Idol Producer Hopes to Make Medical Drama Sing | Today's News: Our Take | 3/22/2008
American Idol producer Simon Fuller is known for producing shows with high pop-music star wattage, but for his next series, he'll be going inside a less glamorous profession: ER surgery and life as an EMT.His upcoming drama pilot, Austin Golden Hour, has been green-lit by the CW and will follow action in real time, starting from each show's big starting trauma. The show will follow a group of tight-knit ER surgeons and EMTs in Texas, centering on their work and, of course, their personal lives.If this sounds familiar, the storyline was birthed from the experience of ER alum Lance Gentile, who cowrote the pilot.

She may be Posh, but Victoria Beckham wants to set the record straight. “I’m just a normal girl from London,” says the British tabloid queen who hopes American viewers will see that side of her on her upcoming NBC special, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America.Perhaps that’s why you won’t see famous friends like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on the one-hour special, which airs July 16 and will chronicle the star’s move with her family to Los Angeles as husband David Beckham prepares to join the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team.“It’s more a documentary than a reality show,” she says. Still, a major part of her real life won’t be seen on TV — her three sons, Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 4, and Cruz, 2, won’t appear on the special. “We don’t ever allow our children to be photographed or filmed.”But she doesn’t rule out the possibility of future TV appearances.
