We weren’t kidding when we reported earlier that American Idol must go on, and Victoria Beckham is surprisingly not kidding when it comes to her excitement over her involvement with the show.

“When I got the phone call, I just couldn’t believe it. I feel like I got the best job that there is. I’m still grinning from ear to ear,” Paula Abdul‘s replacement admitted on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show.

Grinning? Victoria? And here I was expecting a female version of Simon Cowell!

“I’m going to try hard to pout and not shatter the illusion that I’m a moody cow, but I don’t know if I can - I’m just so happy,” she said.

I’m not sure if I can take any more of these Posh Spice revelations.
