Spice Girls are getting back together.

Talk of a Spice Girls reunion has swirled for weeks — boosted by Sporty Spice herself — and on Friday the vivacious five said they would make "an announcement to the world" next week.

Gossip took a major leap, and suddenly old film clips of the 1990s pop sensations were all over British television.

The statement issued by the quintet's management company seemed designed to move the rumors up a notch and stretch them out for a good week.

"Following weeks of speculation, the Spice Girls are set to make an official announcement to the world regarding future plans on Thursday, June 28," said the statement from 19 Entertainment. "Details regarding the announcement will be released in the coming days."

Victoria (Adams) Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) formed the Spice Girls in 1994. They became a global hit before splitting in 2001.

Chisholm, who had opposed a reunion, recently told the British Broadcasting Corp. she had changed her mind.

"For the first time ever, there is some truth in the rumors. We've been discussing it and it could possibly happen," the 33-year-old singer told BBC radio last week.

"I've always said, `I don't want to do it, the past is the past. It was amazing, it was magical. We could never recreate it,'" Chisholm said. "But this year people have been talking about it and some of the girls have expressed an interest in doing it."

The Spice Girls' 2000 album, "Forever," had weak sales, and they began concentrating on their solo careers.

Raph's Girl note: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I was never into the Spice Girls, but I like the Melanie Chisholm ballads "First Day of My Life" and "The Momemt You Belive".

Nobody probably cares, but I'm happy as hell. Geri gave me my first boner.

Weird little fart, am I not?

*Mecha Cow* · 06-24-2007, 01:50 PM

I hate you, TMB, I hate you and everything you stand for.

Yay, the Spice Girls!! They were so talented!

**GK Punk** · 06-24-2007, 04:21 PM

They are back to SAVE MUSIC.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-28-2007, 11:55 AM

Thank the gods they're not coming to Washington State! Muaha! I bet their biggest fan (Prince Charles) is happy and will totally be at their London concert.

Following a calculated publicity buildup, the original Girl Power group of the 1990s announced Thursday that they have agreed to reunite for 11 concerts around the world in December and January.

The shows will be their first concerts since breaking up in 2001, and the first with all five of the original group since Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell quit to pursue a solo career in 1998.

"Imagine you got divorced and you've got back together with your ex-husband," Halliwell said, explaining how she felt about the reunion.

"She just appreciates the fact we've let her back in," joked Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham.

The group said the shows would be in Los Angeles on Dec. 7; Las Vegas on Dec. 8; New York on Dec. 11; London on Dec. 15; Cologne, Germany, on Dec. 20; Madrid, Spain, on Dec. 23; Beijing on Jan. 10; Hong Kong on Jan. 12; Sydney, Australia, on Jan. 17; Cape Town, South Africa, on Jan. 20; and Buenos Aires, Argentina on Jan. 24.

Halliwell and Beckham joined with Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton and Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown to pose for photos and announce tour plans.

"We wanted to say thank you to our fans. It just feels very right for us," Chisholm said.

"Obviously it's nostalgic. But equally, if new fans want to come along, that's fantastic," Halliwell said. "I like to think our songs are universal and they are timeless."

Their first single, "Wannabe," was released in 1996 and topped charts in 31 countries. They went on to sell more than 55 million records.

But their last album, "Forever," released in 2000 and without Halliwell, fared poorly.

You could now call them the Spice Mums. Beckham said the tour will be designed to accommodate the band members' seven children. Bunton is pregnant with her first child.

"Our priority is going to be our families. We want to have fun," said Beckham, who has three sons with her husband, soccer star David Beckham. "That's one of the many reasons for this, for our children to see what we used to do."

In conjunction with the tour, EMI said it plans to release the first Spice Girls greatest hits album in November. The group also plans to make their first official documentary for TV broadcast.

"It's going to be the most honest story that you've ever heard," Halliwell said. "You get to see the dark side of the Spice Girls, the gritty side, the tears."

Come on Roland, get Boyzone to kick their asses

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-29-2007, 01:52 AM

Say what you want. I'm happy as hell.

Swany · 06-29-2007, 04:16 AM

I was a fan when I was younger but I dont really care for this. My music taste has changed. It was nice in the 90s but things have changed, theyve changed plus Victoria looks like a toothpick with two watermelons speared on it.

*KROW* · 06-29-2007, 11:15 AM

To be honest, I'm kind of glad this is happening. Back when they were huge and governing the world, I used to watch their videos constantly. 'Course, I had the TV muted, but still...

I highly await the next visual aid for my fantasies.

Blithe · 06-29-2007, 01:27 PM

This has "Drome Field Trip" written all over it, folks! Don't be afraid of spicing up your life

*KROW* · 06-29-2007, 05:13 PM

I call dibs on the Scary Spice wig!

Mandi-chan · 07-02-2007, 03:48 PM

I think it's cool they're getting back together!

I don't have any of their cds (have every intention of buying them though) but I loved this band, it's so cool that they're trying a reunion!

I'm with Swany. I used to like them when I was 7, but a seven year old can swallow anything and still come out saying they like it.

Also, the fact that all of the airheads in my grade loves the band to death makes me gag. Our social events have included watching "Spice Girls: The Movie" for three years in a row... *shudders*

My condolences Ra. On the bright side, thank goodness it's not the Villiage People Movie - "Can't Stop the Music."

There's a Villiage people movie?! WTF?

Does it just have their only 2 hits "YMCA" and "In The Navy"???

Trivia: The guy who played Donatello in the Coming Out of Their Shells tour is the current Biker in The Villiage People.
