Beckham to star in American Idol

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has signed up to be a guest judge on American Idol, replacing Paula Abdul.

But despite rumours suggesting Posh Spice would take over from Paula full-time, her spokeswoman said she'd only be making a "one-off appearance".

The 35-year-old is thought to be filming her part this week, days after Paula announced her decision to quit.

American Idol is the most popular TV show in the United States, with about 26m people watching every episode.

Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson have both become big stars since competing on the show and it's also made the judges, including Britain's Simon Cowell, into huge celebrities.

Victoria Beckham will be joining Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and songwriter Kara DioGuardi on the judging panel.

It's not yet known whether anyone else will be appearing as a guest judge during the series, or to replace Paula Abdul permanently.
