Geri Halliwell Launches A Union Jack Clothing Collection

We’re complete suckers for anything related to the Spice Girls. Including this bit of news that had us rolling with laughter (but in a good way). Geri Halliwell has a collaboration going with clothing company Next, and guess what she decided to design from them? An entire Union Jack clothing line, as you can see above. She unveiled it in London earlier today, wearing a sequined version of her own design — the flag sheath dress. It’s an obvious pimping of her iconic Union Jack-Spice Girls look, but who cares? What’s the bet that it’ll totally sell out?

What’s Up With Geri Halliwell’s Bridal Couture?

Geri Halliwell probably got the two things mixed up on her head. This was not her wedding, it was a party. And now she’s the laughing stock of everyone who’s looked at these photos. Geri turned up at the 6th Annual Raisa Gorbachev charity gala in London yesterday dressed like — this. Can we get a “Here Comes the Bride”?

Correct us if we’re wrong, but does this not look like a wedding dress? It’s a corseted, strapless, layered, tulle white gown. Do the math, Geri. And to add insult to injury, she looks orange. Big fan of the Spice Girls (yeah, so what), but this is something we just can’t get on board with. And if this what she wears to a party, can you imagine what she’s wear if she actually got married?

Lindsay Lohan Misses Opera Escort Gig With 77-Year-Old Millionaire

Lindsay Lohan & Richard Lugner

Richard Lugner, the 77-year-old Austrian entrepreneur who pays a different celeb each year to be his arm candy at Vienna’s Opera Ball, says Lindsay Lohan wouldn’t be taking her place beside him at the gala. Lugner—who will bring hunky German singer Dieter Bohlen in her stead—accused the starlet of missing her scheduled flight due to a shopping spree in LA and not being able to afford the late fees. “She’s a nutcase,” he said last week after complaining about alleged demands like a private jet with a bed and promises of no alcohol in her eyeline. Lohan, whose last personal tweet was a cryptic “away we gooooo!!!!” late Thursday night, has yet to comment.

As suggested by her replacement’s lack of female anatomy, escorting Lugner doesn’t quite have the same connotations as escorting, say, Hugh Hefner. The tycoon—who already has a young girlfriend named Bambi, thanks—started his annual tradition with Harry Belafonte in 1992. A bevvy of older lovelies like Ivana Trump and Raquel Welch followed, but Lugner’s aimed younger starlets earlier this decade, with recent opera companions including Paris Hilton, Dita Von Teese and Geri Halliwell. Take a look at his wild life—and Bambi!—in the gallery below.

Mel C Thrilled As Ever At New Spice Girls Musical News

spice-girls

She was the last Spice Girl to sign up to their last reunion, and from the picture above it seems that Mel C’s not exactly looking forward to the latest money-spinning project. (Oh, all right, we have no idea whether she is or not. Mel C is looking drab and dowdy above as she launches her new role in the long-running West End musical Blood Brothers.)

But as rumored, there is a top-secret new Spice project, and it’s looking to be a TV hunt to find a new generation of girls to zig-a-zig-ahh on stage. Following in the footsteps of many successful British TV talent searches of recent times, Mel C, B, Geri, Emma and Victoria would audition to find version of themselves for a new stage musical. “It’s a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs,” reports The Sun. You don’t say. Ker-chinnnngg! [Photo: WENN

Geri Halliwell Happiest In A Bikini

Spice Girl Geri Halliwell was spotted frolicking on vacation in Sardinia with her new boyfriend Henry Beckwith, a member of a well-to-do British family. The pair played on the beach, water-skied and hung with friends, with Geri sporting a slinky white bikini the entire time. Check out pics of the happy couple below. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Single Geri Halliwell Laps Up Attention At Premiere, Guy Ritchie’s Pub

Geri Halliwell. Ahhh, Geri Halliwell. How to describe your totally blatant attempts to hog the limelight last night following your tragic engagement breakup with some Italian bloke we’ve already forgotten about? Dressed in a thigh-skimming gold dress, you made a “surprise” attendance at the Boat that Rocked premiere, which coincidentally had thousands of paps in attendance.

After the movie, you then made another totally-out-of-character visit to a pub. Not just any pub, but the Punchbowl pub in Mayfair, which happens to be part-owned by Guy Ritchie, who happens to be single now after splitting up with Madonna, who happens to be the person you wish you were (after all, you did name your daughter Bluebell Madonna after her?)

Funnily enough, there were armies of paps outside that place, too. What a shame – we’re sure you were just after a nice night out to quell your broken heart. [Photo: Splash News Online; WENN]

Geri Halliwell Splits From Italian Fiance

But we thought it was going to last forever! Geri Halliwell has split from her Italian fiancé of three months, proving that celebrities are biologically incapable of going through life’s events at a normal speed. In the time it would have taken “civilians” to think about maybe bringing loverboy back to meet mom and dad, Geri has met Fabrizio Politi, accepted a proposal, wheeled him out around London’s swankiest restaurants with her daughter Bluebell, released a press statement about their engagement and then when the attention slipped for a few weeks when the love finally died, called it a day.

“She loved being in a relationship but decided that all she needs is her daughter Bluebell to keep her happy. Fabrizio is upset but totally respects Geri’s wishes. Her friends are not surprised — Geri has a track record for getting cold feet,” reports The Sun. They make it sound all so ordinary, no? Although we have to confess we’re a little disappointed — we were already rubbing our hands in glee at the thought of the OK! wedding cover (Geri’s Magical Day!) and the “why I left him” mea culpa (Geri: I Had To Be True To Myself). Never mind. Next! [Photo: Splash News Online]

A Baby Girl For Mel C – And A Celebrity Name

Just like Jennifer Garner and the Neverending Pregnancy, we did wonder whether Mel C was ever going to get round to giving birth. Thankfully for her uterus and our prurient nature, she has, and has followed the tradition of her fellow Spice Mamas by giving her new baby daughter a showbiz name. Scarlet Starr was born on Sunday weighing 8lb 3oz and we’re sending congrats to the new mom. But when the most sensibly-named Spice Baby is called Bluebell (Geri Halliwell’s daughter) or Beau (Emma Bunton‘s son), you’ve got to stand out somehow at those future playdates — and alliterative popstar names are clearly the way forward… [Photo: Splash News Online]
