In an interview with the Sunday People, Noel (Victoria's sister's ex-boyfriend) claims that the Spice Girls will never work again. Noel claims Victoria told him that she doesn't like Geri, gets along with Mel B, is not as close to Emma as people think, and that Mel C hardly talks to any of the Girls now and has grown apart from the Girls as she is working on her solo career.

-= Rumor Warning =-

As it's a 3rd source, I would take all of this with a grain of salt. However, it is clear that all the Spice Girls have their solo projects as their first priority.

Melanie B was apparently the only singer to not sing live at the Nelson Mandela tribute concert in Trafalgar Square on Sunday. Her boobs also kept popping out of her top.

Later, Mel B said:

"It was brilliant to be reunited with him. He's a legend. I'm not sure she really knew what was going on. But it was a great moment."

Also, Mel B happened to cause a bit of a stir during her performance, with her low cut top revealing more than she intended as the lacing on her corset gave way to show part of her breasts.

"Yes I do smoke but it's not something I'm proud of. I am a role model and I think it sets a bad example if I'm seen having a cigarette. It isn't something I want to be encouraging young people to do."

The promo cd also includes an 'indio-i remix' of 'Lullaby'.

Thanks Christian Saad.

Emma Bunton lost her temper with a camera crew when she was filmed smoking in a London restaurant, according to today's edition of UK paper The Mirror.

It reports that Emma was with boyfriend Jade Jones at Cafe de Paris in London for the launch of the venue's new club night, Sign. But also in attendance were a TV crew from Stars Behaving Badly - a TV program featuring the misbehaviour and extreme demands of celebrities.

Whilst the crew were filming at the restaurant, Emma inadvertently wandered into shot smoking a cigarette. Realising what she had done, she demanded that the crew give her the tape.

'Witnesses' to the event said that Emma shouted:

"Do you want me to sue you, do you want me to take you to court? I have a clean-living image to protect and I don't want to be filmed smoking a cigarette. I'm just here with some friends so don't you ever show that on television."

"Look darling, if you want to have a healthy image, here's an idea - give up smoking."

The report also mentions that Emma is a very light smoker and is trying to give up. Victoria smokes up to 10 a day, Mel B is said to have called in a hypnotist to help her give up a 20-a-day habit while the only member of the band not to indulge is the healthy Mel C.

Ahhh, God bless Melanie C.. :) Also, if there's any truth to this, the crew member quoted has got quite a good brain there, I think.

Thanks Gio!

Looks pretty cute and sounds like a good idea for me =) Ooh, and I would like to thank everybody sending in concert pix to SpiceNews but since they are no real news please stop sending those in - thank you :)

A huge thanks to fiona33 for originally typing up this interview.

Baby Spice will be in Italy for promotions on April 30th and May 1st. She will be in Milan on May 1st at the TRL studios to celebrate MTV coming onto a new network. It was also reported that Emma may be in Holland on April 30th and will be flying to Italy the next day.

Thanks to SpiceFlash.

Site News: NEW UPDATER - Angie Hung

PeopleNews reports that Melanie C has authorised a fly-on-the-wall documentary to follow her while she tours.

It is suggested that she wants her fans to see her behind the scenes in order to rid the rumours that surround her sexuality.

An 'insider' was quoted as saying:

"She's seen as the least sexy [of the Spice Girls] and the one whom people know the least about. That's the reason there's all these stories about her - it's the Michael Jackson effect."

The documentary is to made by Melanie's C's own company, 'Red Girl Productions Ltd'.

I, Joz, the man who has brought you SpiceNews for the past three years, am done. I will no longer be posting news to this site. This website is not over, finished, or ending, please don't think that. There are four other people which will continue to update the site(yes there is a new person being brought in to fill the gap). I just want to say goodbye to everybody and thanks for all the great times! And to Spice Girls, I love you forever. For more info, see site news.

