FUNNY- HE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A CHEF!

We see a lot of photos of former Spice Girl Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, but not so many pics of “Baby Spice” Emma Bunton. We love this photo of Emma and her husband Jade Jones on their way to a festive party in the UK. Jones was lead singer of the 90’s boy band Damage, and he and Emma have been together since ’98. Jade always loved food and he studied and became a successful chef – currently working at the prestigious 5 star hotel Claridges, (although you’d never guess it by looking at him!) Emma and Jade have two sons together and they finally married in 2021. Cute couple…

MEL C STILL HAS FUN BEING SPORTY SPICE

London has more stores open than we do in the US – even some malls are open. Spice Girl Mel C, Melanie Chisholm, AKA Sporty Spice, took her cute 11 year old daughter Scarlett and her friend to do some shopping. Sporty Spice was known for wearing tracksuits and having tattoos on her arms – she was the athletic Spice Girl who could do backward handsprings. Between Spice Girl reunions and solo performances, Mel C is now a no-nonsense mom.

MEL B: WHEN YOUR BEST FRIEND TURNS ON YOU

For the past few years it seemed that Spice Girl Mel B went EVERYWHERE with her best friend and hair stylist Gary Madatyan, and they always seemed to be having a good time. They were inseparable. A few months ago the friendship apparently went sour and now Gary has filed a lawsuit against Mel, accusing her of an assortment of awful things: borrowing a lot of money, failing to pay him his salary, getting amphetamines in HIS name, pressuring him to lie in court during her custody battle, (he refused) etc. Hopefully, Mel saved some of that money she earned touring with the Spice Girls this summer…

“VIVA FOREVER” HAS AT LEAST ONE FAN – GERI HALLIWELL’S DAUGHTER

When we saw that Geri Halliwell brought her little girl Bluebell to see the London musical Viva Forever, which is based on the Spice Girls music, we figured she wanted to show her daughter what her mom did before she was born. But while the musical uses Spice Girl songs, it is not about the five girls. The show is like “Mamma Mia” which used Abba music but the story had nothing to do with the . Viva Forever got dismal reviews and might have done better if it WERE about the singing girls. At least Bluebell got to see the show before it closes.

MELANIE BROWN’S HUSBAND BRAWLS TO “DEFEND HER HONOR”

Jovial drinks at the bar of the fancy May Fair Hotel in London ended up in a brawl thanks to Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown’s temperamental husband Stephen Belafonte. Bar patrons said everyone was having a pleasant time (Mel was in the hall talking to friends) when there was an “explosion of violence” and Stephen jumped on another bald guy at the bar and they rolled on the floor cursing, punching, and kicking. Stephen had his sweater ripped off and the other baldie hit his head on a coffee table and was bleeding profusely. Mel watched in horror as three hotel staffers pulled them apart. Stephen begged the photographer to delete the pics he took but when police and paramedics arrived the snapper slipped away. Belafonte claimed the fight started because the other guy made a lewd comment about his wife. Maybe, but Belafonte (not has real name) has a history of violence AGAINST women, not IN DEFENSE of them. He’s been charged with violence against ex girlfriends under his real name, Stansbury. Mel and her questionable husband are in London to promote her new reality series “Mel B: It’s a Scary World.” Too bad TV cameras weren’t around for this incident.

THE SPICE GIRLS ROCKED THE STAPLES CENTER

The Spice Girls may not be selling out EVERYWHERE, but they had a very enthusiastic full house at the Staples Center last Wednesday. An observer told us that the center of attention in the audience was the VIP box where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes sat with Suri and David Beckham and his kids. Assorted offspring and friends of the other Spice girls were also in the box section. They were a festive group – at one point David bought ten cotton candies for all the delighted children. Our source says the audience was made up of “basically ten females (of all ages) to every gay man. Plus a sprinkling of drag queens. Many fans dressed as their favorite Spice Girl. Our spy said ” The crowd loved the colorful, lively show with “something for everybody” – they got their money’s worth.”

THE SPICE GIRLS: IS THERE ANYTHING REAL ABOUT THIS PICTURE?

spicecutgirls_468x447.jpg
This brand new publicity photo for the Spice Girls reunion is fascinating in many ways. First of all, every one of the girls looks FLAWLESS and impossibly young. They look almost nothing like the candid photos we’ve seen of them lately- slightly bedraggled, with their babies on the street. Also we can’t imagine how all five girls EVER agreed on the final photo. Maybe they took five separate but flattering photos and put them together. Apparently Posh Spice was miffed because they airbrushed out her neck tattoo and left Scary Spice’s arm tattoo on display.

SPICE GIRLS: MORE GIRL POWER

SpiceGirlsREXcut2_468x237.jpgAs if Posh Spice didn’t have ENOUGH to do, now she’s agreed to a reunion with the Spice Girls. We can hardly believe it. Right now Posh is househunting for her move to LA, and besides designing her jean line, she’s negotiating a deal for a reality series – at home with the Beckhams. All five original Spice Girls, who split six years ago, will be reuniting for a charity concert in London in the fall. Two of the girls are expecting babies – Scary Spice Melanie Brown in March, and Baby Spice Emma Bunton in the summer, so that’s the soonest they could do it. The show will be followed by a national tour- we hope they add the USA. Whether it’s a good idea for busy Victoria to leave David Beckham home alone at the mercy of Hollywood starlets remains to be seen.
