Eek! Geri Halliwell welcomed her new hairstylist in her undies, presuming he was gay; he wasn't. It looks like she was so embarrassed that she never called the hairstylist back--and hired a gay one instead.
Geri's never been known to have held a relationship for a long time, which previously led her to conclude that she's unlucky in love and that she's perfectly happy being a single gal. So it's a lovely surprise to her fans and possible to Geri herself that she and her man Henry Beckwith are going strong. The two were first spotted out and about in April, and have been seen in restaurants and events all over the world. Since it's only been a few months, it's still too early to tell whether Henry is the perfect one for Geri, but even if he's not, well, whoever said Ginger has to have a man in her life, eh? Though it certainly puts a smile on fans' faces to see her happy!
We all know that Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell has been into diplomatic work since 1998, and despite her many other projects to do with entertainment, it looks like she still manages to work with the U.N. Geri was recently in Zambia on a fact-finding trip as a goodwill ambassador and maternal health campaigner, and will be speaking to the House of Commons about the issues in the African nation.
Cameras have captured Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell getting pret-ty close to an Italian man, who is known so far only as Walter, at a nightclub in Florence, Italy. We wonder if she's just looking for some fun or if she's already on the hunt for the love of her life.
Geri Halliwell has always been considered the sexy, saucy Spice Girl, but she was looking sweet and demure in her long wavy locks and ruffled red dress as she sauntered down the red carpet at the Children's BAFTA Awards. It was a different story altogether though when she turned around to strike a pose--and a wind ruffled the light fabric of her dress, giving the world an eyeful of her rear! Tsk tsk, Geri, some underpants really wouldn't hurt, or at least make sure the dress you pick wouldn't reveal anything you wouldn't want everyone at a kids' awards show to see!
Geri Halliwell and Ivan "Flipz" Velez were just together for six months, but a few weeks ago, Geri reportedly broke up with him over the phone!
"Geri said she'd hoped it would be an amazing love-of-her-life romance, but
that the spark just wasn't there. She couldn't deal with the distance
between them and thought it was best to end it before he got even more hurt.
“As far as ‘Flipz’ was concerned they were strong together and had a bright
future. They’d talked about kids and marriage. But I guess in her eyes, it
just wasn’t meant to be.”
That's right, Geri, you should be with a guy you just KNOW is meant for you! No sense wasting time and energy on someone who isn't The One, right?
While the other Spice Girls might have shrugged off possibilities of another reunion, it looks like the Spice Girl who originally walked away from the group is still open to one in the future. Geri Halliwell says, "I don’t know about another reunion. I’d never say never."
Geri Halliwell has talked about her move to Highgate and reveals that she loves the area because it gives her the opportunity to live more quietly and also allows her to be in London whenever she wants. She also says that she'll be staying in England to raise her daughter Bluebell Madonna.
"I want my daughter to have an English accent because it's really elegant," Halliwell is quoted as saying, "also my friends and family are nearby. I have got some friends in Los Angeles but they are more dependable here."
Right now, she's in talks for a movie adaptation of her Ugenia Lavender book series, and is hoping to have big-name stars like George Clooney and Brad Pitt sign on to the potential project.
Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell showcased great new hairstyles as they walked the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards--Emma with a cool new bob and Geri with striking brown hair. We're loving the new looks!
Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell is helping raise funds for Cancer Research UK with Handbag Amnesty! She and several other celebrities like Ashlee Simpson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor are auctioning off their handbags on eBay. The auction runs from October 3 to 14, so get ready with your bids!
Last year, her bandmade Posh Spice Victoria Beckham threw the first pitch at a Dodgers game, which was documented on Vicki's Coming to America TV special. This year, Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell did the honors, laughing and joking around with the players afterward. She must be quite a lucky charm, seeing as the Dodgers won the game! Splash News has all the amazing photos from the game.
Adventurous Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell may seem like the type to try anything once and get a rush out of life, but if there's one thing she doesn't want to do, it's to undergo plastic surgery. She says those who have had themselves surgically enhanced look "weird"--and she's not excluding anyone from that description, not even former bandmate Posh Spice Victoria Beckham! Of course, she says she's tempted to go down the plastic surgery route sometimes, but is steadfastly hanging on to the belief that she should improve herself spiritually first before doing anything to her body.
Another thing that she might not be doing at all anytime soon is get married. Her most recent relationship just fell apart and although she wants to have more kids in the future, it looks like she's been let down far too often to want to get serious again. Oh well. You're perfect the way you are, Geri, and you can certainly do without a man!
