Top target ... Posh Spice Victoria Beckham
STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses want to ramp up the wow factor by signing a host of A-list stars such as Posh Spice Victoria Beckham and Amy Winehouse.

They are also targeting ex-US President Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea, and his former White House lover Monica Lewinsky.
Girls Aloud singing star Kimberley Walsh and Holby City actress Patsy Kensit are other top names bosses are wooing as contestants.
But to balance the big stars, they are also considering an invitation to, er, Lembit Opik, the oddball ex-Lib Dem MP and Cheeky Girl fan.
The next series kicks off on BBC1 in September and will have a 12-week run.
At least three shows will come live from Blackpool's legendary Tower Ballroom.

And back in the studio, floor space will be doubled so more fans can watch the action unfold.
Several dancers are set to get the chop to make way for new signings, who may include renowned American choreographer Derek Hough.
The moves are part of a plan to pump lots more cash into the show to boost ratings.
A show source said: "It's no secret last year's line-up was pretty rubbish and viewers weren't happy.
"This year we're going for much bigger names.
"We've got more money to spend as things like Jonathan Ross's expensive contract have come to an end."
