GERI'S STATEMENT

This is a message to the fans, sadly I would like to confirm I have left the Spice Girls, this is because of differences between us. I am sure that the group will continue to be successful, and I wish them all the best. I have no immediate plans and I wish to apologise to all the fans and to thank them and everyone who's been there.
Lots of love Geri. PS: I will be back

GERI TO SPLIT?

It has been reported that Geri as hired lawyers to help her handle the split with the Spice Girls.

The future of the top British pop band was looking increasingly gloomy as even their record company admitted the falling out between the remaining four girls and 25-year-old Geri might not be resolved.

Feisty Geri, known as Ginger Spice, was tonight in hiding somewhere in Europe suffering from "nervous exhaustion" as the result of a gruelling tour schedule and a recent bout of gastroenteritis.

There is also rumours of a fight between the girls before the National Lottery and that Geri wan't ill at all.

There is expected to be an official announcement this weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

SPICE SPLIT?

Last night the Spice Girls were in shock, after Geri failed to turn up for their concert in Oslo, sparking fears that she has split from the Spice Girls for good.

In a shock move, which stemmed from her refusal to perform on the National Lottery show on Wednesday night, the other girls were forced to perform the show as a fab foursome, with Mel C. taking over most of Geri's lyrics in their songs.
Of all the girls, geri has long been tipped as the one most likely to embark on a solo career. She is the most outspoken member of the band, and after the split from manager Simon Fuller last year, became the public leader of the group, although she always maintained she was not in charge.
The other girls are said to be in shock, and in the dark as to Geri's motives. There has apparently been some friction between Geria and the other girls recently, as Geri felt she wasn't getting the respect she deserved, and the others felt Geri wasn't working as part of the team.

Last night, the girls covered superbly for Geri, claiming to fans that she was ill and in bed, but in reality, none of them have had any contact with her since Wednesday, after her refusal to turn up for the lottry show.

The girls are going to have a crisis meeting with Geri next week, to try to ensure she stays with the group, and performs on the American leg of the world tour, due to start in two weeks time.

Could the feisty five survive as the fab four? Let me know what you think about this crisis, and should the girls allow Geri to leave if she wants to?

GERI'S CANCER SCARE

Fortunately, the lump turned out to be be nign. Speaking for the first time about her ordeal, Geri - who wears a 36C bra - told The Sun: "I knew that if the lump was cancerous I would lose my breast. "I've always been known for having big boobs and to have that taken away was a horrifying thought. "The millionaire star was just 18 when she discovered the lump on her right breast. She said: "It was a really tough time. But it made me realise how precious life is."

In an interview for cancer awareness, which the girls will be supporting on this week's Top Of The Pops, Geri revealed that she was petrified that she might loose her breasts due to the desease.

The girls are due to perform their new single, Viva Forever on the pop show on Friday night, and will also be promoting the video release of Spiceworld The Movie.

MEL B AND JIMMY ENGAGED

WOULD you believe it! Scary Spice Mel B has got engaged to her dancer lover after a whirlwind 10-week romance.


Jimmy Gulzar proposed to the shocked singer over a candle-lit dinner in Paris, the capital of romance, on Wednesday night.

The proposal came just days after a topless Mel was spotted frolicking on the beach with Jimmy during a break on the French Riviera (left).

Mel, 23, shrieked with delight as he went down on one knee and presented her with a diamond engagement ring.

"I didn't think anybody would ever ask me!" she cried before flinging her arms around Jimmy who plays her male double on the SpiceWorld tour.

The magical moment was witnessed by one of my spies at the next table. Jimmy, 25, sprung his surprise after another sell-out show in the city.

He booked a midnight table for two at the ultra-chic Buddha Bar, a subterranean American-Oriental eaterie favoured by Hollywood stars and supermodels.

The pair sat in the shadow of a 10ft golden Buddha statue in the centre of the £50-a-head restaurant.

Mel, in a revealing black top and tight trousers with her hair tied into a braid, arrived first with two minders. Then Jimmy made his entrance carrying a huge bouquet of white roses.

They ate spring rolls and egg noodles, washed down with two bottles of vintage champagne. Then Jimmy disappeared to the toilet before returning with the glittering engagement ring.

"Mel was gobsmacked," my spy gushed. "Jimmy went down on one knee and opened up the box. It was the biggest diamond I've ever seen. She was nearly in tears. She was clapping and shouting. They had been kissing and giggling through the meal. Obviously, they are deeply in love."

To celebrate, the couple then went onto the dance floor for a smooch.

"They were very passionate and acted as if there was nobody else in the place," my man added.

The couple retired to a private room in the restaurant. Modesty forbids me speculating on what went on there.

The Leeds-born singer - real name Melanie Brown - turned to Jimmy after splitting from Icelander Fjolnir Thorgeirsson, 26, in March.

She fell for Jimmy while performing their dirty dancing routines together.

"He's a good one, really lovely. I'd have to give him at least 100 out of 10!" joked Mel when they went public with their romance.

She obviously wasn't joking.

The Danish photographers are threatening to boycott the Spice Girls concerts in Denmark if they have to sign a contract which will give the Spice Girls control over their pictures.
