I dont even know where to start with the updates… so maybe i should start talking about the reunion rumours.

All started with Brian Litrell saying the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys could tour together, wach on 0:30:

I love the Backstreet Boys, i would love if they toured together, but WITH Victoria. If Victoria is not included, then i am not interested (i am just being honest). But Emma already denied it:

Sorry! You heard it here first from @EmmaBunton – the @backstreetboys won’t be touring with the Spice Girls. – @HeartLondon

And then there is an article at the Daily Star saying Mel B is plotting the reunion, but its the Daily Star you know.. it means bullshit. Just in case, here it is.

The Seven Network had secured Spice Girl Melanie Brown as a judge for this year’s series of the The X-Factor but was told she could not come to Australia because of issues with her children’s fathers, a Sydney court has heard.

Seven’s director of production Brad Lyons told the Supreme Court today that the network “really wanted” Mel B as a judge for the third year running on the successful talent show.

Seven has taken Mel B to court claiming she has an exclusive agreement with them in Australia after it was announced she would be moving to the Nine Network to become a judge on Australia’s Got Talent.

Justice David Hammerschlag has granted an injunction preventing Mel B from appearing on any Australian TV network other than Seven until January 31 next year, pending the outcome of the case.

Mr Lyons told the court he agreed with Mel B’s husband and manager, Stephen Belafonte, that Mel B would not take part in the network’s Dancing With The Stars but would do the X-Factor for an “increased amount” of money.

“I know Mel wasn’t happy on that show,” Mr Lyons said of Dancing With The Stars. But he said she was a “very good judge” on The X-Factor.

”… She was a judge in 2011, 2012 and secured for 2013,” Mr Lyons said. “She was a very good judge. That’s why we exercised the option to have her return. She is outspoken and a big international star.”

However, in a phone call in January this year, Mr Belafonte told Mr Lyons they were having visa problems with the other fathers of Mel B’s children, the court heard.

Brown is mother to Phoenix, from her first marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar, and four-year-old Angel from her relationship with ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy.peMr Belafonte and Mel B have another daughter, Madison, together.

Mr Lyons said Mr Belafonte told him the two other fathers were not happy with Mel B residing in Australia for such a long period.

“(Mr Belafonte said) we’re fighting custody battles in LA and London. It’s looking increasingly likely Mel will have to live and work in LA.”

In a phone call in February when confirming Mel B had to live and work in LA, Mr Belafonte told Mr Lyons: “There’s no way the kids or their fathers are going to grant forms to get visas so Mel can’t come and work on the X-Factor.”

Mr Lyons said he was “pretty upset” at this news, but that he told Mr Belafonte, “We’re not going to tear her away from her kids”.

When Mr Belafonte confirmed to him in February this year that Mel B had to stay in LA, Mr Lyons said he told him, “Maybe … we can look at a way we can factor her into the X-Factor”.

Mel B is planning a shock return to the UK… and hopes to bag a permanent job on The X Factor judging panel.

I can reveal the singer has started to look into schools for her children in London and is planning to move her entire family back here after more than a decade living abroad.

Mum-of-three Mel, 37, who was recently in the capital for the launch of Viva Forever!, has been told by X Factor bosses she stands a great chance of sealing a deal to replace ­Tulisa Contostavlos or Nicole Scherzinger on the show after becoming a big hit with viewers.

She’s also facing pressure from daughter Phoenix, 12, who is best friends with Meg ­Mathews daughter Anais and wants to go to boarding school with her pal in Hampshire.

A source close to Mel told me: “She’s ready to come back. All her obligations in Australia, where she’s been living for two years, come to ­completion at the end of January. Phoenix really wants to be in the UK and Mel’s getting signs that things are going to work out with The X Factor. The thing about Mel is she goes where she’s wanted and where the work is. And if that’s the UK then so be it.”

It sure would help rumoured plans to get the Spice Girls back together. But from what I hear there really isn’t much of a plan at all.

