Emma Bunton
Following a notice on their Web site that they would curtail their current tour early, the Spice Girls recorded a video message to explain their actions to their fans.
“We want you to hear it from the horse’s mouth,” says Melanie Chisolm in the clip. “We’re really sorry we’ve been unable to get to all the places we want.”
The reunion tour will conclude at the end of February due to “family and personal commitments” for Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria Beckham, read the online statement. The high demand for tickets in the U.K. and the U.S. made it “not possible to fit everything in,” including stops in Europe and Asia, they said.
“Sorry we haven’t got to see everybody,” chimes in Beckham. “We had a great time.”

EMMA BUNTON shook off her ankle injury to take to the stage for the SPICE GIRLS’ first U.K. concert in nine years - with the help of specially designed shoes by ROBERTO CAVALLI. The singer took a tumble during a show in Las Vegas on Tuesday and twisted her ankle but she was determined not to let the sprain prevent her from performing at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday. And fashion mogul Cavalli - who designed all of the costumes for the band’s world tour - was on hand to help Baby Spice get back on her feet. Bunton says, “Roberto’s absolutely amazing. He’s made me a pair of padded boots and a pair of soft sandals so I can get through the concert.”

Just seven performances into the group’s reunion tour, Spice Girl Emma Bunton took a tumble onstage at the Mandalay Arena in Las Vegas on Tuesday twisting her ankle. The incident which happened during the last US date on their gruelling reunion tour, has sparked fears that Emma won’t be able to perform back home in London. Bunton has been on crutches and in a cast ever since, and had to be assisted onto the newly-christened Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 jet - named Spice One - at LAX on Wednesday bound for London.
But Bunton insists the injury won’t stop her from taking the stage for the band’s first U.K. date on Saturday Dec. 15th at the capital’s 02 Arena.
She says, “Last night I had a tumble on stage and unfortunately I have sprained my ankle, so I’m hobbling around on crutches! I’m sure to make a speedy recovery and see you all at the O2.” A spokesperson for the star confirms the injury is “not too serious” and reassured fans “all will be well” for Saturday’s concert.
Em still joined the rest of the band to unveil a new plane - which has been named after them. So now you can take a ride in the Virgin Atlantic jet Spice One.
The girls said: “It’s fantastic to have a plane named in our honour.”

The Spice Girls are enjoying a new level of closeness thanks to their recent reunion, but some of them may wish it were even closer.
Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown has said (with some tinge of regret) “We don’t fight and we don’t share clothes…and we don’t sleep together.â€?
But not for want of trying. Posh (now known as Victoria Beckam) declared that Scary Spice has tried to get the others into a lesbian relationship. Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) added: “I’ve had to say ‘no’ so many times.�
Well, Scary Spice has moved on — even kissing two moms who go to her kids’ school. Now that’s what we call parent involvement!

