Thanks Sam.

Fashion designer Donatella Versace will be designing the Spice Girls' reunion tour outfits. Her designs for the girls are supposedly quite risqué. A source says:

"Donatella was a big fan of the girls back in the day and as soon as she heard that a reunion was on the cards she submitted her ideas. There will be several different 'looks' for each of them and the clothes will be worth over £200,000. She wants the girls to retain their band personas but in a much less obvious way than before. Mel C won't be wearing ill-fitting sportswear - instead she'll have a really sexy wardrobe. Emma Bunton will wear stunning, elegant dresses with a playful touch. Donatella thinks they look better than many bands half their age and should show that off."

-= Rumor Warning =-

"I always felt in my heart the reunion had to happen and it was the right thing to do. Having said that, we haven't been together for many years, and so when we put up the availability to register to come and buy tickets, you don't know, maybe two people want to come [to see us], maybe lots. [3 million ticket registrations is] amazing and outrageous and beyond what we could have imagined. Of course that is, phew, it is very affirming and lovely to have that feedback. I feel very optimistic and positive. The point of this is to be a very fun experience and obviously the feedback that we have had is amazing and I think that the support and the encouragement from the world is almost like helping us to make this happen."

Victoria recently said to the The Sun:

"I've been calling her [Geri] Brilliant Spice because she has been so great at sorting everything out. Melanie C will be in charge of choosing our band, and I’m sure I’ll have something to do with our costumes."

"Why not Vancouver? We've got so many incredible fans there so we want to come over and say thank you. I just remember fans being really great, really friendly. They've always been so supportive and we just, we love Vancouver. We think it's a great place... we want to come back and we want to see more."

Emma Bunton and her fiance Jade Jones think their upcoming baby is going to be a girl. The couple did not want to find out the sex of their child in advance. Jade has told The Sunday Mirror that the couple is:

"convinced we're having a girl because we try and pick names and its girls' names that stand out. The baby is going to have my name and then I want Emma to have my name."

-= Rumor Warning =-

Melanie B sure sounds like a great mother.

The Beckham family is sending their dog, Twiggy, to Doggy School so that it will be house trained before it can move into their new L.A. home. Victoria said:

"Twiggy's in quarantine for the next six weeks. I’m not that keen on having the dog in the house at all but the boys love it. As soon as it gets here I'm going to send it to a boot camp for dogs as it keeps peeing and pooing everywhere."

Victoria will be playing Tinkerbell in an upcoming movie.

Spice Up Your City!!

Hi Everybody!

WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! We are so excited about the fantastic response that we have had from everybody registering to come and see us on tour. It means so much that people want to see the 5 of us together again on stage.

Now for some really cool news! We’ve had loads of messages from people all over the World asking why we weren’t performing in their Country. It’s impossible for us to perform everywhere but we thought why not let our fans decide where we play? This is your chance to turn your City in to “SPICE CITY”! All you need to do is tell us where you want to see us!

The City with the most votes will become “SPICE CITY” and we’ll definitely come and play there as part of our tour. It really is up to you to decide which City becomes “SPICE CITY” so get voting!

Lots of love

The Spice Girls' upcoming reunion tour, which was scheduled to have 11 dates, supposedly already has 14 more dates confirmed but their locations and details not released. Additionally, there are rumors that the girls are being pressured (primarily by Simon Fuller) to double that number of dates and do 50 shows. This is attributed to high demand for tickets, with over 2 million people registering for tickets at the girls' official site. The girls want to do a huge tour but are unsure of the expansion to a full 50 shows due to family responsibilities as well as Mel C and her solo career.

-= Rumor Warning =-

There's some video of the two leaving the luncheon over at TMZ, and here are some pictures:

Thanks Michael Holden.

Damn!! Did Mel B get a boob job too? Also anybody who can get the video downloaded please send it to me as my methods don't seem to work with the TMZ site.

The red carpet was rolled out for the event, which featured a giant tower of chocolate cupcakes and is said to have ended at 1.40am.

