  • Emma Bunton: Baby Spice Attends Wedding of Ginger Spice, Geri Halliwell

    Emma Bunton–Baby Spice of the Spice Girls fame–attended the nuptials of Ginger Spice, Geri Halliwell in England on Friday.

    Geri Halliwell married Formula1 racing team boss Christian Horner at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire. Spice Girls Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm were unable to attend the wedding, but Melanie Brown–Mel B. or Scary Spice, as she is also known–was there with Emma Bunton to lend her support.

    In fact, both Emma Bunton and Mel B. were part of the procession, walking Geri Halliwell down the aisle. Emma Bunton’s two sons and Mel B.’s three-year-old daughter were part of the procession, too, as was Geri Halliwell’s nine-year-old daughter Bluebell.

    “Geri wanted her wedding to be a family affair with her own immediate relatives and her Spice Girls family,” a source said. “The Spice Girls were an important part of her life and she’s over the moon that Mel and Emma’s children can play a part.”

    Victoria Beckham sent her love to Halliwell ahead of the ceremony.

    Emma Bunton’s partner, Jade Jones, caught the bouquet. (Isn’t that supposed to be caught by a woman?)

    How exciting that Spice Girls Emma Bunton and Mel B. could be with Geri Halliwell on her big day.

    And congrats to both Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner.

    Geri Haliwell, a.k.a. Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls fame, married Formula1 racing team boss Christian Horner during a ceremony at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, England, on Friday.

    Two of the Spice Girls were in attendance at Geri Haliwell’s wedding. Emma Bunton–Baby Spice–was there. Her sons Tate and Beau served as page boys for the wedding procession. And Mel B., also known as Scary Spice, was there as well. Her three-year-old daughter was part of the wedding procession as well.

    Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) wasn’t able to be with Geri Halliwell on her big day, but was with her in spirit.

    She sent her love to Geri Haliwell via Twitter.

    Mel B. added some sentiments via Twitter as well.

    Geri Halliwell shared Instagram shots of the traditional ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue’ prior to her wedding ceremony.

    Something old.

    Something new.

    Something borrowed.

    Something blue.

    The blue ribbon is in honor of Geri Halliwell’s nine-year-old daughter, Bluebell Madonna.

    Following the wedding ceremony, Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner emerged from the church and shared a kiss on the front steps.

    Congratulations are certainly in order for Ginger Spice and Christian Horner as they start their life together as husband and wife.

  • Eva Longoria: Newest Member of the Spice Girls #LatinaSpice

    Eva Longoria joined members of the Spice Girls, celebrating David Beckham’s 40th birthday in Marrakech, Morocco on Saturday. While there, she dubbed herself the newest member of the Spice Girls–and used a hashtag to name herself #LatinaSpice.

    According to a report from Ryan Seacrest, all the original Spice Girls except for Melanie Brown–better known as Mel B., were present at the birthday bash.

    Maybe Eva Longoria felt she needed to fill in for the America’s Got Talent host?

    “I’m the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice,” Eva Longoria captioned a photo of herself with the rest of the Spice Girls, via Instagram.

    The Spice Girls didn’t perform at David Beckham’s birthday party, so Eva Longoria didn’t try her hand at singing with a girl band.

    Brooklyn Beckham–David and Victoria Beckham’s son–had a great time chatting and joking around with Longoria during his dad’s birthday party.

    “How did this happen? @brooklynbeckham not only beat me to 1M, he now has 2M?? #DB40,” Eva Longoria captioned this Instagram photo.

    Perhaps one day Eva Longoria will be known for her Spice Girl appearance instead of for her acting skills. Do you think the Desperate Housewives star may have found her new calling?

  • Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham: Spice Girls Reunion for David Beckham Birthday Bash

    Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, and more gathered together in Morocco–enjoying a Spice Girls reunion of sorts–in celebration of David Beckham’s 40th birthday. The only actual Spice Girl who wasn’t able to join the celebration was Melanie Brown–better known as Mel B.

    Eva Longoria was present at the birthday celebration, too, and decided she could certainly join Geri Halliwell and the others, and become a Spice Girl, too.

    She even has the perfect name for her new rock star status.

    “I’m the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice,” Eva Longoria wrote in the caption of an Instagram post.

    The Spice Girls rose to fame back in 1996. Hailing from the U.K., they included Mel B. (Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice).

    David Beckham was thrilled to have the Spice Girls–or at least most of them, plus Eva Longoria–present at his birthday bash.

    “Great to see these shy and retiring ladies. Never a dull moment,” he captioned a photo posted to his Instagram account.