Geri Halliwell wants another reunion and has been rounding up the girls. But Mel C’s on tour with Superstar and will be abroad for much of the year, Emma Bunton has just signed to Heart FM on the breakfast show for a year and Mel’s likely to be on The X Factor. Time for Gezza to calm down… at least for now.

Mel, who is married to film producer Stephen Belafonte, told me recently: “I’m not going to lie – I have no idea where the future will take me.

“I quite like not knowing what’s going to happen, where I’m going to be or how I’m going to do it. I love grabbing different ­opportunities. I’m very lucky.” She sure is.

Im just posting this because they mention WWD as their source, and WWD is very reliable (but it could be bull too, who knows lol)

Victoria Beckham, don’t look! David has reportedly purchased two pairs of deluxe silk pyjamas for his fashion designer wife’s Christmas present.

The fashion forward thinking football player and model is rumoured to have ordered the luxury sleepwear from London’s high end department store, Harrods.

And according to WWD, David made the call this week, placing an order for two pairs of Olivia von Halle pyjamas.

The English born designer has taken inspiration from the lounging yet chic pyjamas of Coco Chanel and 1920s contemporaries in creating her sleepwear line.

Olivia’s unique height-based sizing system of the silky sets means they not only fit beautifully, but they’re tailored to be flattering on the figure too – so Vics can look like a superstar while she sleeps as well.

Prices for a pair of these timelessly chic sleepwear sets start at £260 and are sold in Harrods and Fenwick in London, and Nancy Meyer and Faire Frou in the US.

Geri Halliwell has been giving Rylan Clark advice ahead of tomorrow night’s (10.11.12) ‘X Factor’.

The former Spice Girls singer is a big fan of the controversial contestant so has given him some tips for an Olympic-themed performance for the ITV1 show’s Best of British theme.

A source said: “Geri has been giving Rylan tips this week. He has been rehearsing with Spice Girl dancers, so he met up with Geri to pick up some Girl Power moves for Saturday’s show.”

Rylan was in the bottom two last week and while he is determined to stay on the show as long as possible, he knows he could go at any point.

Speaking at the launch of the Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins at London’s Aqua bar last night (08.11.12), he told BANG Showbiz: “I’d love to stay but when my time comes, it comes. I won’t be complaining. I just want to enjoy it as much as possible.”

He also said he loves working with his mentor Nicole Scherzinger and insists there’s no hard feelings between him and Gary Barlow.

He added: Nicole is absolutely amazing, she’s so supportive and so much fun. She’s brilliant. Me and Gary get on well, there’s no problem between us.”

The Spice Girls’ reunion for a major TV documentary was expected to be emotional and, after a decision to include their mothers in filming, that proved to be the case.

I’m told Victoria Beckham’s mum, Jackie Adams, spent over an hour in front of the cameras with her daughter in London recently, recounting never-heard-before details of the group’s rise to fame.

But that proved traumatic for bandmate (and sometime rival) Mel B, who has not spoken to her mother, Andrea, in four years following a bitter family feud. She broke down while talking on camera about what happened for the first time.

My Spice insider reveals: ‘The girls’ mums are such a big part of their story it was necessary to include them in the documentary. That obviously was going to prove very difficult for Mel B whose troubled relationship with Andrea is well documented.

‘She made the decision to record a very emotional interview talking about the row. It was very difficult for her and there were a lot of tears. We haven’t decided if it will be used in the programme yet.’
The ITV show, expected to be a key part of the channel’s Christmas programming, marks a rare public appearance for Victoria’s mother Jackie, who avoids publicity.

All five ‘Spice Mums’ were last in the spotlight in the band’s video for the 1997 charity single Mama.

Much of the filming for the programme took place as the girls rehearsed for their performance at the Olympics Closing Ceremony in August.

It will also follow the opening of their highly-anticipated musical Viva Forever, which opens in the West End next month.

First of all this is a rumour, and a rumour i actually dont believe, especially coming from the Daily Star, so don´t get your hopes high:

The Daily Star reports that Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell would be getting back together to perform on December 11.

According to the tabloid, the former bandmates are in ‘secret talks’ to play at the launch night of the West End musical.