It could have been the shimmering outfits - or the fact they are looking considerably older than when they first burst youthfully onto the pop scene.
But the Spice Girls were yesterday being dubbed the Golden Girls as they sang on stage together for the first time in nearly a decade.
Gone were the platform boots, the eye-popping outfits and the “accidental� flashing of underwear.
Instead the five women were clad in sleek gold outfits by designer Roberto Cavalli.
The five - made up of Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown - were said to have been nervous before their comeback gig in Vancouver last night, the first of a 40-date world tour.
A spokesman for the band denied suggestions that they were not singing live or that they used backing tracks.
He said: “All of the girls sang live.
“There is a click track for the band to keep them in time, which is standard, but all of the girls’ vocals were live.”
David Beckham made a surprise appearance, seeing his wife Victoria for the first time in three-and-a-half weeks after jetting back from New Zealand where he was on tour with his team LA Galaxy.
Posh Spice, who posed for her male dancers who were pretending to be paparazzi during the performance, confessed she was anxious about her husband seeing the show.
Mrs Beckham said: “David turned up today but he hasn’t been at any of the rehearsals because he’s been away working so I’m nervous about what he’s going to think about the show.
“He’s not even seen any of the costumes.”
He bought each Spice Girl a gold bracelet to celebrate the reunion.
Despite rumours of rows in the lead-up to opening night, the five held hands and embraced each other throughout the show, with Geri and Victoria going to great lengths to display their affection towards each other.
Geri, who had said in a press conference before the show that she might consider living in Canada, shouted out: “This is our first time back together and you’re the first to see it. We love Vancouver.”
Emma told the audience: “It’s great to be back.”
Mel C, who sang her solo track I Turn To You, was grinning throughout the set. Earlier she had spoken about being reluctant to do the tour when first approached.
She said: “I won’t lie about it - I was scared.
“I was nervous about it. But I feel there has been a change of feeling in the world.
“I feel the feeling for the Spice Girls has changed, and it’s been a natural thing.”
Last night their two-hour concert was set to include 22 songs and involve multiple costume changes.
Miss Bunton, 31, previously said the band was having the “best time�, adding: “It is very emotional to be back on stage together. It evokes a lot of memories.�
More than 15,000 fans watched on as the group were joined on-stage by a team of male dancers who dazzled the audience with breakdancing, ballroom moves and acrobatics.

Victoria Beckham led the new-look Spice Girls in a rousing comeback performance at the Victoria Secret’s lingerie show in Los Angeles last night.
Kitted out in military-style outfits the girls performed their hit ‘Stop’ as models such as Heidi Klum wearing rather less paraded up and down the catwalk.
The girls put on a show worthy of their Hollywood setting, treating the audience to two glamorous costume changes courtesy of Posh’s designer pal Roberto Cavalli, as they performed two songs including new single ‘Headlines’.
Judging by the applause, the audience - including Enrique Iglesias, Eva Longoria, Hilary and Haylie Duff, Hayden Panettiere, Slash and Jason Statham - loved it, and if anyone noticed that the girls seemed to be lipsyncing they were too polite to mention it.
The host of Simon Cowell’s American Idol show Ryan Seacrest said after the show: “I’m in love with Victoria Beckham, which is probably an issue for David.”
“They could have stood there and done nothing and I’d have been happy,” he said of the group.
“They were fantastic,” said one fan. “It’s like they’ve never been away and they all look simply stunning.”
Did the girls enjoy themselves? “It’s very emotional to be back on stage together, it evokes a lot of memories,” said 31-year-old Emma Bunton.
Nearly a decade after the five-member group became four — when Geri Halliwell left Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham — the Spice Girls reunited for a greatest hits album, released this week, and a world reunion tour, starting in Vancouver on Dec. 2.
Mel C admitted the girls were “nervous”.
She said: “It’s quite surreal, but everything has come flooding back, all of the songs, and being with each other and rehearsing together, it just feels very comfortable.
“We have got nothing to prove. We just want to come back and live out the good old days.”
Mel dismissed rumours of diva-like antics and in-fighting as a “load of c***.”
She said: “We’ve never been divas.
“Our reputation in the business is that we all work very hard and we know that we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for everybody who was involved in our project.”
Earlier this week LA-based Posh posted a new message on the girl group’s official blog giving fans an update on the reunion tour preparations - and a glimpse of how husband David and the boys are coping with her hectic schedule.
Posh wrote: “I’m currently sat in our rehearsal studio and I am about to have another fitting with the Cavalli team for our costumes.
“The other girls will kill me if I give anything away and I don’t want to ruin any surprises… but they look amazing! Roberto and his team have done us proud.
“Rehearsals are going really well, I can’t believe that there are only a few weeks until the first show in Vancouver.
“It’s really scary but exciting at the same time. “David and the boys have been laughing at me because I’ve been wandering around the house listening to my iPod and practising the routines.
“We are including some parts of the old routines but bringing them up to date a bit.
“All of the kids have been down to rehearsals. We have an area where they all hang out… its a Spice creche!
“My boys are so excited about the tour, they can’t wait and I’m really looking forward to them seeing me up on stage. I just hope I don’t get over emotional when I see them!”
Posh went on to plug her cameo appearance on hit US TV show Ugly Betty which airs in the UK later this month.
She said: “Ugly Betty was shown over here in the US on Friday, I had such a laugh filming it. If you’re in the UK then you will be able to see the episode on Channel 4 at 9pm on Friday 23 November.
“Friday is BBC Children In Need day in the UK and we will performing from LA. We will be doing two songs, our new single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) and also Stop - which is going to look fantastic.
“I can’t give too much away but it’s definitely going to be worth watching.”
And in other news, Scary Spice was voted into the final four of the US version of Strictly Come Dancing, and is one of the hot favourites to lift the Mirror Ball trophy.
She is joined in the last four by singer Marie Osmond, actress Jennie Garth and Indianapolis 500 champion Helio Castroneves.
Mel, 33, showed she hadn’t lost any of her scary ways when asked what she would do if she didn’t get through.
She jokingly said: “I’m going to beat them all up!”
Besides the spectacle of the reunited Spice Girls, there was plenty to see onstage at the Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards.
The Victoria’s Secret models, who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, sported a series of animal-inspired lingerie looks, as barely there bras and panties were accessorized with plumage, skins and antlers seen usually only in the Serengeti.
In a respite from the overload of skin onstage, singer Seal, outfitted head to toe in glittering silver, crooned, “You’re my angel, you’re my girl,” in a duet with wife Klum that culminated in a lingering kiss at the base of the catwalk.
The Black Eyed Peas’ William Adams, also known as will.i.am, started the show with the fitting rap hook: “Baby, where you get your body from?”.
Adams was a last-minute stand-in for hip-hop star Kanye West whose mother died earlier in the week.

