Stop! Right there! Thank you very much. It’s true, the biggest girl group of the nineties are making a comeback – or they’re reuniting anyway.

Melanie Brown, a.k.a. Mel B (a.k.a. Scary Spice) has revealed during a recent interview on Australian television that the girls are definitely getting back together this summer. But it won’t be for the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony…

“I think the Queen’s Jubilee concert is the event I’d be looking at more closely for that to happen,” the 36-year-old said before catching herself blabbering too much and quickly changing the subject. But according to The Sun, Brown told TV crew members backstage: “I am going to be in such strife for saying that. It’s all so totally bloody top-secret still.”

Expect them all: Victoria “Posh” Beckham, Geri “Ginger” Halliwell, Emma “Baby” Bunton and Melanie “Sporty” Chisholm.

“I’m always down for a Spice Girls reunion,” Brown said. “I love the Scary hair and platforms. Any time of day or night I’ll be there.”

It’ll mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 60-year reign at at the Diamond Jubilee on June 4th – the audience will include Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The girls had a successful comeback tour in 2007, but ended up cutting it short due to “family commitments”.

Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton Swap Baby Advice

Those Spice Girls really look out for each other!

In a recent interview with Hello! magazine, Emma Bunton revealed that she and fellow ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham swap baby advice on a regular basis following the births of Bunton’s son, Tate Lee Jones, in May, and the birth of Beckham’s daughter, Harper Seven, a few weeks back.

“As soon as we can possibly meet up, we will. But for the moment we’re making do with emails,” Bunton told Hello! magazine. “We’ve been swapping bits of advice and photos and sharing our excitement.”

It’s so nice to see the Spice Girls are still close with each other! It definitely fills the void that has grown in every Spice Girl fan over the years since their break. In fact, Bunton’s fellow former Spice Girl members were the first to send flowers after she gave birth to Tate, with little notes and all. “That is always special to me, to get those from the girls,” Bunton said.

“The relationship we girls have will always be special. Now our kids are friends too and as they grow, it will be wonderful to watch them all and the different stages in their lives,” continued Bunton. Who knows, maybe their kids will form a group of their own one day! Can you say Spice Girl Juniors, anyone?

Celebrity pinup couple Victoria and David Beckham have given birth to a baby girl (well Victoria did at least). The baby popped out Sunday morning in Los Anegeles, reports PEOPLE.

The baby girl has not been named, but she is weighing in at 7 lbs., 10 oz.

“Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family,” says Beckham spokesperson Jo Milloy.

If her parents are any indication, expect to see the unnamed baby on a runway in 15-20 years.

Victoria Beckham is due to give birth today in Los Angeles. This will be the fourth child for her and husband David Beckham.

The child is apparently a girl, reports UK’s Daily Mirror. The couple already have three boys together - Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn.

Unfortunately due to Victoria’s c-section, don’t expect the young Mom to be wearing anything too revealing in the near future.

Victoria Beckham and husband David have asked Eva Longoria to be the godmother of their new daughter, reports Digital Spy.

The couple are due next month, and have chosen the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star as the godmother among other friends like Gordon and Tana Ramsay and Heidi Klum and husband Seal.

Brooklyn and Romeo, their two sons, have famous godparents as well – Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley. Talk about lucky kids.

“Victoria ran it past David and they both want Eva,” a source told The Sun. “She’s extremely honored.”

Longoria is a long time friend of Beckham, and is reportedly thrilled over the news. ”She’s very loyal and very, very funny. Everyone loves her,” Longoria says of Beckham.

Boy, do I wish I was a child to a famous person. I’ll take Britney Spears as my godmother.

David and Victoria Beckham Expecting a Girl

David and Victoria Beckham are welcoming a baby girl into their family, a source tells Perez Hilton. The two stars have three boys, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, but will welcome their first daughter into the family. I have no doubt in my mind that Victoria will dress her in Chanel and Prada baby clothes.

David made the announcement at an LA Galaxy press conference on Friday, March 11. Earlier, on Wednesday, David made a visit to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and said his wife is feeling good in her fifth month of pregnancy.

“She’s great, she’s very healthy. She’s feeling good. She’s in London at the moment working,” the Daily Mail quoted David. ”We’re very excited. It’s an exciting time for the family,” he added.