"Mel C told us how they [Spice Girls] dealt with their fame in the U.S. It was useful to hear. They were always in danger of being mobbed so they'd jump on their tour bus to travel a couple of meters to their private jet instead of walking."

Geri has signed a contract with Spice Girls reunion management stating that she will not get pregnant during the reunion. She was the only one asked to sign such a contract. The contract was supposedly presented to her due to her being "loved up" with her new boyfriend Evgeny Lebedev, and talking about how she wants a sibling for her 14 month old daughter Bluebell Madonna. She was the only one management was really worried about getting pregnant at this time. Some sources say that she was either very upset that she was the only one asked to sign such a contract, and had to be calmed down by the rest of the girls, while another source says that "Geri is happy to sign anything that backs up her commitment as, even though she wants a baby, this reunion comes first."

"We've loved every minute so far. I can't see us going back. I already feel so much happier being in Los Angeles. This feels like a whole new start for us as a family. We can leave the negative stuff from Spain behind. The four years there weren't always easy. In Spain we didn't have much of a social life, whereas here we have got loads of friends and it just feels right. No one ever really came to visit us in Madrid, whereas everyone seems to want to come out here to see us. I was really nervous about David seeing the new house for the first time, but he loves it and so do the kids. David has no regrets. He's got a whole new challenge here in LA and that's what drives him. The decision to move here was very much about what would be good for the family and the boys have been so excited about it. They are getting ready to go to summer camp and make friends with kids from school."

"The fact is, David and I are very boring people. We don't go out much. A lot of the time we are at home watching telly and putting the kids to bed. I had to laugh recently. We were at Demi Moore's house with Ashton Kutcher and Penelope Cruz for dinner. We ended up playing dominoes, hardly rock and roll."

"I don't care. I'm not here to break America. My job is to support David and sort the kids."

"By all means, sit up in the box and eat a prawn sandwich before the game, but then come down and be with the people."

Another member says:

"What better way to see the Galaxy than with us? She'll have the time of her life."

No word yet whether Mrs. Beckham has accepted the offer.

Correction to: "Coming To America" Gets Bad Reviews

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have teamed up with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith to throw a welcome party for Victoria & David Beckham. The party will take place this Sunday at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles. A source tells the New York Post:

"Invitations went out all over Hollywood. They where printed on red velvet with tacky gold lettering [and read] 'Please join Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith in welcoming David and Victoria Beckham to Los Angeles.'"

-= Rumor Warning =-

Pfft.. this is a rumor off a rumor.. Paris Hilton supposedly said to one of her friends: "I just know Victoria and I would get along, we could be soul mates.", and when hearing of this Victoria said to a friend:

"Over my dead body! We couldn't be more different. You won't catch me falling out of nightclubs with no knickers on."

Site News: Logo Contest Update

Melanie B is planning to marry her boyfriend, film producer Stephen Belafonte, whom she has been friends with for 7 years. The two have been dating apparently since before Mel B's split with Eddie Murphy. The Sun claims that Melanie B said "He's the love of my life and I'm going to marry him." She also told "a friend":

"Stephen's been a godsend. Eddie hasn't been in touch once since I had the baby, it's unbelievable. But Stephen has been a tower of strength. Stephen's got a much bigger cock [than Eddie Murphy] as well!"

-= Rumor Warning =-

Any man that gets to bang Mel B is in a damn good position, I say.

The show has generally recieved negative reviews in the press, with some outlets saying that the show has "bombed". The New York Post gave it zero stars and described it as "relentlessly self-promoting", additionally describing the show as:

"an orgy of self-indulgence so out of whack with reality that you'll sit there slack-jawed at the gall of these people who think we're that stupid. If this weren't a one-shot deal and people were exposed to her vapid, condescending behaviour on a weekly basis, she'd not just be unwelcome in America, she'd be run out on a rail - whatever that means." "Excuuuuuuse me, but enough already with Posh and Becks, or Pish and Tush or whatever's the name of these over-hyped, over bleached Brits who came to take the colonies by storm."