    While many people say Victoria Beckham is a lucky woman–scoring a handsome hunk like David Beckham–they might just have it twisted around a bit. David Beckham certainly appeared to be a very lucky guy as he celebrated his 40th birthday. How many guys can say they were surrounded by Spice Girls Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham–and that honorary Eva Longoria, too–on his birthday?

  • Mel B Abuse Rumors Rear Again After Christmas Instagram [Pic]

    Back in mid-December, rumors were swirling that Mel B was ready to divorce her husband, director Stephen Belafonte. According to inside sources being quoted hither and yon at the time, Mel B was ready to bolt because Belafonte had hit her.

    Much of this speculation seems to have come about because Mel B, a former Spice Girl was serves as a judge on UK’s X Factor show, was absent from the show’s semi-finals episode due to an unspecified “illness.” When Mel returned the following week for the finals, she had what some reported appeared to be bruises. And many noted that she was not wearing her wedding ing.

    The Sun reported that Mel B had left the couple’s home and was eager to get on with life without Belafonte.

    Belafonte himself threatened legal action against the outlets promoting the rumors.

    “Who accused me of it, did she accuse me of it, the police, the hospital, who accused me of it? I thought when you beat someone up the police or the hospital or the person you beat up says it. You’ll see all the legal letters going out tomorrow. Everybody’s been contacted by Mel’s representative.”

    Mel B has two other children from previous relationships, including daughters Phoenix and Angel. She also has a daughter with Belafonte named Madison.

    But Mel B posted a picture to Instagram recently that showed her with Belafonte and all three daughters.

    Have a merry Christmas! #familytime #funday

    In addition, Belafonte posted this picture of himself out and about with Phoenix. When some commenters started bringing up the abuse rumors again, Phoenix herself ran to Belafonte’s defense in the comments.

    “Can everyone just chill he didn’t hit my mom don’t know how that stupid rumour came up.”

  • Stephen Belafonte Claims He Never Abused Mel B

    Stephen Belafonte, husband of former Spice Girl Mel B, says rumors that he abused his wife are simply not true. Fox News reports that Belafonte wasn’t even aware that the media was reporting the two had split up.

    “No one has accused me of anything,” Belafonte said in a recent interview.

    Mel B, who is a judge on the UK version of The X-Factor, missed the show’s finale because she was ill and was rushed to the hospital. Upon her return, fans noticed she had scratches and bruises on her arms. She also wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.

    Stephen Belafonte says no one has formally accused him of physically harming Mel B. He added that her hospital stay was due to an illness and not abuse.

    “Who accused me of it?” he asked. “Did she accuse me of it, the police the hospital, who accused me of it? I thought when you beat someone up the police or the hospital or the person you beat up says it.”

    “I had nothing to do with hurting my wife. I did not touch Mel. I wasn’t cheating of anything. There was no girl involved,” he added.

    Stephen Belafonte took to Twitter last week to defend himself from rumors stating he had physically abused Mel B. He also confirmed that he has returned to L.A. and is accompanied by the couple’s nanny. Mel B and Belafonte share a three-year-old daughter named Madison. Mel B has yet to comment on any of these rumors or reports.

    Incidentally, Stephen Belafonte was charged with physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Nicole Contreras back in 2007. He denies this as well.

    Do you think Mel B is the victim of physical abuse and if so, is it at the hands of her husband, Stephen Belafonte?

  • Mel B: Is Marriage to Stephen Belafonte Over?

    Mel B has reportedly moved out of the London home she shares with husband Stephen Belafonte, fueling rumors that her marriage is over. The America’s Got Talent and X-Factor UK judge was hospitalized briefly on Saturday for an undisclosed illness that sent her off for treatment while ‘screaming in agony.’

    According to Us Weekly, luggage and boxes were removed from the couple’s home just a couple of days later.

    “Mel’s marriage has reached crisis point–in fact it’s on life support,” a source tells them. “She has told friends it is over with Stephen.”

    Mel B appeared on the X-Factor’s season finale following her hospitalization, sans her wedding ring.

    “She knew what she was doing and wanted to send Stephen a clear message about her feelings,” the source adds. “Mel hasn’t spoken to Stephen once since her admission to the hospital last week and as it stands she doesn’t want to see him.”

    Another source claims Stephen Belafonte never visited Mel B while she was in the hospital.

    “It’s a very sad state of affairs given she could have died,” the source claims.

    Speculation about abuse on behalf of Stephen Belafonte has surfaced, but has yet to be confirmed. Those rumors were heightened when Mel B appeared on the X-Factor finale bearing scratches and bruises.

