The Spice Girls Know How To Party

"Girls night out", an excited Melanie C tweeted

Victoria Beckham recently turned 40 (story), and she celebrated in style in Los Angeles, but her London friends threw a surprise party for her when she got back home.

The guest-list included people like Chris Martin, Guy Ritchie and Gordon Ramsay and obviously husband David Beckham, but two people stole the show: Baby Spice Emma Bunton and Sporty Spice Melanie C.

David and Victoria Beckham leaving the Arts Club

The mini Spice Girls reunion (Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell also attended) must have got the Girls really excited and in the mood for partying, because pictures of the them leaving London's Arts Club are so much fun, and they have made the headlines all around the World.

Friendship never ends, and the girls know how to have fun

Both Emma and Melanie stumbled on their way to the car when they left the party at 2AM, but still managed to look gorgeous. Jade Jones, Emma Bunton's partner was the perfect gentleman as he made sure Melanie (who, according to Emma, was the worst of the night) got to the car, then went back and did exactly the same with his lady. Watch the video below:



Victoria Beckham seemed delighted to have her Spice pals with her, she later tweeted:

"So much fun with Emma and Mel C at my party last night x vb"

She forgot to mention Geri Halliwell, who apparently was the sensible one, didn't drink a drop and drove herself home once the party was over.

Scary Spice Mel B was missing, probably only because she was busy working on America's Got Talent.

Despite the party finishing at 2AM, Emma Bunton was on London's Heart Breakfast around four hours later and talked about the party. Well, what she rememberd of the party! Listen below:

More Backstreet Spice Rumours. And Nick Gets Married!

The Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys back in their heyday

Rumours of a joint Spice Girls/Backstreet Boys tour have been doing the rounds for months now.

They were started by the boys themselves during an interview for Spanish TV (story) only to be denied by Baby Spice Emma Bunton during her morning radio show. Sporty Spice Melanie C was more vague, tweeting:

"Wouldn't it be amazing? Love BSB"

But then AJ and Brian Littrell denied that the tour was going to happen (story), with Brian going as far as saying:

"So I think the GIRLS are afraid of the BOYS. That's why they won't take to the stage. #SPICEGIRLS #BSB #BOYSvsGIRLS Just sayin"

Well, now the Backstreet Boys are talking about it again.

The Backstreet Boys are hopeful about a tour with the Spice Girls

AJ and Brian attended the MTV Movie Awards and spoke about the possibility of a joint tour with the Spice Girls.

According to US Weekly they are in the dark about the tour's likelihood. When asked if it will happen, they both said:

"I don't know", with Littrell adding:

"I think it would be fun! Battle of the sexes! If you want to be my - Hey, Backstreet's back!"

AJ McLean added:

"Hopefully! We'll have our fingers crossed. We'll see"

Is this all a way to generate interest and get the press to talk about it before the big announcement or are the Backstreet Boys using the rumours to make more people aware of their own tour, which has recently touched the UK, where they were supported by All Saints (story)?

Meanwhile, Nick Carter tied the knot with fiancé Lauren Kitt on Saturday. The pair had been engaged for a little over one year.

The ceremony took place in Santa Barbara, California, but Nick's brother, Aaron, didn't attend. Apparently he had contractual obligations to appear in the Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington, D.C..

The couple looked happy on their wedding day

You Know The 90s Are Back When...

All Saints back on stage

Having lived a lot of my teenagehood in the 90s (now why would I give away my age?) I can't help but find it exciting when trends, bands and movies from that memorable decade make a comeback.

Two years ago, when "Titanic" came out in 3D, I went to watch it as if it was 1997 all over again and cried my eyes out. I even waited for the credits to be over so that I could listen to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" before the lights went up and I was catapulted back to 2012.

When the Spice Girls are rumoured to be making a comeback the teenage boy in me starts fantasising about a tour and possible new music.

When Lady Gaga wears her Baby Spice shoes I think "HA! The 90s and their impact!".