The prestigious New York Times described Victoria as "somewhat famous for being sort of famous and is photographed a lot in Britain." and also said:

"She does appear to be pleasant and not without a sense of humour but that isn't quite enough to carry viewers through an hour of house hunting, sunbathing and applying for a driver's licence. There has to be something going on behind the scenes because there is no other way to explain so much time and videotape spent on the moving arrangements of Mr Beckham's wife. If she can retain viewers past the first commercial break, then the results will be conclusive: either there is a vast, media-controlling conspiracy afoot, or there is no such thing as celebrity ditz-fatigue."

-- July 21st: Corrected placing of show (from third to tying for second). Thanks Michael McBride.

Personally I found the show to be very boring, and it was really rough to get through it to the end. If I wasn't in this position, I would have turned it off probably half way through. So, the SpiceNews review is also negative.

"I don't know about that. I'm sure they will all have a nice hotel somewhere. It's great for them to be celebrating the success they had many years ago. I'm going to enjoy it. I know my boys are looking forward to seeing their mum on stage."

"I've been working out really hard and dieting like crazy and it's finally coming off. I feel great. I can't wait to go on tour in December, things are going so well at the moment. I couldn't be happier."

Sorry, didn't work out with the embedded flash video for the Victoria show as mentioned below, maybe next time. You'll just have to take the XviD for now if you can't watch the NBC site's stream :-)

Sorry, I would have had this encoded one up way earlier but I got totally messed up in my encoding software :X

Victoria and David Beckham are planning to open a global chain of exclusive nightclubs, starting in LA. "A source" tells the Daily Mail about the clubs:

"They will be modeled on London's Soho House but more dynamic and exclusive, places for A-listers to mingle. It's a perfect way to establish themselves among top showbiz society in America. Her main focus is the Spice Girls' reunion. But she also wants to extend Brand Beckham in LA and she has great ideas for a club in the city where Hollywood glitterati can unwind without being hassled by the public."

"Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills cock. I'd spit in his food definitely. I'd chop his dick off too."

If you do not have the XviD codec (if it doesn't play), get it here (It should take you less than a minute to download & install).

That Victoria show looks pretty funny. If you're not familiar with the DMV (where she visits), read this, as it was portrayed very accurately thus far in the Victoria special, especially with some of the freaks you are likely to encounter there.

"Ooh that would be interesting. Yeah, that would be quite funny actually. Who knows?"

The reporter also asked if Girls Aloud feel threatened by the return of the Spice Girls, to which Kimberly said:

"We are doing really well at the minute so we don't feel threatened at all. They were amazing and I think it will just be good fun to see them back together."

"It's everyone's responsibility to limit the damage we're doing to our planet. But clearly, some celebrities feel they don't count. While we have events like Live Earth to raise awareness, many stars are still taking huge liberties such as using private jets. Even small steps can help us cut down our carbon footprints - like turning off lights, insulating our homes or switching to greener energy. Let's just hope the Spice Girls have to rethink before they fly in the face of good advice."

Geri at Live Earth huh?

According to The Sun newspaper, the Spice Girls will announce next week that they are adding Brazil to their upcoming world tour. Brazilian parliment even got involved in the ordeal, questioning the overlooking of large Brazil while having a date in rival Argentina. A source tells the paper:

"Everybody in the Spice camp has been bombarded by Brazilian fans demanding the band bring Girl Power to Brazil. Doing Buenos Aires and not Rio would be a massive faux pas. One of the dates is definitely going to be Brazil."

-= Rumor Warning =-

I think this should pan out, as I thought it was weird that they would do Argentina and not Brazil.

Geri is now dating a 26 year old man by the name of Evgeny Lebedev. He is Russian, a heir to a billionaire fortune, the son of a former KGB agent, and voted the third most eligible bachelor in Tatler magazine (UK).

The two have been on several dates and an onlooker said: "They looked very much together all night and were whispering in each other's ears."

-= Rumor Warning =-

British newspaper The People is reporting that one of the new Spice Girls singles is a studio version of "Woman", the song the girls performed as a 4-some on tour back in the day, but recorded with Geri in the vocals. The song will include the lyrics:

"The early years were a lesson, now we know what's going on, this time we're strong in our feats, and now we are industry players."

