Spice Girls Reunite

[METALMAN]

LONDON (Reuters) - The Spice Girls, who burst on to the music scene with "girl power" and attitude in the 1990s, have reunited for a world tour, their Web site said on Thursday.

"Hey everybody!! We're back!! Can you believe it!!" Ginger, Sporty, Posh, Scary and Baby Spice announced on their Web site.

The Web site said the group had come together for a world tour and provided a link for fans to buy tickets in 11 cities across the world starting on December 7 in Los Angeles.

The five-member band is the latest in a long line of pop acts to bury past differences and reform, hoping for success where many others have failed.

The Spice Girls boasted album sales of 55 million during their brief career, and hits including "Wannabe" and "Say You'll Be There" topped charts across the globe.

But the success was short-lived, with Geri "Ginger" Halliwell leaving in 1998, four years after The Spice Girls was created, and the remaining band members going their separate ways after releasing the album "Forever" in 2000.

All now in their 30s, the singers embarked on solo careers with varying degrees of success, and rumours that they may one day reform have circulated for years.

Victoria "Posh" Beckham has maintained the highest profile since the band split, helped by her superstar soccer-playing husband David and regular appearances at fashion shows and on tabloid front pages.

The couple are moving to the United States where David has signed to play for LA Galaxy, and Victoria aims to carve out a career of her own in fashion and television.

Meanwhile, Melanie "Scary" Brown largely disappeared from the public eye until a high-profile paternity case involving Hollywood star Eddie Murphy.

Earlier this month a DNA test confirmed Murphy as the father of Brown's newborn baby girl after he declined to publicly acknowledge paternity.

OH SWEET HOLY BEJESUS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

About time too. I now can no longer look sad for owning the Spiceworld Movie. That movie is good, I don't care what anyone says!

Every boy and every girl,

Spice up your life!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Slam iy to the left

If you're having a good time

Shake it to the right

If you know that you feel fine

Pfffttt...2 Become 1 = best Spice Girls song. It's awesome. Though, I've always wanted confirmation that it was 'Posh' who sang the low parts...and if so, what happened to her testicles?

I never owned Spice World, and to be honest I don't really want to.

ZIG-a-ZIG-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

They're obviously talking about desperately wanting some zig-zags.

They should collaborate with Three Six Mafia or Eminem, in that case.

I bet Posh's kids had heard tales about the so-called Spice Girls, but just laughed them off as stories to get them to sleep.

Sure the kids will look popular at school when their mam is running round singing that

[Bigal]

Notice how Posh doesn't sing anything on her own in that song?

Did that article mention the new lip synching invention thingy?

I read it in the paper. They prerecord 'perfect' versions of all the material for the shows, and keep it on this computer thingy.. then they perform live on stage, and if their voices deviate from the prerecorded stuff by too much, the computer kicks in and either adjusts the way their voice sounds, or plays the prerecorded thingys.

I think.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Do you really expect them to sing on a tour?

Or did they actually sing on past tours as opposed to Steps?

[The Kraig]

Five failed singles careers later...WE'RE BACK~11~!!~

Should be a laugh, though.

[gunnar hendershow]

It'll make for a good nostalgia run for them, but given that they don't have the same stylish appeal that they did back in the 90's would make trying an actual comeback pretty pointless.

[livid]

Hmmm..makes sense. It comes to light that there might be a Led Zeppelin reunion tour. Then this comes out. Both ends of the spectrum indeed.
