I would so see Spice Girls again. They could have another reunion for 2011? I want them to bring out a new single/albulm but I suppose they are mostly busy being mum's or working on their own projects. Their tour which I saw them in London in December 2007 was immense! Better than when I went to see them live 11 years ago but that was when Geri was not in the band.

Spice Girls plan reunion – without Posh

JUST when the SPICE GIRLS outfits were safely tucked away in the loft, it's time to start digging them out again.

MEL B, with the help of her fella STEPHEN BELAFONTE, are masterminding a full-scale comeback.

I say full-scale but one member of the line-up is resisting the invitation.

VICTORIA BECKHAM has made it clear to the girls she won't have the time - or desire - to uproot her family again for more fun and games with her old pals.

But Mel B, MEL C and GERI HALLIWELL are getting together next week regardless, with fellow bandmate EMMA BUNTON. Baby is a little reluctant to commit to going on the road but the others are sure they can talk her round.

A source said: "This time next year at least four of the five girls will be back on stage doing the Spice material again.

"Both the Mels and Geri are the driving force behind making it happen.

"They have agreed to meet up again next week and thrash out their plans for the future of the Spice empire.

"Emma is being cautious but the minute she's with the girls they'll talk her round. When Geri left the first time, she was arguably the band's biggest star.

"If they coped without her, they are confident they can make it work without Posh."

But the popularity stakes have changed since the Nineties. Posh was definitely the star attraction on the 2007 tour.

I revealed a couple of weeks back that Mel and Stephen had discussed a one-off Spice Girls appearance at the World Cup in South Africa next summer.

It sounds like the response has encouraged talks about another big comeback.

I went on tour with the girls to Toronto and Las Vegas.

It was a right old laugh and I reckon there's a bit of mileage in the old Spices yet. But next year is far too soon.

In ten years, the novelty factor will be far better and the cheque fatter.

I'd pay for my nippers to go to see Mel B in her catsuit at 50 when the toned tum is more "lardy Leeds lass".

No Posh is such a shame. She should join them.

Bunton: No Spice Girls reunion

Emma Bunton has shot down rumours of a Spice Girls reunion.

The chart-topping girl band were reported to be getting back together after Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell and Emma were photographed on a night out in London, and Mel B hinted that they may perform at the launch of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

But Emma insisted otherwise, writing in her column for Now magazine: "Despite what you may have read, there's no truth in the rumour that the Spice Girls are reuniting to launch the World Cup next year.

On your bike Mel

Singer rolls up to hotel on two wheels

MEL B has ditched designer frocks and limousines for jeans and a push bike.

The former Spice Girls singer, 34, rolled up to Mayfair hotel The Dorchester with husband Stephen Belafonte in tow.

The pair breezed through a few laps around Hyde Park on their matching blue fold-up BMX's before heading back to the hotel.

Mel, who is more used to being snapped in designer gowns, looked exhilarated as she whizzed past photographers in jeans, trainers and a red checked shirt.

Emma Bunton to judge 'Dancing On Ice'?

Emma Bunton is planning to become a judge on Dancing On Ice, reports say.

The News of the World claims that Bunton has been asked to replace Ruthie Henshall, who decided to leave the show in the summer.

"She's about to sign the deal," an insider said. "She's a brilliant signing. She's fun, sexy, and very opinionated. She'll add some much-needed pop glamour like Cheryl when she joined The X Factor.

"Emma does have great dancing experience because of her time in the Spice Girls and did very well on Strictly."

Former Dancing On Ice star Roxanne Pallett recently said that the show's producers should recruit Arlene Phillips.

Spice Girls: The Musical!
Geri Halliwell has big plans to bring the band's story to the stage

The Spice Girls are set to launch their own musical in London’s West End.

Singer Geri Halliwell wants to bring the five girls’ rags-to-riches story to life on the stage in a two-hour “pop extravaganza”.

And her former bandmates, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Mel B and Mel C, are all reported to support the idea after a secret meeting at London’s top restaurant Nobu.