t is a sexy new look that the Spice Girls desperately hope will show their younger pop rivals they can still compete in the glamour stakes.
Posing for a raunchy photo shoot, they want to prove to the likes of Girls Aloud that they are not past it yet - despite being ten years older than them.
Wearing little more than a bra and a bizarre skirt resembling a stack of lampshades, Geri Halliwell aka Ginger Spice boldly shows off her slim figure.
And Mel B, better known as Scary Spice, is also refusing to grow old gracefully with her decolletage clearly on show in a revealing bra.
But the sexy new look has been criticised by pop singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor who feels it does not fit in with their comeback single ‘Headlines’.
“I don’t like the video. I don’t understand why they’re singing in their underwear when they’re talking about friendship,” said the singer.
“It’s all about context. I’ve done advertisements for Monsoon [she posed nude] and spreads for men’s magazines but they are supposed to be singing about being friends - why do they have to be in their bra and pants to do that?”
Miss Ellis-Bextor beat Victoria Beckham to the number one spot with her single “Groovejet” when they both went head to head in 2000.
The pictures are from the spice Girls official tour programme. They are releasing their greatest hits album today.
It comes after it was revealed that stick thin Victoria Beckham is going on a diet ahead of the forthcoming Spice Girls Reunion Tour.
But the shock is that the diet will involve Posh actually eating more.
The 33-year-old – who maintains her 23in waist by eating steamed fish and edamame (soybeans) – has been told she has to increase her food intake if she wants to keep up with the strenuous dance routines planned for the tour, which kicks off in December.
The band is leasing a Boeing 757 they have nicknamed Spice Force One to jet them around the globe during their world tour.
The fuselage of the 757 will be adorned with official Spice Girls reunion artwork - and inside it will have facilities including a creche and make-up parlour.
The jet will transport the five girls - Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell - plus their families, management, wardrobe and make-up assistants and bodyguards.

Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell recorded a video message of support that was screened after Scary Spice’s latest performance on the hit TV show. Emma said, "Please vote because she's fab. We need her in - because then she's not with us." Mel danced the samba to her band’s hit, Spice Up Your Life.