"The asking price is in excess of pounds 650,000 but to be honest we are expecting a lot more than that. A lot of the interest has been people with addresses in rich areas of London."

The Beckhams have until April 27th to put in an offer for the house.

"It becomes a complete obsession and all you think about is what you've eaten today, what you're going to eat today, what you're going to eat tomorrow and whether you're going to put on weight. It doesn't leave any room for your life, you may as well not be alive. I have to admit, putting on the weight, I feel more like a woman now. My hormone levels were all over the place because I was underweight. The physical effects on your body make you infertile. The best thing I ever did was face up to my problem and get over it. I may not have the perfect figure but at last I feel alive and free again."

Watch out for the "A Girl Like Me" artwork-scans later today!

"When we are together, it's complete chaos around us and that's never something I was completely comfortable with. As a solo artist, there's the odd occasion of mayhem but it's on a far lesser scale than the Spice Girls. So, I really am enjoying that to just be able to go around, quite anonymously, in America."

Thanks Lisa

OMG, I LOVE THIS! Aaaah, I can't wait for that album!! Oooh, and all the SpiceNewsers would like to congratulate Luke J. aka Joz and Luke P. aka LukeP who turn both 21 today! Happy Birthday!!

Bruhahahahar, scroll down at the main page and see that this is not a finished version yet ;-) "thank you for buying my album etc. etc. blah blah blah". The full "A Girl Like Me"-album is now up on spicemp3 btw, I'm not gonna tell ya my opinion tho.. :-/

Anyway, she'll be doing a bit of a performance, as well as signing copies of her new album, "A Girl Like Me".

So if you're interested, and you can make it there, then you'll want to be turning up on Tuesday 17 April to be there by 6pm, as that's when Emma is scheduled to be making her appearance.

The letters page includes responses on what she thinks of Napster, the biggest lie she's ever told, plus she also reveals that she'd like to be Tigger (the tiger, from Winnie The Pooh), 'cos tiggers love to bounce'.

"I could have been the person who shot Phil if they'd only got their act together. I'm a massive fan of EastEnders and I'd love to get back in there for a club scene or something like that. When I last appeared I'd just come from stage school. They'd give me a bigger part this time."

So far I like "High On Love" quite a bit!

"I'm thrilled to bits. This is a wonderful feeling. I am gobsmacked that this has done so well and want to say a really big thank you to my fans."

"My mum has absolutely no problem with me dating a black person and our friends and families have been very supportive. I suppose we are quite sheltered from the kind of people who would make comments. But we're not daft and I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't like it. Jade and I talk a lot about trying to do something to fight racism. We are a high-profile couple and in a great position to address the situation."

Posh Spice Victoria Beckham allegedly had a big argument just before Christmas with a fashion boutique named Tarts, which is near her family home in Hertfordshire. Victoria & sister Louise were once big fans of the store, but are now boycotting it because they believe that the store was trying to use Victoria's name to attract publicity. The shop's manager Dimitri Stylianides says:

"Victoria phoned me directly. I don't want to go into too much detail about what she said because I'm scared of her. She's got more money than me, and I'm worried for my business. At the end of the day she got the hump with us because she thought we were using her name to get publicity. She thought we were cashing in. I think a lot of it came from her PR agents because we'd already had a call from them saying we should be paying Victoria for all this free publicity. I couldn't believe it. We've managed without her for over 25 years. We've been around for as long as she's lived."

The shop's co-owner, Brenda Gawen, who has allegedly been a close friend of Victoria's since her teenage years says:

"Victoria was really angry when Dimitri took the call from Victoria. She accused us of trying to sell stories to the Press for money. We are not like that. People kept phoning us and asking us to spill the beans and we always said 'No'. She asked for money and Dimitri told her, 'We've only ever been given pounds 20 by The Big Breakfast for petrol, but you can have half of that if you want'. He was quite annoyed because we work really hard in here, but she wanted a cut of the profits. She's just so greedy. We would give her free clothes and discounts all the time. That's what we do for all our loyal customers. We tried to treat her like we treat all our regulars. She was really, really rude and she was swearing."

