haiku #1

she walked by at 1-
cinnamon & vanilla
he called her spice girl

haiku #2

jacaranda blooms
and the scent of sweet mangos
came in on the breeze

I am sorry if this video is culturally specific but there is a culture of emulating the worst behaviour in young males. Now we know that English history is filled with stories of drunken males having riots on the streets. The problem Britain had on with football hooligans in the nineteen eighties was just the latest manifestation rather than an isolated problem.

I will tell you were the problem first begun,in the nineteen nineties you had new media outlets celebrating lad culture and someone made a lot of money out of that. But then someone thought yes there is a market in having women equally drunk, equally having fights and equally into hooliganism.

You also had a group of untalented musicians called the Spice girls promoting "Girl Power" with their belly buttons pierced and talking real loud. But their fans started spilling on the streets and vomiting all over the place. I used to walk long distances on pavements but these days you have to make sure you are not stepping an deposits, it is terrible especially coming from girls.

But why should women behave this way, would any man marry any of these girls above? I tell you what these lads after this are going to go and look for virgins in churches, mosques and internet Christian dating websites.

Well the idea of the "Ladette to Lady" is that these girls can go to a traditional English finishing school and learn learn to behave. Maybe, but who was the worst behaved woman in Britain except Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, the original It girl. Long before there was a Paris Hilton. She was an upper class answer to the Spice girl and she eventually had to have a nose job because her original nose had consumed so much cocaine it was worn out. At least she went to rehabilitation and is sorting herself out. But in my experience is that the upper classes are more badly behaved but they know how not to do it in front of the lower classes.

The major problem for drinking culture is that British people need some substance abuse before they can have a decent conversation and lose their inhibitions. If the culture encouraged people to be freer there would be less need for alcohol. There is a solution for you, learn to be confident and friendlier without resorting to drink.

The Original It Girl

Speakout.

o, no, no, no x4

Listen little child.
There will come a day,
When you will be able,
Able to say.
Nevermind the pain,
Or the agrivation.
She knows there's a better way,
for you and me to be.

Look for the rainbow in every storm.
Fly like an angel,
Heaven sent to me.

Chorus:
Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

So glad we made it,
Time will never change it,
No, no, no

No, no, no, no

Just a little girl,
Big imagination,
never letting no one take it away.
Went into the world, (into the world)
What a revelation.
She found there's a better way for you and me to be.

Look for the rainbow in every storm,
Find out for certain,
Love's gonna be there for you,
You'll always be someone's baby.

Chorus:
Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

So glad we made it,
Time will never change it,
No, no, no

No, no, no, no

Bridge:
The times when we would play about,
The way we use to scream and shout.
We never drempt you'd go your own sweet way.

Look for the rainbow in every storm,
Find out for certain,
Love's gonna be there for you,
You'll always be someone's baby.

Chorus:
Goodbye my friend (I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end (You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)

So glad we made it,
Time will never change it,
No, no, no

No, no, no, no

No no no no - you know it's time to say goodbye No no no no - and don't
forget you can rely No no no no - you know it's time to say goodbye No
no no no - and don't forget on me you can rely No no no no - I will help,
help you on your way No no no no - I will be with you every day

Le ultime NEWS delle SPICE purtroppo non sono buone…

Dicono che per il grande FLOP del loro TOUR, la casa discografica non pubblicherà più il DVD previsto, del loro ultimo concerto… dicono che sarebbe una perdita di denaro!!! Sono cose da matti!!!

Il concerto è bello… Ho già visto qualcosa… E venderebbe sicuramente perché tutte le persone che non hanno visto il concerto dal Vivo lo comprerebbe!!!!! Compreso io!!!!

Le Spice sul loro sito ufficiale si scusano ancora del loro improvviso SECONDO scioglimento…

E aggiungendo che anche se il DVD non verrà pubblicato sperano di averci dato emozioni indimenticabili…

Si a un quarto di mondo… E gli altri???????????? BOHHHHHHHHHHHH…

Comunque consoliamoci di qualche live del Reunion Tour, girato con dei telefonini...

Non si sente molto bene... Ma a me piace perchè le URLA dei fans mi fanno capire che ci sono ancora molte persone che credono alla forza del GIRL POWER!!!! Anche se passati un po'di anni...

