Even though Victoria Beckham keeps saying she is focusing on her fashion label right now with fashion week just around the corner and she was only supposed to do a on-off appearance as a guest judge for American Idol, here she is again! The former Spice Girls singer "Posh Spice" was in Boston yesterday for another round on the judging panel for American Idol, filling Paula Abdul's missing place.
