Victoria TrackHer
Victoria jetted off yesterday to Euro 2000 with the rest of the England players' wives and girlfriends. Victoria defied critics who claimed she was going to snub the other player's partners because she thought she was too famous to mix with them. Dressed in a denim jacket, jeans, and baseball cap, the 26-year-old singer flew out of Stansted with the other girls to watch husband David play in England's first match of the tournament against Portugal.

Emma TrackHer
Emma was recently out with four friends at the Kabaret club in London's West End. Here is a picture of her that night.

Victoria has once again stated that she wants more children in an interview with Heat Magazine(UK), and has also given a time table when we can maybe expect the next one. Victoria said:
"Nothing will put me off having more children, I want at least three more. We've bought a huge house and I want to fill it with children. I've always been in a family where there's loads of people round the dinner table and the telly's on in the background, and I want to create the same kind of atmosphere. In an ideal world I'd like to wait at least a year."

Victoria also talked about the death threats she and her family have received recently(Story):

"We've had threats of kidnapping and violence too. I think it's sad that wherever Brooklyn goes he has to have a bodyguard with him, but every mother will do whatever it takes to protect their child."

Scary Spice Melanie B talks about her divorce and future plans in the latest issue of Hello! Magazine(UK). Mel says:
"I'm happy! Hopefully we will be divorced in three months, although we are legally separated. It was actually a relief. It has cost me a lot of money, too much, but as long as he's gone. She(her mother) didn't even want to come to the wedding!"

"Five years from now? Still in the industry. Still a Spice Girl. Hopefully, I will have another baby by then."

Melanie B has won the catagory she was nominated in at the EMMA awards(Story). She won the public figure of the year award for helping in AIDS awareness. Last year while heavily pregnant Mel appeared naked on a charity AIDS awareness poster. Correction to the below post: it appears that the awards took place this past Monday.

During a recent interview on the Jerry Springer UK interview show, Melanie B said her debut solo album will be entitled Hot.

Rodney Jerkins, one of the main producers on the Spice Girls' third album, was recently interviewed by Black Beat Magazine(US), and there were some bits about Spice Girls:
Magazine: What in the world are you doing with the Spice Girls?!!

Rodney: Aww man, it came out phenomenal! I originally did three songs, and then they wanted me to do more songs. Believe it or not, I think people are gonna be shocked at how good they sound.

Magazine: You got them singin'?

Rodney: Yeah, they sound good. I mean, they sound like the Spice Girls, you know it's them. With the songs that I did, I wanted to give a mixture. I wanted to do one that was strictly Darkchild and make you dance. So I did something like that. Then I wanted to do something on their tip, something pop and uptempo. Something that I haven't done, that can take me to another level, that can make Backstreet Boys and N'Sync call.

Victoria has been in negotiations with representatives from Playboy Magazine(US) in Los Angeles over the past week. Playboy wants Victoria and David to pose for a spread in the magazine later this year. When she first heard about it Victoria said "No way!", but then husband david asked "How much would we have to show?" The magazine told them that they would not have to pose completely nude and could cover parts of their bodies up however they want. The figure that is being discussed for the deal is about $1 million. Victoria also said that if they agreed to it she would want to pick the photographer and would have to approve all the pictures before they are published.

MelC Melbourne Radio Interview
Melanie C will be doing an interview with Andy Grace and Jennifer Bert for Melbourne's Most Wanted(a top 40 show). The station is 101.1 TTFM and the interview will take place this Monday, May 15th, at 9pm Australian Eastern Time.

Victoria's week spent in Los Angeles has not been all fun and games. Victoria was distressed for much of the past week because her two year old niece Liberty Lawrence was rushed to a hospital with serious breathing problems. Victoria's sister was on vacation in Spain when she had to rush her daughter to the hospital when she woke in the middle of the night with a soaring fever and gasping for breath. Victoria at one point was ready to fly to Spain to be at the bedside of her sick Niece. However she managed to calm down a bit and told her sister that she and David are praying for them and if they need anything just to call them. It is last reported that Liberty is doing better and recooperating in the hospital from the problem.