Ciao Spice Boys/Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Bheto...

:lol:

Het is maar wat tegenwoordig de stempel 'couture' krijgt.

Melanie Brown, beter bekend als Mel B lanceerde gisteren haar eigen kledinglijn Catty Couture. Bij de opening was haar echtgenoot Stephen Belafonte aanwezig om haar te steunen.

De Spice Girl lijkt de laatste tijd zich te richten op veel nieuwe projecten, zo werd eerder deze week bekend gemaakt dat zij het nieuwe gezicht wordt van het lingeriemerk Ultimo.
Met een deal van 630.000 euro op zak staat de rondborstige 32-jarige zangeres een sexy fotoshoot te wachten.

Mandatemi qualche commento...

Fatevi Sentire... Cosi potremo scambiarci delle idee e opinioni sulle nuovo canzoni e novità!!!

Io direi di cominciare dalle SPICE GIRLS visto che di storia ne hanno ben poca…

Le Spice Girls si sono formate quando Bob Herbert e il figlio Chris misero una annuncio sul giornale THE STAGE, il quale diceva che i due volevano formare un gruppo femminile di musica  POP…

Ovviamente a questo annuncio si presentarono molte ragazze tra cui: Geri  Halliwell, Melanie C, Melanie B, Victoria Adams  e  Michelle Stephenson, e furono proprio queste fra le centinaia di ragazze ad essere scelte. Il gruppo inizialmente si chiamò TOUCH… ma dopo poco tempo Michelle Stephenson disse addio al progetto, spiegando la sua scelta per delle incomprensioni con le altre componenti…

Cosi sotto suggerimento di Victoria, si trovò una sostituta, la cara amica Emma Bunton , cambiando così il nome in SPICE GIRLS…

Durante l’estate del 1995 le SPICE GIRLS registrarono molti pezzi, e rivolgendosi a molte case discografiche per pubblicare i loro lavori, alla fine la VIRGIN RECORDS accetto, di quella che sarebbe stata una delle GIRL BAND più famose degli anni 90…  

SPICE… THE FIRST ALBUM!!!!

L’8 Luglio 1996, fu una data importante per le SPICE perché era la data del lancio del loro primo singolo WANNABE , questo infatti era il singolo per il lancio del loro primo ALBUM…

Il singolo ebbe un enorme successo mondiale andando a superare la famosa canzone dei BEATLES

I Want to Hold Your Hand. Raggiunse la numero 1 in 31 Paesi ma non in Italia…

In Oltre visto il successo delle 5 ragazze Spezziate, TOP OF THE POP’S MAGAZINE, diedero loro dei Nick Name: BABY SPICE = EMMA  BUNTON, GINGER SPICE = GERI HALLIWELL, SPORTY SPICE = MELANIE C, SCARY SPICE = MELANIE B, POSH SPICE = VICTORIA ADAMS...

Il 4 Novembre dello stesso anno pubblicarono SPICE il loro primo album…

In appena 7 SETTIMANE l’album vendette 1.800.000 copie nella sola Inghilterra ed in totale 3.000.000… Sempre in Inghilterra rimase alla numero 1 per 15 settimane… In Europa vendette un totale di 8.000.000 di copie… Solo l’anno successivo questo arrivò negli Stati Uniti, e fu un sucesso anche li con più di 7.000.000 di copie e 7 dischi di platino…A proposito dei dischi di platino… In tutto l’album ricevette 64 DISCHI DI PLATINOOOOOOOOOOOO Mondialmente e più di 24.000.000 di copie sempre Mondialmente!!!!! Altri singoli di questo ALBUM furono:

SAY YOU'LL BE THERE: 1 Disco di Platino

2 BECOME 1: 2 Dischi di Platino

MAMA: 1 Disco di Platino, ed oltretutto questa canzone è stata scritta per le loro mamme

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE: 1 Disco di Platino

Tutti hanno raggiunto la vetta delle Classifiche Inglesi!!!

                                         SPICE  WORLD THE SECOND ALBUM!!! 

