Guess what Prince Charles really, really
wants for his 60th birthday? The Spice Girls — the
five-girl band who had a so-so return to the world of pop
last year — are in fact a royal favorite. Charles
has been a fan for years and would like them to appear at
his birthday bash.
All are keen except Scary Spice Mel B. “No
way," she told me. "We can send a video
message, but for me, the whole Spice thing is over." |

| MEL B APOLOGISES FOR AUSTRALIAN
TOUR CANCELLATION |
Whilst
swanning around the Riviera at this year's 48th Monte
Carlo TV Festival, Take 40 Australia - there to interview
cast members from hit TV series Desperate Housewives,
Lost, and Ugly Betty - ran into a not-so-scary sight -
SCARY SPICE, aka. Melanie Brown!
Interestingly enough, despite being a huge star of the US
version of 'Dancing With The Stars' earlier this year,
and starring in an upcoming TV talent show with Joey
Fatone (from N'Sync), Mel B wasn't there to promote her
TV appearances, she was in fact there in her new role as
an entertainment correspondent for US TV show 'Access
Hollywood'!
Mel B was interviewing celebrities like Kim Kardashian,
and partying with Prince Albert of Monaco in her new role
as reporter, but Take 40 pulled her aside exclusively and
flipped the script turning the interviewer, into the
interviewee.
Whilst she had a lot to say about her upcoming acting
projects, TV projects, fashion range, new album, new
husband, new daughter, there was only one thing we wanted
to know.... WHY DIDN'T THE SPICE GIRLS TOUR DOWN UNDER IN
AUSTRALIA EARLIER THIS YEAR, AS PREVIOUSLY
REPORTED?!?!?!?
"Can I just say that our tour started off with one
date booked, and then things just escalated and
snowballed," she explained. "We never actually
set dates - it kinda just rollercoastered. Tickets should
never have even gone on sale in some places - I don't
know whether they did in Australia or not, but we didn't
even know that."
"We should've come to Australia - that's a shame
that we didn't," she concedes, before adding,
"I will - I'll come and visit you guys when I
release my next album."
Not quite the same Mel, but we'll think about forgiving
you! Brown is currently recording her second solo album
in the States, and hopes the project will be released
sometime later this year. |

| MELANIE B DENIES MANDELA RUMOURS |
Melanie B had denied the rumours that the
Spice Girls were to reform to take the stage at Nelson
Mandela's upcoming 90th birthday celebrations.
The singer said that the group were "big fans"
of the former South African president, but claimed they
have no plans to perform together again in the
foreseeable future
Commenting on a possible performance from the Spice
Girls, Mel B told the BBC: "I don't think we are. I
did hear about that and we're all big fans of Nelson
Mandela but I don't think we're going to be doing that.
"I know we all have a lot of stuff going on. I know
that I'm here working probably until the end of the year.
But I know I don't have a break. But he's a great guy. I
can't believe he's 90."
She added: "I'm not quite sure if we have been
asked. But I know that we're not going to be performing
together at all for quite some time right now."
Talking about her personal music plans, the popstar said
that she was in the middle of a new solo album, revealing
that she had already written seven songs for the LP.

| SPICE GIRLS TO AUSTRALIA : IT'S
NOT YOU IT'S US |
Speaking backstage before their
performance at Madison Square Garden this week, three
members of the British pop group told why they decided
against bringing girl power to our shores for the first
time.
Melanie Chisholm, aka Sporty Spice, said they were
disappointed. "We were really excited about that
part of the tour. We had never toured Australia before.
We literally ran out of time and we know that probably
isn't good enough," she told a correspondent, in
comments given exclusively to SiT.
"You would have to be crazy not to want to go to
Australia. We would have loved to have gone. It just
didn't work out this time."
Emma Bunton, aka Baby Spice, said the group had to go
where the demand was: "It was huge in the UK and the
US. You know we love you lots."
Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham blamed the kids.
"We're mothers. That's our priority at the end of
the day." The group announced three weeks ago that
they were cutting several countries from the original
tour schedule.
The decision angered some fans, who vented their
frustration via online petitions and Facebook groups,
including one called "The Spice Girls ditched
Australia, so I'm ditching the Spice Girls". |