I’m so happy that they got a girl, I’m betting they really wanted one to balance out their three younger boys. Every parent says “oh, it doesn’t matter what sex it is!” but I know they are lying. Victoria, without a doubt, wants a little girl to dress up and go shopping with. I can just imagine the luxurious and brand-filled closet that little girl will have. Either that, or the daughter will be a true daddy’s girl and be into sports. Then, she will have the best coach to help her improve her game. So either way, it’s a win-win for this baby!

Victoria hardly looks pregnant, though. I mean – she’s in her fifth month of pregnancy and has only the slightest bump (if you can call it that). I don’t understand, does she not eat? Is this pregnancy a scam? Put on some weight, posh, it’s in style to have a belly during pregnancy!

The Sex of the Bun in the Beckham Oven is Still Unknown

Victoria Beckham is denying reports that she knows the sex of her forthcoming child.

The former Spice Girl has openly announced that she has no idea whether her next child with David Beckham will be a boy or a girl, but she seems excited either way.

When asked what the Beckham children thought of her pregnancy, Victoria said “They’re excited about having a little brother to teach how to play soccer. But, if it’s a girl, we’d be over the moon as well.”

Beckham added that they may decide to leave the baby’s gender as a surprise for labor.

A boy would be delightful, but we’d love to see a little baby Posh Spice running around!

Victoria Beckham is Pregnant!

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and her soccer star hubby David had some happy news to announce this weekend. They’re pregnant! Again!

“David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to confirm they are expecting their fourth child in the summer,” the couple’s rep announced. “Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz are very excited about the arrival of their new brother or sister.”

And what flawless timing! The baby announcement must be a happy break for David, who’s been receiving lots of negative press regarding his alleged extramarital activity. Beckham has been accused of sleeping with a prostitute, who was quickly sued by Beckham’s crack legal team, and with a married woman, whose millionaire husband cited the affair in their divorce proceedings.

We sure hope all’s well in Beckhamland and that this new baby isn’t a last-ditch effort to save the high-profile couple’s marriage.

Victoria Beckham on Glamour: I’m not a supermodel, Stilettos hurt

Angelina Irinici — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:29:20 +0000

Glamour Magazine chose none other than fabulous Victoria Beckham to grace its March issue cover. Formerly known as “posh spice” of the Spice Girls, Beckham is now known for her staple sky-high heels, oversized shades, and her husband the international soccer stud, David Beckham. Although she may look glamorous on a day-to-day basis, Beckham insists that is not always an accurate portrayal.

People.com reported on Beckham’s exclusive interview with Glamour. “I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself,” she told Glamour. “When I dress a certain way and do my hair and make-up in a certain way, it’s not to get attention. I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.”

Beckham even admits that the old saying “beauty is pain” can be true, especially of her signature stilettos, “Absolutely they hurt. I’m not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don’t mind. I will suffer. I don’t wear heels everyday, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.”

Being such a style icon, the 35-year-old started her own fashion line called “dvb” in 2006, after designing jeans for denim brand Rock and Republic. She has had much success with “dvb” and has expanded her line to include handbags and shoes. Even celebs have fallen in love with her line. It has catered to the likes of stars such as Drew Barrymore, Blake Lively and Paris Hilton.

The mother of three says she is getting back into denim with a spring jeans collection. “I’m such a perfectionist,” she tells Glamour, of taking a few seasons off from designing denim. “I’ve worked really hard [with my team] to get it right.”

This collection was focused on the silhouette of the jean. “Long, slim legs. Really good design. I’m not saying that you’ve got to be a stick to wear them. You can be all different shapes and sizes,” she explained.

Glamour’s March issue will be on newsstands Feb. 4, with a full interview from Victoria Beckham herself.

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.

Mary J. Blige will sit on the American Idol judges’ panel for auditions in Atlanta, Georgia, reports Perez Hilton.

“The judges and production team have been having a lot of fun with Victoria,” said a source for the show. “She’s had a great response so far, and has been really warm with the contestants.”

Season nine of the Fox reality show will premiere in January. Paula Abdul, who has judged alongside Cowell and Jackson since season one, will not be returning to the show.

Victoria Beckham Meets Spongebob?

Victoria Beckham will reportedly make a cameo appearance in the hit cartoon “Spongebob Squarepants,” joining the ranks of such past celebrity guest stars as Johnny Depp, Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie.

The ex-Spice Girl recorded the voice-over for a princess character in Los Angeles late last year, according to the Daily Mirror.

Beckham, who has turned her attentions from making music to heading her own fashion empire, was apparently persuaded to take part in the show by her four-year-old son, Cruz.