Geri Halliwell is rumoured to be dating Russell Brand according to The Sun. Remember Geri confirmed to Hello Magazine she has been dating someone lately but she didnt mention who the man was. Here is what The Sun had to say:

Russel Brand has dumped his girlfriend to Spice up his love life with pop star Geri Halliwell. The comic fell for Ginger Spice at Olympics closing ceremony rehearsals.
Smitten Russell and Geri are sharing a “very serious” romance, close pals have revealed.

The 37-year-old funnyman — recently divorced from I Kissed A Girl singer Katy Perry — ditched American beauty Isabella Brewster earlier this month so he could be with new flame Geri.

The couple have since enjoyed a string of dates, including a tour of Hampton Court Palace with Geri’s six-year-old daughter Bluebell Madonna over the weekend.

One close pal of Russell said: “Things are getting very serious between them — they’re a proper couple now. They had met several times in the past, but really got to know each other during the Olympics. People thought Russell was joking at the time, when he said he had a crush on Geri all over again, but it was true.They just clicked — they have so much in common. He is spending so much more time in London just to be with her.”

Russell fell for 40-year-old Geri as both rehearsed for their roles in the glittering closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. And the pair were seen laughing and joking as they held hands during their private guided tour of Hampton Court last Saturday. Greg Oram, 37, from Herefordshire, was at the historic venue with his family.

He said: “I thought it was the most random thing ever to see Russell Brand of all people in a place like that — until my wife pointed out he was with a Spice Girl. They seemed like they were having a really great time, holding hands and chatting — it was 100 per cent obvious they were a couple. Geri was holding his hand the same way I hold my wife’s. It was so cute.”

Another close friend of Russell said: “He ended his relationship with Isabella Brewster, and is now dating Geri properly.They’ve exactly the same sense of humour and are serious about clean living.”

Ex-junkie Russell won his drink and drugs battle a decade ago and Geri has cut out booze. Russell had reportedly been planning to move in with Isabella.
But he met up with Geri as she and the rest of the Spice Girls prepared for the Olympics finalé.

Russell said after the bash: “I’ve got a crush on Geri Halliwell — everything in the world is how it should be.”

Victoria Beckham may be more used to dining at swanky Hollywood haunts, but the designer proved she’s not above a meal at good old Pizza Express earlier this week, when she was spied at the pizza chain’s Loughton branch with her family.

But although Mrs B treated the whole table, settling the £115 bill with crisp cash, she forgot to leave a tip.

Whoops!

Luckily, staff at the Essex branch, it ‘didn’t matter’ that Victoria forgot to pay gratuity, as she’s a regular customer, and ‘always nice’ to workers.

According to onlookers, the the Victoria arrived for dinner on Monday with David Beckham’s mother, as well as six children, and – unsurprisingly – dined on not pizza, but a bosco salad.

‘Victoria came in on Monday night with six children and David’s mum,’ a restaurant supervisor told the Sun. ‘She paid £115 for dinner in cash. She’s a very good customer and comes here regularly.

The insider continued: ‘She loves having bosco salad — warm garlic mushrooms, baby mozzarella, avocado, roasted tomatoes, spinach, rocket, balsamic syrup, honey and mustard dressing with warm doughsticks.

‘She’s had other salads before, but never pizza — she wouldn’t eat that.

Of Victoria Beckham’s tipping mistake, the source added: ‘She didn’t leave a tip, she didn’t leave anything. I gave her the receipt and she gave me the money exactly, £115. But it doesn’t matter.

‘She’s a good customer and is always nice. You give her something, she always says please and thank you.’

Well that we’re glad to know.

The Spice Girls are reportedly rehearsing today (August 2) for a London 2012 Olympics show.

Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton are together in preparation for a live set, Sunday Mirror columnist Dean Piper claimed on Twitter.

“So the Spice Girls are all together rehearsing for the Olympics RIGHT NOW in London.#itsonbitches,” he said.