Posh Spice Victoria Beckham has been snubbed by the other Spice members, given just four short lines to sing on the band’s comeback song, Headlines (Friendship Never Ends).
The Daily Star is reporting today that Posh’s four-line solo stint in the track lasts for little over fifteen seconds, with fellow Spicey Melanie Brown jumping in and hi-jacking her last line, turing it into a kind of impromptu duet.
Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell penned the new song, and both girls feature prominently, singing an entire verse each at the beginning. The two Melanies also sing a large portion on their own, leaving Posh to pick up the slack in the chorus and three measley solo lines.
A spokesperson for the band was quick to dispel any rumours of disharmony or jealousy between the girls, and stated: “The verses have all been shared out equally among the five members and they all sing together on the chorus.”
Maybe snubbing Posh in the song had nothing to do with jealousy over her larger celebrity profile and more to do with the fact that she’s always been the least-talented singer of the five? Perhaps the girls were just stating the obvious and heading back into the pop world with the strongest possible showing… and that includes having Posh’s solo hi-jacked by Scary Spice.

When the Spice Girls kick off their world tour at the end of the year, they intend to travel in style.
The band – not content with flying first-class – are leasing a Boeing 757 they have nicknamed Spice Force One to jet them around the globe.
The fuselage of the 757 will be adorned with official Spice Girls reunion artwork – and inside it will have facilities including a creche and make-up parlour.
The jet will transport the five girls – Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell – plus their families, management, wardrobe and make-up assistants and bodyguards.
“Spice Force One will be a flying palace,” said my source.
As well as the creche and make-up facilities, it will include a dining room, business centre, state-of-the-art bathrooms, a media centre and sleeping quarters.
“Along with the immediate entourage, the girls will have a team of chefs and nannies who will be on hand 24/7 to feed and look after all the VIPs on board.”
The eagerly awaited tour kicks off on December 2 and will see the girls visit Vancouver, San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Shanghai, Madrid, Beijing, London and Cape Town.
It is the first time all the girls will have appeared on stage together since Geri left in May 1998 – leading to the group eventually splitting in 2001.
In addition to Spice Force One, the band is also set to hire two further jets – dubbed Spice Force Two and Three – for their dancers, remaining staff, stage hands and equipment.
Sources say a budget of between £7million and £10million has been set aside to pay for the three aircraft.