And now, UK girlgroup All Saints are on tour with the Backstreet Boys. How about THAT?!

All Saints attacked the UK charts in late 1997, although they formed in 1993, but didn't hit the big time until they recorded a demo of "I Know Where It's At", which made its way to London Records. A deal was signed, and the girls recorded their debut album, "All Saints" .

The real success arrived in the shape of a million-selling #1 single called "Never Ever", two BRIT Awards and more #1 hits: the double A-side release "Under The Bridge/Lady Marmalade" and "Bootie Call".

In 2000 they released "Pure Shores", another massive hit for them and the soundtrack to Leonardo Di Caprio's "Beach".

Despite the constant comparisons to the Spice Girls, All Saints were a very different group.

They broke up after their second album, "Saints & Sinners" , and released a Greatest Hits compilation ("All Hits") by the end of 2001.

A reunion was inevitable, and in 2006 they released "Studio 1" , which contains their comeback hit single "Rock Steady". The comeback was short-lived; the second single "Chick Fit" was only released digitally and the girls called it quits again.

But now they're back! Rumour has it the tour with the Backstreet Boys is just the beginning of a new adventure for All Saints, but for now, their fans are just happy to have them back.

The setlist:

1. Chick Fit
2. I Know Where It's At
3. Bootie Call
4. Under the Bridge
5. Rock Steady
6. War Of Nerves
7. Black Coffee
8. Never Ever
9. Pure Shores 

I am very happy to have them back and I hope they are up to something. They were recently spotted filming in All Saints Street and some Twitter "insiders" suggest they are planning a tour with other 90s girlbands.

For now, you can get your tickets to see them on tour with the Backstreet Boys!

Melanie C: "We have Victoria's blessing for a Spice Girl reunion"

Rumours of a Spice Girls reunion go from strength to strength, as one member of the group, Sporty Spice Melanie C has revealed during an interview with the Daily Mail that the Girls have considered the idea of reforming without Posh Spice Victoria Beckham, who has several times declared that fashion is her passion and that her popstar days are over.

While Baby Spice Emma Bunton and Scary Spice Mel B denied the rumours of a tour with the Backstreet Boys, Melanie C said:

"We've talked about it. Victoria doesn't want to, which we completely understand. We are so proud of her and her incredible foray into fashion, it's incredible what she's achieved as a designer.

The four of us could consider it maybe. We have Victoria's blessing to do that!"

Online rumours suggested that a reunion announcement would take place this week, but as of now, nothing has happened. Scary Spice Mel B posted this snap on Instagram just a few hours ago:

But where is she going? Nobody knows. The body language has Spice fans guessing. Is she hiding a secret? Or is she just implying that you must keep quiet while one sleeps? Will Spice Girls 2014 happen?

It will all be clear this weekend. Hopefully!

Backstreet Boys NOT Touring With The Spice Girls

A joint World tour? Not gonna happen!

These past few days the World of 90s pop was shaken by rumours of a joint Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls World tour.

Months ago we wrote about a possible collaboration between the two pop supergroups, which was mentioned by the boys themselves during an interview for Spanish TV.

The rumours quickly dissolved and weren't mentioned again. Until yesterday.

Rumour has it that the Spice Girls are planning a reunion as a foursome, and since the sources aren't very reliable, The Sun must have thought: "Oh! Let's make those Backstreet Boys/Spice Girls tour rumours spread now!". And that is exactly what happened. They published the story, and the Internet went into overdrive.

Brian Littrell posted a picture of himself on his Instagram account tonight, with the caption:

"So I think the GIRLS are afraid of the BOYS. That's why they won't take to the stage. #SPICEGIRLS #BSB #BOYSvsGIRLS Just sayin"

While no one actually believes that the Spice Girls would be scared of anything, the fans of both groups can now stop speculating and the press can stop hyping up something that isn't going to happen.

You can also watch this interview with AJ where he mentions the rumours and reveals that there is nothing planned:


Unless this is all a game to drum up publicity before the announcement.
