Spice Girls To Perform At 2012 Olympics!!!!

wenn4285spice.jpg

It's been reported that the Spice Girls will be performing at the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics in London!

With Posh back on board!!!!

We're dying!!!!!

The Girls' manager, Simon Fuller, says the quintet (Posh, Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby) could possibly schedule their reunion/final tour to coincide with the Olympic Games.

"They stand for so much in British music history and I can't think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance," says Fuller. "The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever."

Fuller believes the girls will be ready to retire their Spice personalities come the 2012 Games, as the group "will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40's."

But we'd love to see them performing in their full Spice Girls get up in their 60's and 70's!

Ha!

The gals are expected to be present at the celebration 1,000 days prior to the Games, although no word whether or not they will be performing at the celebration.

Are U excited????

Spice Idol In The Works!

ap080114013297sg__opt1.jpg

With talks of a tour and musical all that's left is television. And it looks like they're heading in that direction!

According to reports, the girls are planning a reality/talent show to find versions of themselves for the Spice Girls musical.

We're assuming if you want to take Victoria Beckham's spot you'll need to stop eating now and get some new tittays!

The band's former manager Simon Fuller and mastermind and owner of the "Idol" shows is helping with the idea.

Could you imagine all the crazies that would audition???

Mel B A source reveals that the idea is something that interests all the members saying:

"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."

We're not sure if the musical would run for years, but we're sure it has potential.

Would U watch a Spice Girls reality show???

A Spice Girls Musical!!!

ap080114013297sg.jpg

OMG! We're dying! This must be the surprise she was talking about!

We've been telling you recently about another possible Spice Girls reunion and it turns out that they have been plotting a stage musical!

They're looking for 5 unknown actresses to portray each of them and bring their story of stardom to the stage in what's being billed as "a two-hour pop extravaganza!"

AMAZING!

Geri Halliwell aka Ginger Spice is the producer but apparently Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Beckham will be involved in the project as well, including the casting.

We wonder who the 5 girls will be?

Lucky girls for sure! With the Spice Girls' fan base the show is sure to be a mayjah hit!

Spice Girls Reunite! Without Posh!

sg_noposh.jpg

Well, Posh's singing "talents" were never really featured in the group anyway, were they????

The remaining Spice Girls are reportedly planning to reunite for a "full-scale comeback" in the upcoming weeks!!!!!

Although Beckham doesn't have the "time or desire" to join the group again (boo), Mel B., Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel C. will be digging the platform sneakers out from the closet next week to discuss the reunion!!

Sources say the girls plan to be on the road by this time next year, although Bunton is not fully convinced she would like to return to her Baby Spice roots.

"Emma is being cautious but the minute she's with the girls they'll talk her round," says the insider.

And although Victoria is currently the most famous of the 5, the girls have no doubt they'll be able to cope without her.

Says one source: "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."

Hmmm!

Do U think it will work without Beckham?????

Something's Missing…

spice_girls_03_wenn2576596e.jpg

It's a Spice Girl reunion!

Well, almost.

Last night Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Melanie C all dined together at the Palm restaurant in London.

But, something's missing from this picture.

Oh yeah, Victoria Beckham!

Maybe her invitation got lost in the mail?

Or perhaps when you're a serious fashion designer, you have better things to do?

Geri Halliwell Aims To Protect Women of Nepal!

ap090909012966.jpg

A noble cause, indeed!

Since Sunday, Geri Halliwell has been in Nepal serving as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund.

The pop star recently met with Prime Minister Madhav Kumar who supports the cause promoting maternal health and women's rights.

Halliwell visited women in isolated districts to witness the effects of the gender-based violence, including women rescued from being sold into prostitution rings and victims of rape.

Violence against women is a prevalent and serious issue in the South Asian country. Research found that more than 80% of women had been abused by their husbands.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Geri urged Nepali men to use their power to encourage and protect women. She stated, "When we empower women and take care of them, everyone benefits."

Another issue demanding attention in Nepal is maternal healthcare. According to the UN, there is a one in 31 mortality rate for Nepalese women following child birth due to poor conditions, living in remote areas and the condition of uterine prolapse, which affects one in 10 mothers.

"It's an embarrassing issue that no one wants to talk about," said Halliwell. "It's a symptom of when a mother is not taken care of particularly after she's given birth. Basically her womb comes out, which is quite a horrific thing to experience. But it's so preventable."

She hopes that her visit will bring these important issues to light and improve the quality of life for women in Nepal.

Keep up the good work, 'bb.
