SPICE
GIRLS CHRISTMAS SCHEDULE
|
The
new Spice Girls album,
due out on 3rd November,
will be preceded by a new
single on 6th October.
Another single is also
expected before
Christmas. Much of the
material is being
recorded in a mobile
studio on the set of
their new film in
London's Docklands.
Virgin said, "It's
great news. We were
beginning to wonder when
they would be able to
record a new album
because of their busy
schedule. We don't know
what the single will be
yet, but we have heard
two tracks and they sound
great."
After the film they will
begin preparing for their
concert in Turkey which
kicks off their world
tour

SPICE
GIRLS SINGLE TO COST
TWICE AS MUCH AS USUAL
|
|
BBC
Radio 1 DJ Simon Mayo
is apparently
expressing his disgust at
the latest Spice Girls
promotion with Pepsi.
The
new single, Step To Me is
only available to fans
who collect 20 ring pulls
from Pepsi canned drinks.
|
With
a can of pepsi usually
costing around 40p, this
means the total cost of
the single will be around
£8 - over twice that of
the usual cost of £3.99
for a chart single.
Angry
at the amount of money
that fans of the group
are expected to pay for a
single, Simon Mayo is
allegedly currently
playing the new single
with a few seconds of
space on either side to
encourage fans to indulge
in a mild bit of piracy
and gain a copy for free.
This is of course
strictly illegal and is
not in anyway encouraged
by Spice Girls
Archive.

BREAKS HER ANKLE

Emma
has fallen off her four
inch platform shoes thus
breaking her ankle. As
she left a Turkish TV
studio, she tripped and cracked
her left ankle, sprained
her arm and bruised
her nose. She arrived
home last night in a
wheelchair. She said
"I was running and I
went over" Her mum
Pauline said "She's
in bed. I had to get her
painkillers which have
knocked her out for the
night." A spokesman
said "Emma got a
nasty shock and was in
real agony. But this will
not affect any of the
group's plans."
She
has stated today that her
trade-mark platform boots
are not to blame for her
accident.
Tonight,
outside her flat in
Finchley, north
|
London,
she said:
"It
wasn't the shoes, I was
actually running out of
the TV station and there
was a hole in the ground
and I ran straight into
it."
She
hobbled out to meet
photographers, but was
cheerful despite the
thick bandage. She
confirmed she expects to
be fit again in a week,
ready to begin filming
Spice - The Movie. Fiming
takes place entirely in
London and is expected to
take 6-weeks.
