LOS ANGELES: Victoria Beckham is reportedly to be the star of a new TV reality show chronicling her and footballer husband David s move to Los Angeles.
Hollywood s industry bible, Variety, said that after weeks of negotiations the US channel NBC had closed a very rich deal for six episodes of a half-hour unscripted comedic series focusing on Victoria Beckham s move to LA.
Each episode will focus on Beckham s transition to Los Angeles, Variety said, adding the show will explore how one of the most famous women in the world uproots the machinery surrounding her – publicist, stylist, personal assistant, etc. – and brings it across the pond.
Cameras will follow the former Spice Girl as she hunts for a new home for her, her husband and three young sons, or as she shops for a new car. Some of her famous Hollywood friends could even make an appearance, Variety said.
Beckham said she was excited about the project, particularly the chance to work again with producer Simon Fuller, who also brought the United States the pop-star show American Idol.
This show is really something different. It s pushing the boundaries, and I think it s going to surprise a lot of people, 32-year-old Beckham told the magazine.
In January her 31-year-old husband signed a five-year, $250 million contract with the Galaxy and is set to leave his current team, Spanish side Real Madrid, from July.
The show could start airing in the summer.
It s a bit of a flyer, but if they hit it right, there s a built-in machine to promote the show, one TV industry insider told Variety.
Meanwhile in an interview published Wednesday, Beckham, known as Posh Spice, insisted she was more of a homebody than British tabloids like to believe.
I m usually with David and the boys … I have three children, I work hard and when I m not working I m at home with the kids, she told The Mirror.
The children aren t spoiled. We live a relatively simple life at home.
She added: Am I going to start going to clubs with Britney Spears every night? Possibly not.
