The Beckham brood continues to expand!
"David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to confirm they are expecting their fourth child in the summer," their rep told People magazine.
"Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are very excited about the arrival of their new brother or sister."
With three sons ages 11, 8 and 5½, the Beckhams admitted to having a full house – but said they were willing to expand.
"I think one day, if we're blessed to have more children, it would be amazing," Victoria, 36, said when asked about additional kids with her soccer star husband. "It's a lot having three boys ... But who knows, one day?"
It appears that day has come.
Simon Fuller, the Beckham's mentor and long term business partner, was the first to congratulate the couple.
"I'm absolutely thrilled for them," Fuller said. "Family means everything to David and Victoria and this is simply the best news they and the boys could have wished for at the start of 2011."
After weeks of speculation about whether she will stay or go, Kara DioGuardi is leaving American Idol, Fox announced Friday.
DioGuardi’s move follows the departures of both longtime Idol judge Simon Cowell and new judge Ellen DeGeneres.
“I felt like I won the lottery when I joined American Idol two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave Idol,” said DioGuardi Friday. “I am very proud to have been associated with American Idol — it has truly been an amazing experience.”
The show’s creator and executive producer Simon Fuller said of DioGuardi, who is one of the music world’s most high-profile songwriters, “I will miss having her on the show, but I look forward to working with her in music for many years to come.”
Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are widely rumored to be in the running to be new judges on the show. Other celeb names that have been rumored as possibilities to fill the judges’ table include Shania Twain, Elton John, Chris Isaak and Harry Connick Jr.
Although he was mum about the makeup of the judges panel, producer Nigel Lythgoe, who is back working on American Idol, told People magazine about the next season, “We will be bringing the spotlight back onto the talent and away from the judges. I think that’s really very important, especially when you lose such a superb judge as Simon Cowell. You need to move the spotlight off him very quickly! But in truth, we’ve forgotten that it’s the talent that drives the program at the end of the day.”
