I Wish To Be The Next Single?
I Wish could be Victoria's next single after A Mind Of Its Own. Dotmusic reported that she is already working on a remix of the song together with Craig David and Robbie Craig.

VERY good decision Mrs. Beckham, let's hope the remix can really keep up with the already brilliant album version.

Spice Vs. Westlife Round #544841
Victoria felt the need to bitch against Westlife again, here's what she said on Worldpop:
"I know Westlife are a massively successful band but I don't think they could ever compare themselves with the Spice Girls. Obviously they're massive at the moment but they haven't had the same kind of success as the Spice Girls. We were a worldwide success. We had a No 1 record in America and all over the world. I don't think Westlife have reached that level yet."
Here's a video of that and more of the interview with Victoria from Worldpop.com.

Yet sad enough that it's a Spice Girl who needs to prove herself all the time..

Spiceys To Reunite On Channel 5? No!
MTVAsia.com reported that Channel 5, the uk TV station the Spice Girls launched back in 1997, have offered each Spice Girl including Geri £1,000,000 to reunite for the channel's 5th birthday. They would have to perform one gig and appear in the channel's promotion on radio, TV and press in the week of March 29.

When asked by SpiceNews, Channel 5 told us that they are "aware that rumours have been circulated regarding this story" but that "there are no plans to stage such an event."

Victoria basically also denied this rumor on Radio 1 yesterday, she was quoted saying:

"No, I don't want to do a duet with one of the other Spice Girls. I've got to establish myself as a solo artist first. A Spice Girls Greatest Hits album is the only real plan for the future."

Victoria To Appear In Ad For Walkers Crisps
Victoria is set to appear with former soccer star, Gary Lineker in a TV commercial for Walkers Crisps.

It will be filmed at a secret location next month, and broadcast on TV for the first time in May.

You may happen to recall that Victoria starred in another TV commercial for Walkers quite a while ago alongside the other Spice Girls, but this time it will be her first ad as a solo artist.

A spokesperson for Walkers said:

"We regard the signing of Victoria as a fantastic coup. She is a massive star and we are confident the script will have everyone in stitches. It will really surprise everyone."

Posh Says She's Not Like Footballers' Wives
Victoria Beckham says she's nothing like Chardonnay Lane in Footballers' Wives. She and David Beckham have been compared to the character and her football star husband Kyle. But Posh Spice says their life is not that glamorous:

I was watching Footballers' Wives and there's a couple in there that are meant to be me and David. This girl is doing this modelling and her boyfriend pulls up in some flashy convertible and she comes out with her Louis Vuitton luggage. "She says 'Oh I love you babe, we are so rich, this is so fabulous.' "But it's not like that. We argue over the remote control."

Wannabe The Sexiest
Wannabe has been voted one of the sexiest music videos by FHM.com:

"No, of course they don't get their bits out. But here's Baby running up and down the stairs of a fabulous mansion in her pigtails and miniskirt, Posh before she became pseudo royalty and people still fancied her, Sporty when her looks still relected her nickname and the first of many, many public outings for Mel B and Geri's astonishing breasts. Their time as band may've passed but we feel their contribution to trouser arousal must be noted." - quote by FHM

Thanks Spice Girls Asia

Celebrity Questions For Victoria In Glamour Magazine
Victoria Beckham will be in the latest edition of Glamour magazine. There are 3 different covers to collect. Click here and here to see 2 of the covers. In this edition, other celebrities get to ask Victoria a question, below is a snippet from the magazine:

Britney Spears asks: People often ask me who I think is more famous, me or Justin. Who do you think is more famous, you or David?
Victoria answers: "At the start the Spice Girls were hugely famous and David wasn't even in the first team. The World Cup came up, he got sent off and hit rock bottom. That was when he was the most hated man in Britain, and the Spice Girls were doing a gig at Madison Square Garden in New York and Madonna and her little girl came backstage to see us. At the moment, I've had a real dip and he's doing brilliantly. I think with our fame we might both end up somewhere in the middle."

Natalie Imbruglia asks: Who would you support if it wasn't Man Utd?
Victoria answers: "I'd go for an underdog like Barnet, my local team. I'd love that, but David doesn't want to go there."

Dolce & Gabbana ask: We would love to know if David will ever play for Milan and if you'll come and live here.
Victoria answers: "I think Milan has shown interest in David, and with football you never know where you're going to end up. There have been players who thought they would be staying at a team forever and then two weeks later they move. Europe might be a possibility at some time, but I've no idea when."

The Power Of Spicenews
The power of Spicenews.com was illustrated recently. Spicenews posted the only parts where Melanie C speaks/appears in Matt Roberts' fitness video (scroll down to the second-last story on this page to see this report). My friend had purchased the video and typed out for Spicenews what Melanie C said. WENN, a news agency that is the "source" of a lot of entertainment news around the world, visited Spicenews and invented a whole report about how fans are "fuming" that Melanie C appears so shortly in Matt Roberts' video. WENN even quotes spicenews:

"One annoyed fan has posted her complete lines on a website saying, 'To save you all money, here's the only things Melanie C says in the video:'"

It should be mentioned that there is no indication whatsoever that I was annoyed, I was just posting this news so that all of our readers would know once and for all the limits of Mel C's appearance and make their own decision as to whether or not to buy the video. Anyway, this totally goes to show how the media can take and twist any quotes they find into whatever kind of story they want to spin. So please remember this when you read the tabloids every day. Case closed.

Voodoo Spice
Melanie B spent 10 days on the African island of Benin for Channel 4's documentary "Mel B: Voodoo Princess" which is going to be aired on January 12th at 8pm local time.

Producer Anastasia Mouzas said: "The King of Dahomey made her a princess in recognition of the fact that his ancestors too were removed to the Caribbean. Mel met many priests and was asked by many friends to bring back potions for fertility or friendship. She got a love potion for Emma!"

Melanie was impressed by the fact that a voodoo priest could tell her more about her that she probably didn't know herself

Thanks to my babelicious babe for scanning these pics!

Good gosh, the tabloids are freaks. They can take the same pictures and put whatever spin they want on them, depending on the story they want to portray. In my personal opinion, Mel C looks great and to re-echo the opinion of many: We focus way too much on appearance anyways.

Posh And David Visit Hospital
On New Year's Eve, Posh and David Beckham visited a cancer hospital to hand out gifts to the children. The gifts included signed football shirts, footballs, PlayStations, games and copies of their autobiographies. One child commented: "They seemed like really, really nice genuine people. They completely lifted my spirits." When asked, David even called one of the youngster's best mates, who was a Manchester United fan.

Victoria also recently helped with the January sale at Harrod's. She had a young 6-year-old heart patient with her named Kirsty Howard. Click here to see a picture of the two of them together.

Rob Buckler About Melanie C
Rob Buckler, boss of London's Strongroom studio (a studio sometimes known as the "studio of the stars") has said:

"A lot of the stars come in before they have had any success. We didn't have a clue who the Spice Girls were. It's fair to say they didn't charm us. Not that they were rude, but they didn't come across as celebs. A few years later, though, Mel C came in to record some tracks for her album Northern Star and it was a different matter. She oozed star quality. She kindly wrote in our guestbook that the Strongroom was the home of Wannabe."

Melanie C In Matt Roberts Fitness Video
To save you all money, here's the only thing Melanie C says in Matt Roberts fitness video, the one advertised as "featuring Melanie C":

"I've worked with lots of personal trainers...I've been very fit. I've been quite unfit..when I met Matt, I wanted to get back into shape again...He helped me by giving me lots of confidence, and erm, a healthy outlook towards working-out,...and he keeps things interesting and gets good results."