The news comes just days after Mel B revealed that the famous five had something big in the pipeline and hinted at a major comeback for the group.

Although Scary Spice wouldn’t be drawn on what the plans entailed, she spoke of her excitement, saying: “It's really, really exciting. I can't wait to be singing with the girls again!

“We are definitely going to be doing something together again soon. We're actually working on it right now.”

According to a source close to the band, Geri wants to cast five unknown actresses in the lead roles to play each Spice Girl.

I actually think a musical with their music would be fantastic. As long as it isn't called 'Spice girls: The music'

'Spice up your life' would be a good title.

Mel C: Don't expect another Spice Girls reunion

Mel C has dismissed talk of another Spice Girls reunion.

Sporty Spice told GMTV the girl group are far too busy to get together again, despite talk of a gig at next year's football World Cup in South Africa.

The chart-toppers were reported to be getting back together after Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton were spotted on a night out in London.

Laughing off the rumours, Mel C joked: "Oh yeah, we always meet in very public places to discuss very private matters.

"Melanie was in town, Geri was around, Emma and I are often here, and we just thought we would get together and have a girly night.

"I'm in a West End musical for six months, Emma's doing her radio show, Victoria's doing her fashion line and Geri's always busy."

Mel, who gave birth to her first child, Scarlett, in February, revealed motherhood has been a real shock to her system.

She said: "It's everything everybody says.

"It's wonderful, incredible and very difficult. But, all the great things outweigh all the tough bits.

"I just think the early days are so exhausting. It's really, really hard work."

Talking about her West End debut in the musical Blood Brothers, Mel said treading the boards is harder than her time in the Spice Girls.

"After having a child, this is the biggest challenge of my life," she said.

Mel C: 'No Spice Girls plans'

Former Spice Girl Mel C has denied reports that the band are planning a second reunion.

It had been reported that the '90s girl group would reform for new live shows after the singer was spotted on a night out with Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell.

However, Mel C told Metro: "We were just catching up, there was no business talk. There are no plans to do anything.

"One paper said four of us would get together, but that's not true. I'd love to work with the girls again but I'd only do it if all five of us were involved."

New reports have suggested that the members of the girl group want to front a reality TV programme to pick stars to play them in a musical based on their career.

My god I have some simalar stories later.

And this says about Victoria joining them.

Victoria Beckham's charitable son



Victoria Beckham is "delighted" her son is undertaking charity work.

Brooklyn Beckham - the star's eldest child with husband David Beckham - visited poverty-stricken state Kentucky with Save The Children after learning about the state at his exclusive school in Los Angeles.

The 10-year-old youngster played soccer with children at Manchester Elementary School and presented them with shoes and backpacks, before joining in with an after-school reading group.

He and Victoria then went to read with children at nearby Big Creek Elementary school.

Victoria said: "I'm pleased Brooklyn is learning that by helping and joining other children he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet.

"Seeing Save the Children's innovative programmes in action, I know that we can begin to reverse the childhood poverty crisis."

As one of the poorest counties in America, Clay County has high illiteracy rates and obesity in children is a massive problem.

She added: "What I saw in Clay County was the hope and promise inherent in every child.

"That's why we have to make sure every single child has a fair and equal start in life."

The former Spice Girls star was said to be "thrilled" when Brooklyn said he wanted to accompany her on the charity visit.

A source said: "She thinks it will help Brooklyn keep his feet on the ground."

Victoria and David - who live in upmarket Beverly Hills - have two other sons, Romeo, seven, and four-year-old Cruz.

Victoria Beckham : Posh to start her own modelling agency?

Victoria Beckham is joining hands with her manager Simon Fuller to start their own modelling agency, according to reports.

The former Spice Girl, who already has her own successful fashion label, is reportedly in talks with Fuller to set up a new business venture in New York.

“Simon knows that Victoria is very savvy when it comes to fashion. His first foray into fashion was to team up designer Roland Mouret and Victoria, which was a huge success,” Contactmusic quoted a source as saying.