-= Rumor Warning =-

Thanks EmilyStrange.

Wow, what a disappointment that would be.

"We are so excited about America. We want to embrace the culture with open arms, this is a big, big deal for us."

awesome!!

The Spice Girls are planning to all get the same tattoo, a symbol of their journey together as friends. It was mostly Victoria's idea, and she has asked her (and her husband's) tattoo artist, Louis Molloy, to come up with some designs based on a circle comprising of all the girls' names. Mel C has sworn she would not get another tattoo, but is waiting to see what the final design looks like to make the real decision. They will wait until Emma delivers her child and want to get the tattoo all at the same time.

”This isn't a reality show, it's a documentary about me. It's funny. People really get to see what I’m really like. I have quite a dry sense of humor, which I hope is going to translate to Americans. I'm incredibly blessed and I wanted to show that to everybody. I'm just a normal girl from London living quite a surreal life.”

It will be rerun on Bravo on Thursday (July 19th) at 11pm and Friday (July 20th) at 7pm.

"I must be the only person in Los Angeles who doesn't want to be in films. I had a lot of fun doing the documentary but I wouldn't say I'm going to be the next TV star. We'll see what people make of this. We (Spice Girls) are not starting out again. We are not making a new album. We are celebrating the past. I want my kids to see mommy up on stage doing what I used to do. I am excited about the tour but I am certainly not using this as a springboard to launch any form of solo career."

"They are probably going to realise that we are actually quite boring and that we don't do that much. We stay in a lot as a family and there are so many famous people in Los Angeles who are much more famous than myself and David. We're going to be quite low-key."

Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell is still fighting her bulimia. According to The Sun newspaper, she made a visit to West End’s Life Works facility, a place that deals with eating disorders and addiction.

-= Rumor Warning =-

"Hello. How are you? I've missed you! Hello in the back, you alright? Can you believe I'm getting back together with those girls? What am I thinking, right? *laughs* Well, I have to be honest, I hadn't thought very much about climate change at all until I became a mother. And what with this freaky weather, well I can't really ignore it, can you? No. So, I really feel that we have a responsibility for our children to make a difference and really take it seriously. But, as well as that, it's an absolute honor to be here today, and, I know this is a bit cheesy but, I tell you what I really really really want, *ooohhh*, is to introduce a legendary band. They've been going much longer than the Spice Girls, over 20 years. They have a song called "Planet Earth". You may have heard of them. It's Duran Duran.

There will be a therapist going on tour with the girls according to the Daily Star Sunday. A source told the paper:

"This tour will be massive and record bosses do not want anything getting in the way - least of all the girls themselves. They want Girl Power to come back in style, not end in arguments between the girls. So taking a therapist along to smooth out any problems makes sense."

"The therapist will be available any time the girls need someone to talk to so that any disagreements do not get out of hand. It would be a disaster if any of them walked out mid-way through the tour."

-= Rumor Warning =-

According to an article in Entertainment Weekly, the girls are working on recording new material right now. A representative for the group says that "Four or five new tracks have been worked on," and that the girls are waiting to see "if everything's right" before deciding whether to include the new songs on the Greatest Hits album.

-= Rumor Warning =-

Rumor warned it even though Entertainment Weekly is a reliable source because maybe the rep got the number of songs wrong or something. But very exciting if true.

"I'm unbelievably excited. I've been worried for such a long time that I might not be able to be a mom. I thought, 'I've been so bloody lucky in my life that maybe not getting pregnant is payback.'"

Victoria has been signed for that cameo role previously reported about on Ugly Betty. She is signed to appear in two episodes, getting about $70,000 per episode.

-= Rumor Warning =-

When on break in her relationship with Jade Jones, her current boyfriend and father of her child, Emma Bunton has had love affairs with Justin Timberlake (in 2003 after his release of his debut album), Robbie Williams, and soccer player Rio Ferdinand. She chose her men carefully, making sure they weren't the type to kiss-and-tell.

