Bevlinga's blog: "things i don't remember"

I am so freaking excited, who wants to go with me?! from breaking news The Spice Girls announced their reunion today and insisted they’re really, really not in it for the money. Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Mel B – aka Posh, Ginger, Baby, Sporty and Scary – ended months of speculation by unveiling details of a world tour for which they are reportedly pocketing £10m each. They will play 11 concerts on six continents, kicking off in Los Angeles on December 7. Today was the first time the five had appeared in public together since Halliwell walked out on the band in dramatic fashion nine years ago. “Imagine you got divorced and you’ve got back together with your ex-husband,” was Halliwell’s description of being reunited with her band mates. But Beckham could not resist a dig, quipping: “She just appreciates the fact we’ve let her back in.” All claimed they are now the best of friends. “We’ve forgiven her,” Beckham, 33, said of Halliwell. “I love all the girls. Yes, we argue, but we’re like sisters.” ............ “For us, it’s about celebrating the past, and it’s about our fans. It’s really, really the right time. It was now or never.” ............. The band are billing this as a “farewell tour” and thank you to fans, with Halliwell declaring: “This is going to be a one-night stand.” But industry insiders predict they will record an album of new material if their comeback provokes enough interest from fans. (omg!) The Spice Girls sold 55 million albums and had nine UK number one singles in their heyday. It is more than a decade since Girl Power stormed the charts and six years since the band split. They now have six children between them and a seventh on the way – Bunton is due to give birth within the next few weeks. Mel B, 32, brought baby daughter Angel Iris along to today’s launch. Beckham said the girls would have a creche on tour. She will also be bringing along footballer husband David, as the tour coincides with a break in the US soccer season. “He’s going to be on tour with the kids and all of our families. He’s so excited about us getting back together,” she said. “My main reason for doing this is for my kids – so they can see what mummy used to do. I’m going to be the cool one in the family for once!” ........... Mel B proved she is still the shoutiest Spice, at one point diving into the audience and attempting to forcibly undress a male journalist who suggested the band may be too unfit to recreate their original dance routines. The Spice Girls have been described as poor role models because they have six children but only one husband between them. (honestly, who cares? they have the $scrilla) Halliwell angrily rebuffed the criticism. “The fact of the matter is we are real people. There are millions of women out there who are single mothers. We are examples of our time. We’re not perfect and we never claimed to be,” she said. ........... The band famously praised Margaret Thatcher in a 1990s interview, calling her “the first Spice Girl”. Today they demonstrated their knowledge of the current political landscape. Asked about Gordon Brown, Mel B replied: “Who is he?” Halliwell gave her verdict: “I actually met him the other day. He seems a nice enough fellow.” Ticket details are available from thespicegirls.com The tour dates are as follows: 2007 December 7 – Los Angeles December 8 – Las Vegas December 11 – New York City December 15 – London December 20 – Cologne December 23 – Madrid 2008 January 10 – Beijing January 12 – Hong Kong January 17 – Sydney January 20 – Cape Town January 24 – Buenos Aires Let's all save cash and go to the one in LA :)