Dopo un anno giusto le SPICE Pubblicarono il loro SECONDO ALBUM di inediti!!! Anticipato dal MIO PREFERITO SINGOLO SPICE UP YOUR LIFE !!!! Anche questo singolo ebbe un successo grandioso… Soprattutto in Inghilterra che permise alle SPICE di avere il settimo singolo alla numero 1!!!! Anche se in tono minore rispetto al precedente, l’album ricevette 54 Dischi di Platino mondialmente e più di 15.000.000 di copie!!!

Altri singoli furono:

TOO MUCH: 1 Disco di Platino

STOP: 1 Disco d'oro, fino ad ora l’unico singolo ad non aver scalato le classifiche Britanniche… Nonostante ciò il singolo ebbe lo stesso un forte ascolto nelle radio di tutto il mondo…

VIVA FOREVER: 2 Dischi di Platino

Era stato programmato un altro singolo la scatenata NEVER GIVE UP ON THE GOOD TIMES

Ma poi cancellato dopo l’improvviso scioglimento da parte di GINGER SPICE dal gruppo.

Come già detto Ginger lascio il gruppo nel 31 MAGGIO 1998 per le stesse cause di Michelle Stephenson, per delle incomprensioni fra di loro, ma la causa più sicura di questo abbandonamento fu un possibile litigio con SCARY SPICE per la LEADER del gruppo…

Dopo che GINGER se ne andò le SPICE si videro molto dispiaciute ma dissero che loro volevano andare avanti con i loro progetti con o senza GINGER…

Questo fu approvato nel 1998 con lancio di quello che sarebbe stato il primo singolo del terzo Album delle 4 ragazze rimaste, GOODBAY, questo ebbe un enorme successo e superò persino WANNEBE con 5 Dischi di Platino!!!  

FOREVER… THIRD ALBUM!!!

Ben dopo due anni dall’ultimo singolo le SPICE  pubblicarono il loro terzo album, e primo album senza collaborazione di GINGER…

Le SPICE cambiarono si LOOK si STILE, forse per far dimenticare GINGER al più presto ai numerosi FANS. Il loro LOOK infatti era più ELEGANTE e MATURO abbandonando i vestiti che le Caratterizzavano negli anni prima… Invece lo STILE DI MUSICA era molto meno POP ma più R&B…L’album non ebbe molto successo fermandosi alle 4.000.000 di copi vendute con 5 Dischi di Platino, un FLOP rispetto i due album precedenti…Anche i singoli non furono un grande successo tranne in Inghilterra che raggiunsero le vette delle classifiche… Questi furono: 

HOLLER: 1 Disco di Platino

LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY: 1 Disco di Paltino

Altri singoli furono programmati ma dopo l’abbandono della promozione dell’album e soprattutto dopo il licenziamento delle ragazze dalla Virgin… non furono mai pubblicati… Questi furono:

 Weekend Love

If  You Wanna Have Some Fun

Tell Me Why   

Tutte canzoni che avrebbero potuto far successo… 

REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Dal 2005 si susseguono continue voci su una possibile REUNION, ma tutte poi smentite…Ma dal 2007, per il concerto di DIANA furono ivitate ma loro non poterono accettare poiché Emma era in dolce attesa…Poi finalmente il 28 GIUGNO 2007, le 5 ragazze confermarono la loro REUNION lasciando un intervista per illustrarne i loro progetti per questa REUNION…Verso Agosto viene aperto il nuovo sito sulla BAND…

I loro progetti furono un  Greatest Hits con qualche inedito ed un Tour denominato The Return of the Spice Girls con circa 47 Date, all’inizio erano inizialmente 11, ma visto la grande vendita di biglietti (A Londra in 38 SECONDIIII!!!!!!!!!!! vennero venduti dal primo all'ultimo biglietto) decisero di allungare i Tour…

Il 23 Ottobre 2007 esce l’attesissimo singolo Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) che non fu un grande successo anzi con 98.000 copie venduto e ora l’unico singolo ad non aver raggiunto la TOP TEN Britannica infatti si fermò alla 11,  in Italia il singolo raggiunse la seconda posizione…

E secondo me si meritava anche la prima…

Il tour parte da Vancouver con il SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!!! E finisce a Toronto il 26 Febbraio 2008, il Tour si dovrebbe essere allungato fino a Giugno per andare ad esibirsi anche in Australia, ma alla fine le SPICE ci dicono ADDIO per la seconda Volta… Aggiungendo 3 parole di M**** cioè  TUTTO E’ POSSIBILE…

Vedremo…

Vi Metto qualche immagine... Sperando che possa a farle ritornare insieme... Ne Dubbito Cmq !!!

