And the New 'American Idol' Judge Is...Victoria Beckham?

That's right. According to Grazia, toned down spray tanner Posh will be guest judging two to three episodes of "American Idol" in its upcoming 9th season and is reportedly earning a pretty penny for her work: over $260,000.

This comes on the heels of news that Paula Abdul is leaving the show, but her fellow lady judge Kara DioGuardi will be returning.

It seems Abdul wanted her yearly contract bumped up from $4 million to $12 million, reports the Daily News. And when that didn't happen, she bailed.

The pint-sized singer/dancer is said to be in talks to make the judge jump over to "So You Think You Can Dance."

In any case, Beckham will now equal out the Brit to American ratio on the AI panel (Simon Cowell and Posh, Randy Jackson and DioGuardi).

While we know VB was a mega-famous Spice Girl, how do we really feel about her ability to judge singing talent?

We're unsure ourselves, but we can't wait to see what she wears!

Love her! I wish Posh would become a permanent fixture on AI, it needs a shot of glam. Can't wait for the new season.

BTW - Paula who????

American Idol Judges should be judges with knowledge about judging, not someone from another band, or former contestant on Idol, not any amateur. Who cares about what an amateur thinks about a contestants ability to perform. Kara does not qualtify either. She has the personality of a black eye pea.

They are about to start losing their ratings and on their way out when they start playing with people intelligence in this manner.
