Spice Girls announce tour
The Spice Girls have finally made their reunion plans official after months of speculation. Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm appeared at a press conference in London today to announce an 11-show world tour. Beginning Decembewr 7, the two-month tour will stop in LA, Las Vegas, NYC, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Capetown and Buenos Aires. “We’re celebrating the past!” Halliwell aka Ginger Spice said at the press conference. “I want to be a Spice Girl again,” added Bunton or Baby Spice. “We are like sisters and we have our arguments, but by the end of the day we get back together.”
Posh wins in suit against Star mag
Victoria Beckham won an undislosed amount in damages from Star mag after the tabloid claimed that the crew of her upcoming reality show called her “picky, demanding and rude” and “full of herself and not very nice.” Beckham’s lawyer told a court in Britain that the comments were published before filming on the former Spice Girl’s show had even started. “The story was therefore completely inaccurate and defamatory of Ms. Beckham,” he contended. The publishers of the magazine have issued an apology and agreed to pay Beckham’s legal costs and “substantial” damages.
Posh shows her diva side
Rumors are rampant that there was trouble behind the seams of Victoria Beckham‘s new denim line, dVb. The Spice Girl alum spoke few words to the press at last Thursday’s grand unveiling at Saks last Thursday, saying the new jeans were “wonderful” and she was “so excited” to be involved. Beckham was no joy to work with, according to insiders. “The partnership with Rock & Republic was terminated,” said an insider close to the label. “Victoria was horrible to work with – indecisive and inconsistent and generally not present at all. She attached her name to it but didn’t want to do any of the work – unless she was promoting the line in front of the cameras, of course.”
Jen’s new guy on the town with Posh
Why was Jennifer Aniston‘s new man Paul Sculfor spotted having dinner with Victoria Beckham this weekend? Turns out they’re old friends. “He’s just an ex-boyfriend of a friend,” Posh’s rep explained. A longtime friend of Beckham, makeup artist Maria-Louise Featherstone, dated the hunky model when the pair were growing up just outside of London. “Maria-Louise and Paul remained friends after they split,” says a friend. “Victoria knew Paul when the two were dating. She hasn’t seen him for about ten years so it was a great chance to catch up.” Looks like Sculfor is on his way to fame and a career in the U.S. – not only is he squiring Jennifer Aniston around town, the cameras were rolling during his dinner with Beckham for her upcoming reality series.
Posh backs out of TV show
Reality TV fans might be disappointed to learn that Victoria Beckham has pulled out of a deal to star in a reality show about her move to the U.S. with husband David Beckham and their three children. The former Spice Girl told a British paper that family comes before fame. According to a source, “the TV series was a great launchpad for her career…but she felt she was being pushed into a corner and David was obviously always going to take priority.”
Posh’s pricey pout
Us mag has a little “expose” on Victoria Beckham and the plastic surgery she may have had over the years (well…we know those breasts aren’t real). Present day pics are compared with shots from March 1993, when aspiring 18-year-old dancer Victoria Adams had a few promo pics taken. Here’s what the “experts” say:
Cheeks ($3,000): “They’re more sculpted, maybe from weight loss or buccal fat removal.”
Lips ($2,000): “Both bottom and lower are more prominent, suggesting Juvederm or collagen injections every few months.”
Eyes ($8,000): “Her eyebrows drooped and now they’re arched. In my opinion, that’s a forehead lift done beautifully, not Botox.”
Nose ($11,000): Nasal refinement surgery, according to one NYC plastic surgeon. “The bridge looks thinner, and the tip is narrower and slightly turned up.”
Chest ($10,000): “Most women have smaller breasts as they lose weight, not bigger.”
Posh and Becks find LA home
Victoria and David Beckham have finally found a “house” in LA. The multimillion dollar home is “modern, airy, very light and spacious with lots of windows,” says a source. “It still needs a bit of work inside.” The deal is nearly finalized, but the source says Victoria Beckham is due to land in LA today to sign off on the contract. “She will meet with interior designers, discuss fixtures and all aspects of the house plan before flying out shortly afterwards.” Another insider confirms the news, saying, “It is done. They’ve found the perfect property for themselves in Beverly Hills… The house they’ve chosen is big but not huge. That said, it is big enough for them as a family of five, along with additional space for family members that will visit from Britain. They needed a fair amount of extra room for visitors as [guests] will stay awhile longer than [they did during] visits to them in Spain.”
Posh and Becks upset over leak of photos
Victoria and David Beckham are reportedly upset with design guru Ralph Lauren after finding out he had sent photos of their sons to the press. Paparazzi pictures of Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham wearing Ralph Lauren duds at the christening of Geri Halliwell’s daughter circulated the tabloids without the Beckhams’ approval. “Neither of them gave their consent for this – as far as they were concerned they went to a friend’s private christening with their kids,” a source told a British paper. “It’s one thing if they are on the red carpet or at a showbiz bash, but this is just ridiculous – and totally irresponsible… They couldn’t believe that Ralph Lauren seemed to be going out of its way to encourage people to use pictures of their children. It’s exploitative and was clearly done to boost sales of the clothes.”
