Victoria Beckham is in talks to appear as a judge on a new BBC talent contest patterned after the American TV hit So You Think You Can Dance.
The 35-year-old fashionista formerly known as Posh is in talks with the network and producer Nigel Lythgoe to star as a judge on the show scheduled to premiere early next year.
“The plan is for her to judge in one or two shows. Victoria has only made a handful of appearances on British television so it would be a real coup,” a tattle close to negotiations told London’s Daily Mail this week.
After five seasons, choreographer Mia Michaels has parted ways with FOX’s hit dance competition So You Think You Can Dance, MTV.com has learned.

NSFW: So last night, one of the oh-so graceful and limber contestants on So You Think You Can Dance forgot that going commando probably isn’t the best idea when you’re about to make an appearance on national television.
Panties are our friends, ladies.
The woman, known only as ‘Contestant 22036′, was featured on a montage clip of those who made it through to the semi-final round in Las Vegas. After receiving the good news, she falls to the floor in amazement and rolls over revealing her…er…lady parts.
Here’s a NSFW remix video of the unedited crotch shot that’s making the rounds on the blogosphere this Wednesday. (Keep Your Eyes On The Black Girl In The White Dress.) Hilarious!

As a filmmaker, it’s an honor to be able to recognize choreographers and dancers, and to be able to bring all of this amazing work into America’s homes,” Adam continued. “These kids challenge themselves every week, and it’s great for people to see how terrific these dancers are.”
