1990’s horrorshow The Spice Girls (CDs) are planning to reform in 2006 for a 10th anniversary get-together which, according to various insider reports, could leave each member with a staggering £10 million bank bonus.
hecklerspray can’t quite decide what’s more disturbing. The fact that it’s almost been a whole decade since those warbling fools first ‘burst’ onto the music scene, or the fact that there are actually people out there who still consider this to be a good idea.
Frizzy-haired Mel B (CDs) let the news slip while making a bleary-eyed GMTV appearance. "I think so, but that’s just me," she said, responding to a question about reunion rumours. The nightmare is all scheduled to kick off, she added, "hopefully next year, if we can get everything sorted and together."
The scary thing? This isn’t just the desperate straw-clutching of a has-been, clinging to insane dreams of former glory. Scary has already spoken to Baby (CDs) and Sporty (CDs) – "they have been to visit me" – and is expecting to have dinner with the emaciated Mrs. Beckham (CDs) and the fat ginger foghorn very soon.
"They are considering playing at the new Wembley Stadium next year", an industry insider frothed. "It would be a dream venue and there’s no doubt they would pack it out." hecklerspray has to say that this is a somewhat optimistic prediction. Wasn’t the entire Spice Girls fanbase made up of four-year-old girls? Won’t they have all graduated to something a little more teenage by now. You know, like getting or happy-slapping?
A word of advice, though, girls. If this does all go ahead, those names are going to have to change?
Baby Spice? More like Eerily-Childlike Spice.
Posh Spice? Chav Spice is surely a more fitting replacement.
Ginger Spice? Bottle-Dye Spice.
Sporty Spice? Gym-Card-Expired Spice.
Scary Spice? Actually, no … that’s just fine.
And as for Geri Halliwell’s (CDs) thoughts on the matter? Erm … she hasn’t given any. She’s far too busy waffling about how she has beaten those nasty depression demons and emerged "bursting with self-confidence."
"I feel like the rabbit on the Cadbury’s Caramel advert, you know, ‘Caaaaaaadbury’s Caaaaaaaramel,’ she moans until you feel she’s going to melt all over the banquette," Geri explained. "I feel I’ve only just developed into a woman and I like it."
Christ.

They should definitely do it, it is surprising how many fans they all still have as a group and it’s a shame people don’t remember them for their massive success! They sold approximately 40 million albums in 4 years!
Claire says
The thing is, none of them could sing in the first place. Since the split of the group what have they done? Erm nothing… because they were crap in the first place! C ya
Kathryn says