-= Rumor Warning =-

Melanie B is the poorest of the Spice Girls. The Sun newspaper reports:

"She spent so much money in the course of doing it that she now has very little left of the millions the girls all earned. Mel bought a huge house in the country which she had decorated with garish leopardskin. The matching his 'n' hers leopard-print toilets were so ghastly they put potential buyers off buying the place. She struggled to sell it on and was forced to knock down the price. But Mel was very generous with her family and friends. She bought them houses and was constantly on luxurious holidays with her entire family and 50 friends. She always picked up the bill."

A source close to Mel B says:

"Mel was really generous with all that. She often took stylists, hairdressers and entourage on holiday with her and she paid for the lot. It felt like she was on one big holiday when the band split. She just went all round the world staying at fabulous places." All this spending combined with her lack of a prenuptial agreement with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar (having had to hand over a large portion of her fortune to him, buy him a house, and court-ordered financial support) has made Mel B the poorest of the Spice Girls.

-= Rumor Warning =-

-= Rumor Warning =-

Max Beesley, who she dated for 2 years starting in 2000, apparently told a friend:

"She's so rampant she leaves me exhausted."

Ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar said:

"She changed from being the unadventurous sexual woman when we first met to absolutely rampant and demanding."

A reporter for a new story in The Sun says:

"She is a real man eater, it is as if she is addicted to men and sex and she always had to have a boyfriend. Sometimes they even overlapped. She was spotted kissing DJ-turned actor Goldie at London's Ivy restaurant while still married to Gulzar."

An inside source at the time said:

"Mel and Goldie had sex. They were both bang up for it. He went round boasting that they were at it so much that Mel could hardly walk for days afterwards and damaged her back."

-= Rumor Warning =-

Nothing wrong with a healthy sexual appetite!! Well... maybe if you're hurting you're back then..

• 58% believe Victoria actually has 32C breasts.
• 25% believe Victoria actually has DD or bigger breasts.
• 12% believe Victoria's story, that she actually has 32B breasts.

Here is a full listing of all the artists/videos in the game.

"Victoria is keen and so are we. We can see her fitting in as a cameo."

"It took me a long time to recover from the whole experience that was the Spice Girls. I had put pressure on myself to look a certain way. I found it hard to feel worthy of what was happening because it was so incredible. I went to the gym constantly and trained constantly. I wasn't eating properly. I wanted to get as perfect as I could knowing that perfection is impossible and that got me very sick. I was underweight and my image was unhealthy. I was living off adrenaline and wasn't taking care of myself. There were kids who were looking up to me. I want to rectify any of the damage I caused. I got so thin when I wasn't eating my periods stopped and my bones became very fragile. I may have done permanent damage."

"We're all in our 30s so it's time to be focusing on family. The old clock is ticking. I'm happy with my situation but I want to be a mum and I'd like more than one child. I hope I'm still in with a chance."

Victoria had been a secret social smoker for years, though her spokesperson says that she quit when she was pregnant with her third son Cruz, who is now 2 years old. Victoria recently said:

"I can find better notes now, and David hated me puffing away too."

"Everyone keeps going on about my tits, but they're only a 34B."

Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell apparently begged Posh Spice Victoria Beckham to let her back into the group. It was not difficult for Geri to convince the other girls to let her back in, but Victoria was a roadblock. An "inside source" told England's The Sun:

"Geri began getting in contact with Victoria again in 2004. She knew how hurt Victoria was but she also knew how to push the right buttons. Geri broke down in front of Victoria, apologised for leaving the band in the way she did and begged for her forgiveness. She also told Victoria how awful her life was at the time. She was lonely, confused, didn't have a man and didn't even have a place to call home. Victoria started to feel sorry for Geri" ...and eventually decided to let her back in.

-= Rumor Warning =-

10 apps/sec seems a bit unbelievable, but who knows..

