America's hottest British
imports will soon be starring
in their own reality
TV series, but don't expect
too much reality in the show.
The producer of the new
show - which stars soccer
phenom David Beckham and
his wife Victoria (Posh Spice
of the Spice Girls) - felt the
power couple needed a little
more drama in their lives to
make the series a success
- so they've decided to use
a script!
"The show has a lot going
for it - one of the world's
hottest and most stylish
celebrity couples, their
exciting relocation to Los
Angeles and David's historic
joining of the L.A. Galaxy
soccer team," said an insider.
"But they feel they needed
to juice up the show's excitement
quotient for the couple,
so Posh's bodyguard and
personal assistant will have
scripted roles."
Executive producer Simon
Fuller - one of the geniuses
behind "American Idol" - felt
the premise just wasn't thrilling
enough for the demanding
American audience. As they
relocate to the States, David,
31, and Victoria are searching
for a lavish new home in L.A.,
and Victoria is also setting
up business deals for her
clothing and handbag lines.
Simon brought in the
personal assistant and bodyguard
for Victoria, 31, to battle
with each show, according
to the insider. Simon, who is
also Victoria's manager,
is currently shopping the
series to the top television
networks.
"He's sure the Beckhams
are going to be the next
big thing on American television,"
added the insider.
"They just need a little
extra help getting there."