                                            BABY SPICE!!!! La mia PREFERITA!!!!

                                                            GINGER and SPORTY SPICE

                                                POSH, GIGER and SCARY SPICE

He was born David Robert Joseph Beckham on May 2, 1975, in Leytonstone, East London, England, son of Ted Beckham, a kitchen fitter, and Sandra West, a hairdresser. Beckham's maternal grandfather is Jewish, and he has been mentioning the religion as influence; he wears a tattoo written in Hebrew from the 'Song of Songs' in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), albeit he is not known to practice Judaism or any other faith. Beckham has always played in long sleeve shirts to cover up his tattoos in consideration of others who may feel uncomfortable due to their beliefs.

He was brought up by his parents, supporters of Manchester United, attended Bobby Charlton's football school in Manchester, and won a spot in a training session at FC Barcelona as a child. In 1986 he was a Manchester United's mascot for a match against West Ham United. From 1992 - 2003 Beckham made almost 400 appearances for Manchester United and scored 85 goals, although his official record counts only 62 goals in 265 official senior team's matches. In the 1998 FIFA World Cup he played all of England's qualifying matches and scored in several important victories. He received a red card for violent conduct in England's match against Argentina, albeit his opponent later admitted to trying to send Beckham off by over-reacting to their contact during the game and by urging the referee to send Beckham off. After losing the game England was eliminated, Beckham was made a scapegoat and became the target of criticism and abuse in media.

He had a good season in 1999 - 2000 and helped Manchester United to win the Premier League. At that time he married singer Victoria Beckham from the popular group Spice Girls, and the couple had their first son, Brooklyn, born in 1999. That same year Beckham was given a permission to miss training routine, in order to look after his son Brooklyn, who suffered from a stomach infection. Meanwhile, the Manchester United's manager, Alex Ferguson, fined Beckham £50,000 (about $80,000 then) the maximum amount that was permitted, for babysitting with his sick child, while his wife was spotted at a London fashion Week event on the same night. Ferguson's claim that Beckham should be able to train if his wife stayed home that day, caused a serious personal tension between two men. In February 2003, following the defeat to Arsenal, the Manchester United's manager Alex Ferguson entered the changing room and kicked a football boot that struck Beckham over the eye, causing a cut that required stitches.

David Beckham has been a good scorer and a major attraction for public. On the field he has been demonstrating his consistent ability to see a big picture even under severe pressure during the most rapidly changing and unpredictable games. His field vision has been remarkable, allowing him to create many assists in a number of important matches. Beckham's forte has been his delivery from the right-hand side as well as his efficient free kicks. His superior performances in the midfield position has required a higher physical endurance through the entire game. "David Beckham's right foot" was mentioned, although humorously, as one of British national treasures in the movie Love Actually (2003).

He signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid, beginning on July 1, 2003, and worth a potential 40 million dollars. In Madrid, Beckham was not allowed to wear his favorite number seven, because another player had the right to wear it written into his contract. Beckham decided to wear the number 23 instead, being a big fan of Michael Jordan. He immediately became popular with the Real Madrid fans, but the team did not perform well enough to win either the Spanish League or the Champions League. However, Beckham remained a reliable scorer and his performances attracted more public. His shirts sales and other merchandising deals remained lucrative for the club, which continued to under-perform, regardless of the Real's management's higher expectations.

In 2005 Beckham became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He was also involved in promoting London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. His third season in Madrid was unremarkable, and he was criticized a lot, mainly because the team finished second to Barcelona in Spanish "La Liga" and lost to Arsenal in the European Champions League. However, during that season, he expanded his international presence by establishing football academies in Los Angeles and East London. During the FIFA World Cup 2006, he played for England, and became the first ever English player to score in three World Cups. In the quarter final game against Portugal, Beckham was replaced because of his injury in the middle of the game. Without him the English team lost and was knocked out of the World Cup.

