  • It Is All Over: Spice Reunion Not Happening

    It was like a dream come true and now all hopes abandoned, dreams are shattered and tour promoters are hanging their heads.

    At the beginning of the week it was looking like a sure thing, that Posh would re-join the Spice Girls for a 20th-anniversary tour, but her reps have now denied any rumour that she is to take part.
    Ok Magazine has been the ones to bring us the news that Torz will not be joining them. Reps for the now fashion designer told the magazine
    “She is not – no – just the usual, made up, nonsense!!”

    Earlier reports suggested that Victoria would do the tour, on one condition, that she could spend time with David and the kids.

  • Spice Girls Will Get Back Together Under One Condition

    Spice Girls Will Get Back Together Under One Condition

    It seems crazy that the Spice Girls will celebrate their 20th anniversary this year. They could be getting back together for a tour, but Victoria Beckham has one condition.

    Back in 1996 Ginger, Scary, Baby, Sporty and Posh burst onto the music scene with their brash look, bottom pinching and catchy pop tunes. (Who Do You Think You Are, is our fave)

    Twenty years on, their fanbase (us included) are howling for a reunion and not of an ITV2 Big Reunion type.

    Speaking to The Mirror a source close to Victoria Beckham said that she’d be up for doing some shows with the girls, but probably not all, wanting to put David and her kids first.

    The source said,

    “However she stressed she needed to focus on David and the kids this year after a stressful 2015 of trying to juggle work and family life, so committing to all the dates would be too much.

     

    “She already has a lot on her plate with her design empire.”

     

    So she may only do London dates… Will you travel to London to see their shows?

    Yiannopoulos responded to the suspension of his blue badge by saying that he had been sat at the “naughty table” and that, “Twitter is gearing up to purge conservatives. Unverifying me is the first step toward a permanent ban.”

    Milo Yiannopoulos came to public attention after launching The Kernel, an online tech magazine which was eventually bought by The Daily Dot. and for his reporting in The Telegraph.

    Twitter has not responded to call from the media for comment.

  • John Partridge Doing Big Brother To Pay For Sick Mother’s Care

    John Partridge has opened up about his reasons for taking part in this year’s Celebrity Big Brother.

    John Partridge, the openly gay EastEnders’ actor, has opened up about the reasons why he’s taking part in Big Brother – and it’s for his mother. His mother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

    She was diagnosed in 2010 and John was along with his husband Jon Tsouras, up until March, his mother’s primary carer. Since March however, his mother was moved to a care home as John felt he could no longer meet her health needs.

    Speaking about the care the ex-EastEnders’ actor said,

    “My mum has Alzheimer’s, I pay for her care and it is expensive. The honest answer is I’m here to pay her bill.

    “Unfortunately she only lived in a two-up, two-down, in a Northern town, so the money doesn’t go very far.

    “That’s why I’m here. I’m not ashamed of it. I don’t care what people think – people say all sorts of things when you want to do a program like this: ‘you’re washed up’, ‘they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.’ I unashamedly say, ‘You can say what you want, but no one takes cares of my bills other than me and that is what I am here to do.”

    CBB continues tonight from 9PM on Channel 5

  • 10 Guys Whose Careers Exploded After Turning 40

    RuPaul

    TV star, Drag Queen and Recording Artist

    Giorgio Armani
    Fashion Designer

    We tread carefully here, as Giorgio hasn’t come out officially as gay or bisexual, but an interview in Vanity Fair in 2000 shed some light on his sexuality, when he said, “I have had women in my life. And sometimes men”. Giorgio’s star was late rising. He showcased his first collected in 1975, when he was 41. Giorgio topped our 2015 Richest list.