We're pretty thrilled that Geri Halliwell will soon be crossing the pond to make her home in Los Angeles, but we're not sure about the reason why she's doing that. Her boyfriend Ivan Velez has issued an ultimatum, saying that she should either move to the U.S. or it's over between the two of them! Geri caved in, since she likes Ivan so much and wants the two of them to spend more time together; we're thinking the Ginger Spice of old wouldn't have put up with that sort of ultimatum. But she won't budge on one issue, though: She wants her daughter Bluebell Madonna to study in Britain, and we're sure she'll stick to her guns on that matter.
Geri Halliwell may have hung up her Spice Girls boots and put her solo career to bed already, but that doesn't mean she's no longer raring with ambition. She currently has her sights set on the West End. Do you think Geri has what it takes to be in a musical?
Victoria Beckham and her sons Cruz and Romeo recently had a scare on an L.A.-bound flight from London.
The former Spice Girls singer was flying to London from Los Angeles with two of her children - five-year-old Romeo and three-year-old Cruz- when a bird flew into one of the plane's engines as it taxied down the runway.
The pilot had to quickly apply the brakes, bringing the aircraft to a screeching halt.
Whew! Glad you're safe, Victoria!
Melanie B already has two lovely daughters--Phoenix Chi and Angel--but she's still looking forward to having kids with her husband Stephen.
Emma Bunton may be accustomed to being photographed, having been subjected to the obsessive attention of the paparazzi in the past, but she still finds it amusing how photographers are always chasing after Victoria.
The latest juicy bits exploding about Posh Spice Victoria Beckham is the fact that she once dated 1980s heartthrob Corey Haim. Today, she's chalking up the experience to simply being such a huge fan of his in the past. We're sure she's not happy about what he's saying about her these days; Corey is claiming that Victoria was a bad kisser back in the day. Our Vicki has already dismissed Corey's bitter remarks and also added that their relationship never turned sexual.
Baby Spice Emma Bunton has spoken out about her body issues and declares that she's very happy to be curvy.
Melanie C performed for free at the TD Canada Trust Wellesley stage for Pride Week on June 28.
Scary Spice Melanie B is definitely going full force with her career in the U.S.! Watch out for her in the Miss Universe pageant on July 13. No, she's not competing--she's hosting the pageant along with Jerry Springer!
Check out this post speculating that the Spice Girls all had matching implants for their 2007 reunion tour. It's a completely ridiculous assumption, especially for the fans who've kept up with the girls over the years. Head on over to put in your two cents about the matter!
Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell has always been known for her good works and advocacies. This month, she and Christy Turlington were the celebrity advocates for maternal health. Health matters seem to be on Geri's mind lately, having recently spoken up about her past issues with body image and how she was able to overcome them. She used to suffer from poor body image and bulimia nervosa, then went through a period of being a complete exercise nut. But these days, she has decided to embrace her body as it is and hopes to be a positive model for her daughter Bluebell Madonna.
British newspaper interviewed Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell recently and talked to her about her career, her life as a mother and as a Spice Girl, and her latest endeavor as a children's author. Geri also shared one time she felt as though she looked like a drag queen!
Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell has always been interested in books and literature, and has even penned a children's story featuring the Spice Girls back when they were still a fivesome. Last month, she announced a series of six books starring an eight-year-old character named Ugenia Lavender, whom she says is her alter ego and was inspired by all the Spice Girls' personalities; the first book of the series has recently been released.
Geri was present at a book signing in Essex a few days ago, but that's not the main highlight of her day. After the book signing, Geri was on her way down from the venue when the lift she was in jammed between the ground and the first floor, leaving her and four other people stuck for an hour. Firefighters eventually arrived and freed the passengers of the lift. Hope you're feeling fine, Geri!
You'd think Geri wouldn't have a hard time finding the one who might be the love of her life, but apparently she is--and her bandmates are putting the word out to any worthy man out in the world.
Spice Girl Melanie Brown says, "Trust me, she has been at it. We have lined them up for her but she is very picky. They have to have a job, they have to be respectful and well traveled. You don't want them too young because they'll be too obnoxious."
We think the criteria should also include "smart and capable of handling a strong-willed woman." Best of luck in your quest for love, Geri!
Aww, Melanie C looks like she's starting to feel the urge for motherhood kicking in. She's the remaining Spice Girl who hasn't had a child yet, but it seems like she's getting her nerve up.
...she is almost ready to start a family with her surveyor fella Tom Starr.
She said: "I want to be a mum in the next few years. But it hasn't been the right time yet.
"I am enjoying the other girls' children. They are really lovely kids, from the little babies, to Phoenix and Brooklyn.
"And I can give them back at the end of the day.
"They are lovely and I'll have me own one day."
However, she's not all that keen on having all the other Spice babies with them during the tour, saying that it's not the right place for the kiddies. Mel C is also rumored to be having it out with Geri quite frequently, whose daughter Bluebell Madonna is 19 months old and who has also reportedly been going on about what a great mother she is.