“Victoria is a key asset to Simon and he wants her to take on a major role,” added the source.

Simon – who was the manger of Spice Girls – already has a 51 per cent controlling stake in London agency Storm Models and wants something similar in the US.

GERI HALLIWELL'S HAIRDRESSER SURPRISE

Geri Halliwell's new hairdresser was amazed when she greeted him wearing just her underwear - because she thought he was gay.

Geri Halliwell greeted her hairdresser wearing just her underwear.

The former Spice Girls star had hoped to bond with her stylist and reportedly answered the door to him wearing just her bra and pants because she thought he was gay and swiftly changed her behaviour when she realised her mistake.

The unnamed hairdresser told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "She presumed that because I'm a hairdresser I'd be gay. Well I'm not, I love ladies.

"The sight of her standing there in her bra and knickers was embarrassing, so I told her to get dressed so I could focus. She was then embarrassed too and once she'd got her clothes on, she was quite rude.

"I started to feel really uncomfortable being in her home. Not surprisingly, she never called me back. A week later, I found she'd hired my gay friend."

While Geri, 37, has struggled to bond with her hairdresser, other stars don't have the same problem.

Jessica Simpson and her stylist Ken Paves - who previously worked together on a range of hair extensions - have been close friends for years and are regularly seen enjoying evenings together.

Last year, Ken was rushed to hospital after he was hit in the face by a photographer's camera following dinner with Jessica.

Kate Moss is also close to her hairdresser James Brown and featured heavily in a recent documentary following the crimper as he set up his own salon.

However, the supermodel was said to have been furious with how frequently she appeared, causing friction in their friendship.

Bunton: 'My son loves Mel C's daughter'

Emma Bunton has revealed that her 2-year-old son Beau loves Mel C's daughter Scarlet.

The former Spice Girl, who is in a relationship with Beau's father Jade Jones, said that they regularly hang out together with their children.

Bunton told Bang Showbiz: "I had dim sum at Mel C's with Mel B this week. While us girls had a chat, Beau spent the time hugging Mel C's little girl Scarlet. He absolutely loves her!"

Mel C also said that she is fascinated by her 9-month-old baby with Thomas Starr, saying: "I'm constantly astounded by her. I could stare at her for hours. I find it incredible to think that she's part of me and Tom. It's impossible to explain how life-changing motherhood is."

She added: "Looking after a baby is the hardest job in the world. Doing the day job is a bit of a rest! I thought that I'd worked hard before - I lived on so little sleep in the Spice Girls - but nothing could have prepared me for being a new mum. It totally wiped me out."

Spice Girls - The musical



The long rumoured Spice Girls musical has finally been confirmed. Unlike the trend of musicals based on established artists such as Queen, Rod Stewart and Take That, the show will not just feature their songs around a fictional story but will actually be more closely based on the story of the Spice Girls. How Posh, Scary, Ginger, Baby and Sporty came from nowhere to the biggest girl group in the world.

The show will be called 'Viva Forever' - named after their 1998 number 1 single. It will feature 14 of their biggest hits. The script is currently being written by manager Simon Fuller's brother Kim Fuller. It's not the first time that he has been involved with the girls. He also wrote the screenplay for the one and only Spice Girls movie 'Spice World' - released in 1997.

The first Spice Girl to leave the group, Geri Halliwell has been heavily involved in the project and is set to turn her hand to producing. The singer turned author will be an executive producer to the show.

'Viva Forever' will be launched in London's West End on November 5th, 2010. Depending on the reaction that the opening receives, the show is likely to go to Broadway and then tour around the world.

In the meantime, Mel C is currently starring in her first musical, Blood Brothers in London. She is the first of the girls to star on stage, and plans to work on a new solo album. Mel B has had a busy year with her burlesque show and TV work, whilst Emma Bunton has her own radio show, and Victoria Beckham has her own clothing range and perfume.
