Spice Girls Learn That Power Is Money
YOU would think it was the bloody Beatles who were re-uniting what with all the hype and tales of amazing comebacks. Yet, it’s only the Spice Girls, those espousers of Girl Power-fuelled catchphrase feminism.
Still, one shouldn’t underestimate the all-consuming power of a hype machine, and now, the fab five – Victoria, Geri, Emma and Mels B and C - are set to pocket a massive £25million from a two-hour TV special set to air in late September.
The documentary will coincide with their much-awaited (it says here) reunion world tour and will feature the girls reminiscing about their career as well as, wait for it, showing footage of their first-ever rehearsals. Wow.
According to a “source close to the girls”: “There have been ongoing discussions about doing a documentary looking back at the beginning, the height of Spicemania and what happened towards the end. It will be full-on nostalgia and a look back at living through those amazing years.”
Spice guru and professional turd polisher, Simon Fuller, will net around £40million for the project.
Money Power!

What a crazy world we live in, 5 waste of spaces can make that sort of money for doing nothing when surgeons who have studied for years and can take the heart out of one person and transplant it into another to keep them alive get paid a relative pittance.
How can you tell your children to do well at school when they are bombarded with these millionaire celebrities who are as thick as shit.

Another one of the advantages of living in Wisconsin, USA.
Hardly anyone here cares if the Spice Girls reform, deform, inform, conform, or disappear up their own butts with a loud POP!
Ah blessed ignorance!!

I think it is disgusting that Gerry has been demoted in favour of Posh just cos she is Ginger. I have been Ginger all my life and have experienced the awful prejudice and discrimination that goes with having carrott coloured hair. The cries of “Ginger Minge” haunt and hound me wherever i go. Set my people free….we love the Ginger Minger that is Spicey gerry!

Dear Jay…you are so very wrong. The British media made the Spicethingy’s. They were and are over hyped, over rated and over the hill. The voice enhancement gadget is also aimed at making it seem they can sing…it is not ..as you say..to bring them down ..but to save the nations little girls from going deaf. If you have ever heard cats being f*cked then you will get a true idea of what these ladies really sound like. I say these girls should be paid millions not to sing…but to go and live on another planet….Spiceworld .

The Verve are getting back together. I’d pay money to see them. For the SGs I’d pay someone to switch em off.

I was interested to read in the press today that the Spices will be singing through a voice synthesiser. It will transform these tits into songbirds. Thank f*ck for technology….and Terry of course.
I also heard in the Grapevine that Vicky will replace the Ginger Gerry as leader of this troupe of tits. This will make a great comedy sketch for Children in Need. Hey Girls get Simon to phone me.
