Since the whole world seems to be rocked by the fact that Paula Abdul has left American Idol …Simon Cowell did the next logical thing. He found someone much more entertaining and interesting to replace her.

Simon Cowell has called on a old friend to join him on the judging panel – one Mrs Victoria Beckham. The former Spice Girl has so far agreed to make one guest appearance on the show for a rumoured £155,000.

Her spokesperson told Mail Online: Yes Victoria will be making a “one off” appearance as a guest judge.’