A source told the Mirror, “She isn’t interested in becoming an actress, but voice-over work is something that appealed. She joked that she could simply rock up to the studios in a trackie and no make-up and no one would ever know.”

The source added, “Scriptwriters created the role of a posh British princess especially for her and were blown away by what a natural she was.”

The episode featuring Beckham is expected to air during an hour-long special this summer.

Posh Spice Forbidden To Discuss Diets with Katie Holmes

Tom Cruise does not want Victoria Beckham to discuss diets with his wife Katie Holmes.

The “Mission Impossible” actor has asked the former Spice Girls star to remain quiet about diet and food, because of concerns that Holmes was getting too thin. “Tom was firm but polite. He said that, although he understood Victoria thought she was only trying to help Katie to lose weight after Suri’s birth, he didn’t want her swapping any more diet tips with Katie in future,” said a source close to Cruise.

Beckham is known for her slender figure and is doing the best she can to refrain from discussing food whenever the she is with Holmes.

“She hasn’t mentioned food and diet once around Katie since then. And when they’ve been out for meals together, she’s made a real effort not to comment on what anyone’s eating, and to try to order more food herself – even if she doesn’t touch it once it’s on her plate.”

David Beckham Reveals New Tat

British soccer stud and underwear model David Beckham revealed a hot new tattoo on Sunday.

Fans were puzzled as to the meaning of the ink scrawled down his left side. Beckham’s rep revealed to PageSix.com that “The tattoo is written in traditional Mandarin Chinese and is an old Chinese proverb that says: ‘Death and life have determined appointments, Riches and honors depends upon heaven.’ David got the tattoo while the L.A. Galaxy were in Hong Kong for their pre-season tour of Asia.”

Beckham and his Spice Girls wife Victoria have several tattoos, and have even been inked together.

Beckham wrote about the meaning behind his tattoos in his book, “David Beckham: Both Feet On the Ground.” “Mine are all about the people in my life, my wife and sons, who I want to have with me always,” he said. “When you see me, you see the tattoos. You see an expression of how I feel about Victoria and the boys. They’re part of me.”

Victoria Beckham Says She’s Thin From Diet, Not Disorder

Former Spice Girl Victoria “Posh” Beckham says she’s thin because of her diet, not because of an eating disorder.

The super skinny wife of English soccer stud David Beckham insists she isn’t suffering from a disorder like many other thin Hollywood starlets are.

“I eat really healthy, I love Japanese food, lots of fish, any sort of fish, any sort of vegetable, lots of fruit, that kind of thing,” said Beckham during an appearance recently on a BBC Radio program.

“I think there’s a big difference between someone having an eating disorder and someone who is controlled about what they eat. There’s a big difference, and every now and then of course I go out and eat what I like. But I do try to be quite disciplined in the way that I eat.”

After taking heat for her thin appearance, friends have gone to People magazine to say she “eats healthily” – yet, “she doesn’t exercise at all.”

The woman formerly known as Posh Spice is plotting a major comeback with a new TV show.

After the dissolution of the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham has seemed fairly content to let her soccer-star husband, David Beckham, take much of the celebrity spotlight. But that soon may change.

The BBC reports that former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller is working on a reality-influenced fashion show for Victoria.

“It will be more serious than a reality show but will still be entertaining because Victoria is so funny,” he said in an interview with Broadcast magazine.

The 46-year-old, who created the “Idol” talent show phenomenon, is also working on getting another ex-Spice Girl back in the spotlight. He says that Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton has approached him about a TV show.

“Emma wants to get into TV,” he said. “She went to drama school and it’s in her blood. We’re going to give her a shot.”

No word yet on when either show will hit the air.

Beckhams Win Rights to Nanny Tape

Posted on andPOP:

David and Victoria Beckham have won the right to hear tape recordings of interviews given by their former nanny Abbie Gibson as they prepare for a court battle.

A London judge ruled they can hear tapes of Gibson speaking to reporters during interviews on April 21 and 25 of this year.

The judge approved the Beckhams application for pre-trial disclosure of the documents, following a day long hearing.

“The issue whether it was in the public interest for the disclosures to be made requires full information as to the extent and nature of the disclosures,” the judge said. “In addition, it may well be that the tapes will be relevant to the question whether Ms Gibson should have appeared to the journalists as being a credible source of information about the claimants.”

The couple’s high-profile case against the News of the World is set to start on December 5, when they will refute allegations printed in an article titled “Posh and Becks on the Rocks”. The article claims they are “cynically and hypocritically” trying to present a false image of their marriage to the public.
