Following a tense bidding war, NBC has signed a deal for an untitled reality series documenting every moment of Victoria "Posh" Beckham's move to Los Angeles with husband, soccer star David Beckham. Reportedly, the ex-Spice Girl has been offered £10 million to do the series.The series will be executive produced by American Idol's Simon Fuller (who, not so coincidentally, used to represent Posh and the rest of the Spice Girls back in the day) through his 19 Entertainment shingle. NBC is said to want to air the series as early as this summer.
But the question is: Do we really care?
I'm not entirely sure why NBC (desperate though they might be for another ratings hit) would spend this kind of dough on an already super-overexposed celebrity couple that most people don't bat an eyelash over outside of Blighty.
In fact, the only super-couples I'm interested in seeing on NBC next season are The Office's Jim and Pam and Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy on the still-not-renewed 30 Rock.

There are only so many times you can bang your head against a wall before you have to stop and say to yourself -- hey. Maybe it's MY fault I'm bleeding...
Do people in Omaha know who the hell Posh and Becks are? Do they care?!
If Reilly and Zucker were running any other corporation in America, would they STILL have their jobs?...
Nope.
