no thread about the spice girls getting back together?

Los Angeles (December 7)

I can see the negotiations. "WE START WHERE I LIVE NOW."

I think for us it was about celebrating the past, enjoying each other and it's about our fans.

Will entrance be free then?

Probably not, but I also read somewhere that they will be re-releasing the movie in theatres where kids will be allowed in free, somehow, to um, grow new fans.

Mel B looks a lot fucking better these days than she did in the 90s.

Word.

Victoria looks suitably coked up.

Also, I don't give a flying fuck about all this.

one is still on my wife list. one is now also on my deathwish list.

same person?

Can't see what the hoopla is about. I doubt they have much drawing power these days. Who's going to go and see them? When they played here (sans Geri) the vast majority of the audience was little girls, who are now in their late teens and presumably not ready for a nostalgia trip just yet. This could quite possibly end up as a sad washout.

Why on earth did pitchfork report this story?

Good, expensive marketing. Prepare for some idiotically trivial Spice-related news tidbit every single day for the next 18 months just to keep them in your brain (ala Paul McCartney at present).

Tsk, it's disgusting. They should only cover real music.

so i'll see you all at the vegas show then?

this just in, the Jets are playing at Disneyworld

i suppose people (inc. me) will care more about this if and when they release a cracking new song.

No. Probably not.

Aaaaaaand here they are....

What, there's two baby spizes now?

Posh has been lookin good

i for one thought that the spice girls were always hysterically funny. even thinking about Spice World makes me laugh a little bit, mostly because of that very silly scene on top of the tour bus.

ITEM! Ginger says sorry to Posh!

I'd be really stoked if they were going into the studio, but a tour is kind of irrelevant with Spice.

damn mel c, when did you become the hot one?

Mel C was the hot one circa summer '98. A few months later she cut her hair and looked like she prefered sex with girls.

so basically her hot one reign is unbroken

i stopped paying close attention to the spice girls after seventh grade i guess and was legit surprised/slightly disappointed when i found out she wasnt actually a lez a couple months ago

In that pic she looks like Chan Marshall with different wardrobe.

Mel C was always #1 hotness as far as I'm concerned, I never really fancied the others much.

there was meant to be like 'a spice for everyone' or whatever but where was the bookish specs-wearing spice in a cardi and DMs with posh-goth hair and a flowery dress?

look indie spice would defeat the whole purpose ok

Twee/indie arty kids liked the Spice Girls enough anyway, they were the "My Humps" of their day

Mel Catpower!

xpost

yeah and now Posh is the one with a L Word haircut, go figure.
speaking of such haircuts, rowr:

lol cold

Stimulating musical debate going on here.

Your "here" link doesn't work :(

I suppose the main attraction will be seeing how long they can stay on the same stage without fighting, or whether Lady Robot will still be content with standing and glowering at the back as in days of old.

It's nice and endearing to have them back, though - certainly more so than Take That Mk II with Mark Owen's increasing physical and vocal resemblance to a squashed Jack Duckworth.

"Vera! I'm back again! I tell you I'm back again!"

With the exception of Posh, who now resembles a stick insect with freak boobs, they all look better than they did ten years ago.

only in keeping with what people talked about first time round though. i'm all for nostagia!

Will the tour be sponsored by AutoTune or ProTools ?

Frankly they are gorgeous (bar La Beckham; the richest one looks the worst, quelle surprise)!

I like the fact that they did the photo session at Greenwich Royal Observatory (straddling the world, mm-hmm...) though sadly an assiduous search of Google Images did not reveal a shot of them holding up Victoria as per human lightning rod conductor to ward off oncoming storms...

I guess Posh always fulfilled the role of group mascot, in the manner of, say, Eddie from Iron Maiden.

Marcello, I love you (for saying these things). :-)

She added: "I think for us it was about celebrating the past, enjoying each other and it's about our fans. It was the right time. money."

Personally I could care less if they reformed or not. Much like Take That, this is better left buried. That said, they do all look gorgeous except robo-bitch Beckham whose only weight is ambition. She looks like a complete freak, worse than a Barbie doll, to be honest. I had a good laugh when some article talked about Baby Spice having the most successful solo career.

Posh has always been gross, but she's even worse now.

Amber and Alice are well keen for this.

Butbutbut what is this HERESY re Take That 2.0?

Eddie never had giant silicon funbags as big as the one's attached to Mrs. Beckham these days. (xpost)

Didn't you see them at Wembley on Sunday? Talk about the wind beneath their wings... (xpost)

so like are there any diamond in the rough Spice Girls album tracks? Someone have a POV non-singles? Just wondering.
