Mel C doesn’t think the Spice Girls will tour again

The group – Mel, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton – reformed for a string of shows in 2007 and 2008 and despite speculation they will reunite again for next year’s London Olympics, the singer can’t see them going out on the road any more, even though they are now closer than ever.

She said: “The reunion tour rekindled our friendship. To play the O2 and Madison Square Garden in front of so many fans was brilliant, but
for us girls to get back together was the highlight. “We’ve got such a bond because of what we went through, so to be back in each others’ lives is lovely.

“I don’t think we’ll tour together again, but then I never thought it would happen the first time so who knows?” Mel, 37, also admitted she might pen her life story one day – but only when she no longer cares about upsetting anyone with her memoirs.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “When you’re older and at a pointing life where you don’t care who you offend or upset, I think that’s the only way to do it. Who might I offend? Ask me again in 20 years.”

Victoria Beckham’s pregnancy has helped cure her acne

The former Spice Girls singer-turned-fashion designer – who has experienced skin problems since being a teenager – is delighted by the change in her appearance since falling pregnant with her fourth child.

A source close to the 36-year-old star – who is due to give birth in the summer – said: “Victoria has tried everything under the sun for her skin, yet nothing has worked as well as getting pregnant with her fourth baby. The hormones really suit her and she’s said this pregnancy has cleared up her spots!

“She has a pretty flush to her cheeks that wasn’t there before. It’s like a natural blusher. The texture of her skin is much smoother and any open pores seem to have closed up. She’s been drinking lots of water and eating fruit like kiwis and strawberries.”

As well as Victoria – who already has three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – being pleased with her skin, soccer star husband David Beckham, 35, thinks she is looking better than ever.

The source added: “David loves this healthy new glow. He thinks she’s sexier than ever.”

Mel B is worried married people will think she’s “a pervert” – because she speaks about her sex life so much

The former Spice Girls singer is happy to openly talk about her bedroom antics with husband Stephen Belafonte, but does worry about how people could perceive her.

Mel said: “We have lots of sex, we raise our kids very well and Stephen cooks dinner every night for the whole family – life’s good.

“Everybody has sex, especially if you’re married. I don’t know if married people will be inspired by me though – they might just think I’m a pervert.”

Mel – who raises her daughters, Phoenix, 11, and Angel, three, from previous relationships and Stephen’s child Giselle, seven, with her husband – also revealed she thinks having sex is a good way to keep fit.

The 35-year-old star – who has been married to Stephen for three years – added: “I think any kind of sexual activity is a bit of a workout if you do it right. We have good communication with each other and I never fake it.”

Justin Bieber has been turned into a toy

The teen singing sensation’s likeness has been turned into two ranges of dolls – the Music Video Collection and the JB Style Collection.

The Music Video Collection sees figures playing 30-second clips from his hit songs ‘Baby’ and ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ and the dolls are dressed in Justin’s outfits from those videos.

The JB Style Collection, features Justin figurines dressed in “street style”, “awards style” and “red carpet style” outfits.

The mini Justin dolls will be released in December.

Justin, 16, is not the first star to be made into a toy.

During the peak of their fame in the 90s, the Spice Girls all had their own figurines, as did Take That and Britney Spears.

Last year, Sienna Miller was turned into an action figure in the guise of her ‘G.I Joe: Rise of the Cobra’ character Baroness.

She said “I’m not sure if I’m going to be playing with my own doll – but I’m going to have happy nieces and nephews, I’m sure.”

British boy band JLS are also set to be immortalised in plastic, with their range of dolls coming out later this year.

The ‘Poker Face’ singer took home trophies for International Album,
International Breakthrough Act and International Female Solo Artist.
Show host Peter Kay quipped: “She’s won every international awards
apart from International Male!”
Accepting her first award, Gaga said: “Thank you so much, I love my
fans, thank you so much for everything,” before reeling off a list of
people who she wanted to thank.
By the time she accepted her third award, for Best International
Album, she was in tears.
She said: “I was really excited about winning the first two awards,
but this one means more because I worked so hard on this album for so
long, and when I think about all that I went through and all the years
of struggling and my fans – they were the first ones to recognise my
abilities.”
Gaga also performed a song at the event – which she dedicated to
recently deceased fashion designer Alexander McQueen.
British boyband JLS were the surprise winners of two awards, taking
home British Single for their debut ‘Beat Again’ and British
Breakthrough Act. In a triumph for hip hop, ‘Bonkers’ rapper Dizzee
Rascal was named the British Male Solo Artist.
Accepting his award, he thanked his record label, saying: “Whoa, it’s
about time! Big up to all the Dirtee Stank family, Big up to all the
fans!”
Elsewhere, Florence and the Machine picked up the accolade for British
Album, while Lily Allen was named British Female Solo Artist.
Accepting her award in a bright ginger wig, she said: “I wore an
orange wig so it would make it harder for the cameramen to find me and
see the look of disappointment on my face. But that backfired.”
When urged to hurry her speech she replied: “No f**k off, I’m not
leaving, f**k off,” before thanking her family.

