Victoria Beckham is a pro when it comes to posing in front of the cameras.

But doing anything other than placing her hand on her ever-shrinking hip and pouting her lips may be problem.

This may be the reason why the pin-thin fashion plate is reportedly taking acting lessons in hopes of landing a cameo role in the “Sex and the City” sequel, the Daily Mail reports.

Due to her busy rehearsal schedule for the Spice Girls’ reunion tour in 2007, Posh turned down a walk-on role in the first fashion-obsessed film.

However, producers are reportedly eager to cast the 35-year-old fashionista alongside the film’s four main females in the next movie.

“She really wanted to be in the last movie but wasn’t able to take part because of her commitments with the Spice Girls,” a source said. “This time she’s keen to take part.”

Posh first dabbled with acting in the 1997 flick “Spice World” and again on the small screen in a 2007 episode of “Ugly Betty.”

Given that her only experience thus far has been playing herself, Posh may need to brush up on her acting skills before sharing the big screen with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall.

Controversial comic Russell Brand is set to host MTV’s annual Video Music Awards Sept. 13 in New York City, the network confirmed in a statement Tuesday.

Assuming hosting duties for the second year in a row, Brand — who is currently filming the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall — was welcomed back with open arms, despite causing controversy at last year’s event by ribbing the Jonas Brothers in his opening monologue.

During the show’s open, Brand (a confessed former sex addict) repeatedly joked about the Jonas’ purity rings, saying they should take advantage of their celeb status to get lucky. He later apologized.

“We are thrilled that despite numerous death threats from Jonas Brothers fans, Russell Brand has accepted our offer to put his life on the line and host the VMAs again this year,” MTV’s General Manager, Stephen Friedman, told Usmagazine.com in a statement.

Country teen queen Taylor Swift will also appear on the live broadcast, performing a never-before heard version of her hit “You Belong With Me.”

Last week, it was reported that Kelly Bensimon is the only reality star who has signed up for next season’s Real Housewives of New York. The rest are reportedly holding out for six-figure deals.

Asked about the salary demands, Zarin told Usmagazine.com: “I think that in an ensemble cast, it’s hard to have demands because I think all women are the same. I think all women should be treated identically. I don’t think one is more valuable than other.”

“I’m not saying someone new on the show would be valued the same as someone who’s been on the show three years,” she said – presumably referring to newcomer Bensimon – at a launch party for the Wendy Williams Show Monday in NYC. “But I think that the cast is the cast. Take an ensemble like Friends. They felt the same way about each other, even though some became more famous than others and some were more liked. They all took care of each other, and I think that’s the way it should be.”

Asked if she’s coming back, Zarin told Us, “You’ll have to watch and see what happens. I can’t announce anything.”

Bravo has confirmed it is “casting for additional housewives” for next season amid reports about the salary dispute.

But Zarin told Us she has “no idea” about casting. If someone’s been hired, “I definitely don’t know who she is,” she said.

A rabid Harry Potter fan took his life yesterday after inadvertently learning a plot spoiler from the soon-to-be-released J.K. Rowling movie, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” 



Jude Ralston, 32, of Hudson, Ohio left a suicide note indicating that since overhearing the plot spoiler at a shopping mall earlier in the day, “I no longer have a reason to live.” 



Family and friends who gathered for a candlelight memorial outside Mr. Ralston’s house remembered a man who seemed to live only for Harry Potter – and wondered if they could have done anything to prevent his tragic fate. 



“When Jude got that vanity license plate that said ‘Hogwarts,’ that seemed harmless enough,” said Polly Clovis, who attended Model U.N. with Mr. Ralston while the two were in high school. “But when he started wearing that wizard hat around town, we really should have seen that as a cry for help.” 



According to friends of Mr. Ralston, the Potter fanatic had done everything in his power to protect himself from stumbling across Potter plot spoilers, even disconnecting his computer from the Internet and avoiding his favorite vintage comic book store. 



Ms. Clovis said that she hoped Mr. Ralston’s death would cause federal authorities to tighten the flow of Harry Potter plot information to prevent similar tragedies from taking place. 



“In my heart I believe that could have saved Jude’s life, even if he didn’t have one,” she said.

Jon Gosselin’s new 22-year-old girlfriend Hailey Glassman stayed in Monday night while visiting St. Tropez, France, with the 32-year-old father of eight because she was so upset with the bad press she’s been receiving.

“U.S. press is all over stories about her being some slutty party girl with a history of arrests,” a source tells Usmagazine.com of Glassman, who was arrested in 2005 for marijuana possession (see her mug shot). “She was upset tonight.”

She didn’t seem too upset earlier in the day, as she and Jon shopped at a Gucci boutique and grabbed lunch together. They were also spotted lighting each other’s cigarettes while sightseeing.

The two are expected to return home today.

Despite previous reports, Jon and Hailey are not collaborating with Ed Hardy fashion designer Christian Audigier on a children’s clothing line.

“Christian is absolutely not starting a kids’ clothing line with Jon,” a rep for Audigier told Us Monday. “As of right now, there is no clothing line in the works between them at all.”
