This is major!

The Spice Girls just announced that they have a documentary in the works called In Spice Girls: Giving You Everything.

“While the band prepare for “The Return Of The Spice Girls” world tour, a film crew is working with the girls to create a documentary that will be screened on BBC One in the UK. In Spice Girls: Giving You Everything, the girls will tell their own story for the first time, covering the history of the band from the very beginning to the present day. Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria will share their thoughts and personal memories about being part of the biggest girl group in pop history.”

As if that’s enough enough, Mel B just blogged a bit about their “Headlines” music video:

“Alright you lot,

Wow, what a busy few days I’ve had… it’s been mental but brilliant at the same time. As you know, I flew to the UK with Victoria last week so that we could hook up with the other girls to shoot the video for our new single “Headlines (Friendship Never Ends).” It was a really, really long day but I think that’s because we all sat around drinking tea and gossiping like a bunch of old women! We had such a laugh. It was great to be together again and I think the video is going to look fan-bloody-tastic. I can’t wait to see it finished and on TV.

Hopefully you will have heard the single by now as it was played on radio on Tuesday morning. We are really pleased with it and hope that you will love it as much as we do. I can’t wait to perform it for the first time with the rest of the girls.

I’m back in LA now as I’m Dancing With The Stars. I was so pleased with the judges’ comments this week. I was really nervous about the performance as I had such little time to practice but I think the other girls brought me luck. I really enjoyed dancing to “Spice Up Your Life.” My dancing partner Maks was with me in the UK so that we could practice our routine in-between takes of the video. Although I think the other girls scared him a bit – but that’s what Girl Power is all about.

I’m so excited about the tour and soon we will all be together in LA so we can really get stuck in to rehearsals. It is going to be such an AMAAAAAAZING show, so I hope you’ve all got your tickets!

See you all soon

Melanie B“

The Spice Girls also launched a brand new blog via their official website. Per Mel C:

“Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the first blog!

Wow, there is so much to tell you! Things are really hotting up now with the tour preparations. Emma, Victoria, Geri and I had a fantastic meeting with Roberto Cavalli’s team last week, the costumes for the tour are going to be AMAZING!! It’s so exciting to work with such talented and lovely people, we feel very lucky. I hope you’ve all been watching Mel B on Dancing With The Stars, she’s doing brilliantly and we are all very proud. She’s flying over today and we’re going to be shooting our video for Headlines (Friendship Never Ends). We’ll also be doing lots of filming for our documentary. It’s really fun reminiscing and it is actually quite emotional.

I’ve got a busy couple of weeks promoting my solo single, This Time. I was in Manchester at The Key 103 Awards on Wednesday evening and on the breakfast show yesterday morning, announcing our new gigs. I’ll also be on Graham Norton, Loose Women and The One Show, so tune in for plenty of Spice gossip!

We really can’t thank you enough for your amazing support, this tour is going to be incredible.

Not long to go guys!! SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!

Lots of love,

Melanie C” More Here! »

The Spice Girls are planning to shell-out about $14-20 million on a trio of jets for their comeback tour, it has been claimed.

Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell will be flown across the world in a customized Boeing 757 (dubbed Spice Force One), which includes a dining room, business center, media center and sleeping quarters.

“Spice Force One will be a flying palace,” one source said. “Along with the immediate entourage, the girls will have a team of chefs and nannies who will be on hand 24/7 to feed and look after all the VIPs on board.”

Two other aircrafts, renamed Spice Force Two and Three, will carry the group’s dancers, other staff and equipment.

The Daily Mail did a mock-up of the jet with their reunion artwork (pictured above).

Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, gives a no-holds-barred interview to HELLO! magazine. She talks intimately about the secret wedding to her “best buddy” film producer Stephen Belafonte and her two daughters — 8-year-old Phoenix Chi and her 4-month-old baby Angel Iris.

On Stephen’s relationship with his 3-year-old, Gisele: “When you see a man around his daughter and they’re so hands on… it’s just gorgeous.”

On Stephen’s surprise proposal (two months after Angel’s birth): “I took one big, deep breath and said, ‘Yes’ “as well as going, ‘Thank you, God! Don’t let me down a third time’.”

On how she is putting the difficulties of her relationship with Eddie Murphy (Angel’s father) behind her: “He gave me the best gift ever, which is a beautiful, healthy baby. How can I be mad at that?”