“Pretty bloody exciting! #spicegirls. I’d like a Spice medley!!! No idea what they’re singing…”

Victoria Beckham has further fueled rumours of an Olympics performance after tweeting a picture today of the gold microphone she used during the group’s reunion tour in 2007 with the message: “Look what I found!! X vb”.

First they were rumoured to be doing it, then Victoria Beckham put a spanner in the works by refusing to take part.

But now all five Spice Girls have signed up to be performing together at the Olympics closing ceremony. A source has confirmed the news to the MailOnline.

Last month the MailOnline exclusively revealed that the girls, including Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm, were keen for it to go ahead but Beckham refused to appear.

But now it has been revealed that they have signed on the dotted line.
The group hasn’t sung together for four years since 2008 but if they do go ahead with the coveted gig they look set to join the likes of Take That, George Michael and The Who on stage. It has emerged today that they are confirmed to be taking the stage, with all five bandmembers appearing.

And they have reportedly agreed to sing their breakout hit 1996 track Wannabe as one of the two songs they’ll be performing. Beckham fuelled rumours she’d be happy to reunite for a one-off show on RTE radio’s John Murray Show yesterday: ‘I’m so respectful of my past and I love the other girls. We have some fantastic fans.

‘Who knows, maybe some day we’ll do something else with the Spice Girls. I would love nothing more. I don’t know about a comeback tour but I loved being back with the girls. There was a lot of fun, we did so much together and we’ll see. If they’re up for something then I certainly am. We are so proud to be English and we are very excited about the Olympics.’

A few weeks ago the Mail Online revealed that the rest of the Spice Girls were in negotiations to appear at the Olympics closing ceremony – despite previously turning down an offer – after they reunited together for the launch of their musical, Viva Forever. The former bandmates were ‘gutted’ to miss the Jubilee and were desperately trying to get Victoria Beckham to appear at the concert on August 12.

But a source told the Mail: ‘They would have a few weeks to rehearse. This is a serious proposition, Mel B has been bombarding Victoria with calls – she’s the sticking point. All the other girls want to do it. Victoria is extremely reluctant.’

And now they have got their wish. A source told the Mirror: ‘The girls were approached for the Games two years ago. It’s always been on the cards. Victoria is in London until the end of the Games and David’s exclusion from the football team means she has time to reunite with the Spice Girls. Talks are back in full swing and the balance of power rests with Mel C. Everyone is hopeful she will agree to perform.’

Remember it´s just a rumour, even if the The Daily Mail said it´s confirmed, you cant trust a tabloid as it wasnt confirmed by the girls or their management! So dont get your hopes too hight yet! Fingers crossed and think positively, because  we are almost crying here lol!

Stars including Geri Halliwell and Craig David have turned down Strictly Come Dancing 2012.

It’s been reported today that bosses have been struggling to fill the line up, just months for the show is set to hit screens.

The Daily Mail report that producers were hoping to sign up Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and 00′s popstar Craig David. Fame Academy star Lemar was also on the show’s wishlist, but will not be taking to the dancefloor this autumn.

A source told the newspaper: “We need big talent this year but it is proving difficult. Geri would have been a real coup and Craig David was one of the top targets. It’s a shame that they’ve both said no thanks.”

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One from September.

The Spice Girls are set to reunite on screen for the first time in five years for a major new TV documentary.

Ginger, Baby, Sporty, Scary and Posh have been given their own prime-time 90-minute ITV1 special titled Spice Girls – Viva Forever.

The Spicy spectacular will air on December 14, the same week their musical opens in the West End. My telly snitch let slip:

The documentary will chart the group’s amazing rise to fame with all five girls being interviewed about what it was like becoming world famous stars.

Producers are also hoping to lift the lid on what life is like for the “girls” as they approach 40.

My snitch added: “Execs are hoping to convince the girls to let the cameras follow them around to show what it’s like for each of them 16 years after finding fame.”

The last time the five-piece spilled the beans about being in the world’s biggest group was back in 2007 for the hour-long BBC show Giving You Everything.

Five years on and the girls are coming back to Spice Up Your Life once more.

This is just a rumour, and we have to wait to see if it turn out to be true. This is Daily Star after all *LOL*.
