It has taken recent international celebrity imports Dave Beckham and his bride, Victoria, practically no time at all to assimilate themselves into our humble artists' community. Likewise, they had only barely begun to unpack their giant moving boxes marked "Dolce & Gabbana Swimsuits" and "Headshots/Misc. Knicknacks" before their doorbell started ringing, alerting them to the presence of friendly neighbors bearing gift baskets brimming with self-improvement literature and vitamins. Not surprisingly, the captivating Victoria—whom close, personal famous friend Tom Cruise has allegedly heralded as a "comic genius"—has instantly found herself the subject of a heated Hollywood bidding war, pitting producer against producer in a feverish attempt to capitalize on her singular talents. The project? Why, a reality show, of course!

NBC is close to a deal with former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham for an upcoming reality show, a source with knowledge of negotiations confirmed on Tuesday.

The show would focus on Beckham's move to America with her husband, international soccer star David Beckham, who will be plying his trade for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer beginning this summer.

England's Daily Mail newspaper values the deal at $19.6 million.

The pending deal was reportedly brokered by Simon Fuller, who managed the Spice Girls, brokered David Beckham's new soccer contract, and is behind Fox's smash hit American Idol.

"The Americans were falling over themselves to sign Victoria up for a TV show but we had to choose the right deal for her," Fuller was quoted as saying in a British paper. "NBC won out in the end as they have really taken a shine to Vic's hilarious sense of humour [sic] and they want to capitalise [sic] on this."

The series' hysterical fish-out-of-water premise alone (overexposed British famewhore, most memorable for being photographed while shopping and providing some vocals to "Spice Up Your Life," makes her way through the superficial and affluent community of Beverly Hills!) should be enough to have the curious flocking to NBC to see what Posh is up to. We're already atwitter about the plot of the first three episodes, all involving some variation of Posh calling her relatives back home to brag about the sunny SoCal weather, then having her driver bring her to Robertson, where the swarming paparazzi momentarily threaten to prevent her from entering her favorite dress shop.
