotage ratings."

Of all the Spice Girls, Posh was always my least favorite. And it truly boggles my American mind that anyone is fascinated with her. Did you ever notice that she looks like a wax figurine in every photo she takes? To me, she is plastic without a personality.

Paula may have her problems, but I prefer her to anything Posh. What do you think?

Paula and the panel are great and funny, Simon makes a person mad, but he tells it like it is. They would make a mistake to get rid of any of the panel they have now. Nan

I say keep Paula. Why change things around. I can't believe they would even think of picking someone else. If they changed anyone I don't think I would watch American Idol anymore. I get a kick out of each of the three judges. :-)

Simon Fuller is suppose to be a smart guy, so why on earth would he even consider replacing any of the judges when his ratings are so good? If you lose any of the judges (Paula, Simon and Randy) the show would be done. They are great at what they are doing. I know I wouldn't watch if one of them was replaced. There always seems to be talk about replacing Paula. She is the one they pick on all the time.
Courtney, Belinda and now Posh give me a break, I don't think anyone of them would be good for the show. Why mess with a good thing? People tune in to watch not only the performers but those three judges, PAULA, SIMON and RANDY. That is what half the fun of watching is.
And to those of you who think the show is on its way out...watch and see how many people phone in to vote. Those singers who don't want idol to make there career must not really want to make it big, or they don't need the money that they would get. Anyone serious about the business would take any means possible to break in. Not only do the winners come out a head but look at the top 3 - 5 performers from the show they all make it. Not only those top few performers and think back on other seasons. We still hear about some of the performers who made it to the top 12.
Here's to tonight and tomorrows performances. I can't wait. And then the results on thursday. Let's get going, bring on the singers!

I love Paula. She cracks me up...Posh is so full of herself. And, honestly, I am not crazy about the Beckmans coming here believing that all of America would just fall at their feet. I could really care less what they do.

Justelise, "American Idol" is in its downward slope? How do you figure? If you're talking about ratings, you're just wrong, so please enlighten us.
