A Spice Girl on Gossip Girl? Sounds good to me.
Posh Spice and David Beckham's wife Victoria Adams is set to visit the Upper East Side this season for a guest spot on an episode of Gossip Girl, an idea, sources said, that came to be because of mutual respect and love between the two camps. Posh is reportedly a big fan of the show, while stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are fans of the former Spice Girl's designs.
"Blake and co-star Leighton Meester are fans of Victoria's designs, and have both worn her dresses," a source told U.K.'s Mirror. "Blake attended the unveiling of Victoria's new collection in New York last month, alongside the series' stylist Eric Damen. The trio started chatting and Victoria revealed she was a huge fan of the show. From here, Blake pleaded with her to guest star in an episode and ran the idea past producers."
Of course, Beckham is no stranger to television, although much of her filmography has her portraying herself, including a Posh-centric episode of
Ugly Betty late 2007. She's also set to appear on
American Idol as guest-judge.
The wife of the most famous soccer player in the world is set to fly to New York late October to film the guest spot within the day. Her role is still unknown thus far, although if she had it her way, she would like to play an ex-love interest of Chuck.
"She isn't an actress and wanted her role to be very tongue-in-cheek," the same source. "And an idea for her to play Brit actor Ed Westwick's long-lost mother was quickly vetoed. Victoria joked that she'd rather play his ex-love interest!"
Here's hoping she'll do a better job than Tyra Banks, although that's not really saying much is it.