| SPICE GIRLS TO END TOUR EARLY |
| The Spice Girls released a statment today
via their official site declaring that the tour will end
in Toronto on February 26, meaning the planned shows for
Sydney, Buenos Aires, Asia & South Africa will not go
ahead. Many fans are upset at this & one of the
longest running Spice Girls site www.spicenews.com has even closed their site down.
Here is the official statement: The Return Of The Spice Girls Tour
Huge Global Demand For Spice Girls Exceeds Original
Expectations
"If you see the show and don’t love every
single second, check your pulse please because you might
actually be dead."Daily Mirror – December 2007
When the Spice Girls reunited for the first time as a 5
piece in 9 years last June announcing The Return
Of The Spice Girls tour, no-one was quite sure
how the world would respond. Certainly no-one could have
predicted just how phenomenal the demand was eventually
going to be. Within days over 1 million people in the UK
alone had registered for tickets as well as 3 million
people in the US. The Spice Girls are in huge global
demand and since reforming they have received literally
thousands of requests and offers to play in almost every
country in the world.
When tickets went on sale for the first UK show at The O2
Arena they sold out in a record breaking 38 seconds. It
was clear this was going to be no ordinary tour. Within
days the girls extended their 02 run to an incredible 17
shows. If it hadn’t been for other tour commitments
they could have continued to add dates. Spice fever was
well and truly back.
The Return Of The Spice Girls tour
finally kicked off to global critical acclaim in
Vancouver on the 2nd of December 2007 and this stage of
the tour will finally come to an end on February 26th in
Toronto. Within that time the girls will have performed
shows in the US, UK and Europe to well over half a
million fans. The icons of girl power are still at the
top of their game. The girls have been stunning audiences
with their high-energy performances and have brought back
some much needed fun, excitement and glamour to the music
world.
In the US the LA Daily News reported, “They may just
be better than ever on this tour,” and that the tour
“wasn’t a comeback at all, it was an
upgrade”. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote,
“The Spice Girls is the reunion that matters this
year. Spice Girls prove they have staying power”. In
the UK the Independent On Sunday commented,
“Brassier, bolder and better than ever. This was a
spectacular show.” The News Of The World claimed,
“Those girls are STILL amazing on stage. What a show
– everything all the mad fans could hope for after
ten long years of waiting.”
Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of
February due to family and personal commitments for Emma,
Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria. It was announced in
June that, as well as the Europe and the US, the girls
planned to visit Australia, China, South Africa and
Argentina. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in
the UK and the US along with the touring logistics for
such a massive production it was not possible to fit
everything in. As the girls return to normal family life
and the kids go back to school they are reviewing all the
options, who knows what the future might bring!
The girls said: “We’ve had such an amazing time
over the last 3 months. It’s been incredible being
back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank
everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first
time round, so we’ve really been able to appreciate
it properly this time. There have been so many highlights
and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart
after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see
you this time round. We all have other commitments in our
lives now but who knows what will happen next.”

personal benefits of the fun run.
"Signing up
to do a mile for Sport Relief is such an easy
thing to do especially after the post Christmas
excesses," she said.
|
| The other girls added:
"Whether you're young or old, fit or unfit,
most people can do a mile in one way or another
and help poor and vulnerable people in the
process." The girl-group will be joined by
another reformed act, Take That, in going the
1,609m distance on Sunday 16th March.

| SPICE GIRLS @ CAVALLI SHOW |
|
The Spice Girls turned
out to watch Roberto Cavalli's winter 2009
menswear show today and he didn't disappoint
them, including in his show a gorgeous green
evening shift and a black satin Cinderella gown
for women. The pop quintet had
front-row seats for the show, which Cavalli told
Reuters was aimed at "a sophisticated man
... even a rock star type."
Geri Halliwell, wearing a beige
ruched mini dress, was open-mouthed at a
voluminous black satin long gown and pointed out
to Victoria Beckham --wearing a black trouser
suit and headband -- the green version.