And here we thought it would be Mel B and Geri who would be at each other's throats! Could Mel C's hostility be due to the fact that she's still pissed off at Geri ditching the band in 1998?
'I would like to say a big sorry to all the fans... especially those in America,' Geri told the audience at the group's comeback gig in Vancouver.
'I walked out on you as well as the girls. You never got to see us as as five-piece... this is my opportunity to make it up to everyone. Thanks for the second chance.'
Posh, Baby, Sporty and Scary have accepted Ginger's apology. Read more.
Aww, we forgive you! It was a devastating event for fans all over the world, and nobody really understood why she had to leave, but hey, at least you girls are back!
So it’s 10.30pm and I got home half an hour ago. We just did a run through of the show; it’s feeling really good. It’s hard to tell u without giving too much away… but Simon Fuller, our manager, came down and he was blown away. I think we might surprise a few people. Actually, I never thought I’d say this (because I wasn’t part of the group when it was conceived so it was hard to be objective) but Holler is white hot. That’s all I’m saying otherwise the girls will kill me.
Okay, so backstage... it’s amazing to see how much goes into making a show – lights, catering, dressers, sounds, engineers, crew – it’s like a travelling circus.
I actually feel like I’m in the Spice bubble… we are encapsulated in this world where we are just immersed in each other’s lives constantly.
Just before the run through of the show this morning, Mel B, Victoria and I even went to the loo together… in separate cubicles, obviously!
But of course... there’s also my daughter Bluebell. She loves hanging with the Beckham boys. Cruz and Bluebell have play dates, and Romeo – well, he is just gorgeous with her. Actually, it was a beautiful moment when we were rehearsing the other day and all of our kids were playing on the stage at the same time. It made me smile.
As you probably know, Mel B was in the live final of Dancing With The Stars and we surprised her on Monday down at the show. She was so shocked, it’s the first time we’ve ever seen her quiet! She was with us in rehearsals yesterday morning and then went to the studio in evening for the results show. She SO should have won… I’m very disappointed. But we are all so incredibly proud of her. You’re a winner to us Mel!
Okay, I have to go to bed in a bit as we are working really hard on the show and I need to get some rest. If you have a ticket for the tour, you really are in for a treat. Get ready to party!
The Spice Girls' concert outfits used to be sparkly, full of vibrant colors, and just plain...bouncy. But they've grown up so it's only natural that they won't be performing in outfits similar to their costumes of old. They've gotten designer Roberto Cavalli on board to make some fabulous creations for their comeback tour.
Roberto Cavalli has revealed the designs he has created especially for the Spice Girls to wear on their reunion tour.
The designer agreed to dress the girls for their tour after persuasion from his pal Victoria Beckham and if anyone can inject some glamour to the 90s girl band then Cavalli is the man for the job.
Geri is spicing things up on the official blog with her latest post! Here's what she had to say.
Hi, how are u?
So, I am sitting in the rehearsal studio on a lunch break. We’ve just finished rehearsing Who Do You Think You Are. No, I’m not going to tell you any details. You’ll just have to wait and see! It’s a lot of fun.
Beau is sitting opposite me on Emma's lap, giving a smile.
We're working hard and it’s like we've never been apart. I really like it when we're singing in harmony with the band. It’s funny that ten years on each of us still remembers our harmony lines. It’s like riding a bike – you just don’t forget. It’s like it’s ingrained in us.
What else can I tell you? Cruz has been looking for a pump to blow up his rocket and now he’s trying on Melanie C's hoodie.
Melanie C is definitely embracing her Sporty roots today in a fetching pair of tracky bottoms. Looking gorgeous! Actually, that’s Bluebell's new favourite word.
Bluebell is on her way down here in a bit. She keeps on picking up a microphone, so it’s like the Waltons on tour with babies and husbands all around. Jade (Emma’s partner) is the perfect daddy. I can tell he loves being a father.
I’ve gotta tell you, it’s been the most wonderful experience being back in Spice World. I love being part of a group and I feel this experience has done exactly what I had hoped. It has reunited us and made our friendship stronger. We have a bond that we will share for the rest of our lives.
Let me tell you, the Spice Girls are now Spice Women – full, sensual and stronger through their life experiences. It’s fantastic to be around the humour, and although the pressure is on, being part of a group is a wonderful thing. I receive a lot of support and encouragement from the other girls.
We are definitely a democracy. Every morning we check in with each other and we discuss the decisions that have to be made.
We have a great band. Melanie C picked them and she cracks the whip when it comes to vocal warm-ups.
Okay, I think that’s enough for now. See you very soon… one month to go!