Hey, I just wanted to say that Melanie's two shows recently here in Anahiem & L.A. were amazing! She looked fantastic (She looked akward on Leno), performed brilliantly, and was just all around perfect! She rocked!!! OH YEAH!!! :)

Haha, this is another example why she is my favorite :) Isn't she awesome? Heh, hopefully you'll understand most of it as it's a german TV show.. :)

Heh, 3 Mel B-stories in a row, pretty good. If the interview on TV Total is any good or they will premiere Lullaby (which won't be the case I guess) expect a real video-rip of it to be up later tonight!

Which means it will stop the 3 week reign by the UK Popstars, Hear'Say. Though Emma also has a couple of likely competitors which include Feeder, Ash, Li'l Bow Wow, Modjo and the Australian Popstars, Bardot.

But an HMV Chart expert, told Ananova that he thinks Emma's pretty much got it in the bag:

"Emma's single is a good song and has had loads of airplay across the board. Hear'Say's sales are slowing down now, and she is after all a Spice Girl, so her track should be number 1 on Sunday."

Oh, and don't forget Emma's holding a chat today on the Spice Girls C3 site at 6.30pm UK time, which also happens to equal 17.30 GMT. So, I hope you've already got your questions in!

"I've done a huge mistake, the album is crap" she said. She wanted to put the album back but Virgin Records told her that this was impossible.

Baby Spice Emma Bunton talked recently about her relationship with boyfriend Jade Jones saying:

"Of course we have sex. I go back to Jade's mum's and spend the night there."

"I think it makes everything we've done look cheap. I hope Hear'Say are happy. They're in a very controlled environment, I feel like they've already been exploited."

Emma Bunton will potentially be doing more holiday reports for BBC's Holiday show. She worked on the show earlier this year in the Bahamas as you may remember she had that dolphin scare(Story). A source for the show said:

"She's perfect for the job. She's bubbly, pretty and the viewers identify with her, especially the younger ones. Nothing has been finalised but she's being lined up for more programmes."

-= Rumor Warning =-

"When Emma pulled up, she clearly wasn't happy. She was shouting down her phone and then drove off. At the same time, Jade was having a row on his phone. It was obvious they were talking to each other and having a tiff. Emma's seat remained empty for the rest of the night. Jade chatted to his mates but didn't seem to be having a good time. He left as soon as the night ended, as if he had something to sort out. Emma is a big supporter of Great Ormond Street so it was a shame she didn't turn up. There were a lot of disappointed guests."

"It's so unfair on parents who spend a lot of money buying these for their children, and they're not the real thing. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this."

"I bought these off a chap who collects autographs. He is the most reputable collector I know of. She seemed very upset, claiming it wasn't his signature and said some uncomplimentary things about us. We asked her to leave us a number so we could check it out, but she said she didn't have time. She said she knows what her husband's signature like, but it was explained to me that what he does now is not a full signature, but just a squiggle. I don't know if Victoria was aware of that or not. I've removed the one she complained about and intend to contact David. I want to apologise for upsetting her, but I also want to resolve this in a respectful and friendly atmosphere. But she wasn't very respectful in the shop, in all honestly. She was very aggressive... but this is a small family business and we like all our customers to be happy."

Here is a local copy of the interview.

Here is a local copy of the interview.

"She was just singing 'Turn To You' when the kids climbed up onto the stage," an onlooker explained. "It must have been pretty scary for her."

The hall is usually just used for classical concerts so the security people couldn't expect something like that to happen.

Melanie B plans to sell her £3.5 million house because she is out of cash due to her getting divorced and the lack of success with "Forever" and "Hot".

She paid £620,000 to her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, went on expensive holidays and bought gifts for family and friends - now she is concerned about her future and wants to make sure that her money lasts for the rest of her life.