In June 2007 Beckham played his final game for Real Madrid, winning a medal and celebrating with his friends Tom and Katie Cruse, who attended the game. This was his fourth, and last season there, ending his contract with the club. He announced that he had signed a five-year contract to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy from July 1, 2007 through June 2012. The 5-year deal includes up to $10 million a year in direct salary, and with merchandising endorsements and profit-sharing could earn Beckham up to $50 million a year, and may end up worth about $250 million in five years, making him one of the highest earning athletes of all time.

The Beckhams, who have become known as "Posh and Becks", have three sons: Brooklyn Joseph Beckham (born 1999), Romeo James Beckham (born 2002), and Cruz David Beckham (born 2005) who was named "Cruz" in honor of their friend Tom Cruise.

Where Are They Now

(June 2003) Signs up for Spanish soccer team Real Madrid.

(July 2005) Is in Japan playing a tournament with his team Real Madrid

(2003) Release of the #1 International best-selling book, "Beckham - Both Feet on the Ground".

(June 2007) A member of the Real Madrid team who won the Spanish League season 2006/2007 after the game against Majorca (Real Madrid 3 - Majorca 1)

2 - Trent Reznor, aka Nine Inch Nails, is following the Radiohead trail and releasing nine tracks off his new album for free. You can download the EP here, or pay a little more for the full album, or pay a little more for a physical CD sent to you, or pay a little more for a collectors edition, or pay a little more for a super-duper NIN uberfan edition. Really, Trent? The power of giving the album away for free when it starts to look like a drug dealer tossing out the first hit. [via Starpulse]

3 - Spice Girl Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, is going to strip naked to help support a charity raising money to fight the sex trafficking trade. Something about getting naked to support the downfall of sex slaves just seems slightly skewed to me. Maybe I'm just having bad memories from the time I went to the Little People's Rights rally dressed as an Oompah Loompah. [via StarPulse]

4 - Drew Barrymore has shifted the spotlight away from her near perfect relationship with Justin Long to the amazingly generous donation she made to a world hunger charity. She presented the foundation with a $1 million dollar check during her appearance on Oprah yesterday and it is being earmarked for the hunger crisis in Kenya, although if you follow the link on the right side of my home page, it will take you to the charity site and you can designate where you would like your donation to go. I chose "Greatest Need" because I think hunger is hunger no matter where you live. So if you have the spare funds, maybe choose a Domino's Pizza for dinner one night instead of $60 in sushi, you can easily give that to these starving kids. What you receive is much more filling than food.

5 - This is truly the beginning of the end. They know all our secrets! [via Dave]

6 - Marion Cotillard is firing back at the quotes being used against her concerning 9/11 and the moon landing. Evidently she made those a long time ago and they were taken out of context. So I'll translate for those not fluent in backtracking French, "I used to be crazy. I'm better now."

7 - The back-up quarterback of the world breathe a sigh of relief as Brett Favre finally retires from the NFL. He walks away holding numerous records and widely known as one of the most consistent and dedicated quarterbacks in NFL history. Now the only problem is how to supplement the instant loss of tourism and sale of foam cheese hats in the town of Green Bay. [via Sports Illustrated]
8 - The video game Rock Band is taking the next step into musical history as they begin to create and release playable tracks from the Grateful Dead. What this really means is a quick upsurge in arthritis, exhaustion and death from malnutrition as players are chained to their game systems through 4 1/2 day long jam sessions. Also, sales of Cherry Garcia ice cream will undoubtedly take a jump. Mmmm...jump. [via Starpulse, their on a roll today]

9 - Now that Battlestar Galactica is back on the air, people from all walks of life are showing their fandom proudly, but none more so than these musicians that are planning a tribute show for the sci-fi phenomenon. I'm a fan of the show, but I think I am a couple steps back from singing songs about it or naming my kids something that can only be pronounced through a series of grunts. [via Starpulse, again :)]

10 - Airborne is going to be paying out $23 million dollars in a class action lawsuit where the petitioners claim: "Airborne is basically on overpriced, run-of-the-mill vitamin pill that's been cleverly, but deceptively, marketed." You mean we haven't cured the common cold yet? What the hell! First some French lady tells me we never landed on the moon, then this! I don't think I can read the news anymore. It's too disturbing.

