London, Jan 14 (ANI): Simon Cowell is pushing Victoria Beckham to join the judges’ panel of the US X Factor, it has emerged.
“Simon was trying to get hold of Victoria for a few days, keen to suggest a few X Factor dates,” the Mirror quoted a source, as saying.
“When they did finally speak, she was incredibly flattered, not to mention surprised. Money was not discussed but as American TV judges go, the minimum she would be on in a four-show deal is $4million. However, if she was to become a permanent fixture, she could earn tens of millions.”
However, Posh has not said yes as yet.
The insider said: “Victoria told Simon she needs time to think about it as she is so busy with her fashion work right now. Looking at her hectic schedule, some of the dates mooted could be problematic as David is away, so she wants to work from home and look after the kids.”
And Posh may say yes. After all she did have a gala time with Cowell when she appeared as a guest judge on the American Idol panel.
“Simon is incredibly charming so who knows…They did have a long conversation and although Victoria thinks she will be too manic to commit, she loved her time on the Idol panel,” added the snitch.
However, Cowell has denied any reports of approaching Victoria.
“I never approached her. Never have, never will,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
But even if Cowell wants Victoria on the US show, she doesn’t seem to be very popular in the country.
American reviewers had been quite merciless when she appeared on American Idol.
Critics had said that she was Barbie-like, looked stupid and her face was too shiny.
Some even doubted her expertise to be on the show.
One critic said: “Her face is just too crazy for the close-up, and she has nothing to add.” (ANI)
