“辣妹”維多利亞·貝克漢姆即將與美國NBC電視臺簽署一份天價合同，未來將為該臺拍攝一部電視真人秀節目。這部尚未定名的電視真人秀將近距離觀察維多利亞與她的球星丈夫大衛·貝克漢姆移居洛杉磯之后的新生活。節目由曾成功策劃《美國偶像》的英國媒體大亨西蒙·福勒操刀打造。上世紀90年代，正是福勒組建了英國紅極一時的流行音樂女子組合“辣妹”，讓維多利亞一夜成名。

When Victoria Beckham moves to town, the momentous event will be recorded for television by the creator of "American Idol." NBC has signed a deal for six episodes of a half-hour unscripted series chronicling the former Posh Spice'srelocationfrom Europe with her soccer-star husband, David, who has signed to play with the Galaxy team here, Daily Variety said Wednesday.

The series, which may air this summer, will be produced by Simon Fuller, the "American Idol"magnatewho managed the Spice Girls pop group that included Victoria Beckham, the trade paper said.

How a celebrity transfers her support system, including publicist, stylist and personal assistant, to a new town will be a focus of the show, which also is expected to include her shopping for items like a home and car, Variety reported.

Fuller said he was interested in a series with Beckham before the family's move to America was announced.

"For the past few years, I've been inundated with requests to make a show based on Victoria's real life. After much thought, we have finally decided to do it," with NBC as partner, he told Variety.

Beckham expressed enthusiasm for the project and the chance to work with Fuller again.

"This show is really something different. It's pushing the boundaries, and I think it's going to surprise a lot of people," she said.

Fuller manages both Beckhams and helped negotiate the famed athlete's lucrative soccer deal.