He’s the son of a KGB spy, heir to a billion-pound fortune, friend of Elton John…and sure-fire source of publicity. So what DOES Geri Halliwell see in her new toyboy?
One warm summer evening in St Tropez, a gaggle of red-wigged models in matching Union Jack outfits are belting out a deafening and tuneless medley of Geri Halliwell’s hits.
Their performance has all the marks of a spoof of the unique vocal style of the former Spice Girl.
And there, beaming in the front row, is Miss Halliwell herself, apparently enjoying this musical homage.
Seated next to her is the man responsible for the night’s festivities, the 26-year-old Russian heir to a billion-pound fortune who is being described as Geri’s toyboy lover.
Dark-haired Evgeny Lebedev, voted London’s third most eligible bachelor in a recent poll by Tatler magazine, has taken charge of the singer’s surprise 35th birthday party.
As well as paying for this sumptuous event, he has, say friends, been bestowing breathtakingly expensive gifts on a delighted Geri. No wonder she’s smiling.
The couple, who were introduced by Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich, have been keen to put their burgeoning romance on display.
Meanwhile, Geri has been only too happy to show off her slimmed down figure by wearing skimpy bikinis. (Her yo-yoing figure is now a tiny size six; she has lost two-and-a-half stone since becoming a mother 14 months ago.)
At the same time, her “friends” have been telling anyone who will listen that Geri is desperate for a sister or brother for her baby daughter Bluebell Madonna.
Such fevered speculation, and those daily photo opportunities, have put Geri back in the spotlight.
The publicity of being linked to the famous Miss Halliwell has not exactly done any harm to the previously little-known but assiduously self-promoting Lebedev, either. (He is the son of former KGB spy Alexander Lebedev, one of the world’s richest businessmen.)
Witness their overly amorous display a month ago at a party at the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park.
The other guests were treated to Lebedev groping his laughing date’s bottom on the dance floor, before blurting out: “Are you wearing a thong, darling?”
The high-living Lebedev Junior, who is launching his own London restaurant and clothing firm with his father’s money, seems determined to place himself firmly on the capital’s social map.
In June, he and his father hosted a £1.3 million charity party at Hampton Court Palace, attended by Mikhail Gorbachev and Baroness Thatcher.
Guests were entertained by Elton John and the outrageous camp band the Scissor Sisters, whom Lebedev regards as personal friends.
And yet the flamboyant Evgeny does not seem typical husband and father material.
With a dandy-like taste in clothes, and a love of art and diamond jewellery, he persuaded his father, who is worth an estimated £1.75 billion, to buy him a stake in trendy British-based fashion house Wintle.
Friends say he is known for his generosity and can regularly be seen paying the bills of virtual strangers at Volstead, the 1920s-inspired hedonistic private members’ club just off Regent Street.
Leaving a London club on a date with Geri recently, he cut a colourful figure.
Wearing large sunglasses (although it was dark at the time), he sported two-day stubble and a shiny designer suit - the likes of which were last seen on TV series Miami Vice.
Lededev is not known to have had any long-term relationships. Given Geri’s inability to hold down one serious relationship in her adult life, this does not auger well for a life of domestic bliss.
Her most notable boyfriend has been 41-year-old Sacha Gervasi - the British-born former public schoolboy, now a Hollywood scriptwriter, who fathered Geri’s daughter Bluebell during a six-week fling in 2005.
Geri has, allegedly, stopped him seeing his child, however, and didn’t invite him to the star-studded christening in London in April.
Few who know Lebedev well expect this latest fling to be more than a passing fancy.
But then, as previous objects of Geri’s affections such as Robbie Williams and Chris Evans can testify, she tends to scare men off.
Friends say the woman famous for inventing Girl Power, with her Spice Girl companions, transforms from strong, demanding woman to doe-eyed doting little girl when a potential suitor appears.
“I know it sounds harsh,” says one of her circle, “but around men she is attracted to, Geri gets overly clingy almost immediately and frightens them off.
“If they hang around long enough, her puppy-dog phase soon wears off and she is back to being demanding again.
“Also, with all this talk of her desperation to have another baby, every man she meets feels he is being weighed up for his suitability as a father.”
Geri’s plans for more children will have to go on hold anyway until after the Spice Girls’ reunion tour, which starts in Canada in December.
She is said to have been the only group member to be asked to sign a contract which bans her from getting pregnant until after the 14-date, six-continent tour.
Not that she is in a position to complain, though, particularly as she was forced to go cap-in-hand to her former bandmates - most notably Victoria Beckham - as her own music career slumped.
Sources close to the five Spice Girls say Geri has been lobbying for three years to persuade them to reform.
It was only the prospect of playing to fans in the US - where Victoria is desperate to promote herself since husband David’s switch to LA Galaxy - that made Posh relent.
But despite the girls’ staged show of togetherness, insiders say the bitter rivalries that saw Geri leave the group in 1998 are as evident as ever, with Halliwell the focus of much of the feuding.
Sources say the towering egos of the former members - Geri, Victoria, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm - were in evidence when they made their announcement of the reunion in Greenwich at the end of June.
Each travelled separately to the event in their own limousines, with a retinue of up to 12 of their own PAs, press agents, make-up artists and hair stylists.
Meanwhile, Geri is said to be angry that, despite talk of a £10million payday for each girl, she will earn much less from a Greatest Hits album due out at Christmas than the other four, because she will not be entitled to royalties for songs the group recorded after she walked out.
Yet she is said to have signed up respected singing coach Zoe Tyler to make sure her much-derided singing voice is up to live performances.
The team surrounding the reformed pop group is also buzzing with rumours of tension between Geri and Victoria over Halliwell’s attempts to resume her position as unofficial band leader.
Even so, the reunion could not have come at a better moment for Geri, given the uncertain state of her career in recent times.
Her once successful solo career (she had four Number Ones of her own after quitting the Spice Girls) crashed with the release of her last album, Passion, in 2005.
The record was branded “embarrassing” by critics and sold fewer than 10,000 copies; while a single, Desire, reached only Number 18.
In desperation, she has recently written a children’s book, and done some television presenting.
She has been trying to remodel herself as a new Cilla Black, fronting a Saturday evening show where celebrities help members of the public who lack confidence.
Last week, though, ITV insiders revealed the idea had been quietly dropped.
In October, Geri closed her company, Waterfall Productions, after giving herself a final payment of £250,000 - a fraction of the £6.2 million-ayear she was earning with the Spice Girls.
Until recently, she has been staying rent-free in a house owned by her close friend George Michael in Primrose Hill, North-West London.
In the meantime, of course, as she waits for those millions to roll in, she can rely on the generosity of the big-spending Lebedev.
A friend of the Russian told the Mail: “I get the impression that they are both getting something out of it.
“They are equally keen to see their pictures in the papers, and Evgeny is generous to a fault with his friends.”
Given Miss Halliwell’s famous love of attention (not to mention all those expensive gifts), it sounds like a perfect match.

