American Idol Stylist

Her stint as an American Idol guest judge might not have gone well with everyone, but it seems there's still a place for Victoria Beckham on the show: as a stylist. The Daily Mirror reports that the show's creator, Simon Fuller, has approached the former Spice Girl to design the looks of the contestants when the live shows come along by March. She's been offered roughly $98,000 per episode, a source said, and negotiations are currently ongoing. "This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase Victoria's spectacular eye for fashion," the source said. "She's giving the offer serious thought." But reports also say there's a deeper motive for this: Simon Cowell is apparently also wooing Beckham to make her a judge on the American version of The X Factor, alongside other rumored names like Paula Abdul and Cheryl Cole. So, Fuller's move is designed to thwart Cowell's reported move. Ahhh, things are starting to unravel. But I'm wondering about how this would go down with the contestants, who would be keen on designing their own looks so they can differentiate themselves to voters quickly. But if it helps us steer away from, say, Allison's troll look last season...