Sporty Spice Melanie C in a recent interview talked about the third Spice Girls album and said:
"We have got some mums in the band but it's not a mature album, it's still cheeky and fun, and very danceable to when you're drunk."

Heat magazine has conducted an interview with Sporty Spice Melanie C. In the interview Mel reveals some new information about the third Spice Girls album. The first single off the album will be a ballad entitled "Let Love Lead The Way" and will be released in August, with the full album coming in September. Melanie said about "Let Love Lead The Way":
"It's just about love conquering all, really. Highs and lows, happy times and sad times - it's about life."

Mel also assured fans of the quality of the third album:

"People keep expecting rubbish from the Spice Girls, but the Spice Girls are never gonna give rubbish."

Mel also said that the third album which is still untitled will be more r&b based the the previous two and is currently in the mixing stages.

Victoria gave a £10,000 emerald earring to husband David on his recent birthday since he just got his ear pierced. She kept the gift a secret until she gave it to him last week when they were vacationing in Italy.

There was a ruling today in the London High Court case of the pre-fame Spice Girls home videos(Story). There are four videos in total which show how life was before Spice Girls made it big, from 1994 through 1995. Judgement was for the defendant Neil Davies and Helen Bowers, the widow of the producer Matthew Bowers. Justice Pumphrey declared that Davis and Bowers are the sole owners of the videos and dismissed the idea that former business partners Steve Newmanand and John Gaudino each were entitled to a one-third share of Davies' 50 percent interest in the recordings after they claimed they were in partnership with him when the videos were produced. Davies, Newmanand, and Guadino were involved in a company called Rave Productions which was setup only after the videos were already recorded.
Ok, now release the videos please!

There is an update on the Official Melanie C Website news page which says:
Things Will Never Be The Same Again !

It's not just the UK that's been hit with Melanie mania ; now Europe's got mega Mel-itis,too. Melanie's phenomenally successful third single, Never Be The Same Again, has been no. 1 in seven countries so far ; Sweden, Norway, Holland, UK, Arabia, Thailand and wait for it.....Estonia !!! What's more, the fab Northern Star is about to top the ONE MILLION mark. To date, it's gone gold in Canda, Denmark and Ireland - and platinum in the UK. Way to go !

Victoria is back to her good old dark brown hair color. If you've been keeping up she had it streaked blonde a little while ago, then completely blonde. Here is a picture of Victoria from a couple days ago at a soccer ceremony which she attended with her husband David and their son Brooklyn.

Ex "GINGER" spice girl Geri Halliwell has commemnted in a recent interview to marie claire that she was glad she left the most sucsessfull all girl pop group in the world, when she did!
"at the end of the day it was a very hard disicion, but im glad i left when i left."
"the girls were very set on continuing our world tour into australia and asia, and recording a 3rd spice girls album."
"its now two years on and still they havent released anything. Not to be nasty but i dont think i could have waited two years or more to release a 3rd spicegirls album"
"this industry is so cliche...one minute your at the top, the next your nobody. Its so important to keep your foot in the doorway, so to speak, always in the publics face, cause at the end of the day the fans are the ones who put u at the top, and you really owe it to them to constantly come up with new music and performances."
This is the first bitter attack Ex ginger spicer has made towards the girls since her departure in may 1998.
Seems she too see's that the future of the spice girls..is well non exisitent.

Posh Spice Victoria Beckham has recieved another death threat. This threat was sent via regular mail like previous ones. It included a picture of Victoria and her husband David cut out from popular London Tabloid The Mirror. The picture was manipulated showing a bullet flying toward Victoria's head as well as blood pouring from her head. Beside the picture is a message that says: "You ??????? whore. You are going to get whats coming to you." This is just after the Beckham family returned from vacation in Florence on Wednesday. Victoria immediately contacted police. Security has been increased around the Beckham's and their families' homes. Detectives are now carrying out forensic tests on the letter and envelope, which was posted from the Stockport area of Greater Manchester.
