Victoria Beckham and her boys made their way into Fogo De Chao in Beverly Hills, California on September 1, 2009. Brooklyn Beckham walked ahead of mom Posh with little brother Cruz Beckham who was dressed up as an astronaut. Victoria made sure Romeo Beckham didn’t drop any of his stuffed animals as she followed behind her herd of boys. The family was out for Romeo’s birthday but dad was no where to be seen as they made their way in for a birthday dinner.

Victoria Beckham really knows how to get into the swing of things.

The former Spice Girl/wannabe actress/”American Idol” guest judge/designer stars in a digital short aptly titled “Swings” for her new Fall ‘09 dress collection.

Taking an artistic approach, the ad, shot in a single take by director Mat Jerrett, features a bevy of beauties, clad in the collection, swaying back and forth in unison on wooden rope swings suspended from the entry ways of London row houses and random street fixtures including a bus stop.

Beckham comes in and out frame wearing the Carmontelle dress in gray cashmere.

Victoria Beckham must like sitting in that fourth judge’s chair.

After serving as a guest judge last Friday for opening American Idol auditions in Denver, she has arrived in Boston for callbacks. (This is the point of the show where judges give singers a golden ticket to advance to Hollywood.)

Last week, Beckham told Ryan Seacrest she wanted to play off Paula Abdul’s judging style. (Abdul was known to be the most supportive of the judges.)

“I want to be nice to people,” she said. “I know how it feels to stand there and be judged … I don’t want to shatter anybody’s dream, but at the same time there’s nothing wrong with constructive criticism.”

She also said she didn’t feel guilty about replacing Abdul, who announced earlier this month that she was leaving the show after eight season amid salary disputes.

“I’m a spiritual person and I believe that you get back what you put out there, and I hope she does something that is bigger and better,” she said. “There’s something great for her around the corner, I’m sure.”

Victoria Beckham plans to be the nice judge when it comes to critiquing contestants on American Idol — but she expects to trade some not-so-nice barbs with prickly judge Simon Cowell.

“I like that fact that’s he’s honest. I think he’s very funny,” Beckham told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Friday. “He has a very tongue-in-cheek British sense of humor, which I have too. I’m looking forward to a bit of banter. I hope he does give me a little bit of a hard time. I love that. I feed off of that.”

Beckham, 35, says she doesn’t know Cowell well, but has one very pointed memory of him. “He is the only man in the music industry who turned down the Spice Girls and said we would never work,” Beckham said with a laugh.

Asked if she plans follow in the footsteps of Paula Abdul, who’s always been the most kind and nurturing judge on the show, Beckman says, “I want to be nice to people. I know how it feels to stand there and be judged … I don’t want to shatter anybody’s dream, but at the same time there’s nothing wrong with constructive criticism.”

As for whether she feels guilty replacing Abdul, she says, “I don’t. I’m a spiritual person and I believe that you get back whet you put out there, and I hope she does something that is bigger and better …. There’s something great for her around the corner, I’m sure.”

So how should prospective contestants aim to please Posh Spice? “What I’m looking for [in an Idol winner] is a great singer and somebody who has that star quality. It’s about the whole package.”

One other quality the fashion-savvy star would like to see: a contestant who possesses “natural style.”

Beckham is currently in Denver, where she’s set to participate in the first round of auditions for the upcoming season of American Idol.
