The Spice Girls don’t have time to do it

According to a report on Orange News, singer Melanie Chisholm sets the record straight about reunion rumours. She says the five members of the Spice Girls are too busy to reunite and head out on tour.
 
Last month, rumours started to swirl in the media that the pop group was getting ready for another rounds of shows. The stories claimed the tour would be a follow-up to their 2007-2008 comeback tour that marked their first shows since Geri Halliwell left in 1998.
 
Recent rumours claimed the group was ready to hit the road, except Victoria Beckham who preferred to concentrate on her design career.
 
Now Chisholm decided to settle the matter once and for all. She states that no-one in the group has time for a new tour.
 
She says, "There’s no chance of that happening. Don’t believe what you’ve read elsewhere, because we have no plans to tour again. We all have our own projects going on and have families too so we couldn’t find the time even if we wanted to."

The Spice Girls without Posh?

The Spice Girls want to reunite for another tour but are having trouble convincing Victoria Beckham to join them, Orange News reports.
 
The pop group got back together in 2007 and 2008 and embarked on a sold-out world tour. It was the first time the five singers had reunited since Geri Halliwell left in 1998.
 
After the tour ended, Victoria Beckham, a.k.a. Posh Spice, decided to hang up her microphone for good and focus on her design career.
 
Now, the group wants to do it all over again. But this time, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm are finding it hard to persuade Beckham to jump on board.
 
A source explains: "The girls are so excited. They are buzzing about getting back together and each have so many new ideas and so much to bring to the table. They are desperate to get Posh (Beckham) on board, but that is the sticking point."
 
The source also said that Victoria Beckham is over that stage in her life. She does not want to put her fashion industry projects on hold to do a tour. This means the group may be forced to do it without her.

Victoria Beckham sets the record straight

Victoria Beckham goes on the offensive to dispel rumours that her marriage to David Beckham has never recovered after infidelity rumours circulated about the soccer star in 2004, Orange News reports.
 
The former Spice Girl insists that their relationship is far from just a business relationship.
 
The singer married the athlete in 1999. Five years later, their relationship hit a bump when Beckham was accused of carrying on a five-month affair with his personal assistant, Rebecca Loos.
 
David Beckham denied the rumours at the time and the couple decided to put the matter behind them.
 
Since then, there has been talk that the two decided to stay married for the sake of their kids and to preserve their marketing cachet.
 
Victoria Beckham finally decided to set the record straight. She says, "I know David has never cheated on me. I really do believe deep down that I have the most faithful husband I could hope for. I can honestly say I am really lucky to have him. I couldn’t live a lie and it would be unfair on the children. We are working on things together but our marriage is absolutely not a business arrangement. Could you, for all the money in the world? I couldn’t."

No arrivederci for George Clooney

Actor George Clooney denies rumours he is about to sell his villa on Lake Como in Laglio, Italy to David Beckham and his wife, Victoria.

A story started circulating that Beckham was negotiating to buy the property from the actor. It is worth $41.6 million US. The soccer star is back in Europe playing with soccer club AC Milan.

It went on to say that Clooney was looking to buy an island.

It is true that the British athlete fell in love with the area and Clooney’s villa. He was quoted in Italian media as saying, "I have fallen in love with the beautiful countryside. It’s peaceful, quiet and near Milan. It would be great for the family."

Laglio Mayor Roberto Pozzo was quoted saying he hoped they did move to the area.

George Clooney denies the story. He says it is completely made up. He states bluntly, "I am not buying an island and am not selling my house in Italy. The story was made up, then picked up and now denied."
