Singer Mel B said she trusts her husband because he doesn’t have the energy to cheat on her. The former Spice Girl, whose new reality show It’s A Scary World is about to debut in the UK, revealed why she thinks her hubby Stephen Belafonte will stay faithful. The 35-year-old told British Fabulous magazine: “I trust him to stay faithful because he’s so worn out he wouldn’t have the energy to do it with anybody else.” Stephen also revealed that the pair recently slept together on a flight. He added: “The other weekend, I think we set a world record, she literally had me tapping out till I had nothing left… “And we did it on a flight over to London recently, I won’t say what airline because I don’t want to get us banned.”
The first round of auditions for the X Factor kicked off today in Glasgow. On the judging panel sits regulars Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh. However, they aren’t alone as former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell will also be joining them to judge the contestants, filling in for Dannii Minogue. If Geri isn’t enough for you, she isn’t the only big named celebrity to look forward to as rumors are going around that Prince might also act as a judge on the show. I’m not holding my breath for that one though. I doubt that he will creep out of seclusion just to judge those less talented than him.
Lily Allen has dubbed her father Keith Allen “not a responsible adult” and “useless” for having left the family when she was only 4-years-old, according to reports.
“I feel I know that about him so I still want to have a relationship with him, so I make the effort to go and see him, I don’t expect him to come and see me just because I know what he’s like and there’s only so much you can say ‘Oh, that person’s useless’ because it’s pretty pointless,” the Smile singer is said to explain in an interview to air on Sky Arts.
The singer also lashed out at the Spice Girls, labelling them not “real” and declaring that S Club 7 made “rubbish” music, saying she was “irritated” by the pop culture of the past 20 years.
“I felt if I’m going to be a pop star I want to be a real pop star and I want to say real things,” the Express reports her as saying.
Seeing as how his American version of the X Factor is in the building plans, Simon Cowell is trying his best to bring on all sorts of interesting folk to join in the fun. Next on the list would have been Victoria Beckham for one of the judge?s seats, but the former Spice Girl apparently turned Simon Cowell down more or less. This is what a source related about Victoria Beckham?s refusal: “Victoria told Simon she needs time to think about it as she is so busy with her fashion work right now. Looking at her hectic schedule, some of the dates mooted could be problematic as David is away, so she wants to work from home and look after the kids. Simon is incredibly charming so who knows. they did have a long conversation and although Victoria thinks he will be too manic to commit, she loved her time on the Idol panel.” Well, that?s what you get when you ask a working mom to dedicate herself to a career. But Simon Cowell is probably going to find a way? he always does.
With talks of a tour and musical, all that?s left for the Spice Girls is some TV work and it looks like they?re heading that was too. According to reports, the members of the band are planning a reality/talent show to find versions of themselves for the Spice Girls musical. The band?s former manager and mastermind and owner of the Idol shows, Simon Fuller, is helping with the idea. A source said ?It’s a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs. The girls would have to work intensely on a TV show for a short period of time. But they then launch a musical which could run for months or even years. It will take on a life of its own. The concept could even be replicated in other countries. The sky is the limit with this one.?
The UK media is reporting that Victoria Beckham is in negotiations to be the next celebrity Pussycat Doll ? and there?s a good chance that she will be. The Pussycat Dolls spokesperson Alisa Boushey said that ?Victoria’s been in talks with the Dolls for some time and will be joining them onstage. She would have done it sooner, but it’s a question of her busy schedule. But it will be happening very soon.? If a deal does get inked, Victoria will join the likes of Christina Aguilera, Charlize Theron, Eva Longoria, Pam Anderson, Christina Applegate and Paris Hilton as celebrity Dolls.
The Spice Girls were upstaged on the last night of their world tour by Victoria Beckham’s young son.
The reunited girlband – Victoria, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C – performed their final concert in Toronto, Canada, on Tuesday night but it was three-year-old Cruz who stole the show.
The toddler showed off his breakdancing skills, including a head spin, during the group’s hit song ‘Mama’ – just as he had done two weeks earlier at their New York concert.
During the show, the girls spent a lot of their time hugging and kissing each other as they realised they may never perform together again.
An emotional Geri said: “This is the last night of the tour and we never dreamt we’d ever be back together and be such a success and who knows if we’ll ever get back together again.”
As they closed the show with ‘Spice Up Your Life’ all five enjoyed a group hug before leaving the stage for the final time.
If you didn?t catch the Spice Girls reunion tour during the majority of their dates in the UK or the US, all hope of seeing them has just been lost. Even though they promised to go to Asia, South America, Australia and wherever else, the ladies have now officially announced that they will be putting an end to their run after their last shows in the US this month.
The announcement was posted on their official website last Friday. According to the message, they?re cutting the tour short due to family and personal commitments. The girls said that ?We?ve had such an amazing time over the last 3 months. It?s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we?ve really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn?t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next.?
