The ladies then took the show around the stadium where they sang “Spice Up Your Life” from the tops of the cars.

The Spice Girls and all the other closing ceremony performers had an audience of 80,000 in attendance and an estimated 300,000 million viewers.

Viva Forever! gets it girl power cred not only from Posh (Victoria Beckham) Ginger (Geri Halliwell) Sporty (Melanie Chisolm) Baby (Emma Bunton) and Scary (Melanie Brown) Spice but also from Judy Craymer, the creator of Mamma Mia! the female bonding musical featuring ABBA‘s catalog. It was such an international hit, it spawned the movie with Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried.

 ”We’re going to be introducing a whole new generation to `Girl Power,”‘ said Victoria Beckham.

Not biographical, the musical will debut on London’s West End later this year focuses on a mother and her talented daughter Viva, who is part of a girl group. The group auditions for a music competition show but Viva is the clear standout and is forced to ditch her gal pals for her shot at fame and fortune.

 Melanie Brown has revealed that she and her Spice Girls sisters are planning to reunite in honor of Queen Elizabeth‘s Diamond Jubilee.

Brown spilled the news during a TV appearance in Australia.  When asked to confirm rumors that the girls are performing at the 2012 Olympics opening ceremonies in London, she said:

“I think the Queen’s Jubilee concert is the event I’d be looking at more closely for that to happen. I’m always down for a Spice Girls reunion.  I love the Scary hair and platforms. Any time of day or night I’ll be there.”

Backstage, she reportedly told the TV crew that she had revealed too much.

“I am going to be in such strife for saying that. It’s all so totally bloody top-secret still.”

Whoops.  Well, you can’t unring a bell, so all we can do at this point is look forward to the show.

The year-long celebration marks the monarch’s 60 years on the throne of England. Although there are events scheduled throughout 2012, most of the festivities will center around the first weekend in June; Elizabeth was crowned Queen on June 2, 1953.

Who wants more Spice Girls in their life? I know I do. I can’t get enough. Following their 2007 reunion tour, there has been a buzz on what the five ladies would be up to next.  Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) started tongues wagging recently when she said that they were working on a new project, but she would not give anymore details than that.

Now we know. Get ready for a Spice Girl musical!

“The project is Geri (Halliwell)’s baby, really, but all the girls are backing it. The idea is for five relatively unknown actresses to take the parts and hopefully the girls will each have a say in who is cast”.

The Spice Girls consist of Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice) and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice). The play will follow all five of the women on their road to becoming the mega group in the 90s.

Will you be watching a Spice Girls musical? Or did you have enough of them a decade ago?

It seems the fashion trend of the week for celebrities is dressing in white and forgetting your pants. Yesterday Lindsay Lohan pulled it in New York and Geri Halliwell was in London pulling off a pants free night.

Geri was at a friends birthday bash in Notting Hill wearing very little clothing as you can see in the pics.  I don’t know why these celebs do this?  Haven’t they learned that the paps are always there, waitng for an upskirt moment?

Other than the lack of pants, Geri looked gorgeous.  I am loving her hair and fresh face, just try for pants next time girl!

Geri Halliwell and her puppies were snapped on vacation in Sardinia with her (their?) boyfriend Henry Beckwith.   Goodness gracious!  The girls were popping out all over the place from not one, but two bikini tops.

I can understand wanting to show off your assets, but this is kind of ridiculous!

Mel B‘s burlesque show Peepshow debuted in Las Vegas last week, and it looks like quite a performance. The former Spice Girl

stars as Peep Diva, described as ‘a bold and powerful woman with all the answers’, who acts as the mistress of ceremonies… She guides the timid Bo Peep, played by American TV starlet Kelly Monaco, on a journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening.

Kelly’s character blossoms into a ‘sexy, daring, provocative and more confident woman’ with Mel’s expert help.

Highlights of the show include paint being poured on a man tied up in a bed, and Mel dragging a topless man across the stage. Not so sure about this hackneyed storyline, but there is no doubt that Mel looks amazing.   If you’re going to be in Vegas in the next three months, catch the show at Planet Hollywood.  And in the meantime, you can peep photos from Peepshow here.
