Could this really be happening?

Yes, apparently it could be. And hey, it might actually work.

Melanie Brown (known forever as Mel B and/or Scary Spice) told Good Day LA that the ladies are currently working on a Spice Girls musical, according to PerezHilton.

They are apparently working with Judy Craymer, the woman who created the musical Mamma Mia!, which is based off of the songs by Swedish pop group ABBA.

While there are not many details yet, one thing is for sure: this guarantees lots of short skirts and high platform shoes. Um…when can we audition?

Posh Not On Board for Spice Girls Come Back

The Spice Girls are reuniting for a full-scale comeback, reports Perez Hilton, but Victoria Beckham, known to fans as Posh Spice, will not be joining her former bandmates in their efforts, saying she doesn’t have the “time or desire” to resurrect the pop group.

Sources say Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel C. plan to be on the road in a year’s time.

Bunton is reportedly still not sold on rejoining the group, either. “Emma is being cautious, but the minute she’s with the girls, they’ll talk her ’round,” said a source close to the band.

The girls are reportedly not worried about being able to cope without Beckham, who is married to soccer star David Beckham of the Los Angeles Galaxy. “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,” said the source.

Is Mel B A Liar?

According to PerezHilton.com, former “Spice Girls” member Mel B is a pathological liar.

Last week, Scary Spice told reporters that she’s been offered a role in the Broadway production “Legally Blonde” but a source close to the musical tells gossip columnist Perez Hilton otherwise:

“She has NEVER been approached by anyone associated with the production to join.”

Mel B’s publicist, however, says there has been a “misunderstanding.”

“She has in fact been offered the part of Paulette in the London West End production. The offer has been extended by James Hopson of Pippa Ailion Casting. James (on behalf of the producers) has pursued her over the past 2 months to the degree that they are now flying Melanie out to NY to see the Broadway production this weekend. I can assure you it’s an expensive trip as it involves Melanie and her family, so they are deadly serious about this,” says her rep.

Just last week, Perez was the first to break news on his site that Mel B was also lying about going on tour with Janet Jackson in the fall.

Mel B is eager to get her solo singing career back on track, and the former Spice Girl is determined to succeed.

“I’m not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now ten tracks in to my new record,” says Scary Spice.

According to gossip site PerezHilton.com, the pop star also revealed that she will be teaming up with Janet Jackson on a track on her upcoming solo album.

“I am doing something with Janet Jackson, which should be amazing. I am also going to hook up with Missy again.” Back in 1998, Mel B worked with Missy Elliot on her debut solo track “I Want You Back.”

Hopefully Mel B’s newest single and album strikes success. The singer’s last single “Today” failed to break the UK Top 40 when it was released in 2005.
