Pish-Posh: Beckham Bombs Idol Stint to Replace Abdul

Share

(Newser) – Ice princess Victoria Beckham did manage to crack a smile when she showed up as a guest judge for American Idol to fill in for Paula Abdul last week, but that's as good as it got, reports Radar. "It didn't go too well," said a source. Posh "tried too hard to be nice, but came off as icy and wooden." Abdul shocked fans last week with her decision not to return to the show.

Who Cares? You trade one "dumb" ego for a "stuck up" ego. Either way you put it, they are both idiots of the most rigged show in America. Reply
