CAVALLI SPICE

The Spice Girls came out in full support of designer Roberto Cavalli on the runway during the Roberto Cavalli Menswear Autumn 2008/Winter 2009 fashion show as part of Milan Fashion Week in Milan, Italy on Monday.

Cavalli was the one who designed the comeback tour costumes for Posh, Baby, Sporty, Scary and Ginger (Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham).

The Spice Girls and Virgin Atlantic owner Sir Richard Branson attend a photo call on Thursday to open a new terminal at Heathrow Airport in London, England.

Victoria Beckham (in Dina Bar-El), Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C were all in attendance although poor Emma was on crutches.

Melanie Brown and Victoria Beckham take their husbands to cheer on fellow Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm at her solo acoustic show at the Mint in Los Angeles Thursday night.

Stephen Belafonte was seen holding wife Mel B’s hand all night. David Beckham was seen with his arm wrapped around Posh.

On yesterday’s Barbara Walters special, Becks said: “I’d love two more children. I’ve always wanted a big family, I love big families.”

Posh also mentioned how she keeps her slender frame: “I’m very, very health-conscious. I’ve never been one to eat lots of junk food.”

Here is the very first picture of Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham of the Spice Girls performing during their full dress rehearsal for The Return of Spice Girls World Tour at GM Place on Saturday in Vancouver, Canada.

Talking onboard the flight to Vancouver, Geri told thespicegirls.com: “I’m not nervous, just really, really excited.” Whilst Emma added: “I think it will hit me on Sunday. But I can’t wait to get on stage.” The Spice Girls World Tour kicks off tonight in Vancouver.

According to UK’s The Sunday Mirror, here are some of the surprises The Spice Girls have in store:

– Ginger Spice Geri will thrill male fans by stripping to her undies during a solo performance of her No. 1 solo hit “It’s Raining Men.” She’ll rip off her dress to reveal red, white and blue underwear - an echo of the famous Union Jack mini dress she wore at the Brit Awards 10 years ago.

– Raunchy Mel B will take to the stage in a skin-tight leopard-print outfit.

– Like Geri, Mel C and Baby Emma, [Scary Spice Mel B] will have a short solo stint during each concert, singing her solo hits and favorite cover versions.

– Victoria - by her own admission not the strongest vocalist in the Spice Girls - will not have a solo vocal spot. Instead, she will have her own fashion slot when she will strut up and down the catwalk, striking poses in designer gear.

HOW EXCITED ARE YOU? DOESN’T THIS MAKE YOU WANNA ZIG-A-ZIG-AH?

Here is the first behind-the-scenes video of The 2007 Spice Girls Reunion Tour!

Listen to Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm warm up with some vocal exercises, singing the “La La La” introduction to “Spice Up Your Life.”

Geri, 35, also talks about being forced to leave daughter Bluebell, 18 months, at home while she and the other Spice Girls prepare to kick off their world tour in Vancouver on Sunday.

“Bluebell caught chickenpox from Cruz (Victoria’s youngest son),” Geri said. “She’s now completely pelted now so I left her at home. Normally they’re running around the set.”

Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell admits that with all of the rehearsals for the Spice Girls’ world tour, she feels like she’s stuck in some sort of “Spice Bubble.” Her latest blog:

“Hi there,

So it’s 10.30pm and I got home half an hour ago. We just did a run through of the show; it’s feeling really good. It’s hard to tell u without giving too much away… but Simon Fuller, our manager, came down and he was blown away. I think we might surprise a few people. Actually, I never thought I’d say this (because I wasn’t part of the group when it was conceived so it was hard to be objective) but Holler is white hot. That’s all I’m saying otherwise the girls will kill me.

Okay, so backstage… it’s amazing to see how much goes into making a show – lights, catering, dressers, sounds, engineers, crew – it’s like a travelling circus.

I actually feel like I’m in the Spice bubble… we are encapsulated in this world where we are just immersed in each other’s lives constantly.
Just before the run through of the show this morning, Mel B, Victoria and I even went to the loo together… in separate cubicles, obviously!

But of course… there’s also my daughter Bluebell. She loves hanging with the Beckham boys. Cruz and Bluebell have play dates, and Romeo – well, he is just gorgeous with her. Actually, it was a beautiful moment when we were rehearsing the other day and all of our kids were playing on the stage at the same time. It made me smile.

As you probably know, Mel B was in the live final of Dancing With The Stars and we surprised her on Monday down at the show. She was so shocked, it’s the first time we’ve ever seen her quiet! She was with us in rehearsals yesterday morning and then went to the studio in evening for the results show. She SO should have won… I’m very disappointed. But we are all so incredibly proud of her. You’re a winner to us Mel!

Okay, I have to go to bed in a bit as we are working really hard on the show and I need to get some rest. If you have a ticket for the tour, you really are in for a treat. Get ready to party!

Big X