British tabloid newspaper News Of The World is reporting Spice Girls infighting and promoters' struggle to keep them together. The article claims that on the outside the girls appear happy and excited, but that they have already started to fight with each others as there are too many egos in the group, especially now. Mel B allegedly refused to meet the girls at a hotel the night before the reunion announcement, instead opting to meet up with her boyfriend, and also showing up late to the girls' appointments, with Mel C apparently becoming upset enough to be asked to be seated away from her for the press conference. Geri pissed off the other girls by greeting fans first instead of waiting for the girls to come out at the same time as planned. Victoria is upset by Geri stealing the spotlight. Geri also apparently caused a high amount of tension when she saw Mel B's baby, Angel, and remarked that she looks so much like her father (Eddie Murphy), which almost caused Mel B to blow up, the other girls looking onward terrified. Oh, and Mel C wants to do interviews alone. Promoters are trying to not have all the girls in the same place at the same time for now, or having it occur as little as possible so that nothing bad happens before the reunion tour.

-= Rumor Warning =-

Sounds like some intense, serious-assed bullshit, as the article also claims Emma as not being supportive of the reunion, HAH. Stupid.

Hello!
29 Jun 2007

Hi,
Hope you are all OK? Sorry I havent updated my blog for a while but I've been so busy preparing everything for my happy arrival (or should that be nappy arrival!). Not long to go now!
Oh, and there is the small matter of the Spice Girls getting back together. I know, I cant believe it either, I have really wanted to tell you all and it has been so hard not revealing the good news. I am so excited about being back with my best friends again, we had a really good time at the press conference yesterday, it bought back all the wonderful things we have shared.
Today we are at our first official photo shoot as a group and its brilliant. There are so many people here but once we get into the swing of the shoot we will forget about them and start to concentrate on the photos
Anyway I'd better go, Melanie is trying to nick my Ribena!
Speak to you all soon
Lots of love
Emma

Victoria told the other girls that she got in shape is by doing 200 sit-ups per day and eating a diet of edamame beans, lettuce, and strawberries. Furthermore, she has advised the other girls to follow this regimen so that they are all in fit shape for the reunion tour.

-= Rumor Warning =-

British television stations BBC & ITV are apparently in a bidding war for the rights to the documentary.

Thanks EmilyStrange.

Ah yes, nice to see that she still is the good ol' Baby Spice!

• The girls talking about possibly recording new material.

• They will be performing songs from Forever on the tour.

• Stating that the purpose of this reunion is for the fans and to give the "proper goodbye" that they never did.

• The girls are open to adding more shows if there is enough demand.

• Mel C getting back at Daily Mail reporter Richard (Littlejohn?) for his article stating that the girls will be using new technology to make their voices on tune. The satisfying exchange occurred after Richard identified himself to ask a question:

  Mel C: I've got a bone to pick with you Mr. Daily Mail.
  Richard: Yes?
  Mel C: Was it your article yesterday about that new technology that we're using to make our voices on tune?
  Richard: That's correct, yeah
  Mel C: What.. a load.. of shit.

  She was followed up by the other girls critisizing the Daily Mail's articles about them in general.

Thanks Michael Holden.

I guess Victoria's fake titties got her a lot of pictures taken/circulated.

Hey everybody!! We're back!! Can you believe it!!

Girl Power is back and stronger than ever. What are you waiting for.....

They will, however, be releasing a greatest hits album to coincide with the tour, as well as a tv documentary. Rumors are already circulating that if the tour is successful, new material could follow, but Mel C has strongly stated in a recent interview that she does not want to record new Spice Girls material. In response to questions about her previously strong resistance to getting back together with the group at all, Mel C said: "A girl's allowed to change her mind. This is something that we've only seriously started discussing this year. We wanted to say thank you to our fans. It just feels very right for us."

The girls made some humerous comments regarding their old wardrobe. Mel B: "I will be wearing leopard skin and Geri will have her Union Jack dress on." and Mel C chimed in with "I want to wear my tracksuit again. I will be going down the market looking for a shell suit." Though there was some seriousness mixed in as Mel C then said "Hats off to our characters." Victoria added: "We didn't know what we would all be wearing, but we look the same as we used to. We still have the same images and they haven't really changed."

The girls are rumored to be getting cool few million dollars each for this tour.