Liam Gallagher outraged the BRIT Awards tonight (16.02.10), throwing
his trophy in the crowd and snubbing his brother.
The former Oasis singer appeared to collect the award for BRITS Album
of 30 Years, a publicly voted accolade for the best album since the
event started.
Liam appeared onstage briefly to collect the trophy, and thanked the
band’s line up – apart from his brother Noel, the band’s main
songwriter and second vocalist.
Referring to one of the group’s hits, Liam said: “I’d like to thank
Bonehead, Guigsy, Alan White…. the best bands in the f**king world
live forever.”
He then threw his microphone and the award into the audience and
walked offstage.
Oasis split last year after a fallout between the volatile Gallagher
brothers, and while Noel is recording a new solo album, Liam has
formed a new band with the rest of the group’s members.
Backstage at the event, he said: “I don’t know if we deserved it
because there has been loads of great albums over the last 30 years.
“But if they’re gonna give it to us then I’ll play the game and turn
up and get it.
“Now can we go and take loads of Class A drugs?”
The missing microphone caused panic among the award organisers, and
while the show was at an advert break, one of the stage team pleaded
for its safe return.
He announced: “We need this mic back. Please, if you have the mic will
you return it, as one of our artists will not be able to perform
without it.”
The microphone thrown by Liam was given back and the show went on.
Other performances at the event included rock band Kasabian, who
performed their single ‘Fire’ on a stage which was partially engulfed
in flames. They later won the award for British Group.
Cheryl Cole – who is currently undergoing troubles in her marriage to
footballer Ashley Cole, after he was caught sending lewd messages to
other women – also performed her single ‘Fight For This Love’ singing
through what appeared to be gritted teeth as she did a dance routine
reminiscent of Michael Jackson.

The soccer star – who lives in Los Angeles with his wife, former Spice Girls singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham, and their three sons – approached the creators of the hit US animated comedy series to make a cameo appearance but was turned down as show chiefs didn’t feel Americans knew enough about him.

Al Jean, the show’s principal writer and executive producer, said: “We get a lot of requests from celebrities, and it’s always a shame when we have to turn people down.

“We had a request from David Beckham and I had to phone him up and tell him sorry but I didn’t want him on the show right now. I didn’t think he was a big enough star for an American audience.

“I got a lot of grief about that. Some people got really angry about it and I was told, ‘I bet you would have put George Best on.’ I can pretty much say I would have turned him down too.”

David isn’t the only star to have left the team behind ‘The Simpsons’ unimpressed, with Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger’s diva-like attitude leaving many unhappy when he recorded a guest role.

Actor Hank Azaria, who voices characters including Chief Wiggum, Apu and Moe, revealed to Live magazine: “They sent me down to greet Mick Jagger when he arrived to record his part, and I said, ‘Hey, Mick, we’re thrilled to have you here.’ And he kind of blew right by me like I was the greeter, and went, all dismissively, ‘Yeah, we’ll get it.’ It made me a little bit annoyed. I knew it was going to get awkward, because I was about to walk upstairs and record with him.”

The ‘Wannabe’ hitmakers – also consisting of Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton – pay a visit to the singer-turned-fashion designer and her soccer star husband David Beckham every year, where they get “tipsy” on wine, eat lots of food and sing along to their old pop records.

Singer Emma is quoted by the Daily Express newspaper as saying: “We all go over to David and Victoria’s for lovely food and good wine. It’s the only time we all get to see each other, we get a bit tipsy and listen to Spice Girls songs. I can’t believe I’ve admitted that!”

In addition to preparing for their annual get together, the former bandmates have been spending a lot more time together recently as they work on their upcoming musical.

Earlier this year, the group revealed they are working on a stage production called ‘Viva Forever’ – which will depict the girls’ rags-to-riches rise to fame.

The musical will include 14 of the band’s biggest tracks and is due to open on November 5 next year.

The singers also plan to launch a talent show to find five women perfect to portray them on the stage.

The girl group have chosen to name the proposed musical after their 1998 number one hit and the script for the show is presently being written.

The musical – which will tell the rags-to-riches rise to fame of the five members, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Mel C and Emma Bunton – is being written by Kim Fuller, who also penned the script for the group’s 1997 film ‘Spiceworld’. Kim is the sister of former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller.

The production will feature 14 of the band’s biggest songs, and is set to begin on November 5 next year.

It has previously been reported the group will hold a talent search to find the cast who will play the Spices on stage.

A source said: “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 then they can 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.”

The Spice Girls, who formed in 1994, last performed together in Toronto, Canada, in February 2008.

The former Spice Girls star-turned-fashion designer has been advised by doctors to undergo a procedure to ease the painful condition – a deformity of the bone and joint which affects the big toe and can be extremely painful.

But despite the advice, Victoria has been doing exercises and had corrective insoles put into her shoes in a bid to avoid having the operation because it will mean she won’t be able to wear her trademark high heels for months.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: “Victoria is in agony with her misshapen feet.

“She is suffering from shooting pain from the bunions. Victoria calls her feet ‘the bane of my life’, but she is worried about having the operation because she fears they will compromise her ability to wear heels and ruin her stylish look.

“She puts up with the pain, but the doctor has told her she seriously needs to consider a bunionectomy or ditch the heels for a few months to let the inflammation calm down. She has not got that long to decide what to do.”

Victoria – who is married to soccer player David Beckham – has previously revealed her hatred of flat shoes.

She said: “I beyond hate ballerina flats. I can’t walk in them. Unless they’re on a ballet dancer doing ballet, I just don’t get it. I love heels.

“I hate my feet – they are the most disgusting thing about me.”