    Belafonte took to Twitter to dispel any notion of having abused his wife.

    The New York Post reports that the scratches and bruises were a result of Mel B’s medical care.

    What do you suppose has transpired between Mel B and Stephen Belafonte to prompt sources to say the marriage is over? And what kind of medical emergency do you suppose the former Spice Girls member suffered?

  • Mel B: I Was With a Woman for Four Years

    Last year, former Spice Girl Mel B made headlines when she revealed that she had, at one time or another, kissed not one or two but all of her fellow Spice Girls.

    “They’re my homies,” she told shock jock Howard Stern. “I had gotten my tongue pierced and I wanted to try it out. So I kissed them all!”

    Back then, Stern jokingly asked Mel B if she considered herself a role model for gays and lesbians. Scary Spice pulled the plug on the interview. It was written up as a legitimately angry walkout, but in hindsight, it was probably a joke.

    Now Mel B is revealing more ab out her love life, and it involves ladies again.

    In a recent interview with The Guardian, Mel opened up about a past relationship.

    “People call me lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual, but I know who’s in my bed and that’s it… I have a huge libido and a great sex life,” she confirmed.

    But was Stern on to something? Is she bisexual?

    “Well, I did have a four-year relationship with a woman,” she said. “But I’ve been very happily married for seven years to a penis. Ha ha! An amazing guy.”

    In another twist to the tale, E! Online reports that the woman with whom Mel B had this four-year run was a fellow school mom. The woman’s saughter went to the same school as Mel’s daughter.

  • Mel B Allegedly Obsessed With Sex

    Former Spice Girl Mel B is allegedly obsessed with sex and the obsession has caused problems between her and her friends.

    A source close to the singer told femalefirst.co.uk. that the obsession began when Mel B started dating Stephen Belafonte, who is now her husband.

    While it’s good for a married couple to have a healthy sex life, Mel B and Stephen allegedly can’t get enough of each other and have sex anytime they have some free time.

    They also talk about it all the time and bring it up in the midst of other conversations.

    They even ask other couples about their sex lives as well.

    “It can be uncomfortable to be around. Mel is just as up-front as her crude stereotype suggests. She seems to constantly talk about her sex life and ask you about yours. Some people just can’t handle being around her. Her and Victoria Beckham do not get along at all,” a source said.

    Mel B and Victoria go way back to the days when they were both Spice Girls, so it’s unfortunate that they are no longer speaking to each other.

    The Spice Girls was a popular girl band in the 90s, but in spite of their success, they fell apart after only a few years.

    While there were numerous rumors about what caused the group to split, Mel B claims that it was Geri Halliwell who caused them to fall apart.

    “When Geri left the group, it was bad. She left on my birthday, and didn’t tell anybody… Just didn’t show up,” she said.

    “We had the rest of the [‘Spiceworld’] tour. The American part of the tour…We had a five-year plan that got shortened after three years.”

    Hopefully Mel B can get over her obsession and get her friends back.

  • Simon Cowell And Mel B Are Already Fighting; ‘The X Factor’ Hasn’t Even Started Filming Yet

    The X Factor has not started filming yet, but two of the judges are already feuding, according to reports. Simon Cowell recruited Mel B from the Spice Girls to be the fourth judge on the singing show. According to sources, Cowell wanted Mel B on the panel of judges in order to create drama between her and judge Cheryl Cole.

    Mel B refused to play that role and said, “I won’t be your Miss Nasty.”

    A source close to Mel B said, “There is no way she is going to do that bitchy thing with anyone and has told Simon so.”

    The source also said that Cowell wants explosive television in order to reel in viewers. However, Mel B does not want to be part of that and she wants to avoid getting caught up with controversy. “She doesn’t want to be unnecessarily mean to anyone,” the source said.

    Another source said that both Mel B and Cheryl Cole understand that being a judge on The X Factor is a job. “Neither of them wants to be portrayed as a bitch. Just because they are young, attractive women working together doesn’t mean that they have to hate each other,” the insider said.

    Simon Cowell is an expert at being nasty

    Other reports have said that Cole is happy to have another woman in the panel. Cole and Mel B do not really know each other, however, Cole is happy that there won’t be any style wars happening, since Mel B’s style is so much different from hers.

    Mel B is a good addition to the panel of judges, as she already has experience judging. She was a judge for the Australian version of The X Factor, and also worked on America’s Got Talent.

    Mel B was revealed to be the fourth judge last week, replacing Sharon Osbourne. Louis Walsh also confirmed that he would be back as a judge this year.
