American Idol auditions are underway and while we've already seen Victoria Beckham step in as a guest judge in two locations, the producers are looking to fill Paula's shoes with a series of female pop stars. Today Joe Simpson shot down rumors that Jessica was angling for a spot, but it got us thinking about some other ladies we'd like to see in the empty seat. Katy Perry is signed up with promises of more to come but tell us - who would you like to see on American Idol?

David Gets a Red Card and Hangs Out With Cruz and Romeo

Molly — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:45:00 -0700

David Beckham was on daddy duty carrying Romeo and Cruz on errands in LA while Victoria was in Boston for another round of American Idol auditions on Friday. Posh is temporarily sitting in for Paula, who apparently may be back on AI but is also looking into a possible variety show. Back in LA, David was causing trouble on the soccer field. The Galaxy lost their home game on Saturday, no thanks to David, who was issued a red card and thrown out of the game after only 16 minutes of play. He is still being greeted by boos all over the country so it's no surprise if he has some aggression to get out when he puts on his uniform. It wasn't much of a game for Becks, but one place he is still in the running is our shirtless bracket, where he's run into some surprisingly stiff competition from Shia LaBeouf - vote on all matchups now!

Victoria Heads to Boston While Keeping the Judging Seat Warm

PopSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Victoria Beckham joined Ryan Seacrest and the rest of the American Idol judges in Boston yesterday for their latest round of auditions. She was also with the gang last week in Denver, though her repeat appearances don't mean she's angling to permanently take over for Paula Abdul. Victoria's rep says she's only a temporary replacement, since Posh is focusing more on her designing career these days. In fact, she was wearing one of her own creations, which Elle Macpherson sported just a few days earlier.

David's Game Gets Heated While Victoria Takes on Idol

PopSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:30:11 -0700

David Beckham and the LA Galaxy beat the New England Revolution in Foxborough, MA, on Saturday. Becks got into an argument with a player who elbowed him, but he smiled after his team's win. He's also getting pressure from England to come back in December or else he won't qualify for the World Cup. Meanwhile, Victoria was in good spirits arriving at American Idol auditions in Denver on Friday to be Paula's temporary replacement. She told Ryan Seacrest, "I'm going to try hard to pout and not shatter the illusion that I'm a moody cow, but I don't know if I can - I'm just so happy." Whether or not you are excited for her Idol moment, it sounds like we'll be seeing a happy Posh when the new season arrives.

Paula Abdul Has a Brief but Posh Replacement on Idol

PopSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:30:55 -0700

Paula Abdul arrived at JFK last night ready to talk about how overwhelming it is to leave American Idol and to say Simon Cowell misses her already. The news Paula's leaving the show saddened many of you, and even her fellow judges Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson have expressed their shock about her departure. Paula apparently wanted $20 million and, when the Idol execs wouldn't meet her demands, she turned them down via Twitter. While nobody can take Paula's place, Victoria Beckham's publicist confirmed Posh will guest judge for one episode. Many people are wondering whether this is all a big publicity stunt, but for now Paula's just sitting back and weighing all of her options.
