Oh, how I hope this isn't true. According to tabloid rumours Victoria Beckham, aka "Posh Space", aka "Still inexplicably famous" is going to be playing Lynn, Alan Partridges assistant in the upcoming Partridge film.
Right now anyone familiar with the TV series, "I'm Alan Partridge", will be wiping whatever they were drinking from their monitor. If you've ever seen the series, a comedy masterpiece, you'll know that Lynn is a dowdy 50 year old - so unless they pull no only a surprise, but an amazing amount of costume, make-up and CGI out of the bag, this is not a good omen for the film.
If this is true - and I do stress the word "if" out of my own desperation - my guess would be that whatever studio are producing the film have demanded that she star in it so they have a way to sell it to the American market. Sigh.
Oh God, Steve Coogan's been seduced by Hollywood money and co-creator Armando Iannucci, who won't be working on the film, is spinning in his legacy's grave.

OHHH COME ON!!!!! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING, things were going so well until this had to come along, could they not get 'Kira Knightley', 'Emma Watson' or even 'Michelle Ryan' to play Lynn.

Come on, this MUST be a publicity stunt. I know that apparently Ms Beckham is supposed to have a brilliant sense of humour, but there's no way she could carry of the role of Lynn (at least not as she currently stands)

Oh, hey, come one now, she was amazing in 'Spiceworld', the fact that she was overlooked for an Oscar still haunts the Academy to this day.
Wait, no, sorry, I'm lying.
