Ginger Spice, the Driving Force Behind the Spice Girls Reunion

Years from now, when I'm an old woman, I'll be telling my children's children that I was old enough to remember both times that the Spice Girls enjoyed their time performing together as a group. Truly it is a monumental enough of an event for the history books to refer to this as "an exciting time." And the woman who was instrumental in this second coming is Geri Halliwell. When talk of a reunion first started, it was apparent that the biggest obstacle would be convincing Victoria "Posh" Beckham to join the ladies. Out of all of the former Spice Girls, she least needed the money and had been left the most bruised by Geri Halliwell's abrupt departure from the group. However, it was Geri who took it upon herself to convince Victoria to give it a second go.

A top-level source in the Spice Girls' inner sanctum -- talking on condition of anonymity -- told me yesterday: "Geri began getting in contact with Victoria again in 2004. She knew how hurt Victoria was but she also knew how to push the right buttons.

"Geri broke down in front of Victoria, apologised for leaving the band in the way she did and begged for her forgiveness.

"She also told Victoria how awful her life was at the time. She was lonely, confused, didn't have a man and didn't even have a place to call home. Victoria started to feel sorry for Geri."


Well-played, Ginger. She should consider changing her name to Knows How to Appear Sympathetic Spice. Or Paprika.

Hmmm, I thought that Posh looked like the Spice least pleased to return. However, if Geri called the group 2gether, what's up w/ the dress? At least make an effort!

Geri in control? I disagree, from what I've been reading it's Victoria who is the ringleader, she wants the reunion, the money and a boost to her massive EGO. It was Mel C who wasn't really keen on the idea but millions of dollars are at stake here.

There are stories that Vicky is being a bossy cow by wanting the girls to follow a special diet and exercise. But as already seen there maybe a possible hissy fit going on and the tour hasn't even started yet.

Geri looks like Strawberry Shortcake™. Or is it just me?

Hmmm, you're right, SG13. Regarding Vick's diet/exercise demands, a lil' diet & exercise never hurt anyone, even if the other girls r still within the range of their late-90s bodies (if u review old pix) -

I love this picture of the Spice Girls. Everyone looks happy and cute except for Posh, who pretty much looks like an alien. An emaciated alien with bolt-on boobs. Does this woman ever smile?

God, Posh looks like she's just on the verge of a major wardrobe malfunction......this woman rarely chooses clothing that actually flatters her. Remember girls, none of us are teenagers any more.

My gawd that woman looks like a blow up sex doll. Isn't their audience pre-adolescent girls?

That's actually a wax Posh, right? Or an animatronic Posh? Look at the pose, and definitely the boobs! It's hilarious!
Maybe she couldn't show up in person, or the other girls deliberately didn't invite her. x)

I have renamed Vicky from Posh spice to Barbie spice, because she is skinny with plastic tits.
