There’s a story that David and Victoria Beckham’s new NBC reality show, which will feature tiny Victoria front and center, is in jeopardy due to a lack of appearances by the Beckham’s famous friends.

The much-hyped reality show is due to be broadcast on US channel NBC in the summer, to coincide with David’s mega-money transfer from Real Madrid to Los Angeles Galaxy football club.

An insider said the docusoap – similar to The Osbournes, which followed the antics of Ozzy, Sharon and their family – was likely to be pulled because none of the Beckhams’ US celebrity buddies would appear in it.

‘So far, all that’s been filmed is Victoria house-hunting and her quest to find schools for the kids, which hardly makes scintillating viewing,’ the source said.

‘David and Victoria are not well known out there and they have not yet been able to convince any of their celebrity friends to come on.’

It was rumored that Tom Cruise was telling Katie Holmes not to appear on the show with her fashion-mentor and BFF, as he didn’t want her playing Ethel to Posh’s Lucy. I’m not sure if all this is true about the show being scrapped, and it could be just speculation by someone.

The article goes on to say that Victoria was only paid almost $600,000 for the series and not the whopping $19.6 million that was reported earlier.

If that’s true it might explain Victoria and David’s reluctance to buy a home in LA. They’re said to be stalling as the price usually goes up quite a bit once homeowners hear that the famous British couple is interested.

David Beckham was said to be starting at another woman while out to dinner with his wife recently. He was busted checking out a model at the next table most of the night.

The Beckhams are shown with their dumb matching duck ‘dos at the Sport Industry Awards on 3/29. [via]