If you?re a Spice Girls fan, I have some good news and I have some bad news to share to all of you. Good news first. The British girl power group is adding several more concerts in America. But the bad news is that there?s now word on whether or not they will be adding shows elsewhere in the world.
I think they should. It just means more money to be earned anyway. Last I heard, Australia is offering nearly $5 million to each girl just to do 3 concerts in 3 Australian cities. You can?t tell me that the offer isn?t appealing. It?s $5 million!
Well they finally began their first tour together since 1999 and the Spice Girls appear to have pleased the crowd at the gig in Vancouver. With celebrity guests including Avril Lavigne and David Beckham as well as 15,000 teenagers, or women who were teenagers when the girls did this first time around; the show went without a hitch.Hang on didn?t Victoria ban David from attending? I assume she changed her mind. Maybe it was something to do with having very little confidence in the critics review. When a recent interviewer wished her luck, Posh replied: ?Luck? That
doesn?t matter, people will still say we?re s*** anyway.?
Charming! But maybe it?s not all wrong. The rumor in the music business is if they don?t fall out in the next three months then the quintet are likely to bring Spice Mania back with a vengeance. But bookies are already taking bets on who will be the first to put an end to all and walk out.
All I can say is, though its not my cup of tea, the girls have a lot of bottle; not only do they have to follow huge boy band Take That in the reunion success tables, but they have had very little rehearsal time for this. Girl Power and all that eh?
The Victoria?s Secret Fashion Show, apart from jiggling body parts and feathers, saw a lot of musical performances on Thursday. Too bad we have to wait for about two weeks to see it all.
Will.I.Am. opened the show by singing/rapping live. He did two songs including his current single ?Got It From Your Momma?. Seal also performed a couple of songs on the show. One even featured his model wife Heidi Klum. And she sang live too!
But we all want to hear about the Spice Girls right? The show was their first performance in nearly ten years. I say, they could have done better. The girls performed ?Stop? and their current single ?Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)?. Imagine, Heidi sang live but the girls lipsynched!
Maybe having some of her girls around last week gave her some good luck. Spice Girl Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, and her partner Maksim Chmerkovkiy danced the Rumba on the performance show of ?Dancing With The Stars? and garnered the first perfect score of the season.
The judges also gave massive props to the dancing duo. Bruno Tonioli said ?That wasn?t a dance, it was a cliffhanger.? Carrie Ann Inaba said that she was mesmerized while Len Goodman said ?That routine was perfected, inspected, dissected, and as far as I?m concerned it won?t be rejected.?
The Spice Girls have added three more dates to their upcoming reunion tour. The shows, in Vancouver, British Columbia (December 2); San Jose, California (December 4); and Shanghai, China (January 8), join a roster of 11 previously announced dates, with the Vancouver gig now serving as the tour’s opening night. This is getting bigger and better from the group. This is the fun in regrouping after a long time. You tend to feel there is so much that you have missed while being away that you add more dates to the world tour so as to be with each other for that wee bit longer, catch up on old times share good memroies and giggle on stupid mistakes that now sound so funny and ridiculous. There would be as much fun as on stage as there would be behind it and if things turn out as I think it would be then this world tour could be of the most successful events of the decade.
The band scored hits with Say You’ll Be There and Spice Up Your Life
The Spice Girls are widely expected to announce they are reforming at a press conference in London on Thursday.
It will be the first official public appearance by all five members since Geri Halliwell quit in May 1998.
By that point, the band had notched up six UK number one singles, and were in the midst of a 102-date world tour.
Earlier this month Mel C, better known as Sporty Spice, told that any reunion would be for “a very short space of time… a final goodbye”.
The singer added that she had resisted reforming the band in the past because “it was amazing, it was magical. We could never recreate it”.
The girl group are due to address the press at the O2 arena in south-east London at 1200BST (1100GMT).
A notice announcing the event said the band would “make an official announcement to the world regarding future plans”.
It is rumored the group are planning six live shows around the world with gigs in London, Tokyo and Las Vegas, to support a greatest hits album which comes out later this year.
The band’s management company, 19 Entertainment, has already registered the internet domains spicegirlsofficial.com and spicegirlsofficial.net.
19 is run by Simon Fuller, who masterminded the group’s global success more than a decade ago.
According to one of the latest gossip rumors going around, the British quintet known as the Spice Girls will be announcing their reunion next week. Even the first girl to leave, Geri Halliwell also known as Ginger Spice is said to be on board for the groups multi-million dollar return. The deal has been in the making for many years and no expense is to be spared to make their reunion one of the biggest and most welcome in history. The girls have turned down offers in the past so the amount of money they are being given for this reunion must be pretty huge. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out considering most of the ladies are now mothers and wives. Baby Spice herself is set to give birth any day now. That will most likely add to the time fans will have to wait to see the Spice Girls together again live and on tour. But if the deal really goes through then a slew of fans may be overjoyed. That is, if they have not already long forgotten about the Spice Girls. With newer and bigger fish in the Hollywood Sea, only time will tell.
