BURBANK -- June 13, 2007 -- NBC will give viewers an exclusive look
inside the life of international superstar Victoria Beckham as she makes
the move across the pond from London to Los Angeles in the highly
anticipated hour-long event special "Victoria Beckham: Coming to

The announcement was made today by Craig Plestis, Executive Vice
President, Alternative Programming, Development and Specials, NBC
Entertainment.
"Viewers will get a first-hand glimpse into what it's like to be
one of the most sought after celebrities in the world," said Plestis.
"Victoria's every move is documented by the paparazzi, but only our
cameras have been allowed inside the world of what being Victoria Beckham
is really like."
The special will delve into Victoria's larger-than-life world and will
reveal the woman behind the fashion icon. Her mischievous sense of humor
and willingness to poke fun at her image leads to some of the most
insightful and hilarious moments.
Victoria burst onto the scene as a member of the hit 90's all-girl
super group The Spice Girls. Known around the world as "Posh
Spice," the elegant and confident member of the ensemble, Beckham
sold millions of albums worldwide with the group before it disbanded in
2001. She went on to become an accomplished solo artist with such hits as
"Not Such an Innocent Girl" and "This Groove/Let Your Head
Go On." In 1999, she married soccer superstar David Beckham and
quickly they became one of the world's most celebrated couples. In 2004,
Beckham turned her attention to fashion, designing VB Rocks a line of
high-end jeans for Rock and Republic. Most recently, Beckham launched her
own jeans label called dVb, penned a best selling style bible "That
Extra Half an Inch," as well as her own line of sunglasses and
perfume.
"Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" is produced by 19
Entertainment, a fully owned subsidiary of CKX, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKXE). Simon
Fuller ("American Idol"), Kim Fuller ("Tracey Takes
On") and Mike Nichols ("High School Reunion") are the
executive producers.