Het internet staat vol met quizjes. Na vandaag weet ik dat maar al te goed. Voor de site van Libelle zocht ik vandaag interessante testjes. Het resultaat daarvan vind je ongetwijfeld binnenkort terug op die website.

Ik kan dus met zekerheid zeggen dat het internet vol tests met onzin staat. Welke spice girl ben jij? Wie is je droomcelebrity? Hoe moet je je haar kammen op een dinsdag?

Maar aangezien ik mij toch wel interesseer voor het hele internet-gebeuren, én ik er enkele weken nog exaam van had ;) wou ik dit Web 2.0-testje toch even ondergaan... al was ik wel een beetje bang om af te gaan.

Maar no worries... I took it, en dit is het resultaat:

Yep, yep... for what it's worth: u hebt hier te maken met een echte Web 2.0 master

Om zelf te kijken of je er koek van gegeten hebt: doe de test!

NOI MENTIAMO

Intanto, secondo Mtv, Victoria Beckham non avrebbe confermato la sua presenza in occasione degli ultimi concerti in programma. Victoria ha dichiarato di aver accettato di imbarcarsi nel faticoso tour esclusivamente per dimostrare ai suoi tre figli, Brooklyn, Romeo e Cruz, di essere stata una pop star in una vita precedente.
Mrs Beckham ha inoltre dichiarato che tutta la sua attenzione è ora concentrata sulla sua attività di fashion designer, sulla quale vuole impegnarsi al massimo nel prossimo futuro. Dice di aver apprezzato molto la reunion della sua vecchia band ma di essere rimasta scioccata, vedendo i vecchi live, dal tipo di abbigliamento e di acconciature usate da lei e dalle colleghe.

Candle light and soul forever,
A dream of you and me together,
Say you believe it, say you believe it,
Free your mind of doubt and danger,
Be for real don't be a stranger,
We can achieve it, we can achieve it
Come a little bit closer baby,
Get it on, get it on,
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

Silly games that you were playing,
Empty words we both were saying,
Let's work it out boy, let's work it out boy,
Any deal that we endeavour,
Boys and girls feel good together,
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
Are you as good as I remember baby,
Get it on, get it on,
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

Be a little wiser baby, put it on, put it on,
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be

Neon Fashion - Victoria Beckham's Vibrant Yellow Tube Dress (GALLERY)

(TREND HUNTER) Victoria Beckham would disagree with anyone who says she gets enough attention already. At least that's what you'd assume if you saw the ultra-vibrant neon hues the Spice Girl was sporting while out for dinner with her husband.

Posh and her soccer star hubby dined at fancy eatery St Alban's and th… [More]

Unless you were under a rock this year, you likely know that Melanie Brown (Spice Girls and Dancing With The Stars) had Eddie Murphy's baby.  Eddie refused to acknowledge that he was the baby daddy, Mel B. took him to court and put him through a DNA paternity test.  And, surprise, surprise, Eddie is the baby's daddy.

Query: Was Eddie reluctant to acknowledge paternity becaue he didn't want to pay child support or because he was embarrassed that he had sperminated a Spice Girl?

The other Spices, namely Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton weren't happy with the fact that Victoria was just a little more popular than they were. Among the things that stroke the girls' jealousy was that everytime Victoria got hold of the mic to the crowd in the stadium, the audience went completely wild. Despite the fact that Victoria hadn't many lines to sing, and also Victoria wore the highest heels amongst the girls, which sorta meant she towered over the girls. Well, obviously, that didn't feel comfortable at all to the other Spices.

During the encore, Victoria didn't wear her cape with her hood up, as was part of the ensemble, preserving a perfectly groomed hair. A source revealed to the Daily Mail that "The fact Posh probably had the least to do but was getting the best reception was a bit disheartening. It all blew up backstage afterwards and there were some very stern words and evil looks exchanged."

Um, well. Can anyone blame Victoria Beckham's highly populated sensitivity fans and her determination to look the sexiest and hottest amongst the crowd? I don't think so.
