Victoria Beckham and James Corden Do Carpool Karaoke, Only Not Really … Because They’re Actually Remaking Mannequin?

Man, they are really taking license with the Andrew McCarthy–Kim Cattrall original. Victoria Beckham and James Corden are starring in a remake of the 1987 curiosity Mannequin … except not really, because it’s just a fake trailer for The Late Late Show … except not really, because it’s kind of a Carpool Karaoke segment … except not really, because it’s ultimately an ad for Target. There are an extremely unnerving number of levels happening here, but one way or another, there’s video of a passenger-seat-bound Posh Spice lip-syncing “Spice Up Your Life,†an art at which she is very skilled, so let’s just be grateful for that. Any other fixations on this content are liable to give us an ulcer, as we have intestines and not plastic fillings, a statement which may or may not apply to Victoria Beckham, it’s hard to say.