Victoria Beckham is clearly in charge of the Spice Girls reunion – she has reportedly insisted that rehearsals for their comeback tour take place in Los Angeles – the Beckhams’ new home. Mel B is also a Hollywood resident and Posh apparently only agreed to the reunion on the condition that preparations would take place Stateside. The move might not thrill two other members of the band - Emma Bunton will have to move to LA with a newborn baby, while Geri Halliwell will be bringing 14-month-old Bluebell with her. One insider said, “There was no way Victoria would agree if it meant she had to schlep back and forth to London.�
David has also signed a deal to have a film crew following his move from Real Madrid to LA Galaxy. Entitled the cringe-inducing David Beckham's Soccer USA, is said to be about his sports career, as opposed to Posh's programme, which will concentrate on her love of shopping.

Victoria Beckham has devised a strict diet and exercise regime for the Spice Girls to help get them in shape for their upcoming world tour.
Victoria is keen for her bandmates - Emma Bunton, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Mel B - to look their very best when they take to the stage in December, and has allegedly told the girls they should follow her healthy eating plan to shift any excess pounds.
A source said: “Victoria has told the girls her secret to getting in shape is 200 sit-ups a day and a diet of edamame soya beans, strawberries and lettuce. She is determined to make sure the reunion goes well because her image in America is important to her. She wants the girls to all look their very best, and says her diet is a guaranteed way of losing the pounds.”
The girl group announced they were reuniting last week for an 11-date tour and to release a greatest hits album.
The band will kick off the series of shows in Los Angeles, followed by concerts in Las Vegas, New York City, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires.

Victoria Beckham is so concerned over her image in the States that she is not only subjecting herself to a strict diet for the Spice Girl reunion tour, but she is urging the other girls to join in as well. Vics swears by her 200 sit up a day regime and diet of edamame beans, strawberries and lettuce. You know that Posh is mostly concerned about new mom Melanie Brown and the soon to be mom Emma Bunton’s curvy figures.
Image obsessed Victoria doesn’t understand that most of us would prefer to see a more grown up verson of the Spice Girls, baby bodies and all.

British pop sensation the Spice Girls have reformed after a seven-year split, and are in the recording studio putting the finishing touches on a song they hope will be this Christmas’ number one release.
Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton, aka. Ginger and Baby Spice, were snapped outside their former producer’s million-dollar mansion, where they’re said to be recording their new album.
Both Halliwell and Bunton were unable to contain their joy after completing their session, jumping up and down, hugging and giggling.
“It’s phenomenal news for them, and the girls are really excited,” a source close to the band said.
Sporty Spice Melanie C is said to have already recorded her parts, while LA-based members Melanie B and Victoria Beckham are supposedly flying to the UK this week to complete their parts.
News of the World have the exclusive pictures of the reunion, and if you’d like to check them out, click here.

Posh & Becks had a some kind of Spice Girls reunion in aid of his 32nd birthday the other day. They were joined in London's posh Cipriani restaurant by Emma Bunton, Ginger Spice and the goofy one. I'm guessing David played Mel B's part, the racist.

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham may follow in the footsteps of fellow Brit Heather Mills after she was offered a spot on US talent show Dancing With The Stars.
Beckham, formerly known as Posh Spice, will move to Los Angeles this summer as her soccer-star husband David begins his contract with LA Galaxy.
Beckham is reportedly taking the proposal “very seriously” as the media exposure is said to have enhanced Mills’ reputation stateside.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, “We are halfway through the series and it has been massive. A lot is down to Heather.
“We really want Victoria. She’s not very popular right now, like Heather wasn’t. That’s why she’d be perfect.
“Also, she might get pals like Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lopez to watch her.”
Beckham’s former Spice Girl bandmate Emma Bunton appeared on the original British show Strictly Come Dancing last year .

Emma Bunton, aka Baby Spice, and her boyfriend of eight years Jade Jones are epxecting their first baby. “I guess I will be handing over the ‘Baby’ tag now to a deserving little new owner,” emma said in a recent statement.
Bunton’s new baby will join the rest of the growing Spice Girl brood: Geri Halliwell gave birth to her first child, Bluebell Madonna, eight months ago and Victoria Beckham has three children: Brooklyn, 7, Romeo, 4, and Cruz, who turns 2 on Feb. 20. Oh yeah and Melanie Brown has Phoenix and an Eddie Murphy on the way.

The media is full of the antics of the Spice Girls, and now Baby has gone public with the first published photograph of baby son Beau. In this snap with long-time partner Jade Jones, Emma seems to be beaming, and the joy is evident in her blog post that invites everyone to ‘meet Beau’: “Hi everyone. So sorry for the wait, but here is our beautiful little boy Beau. As you can see from the picture he is a bonny little soul, and he makes us so happy, he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us. He’s 10 weeks old now and we can’t believe how quickly time flies. We’re all getting ready to go to L.A., we’ve packed his little bag with all his goodies. He’s started to sleep through the night now so mummy is getting some well deserved sleep before the tour : )

Mmm - matching tattoos, that's classy. We all know that the best way for slebs to advertise their love for one another is a quick trip to the tattoo parlour, and it seems that The Spice Girls are headed for Tattooland as we speak. Of course, the artwork designed will have a beautiful poignancy and significance that can only be best expressed by painful graffiti on the skin. David Beckham's tattoo artist has apparently been commissioned to come up with some such guff which features a circle with each of the girl's names and represents their journey. Each of their names? Their proper names, as no-one actually calls Posh Victoria surely? Are we going to have the Mel's written with initials or are we talking how their names would appear on their passports so as not to get confused? Maybe it could say Mel squared, like in maths - oh, such possibilities.
The official line is "the girls are all really keen to mark the momentous occasion, the only slight problem is that Mel C had sworn she would never have another tattoo. She's waiting to check out the final design before she decides. Emma will wait until she's given birth and is feeling up to the ordeal but they want to do it en masse anyway." So from that I understand that Sporty's not really interested (as she was rumoured to be with the reunion itself) and Emma really is a big baby.

Melanie Brown (the artist formerly known as Scary Spice) gave birth to a healthy baby girl just after midnight this morning, UK time. A spokeswoman for Melanie says, "The baby is completely healthy with a good head of hair. Mother and baby are now resting. No name has been decided on as yet, and she is purely known as Baby Brown." I think she should just keep the name as Baby, and make Emma Bunton the Godmother. Unfortunately for Melanie, despite the joy of bringing a second daughter into the world, she now has to deal with Eddie Murphy, who has claimed that he will demand paternity tests of the child. Oh happy day.
