All five Spices joined together for Thursday's unsurprising announcment at London's O2 Arena. The reunion, rumored—and downplayed—for weeks, was assumed to be a fait accompli once Simon Fuller, the Svengali who first unleashed the group on an unsuspecting public more than a decade ago, announced the quintet would be holding a press conference to "discuss future plans" several days ago.
"We are girl power," said Halliwell, 34. "It doesn't matter how old you are, 5 or 65."
In a statement the singer and his fiancee Tameka Foster issued to The Associated Press on Wednesday (June 27), the couple said: "We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together. We hope people will be happy for us and respect our privacy during this happy period in our lives." The baby, which is due in the fall, will be the fourth child for recently divorced stylist Foster.

Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them.
The little girl's mother Maria, in keeping with her boxing-mad family's bizarre tradition, decided to give her 25 middle names - all culled from the greatest exponents inside the ring.
Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.
Maria told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.
"When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all."
The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though."

The “American Idol” vet was seated by the window at 1:30 p.m. for a scheduled 1:55 p.m. take off on Friday. A man and his son had the seats next to Frenchie, but the boy complained that he didn’t want to sit next to the “big black person,” Davis’ rep says.
The man asked Frenchie to put her armrest down between her and the boy, but Frenchie had already fallen asleep as the plane began to taxi down the runway.
According to her rep, the man “stands up and shakes Frenchie violently saying wake up and put the armrest down right now. She tells him to take his hands off her.”
The man allegedly asked flight attendants to call security because this “big black woman is harassing him,” the rep recounts. She says two flight attendants respond, but don't bother to ask Frenchie to tell her side of the story. They just demand that she move.

The two were in his car in East New York, and she "was giving him the heave-ho," one source said.
"This ex-boyfriend called some of his women, and they pounced on her," another police source said. "They beat her bad. They ripped out her hair weave. Her hair was a mess - and that seems to be what she cared about most."
The women also stole Brown's handbag and $500, the sources said.

R&B star Brandy's publicist has laughed off reports his client is to wed actor/singer Tyrese, insisting the story is all just a big mix up. But Courtney Barnes reveals Tyrese is, in fact, engaged to wed the mother of his unborn child.
The mix up happened when Tyrese proposed to his girlfriend, Norma, at a baby shower party Brandy threw at her Los Angeles home on June 7.
Barnes says, "There's no truth to the rumors Tyrese proposed to Brandy; he actually asked his girlfriend to marry him during the shower."

Fabolous surrounds himself with overzealous security guards - including his own mother. At a Level Vodka release party for his new album "From Nothin' to Somethin" at Runway, Fab's mom, Deborah Jackson, made it her job to eject groupies, fuming, "You do not belong here!"
Earlier, a patron at Tao saw Fab's guards push the hostess after she told the rapper there'd be a 10-minute wait and touched his elbow. A rep for Fab said, "Fab went inside the restaurant early and then waited for his guests outside." (source via VH1 blog)
...So over the years I have learned to ignore these people and keep doing what I feel that I am being led to do. But when people begin to attack certain cast members of HOUSE OF PAYNE because they are overweight, then I have to say something. Just because a person is overweight doesn't mean that they are less than anybody else. That's why these people have not been able to get a job for years in Hollywood. One person even asked, "Why do you even hire them?" I hire all kinds of people--thin, not so thin, tall, short, in shape, not in shape, Black, White, Latino. When somebody comes to work for me I don't see color, I don't see their size, all I want to know is "Can you do the job?"
One person asked why does the mama have to be a "FAT BLACK WOMAN" and said that I am perpetuating stereotypes by putting these overweight people on the show, as if there are no fat black women in America that are mothers. My mother and aunts are fat black women. And that upsets me to think that people, especially Black people, would say that I'm doing a disservice to America by putting them on T.V. Skinny does not make you beautiful. There are all kinds of beautiful women in this world. And if we begin to look at the heart of a person rather than prejudge then we would see that we are missing some of the nicest and most talented people in the world. I'm sorry but I had to get that off my chest. I just don't like to see good people hurt because of ignorance and intolerance...

The ministers said they had enough with the double standards. If Imus can't get away with it, black performers shouldn't get away with it either.
The controversy surrounds Hughley's recent appearance on the Jay Leno Show. [WATCH VIDEO]
The comedian said Imus was wrong to call the women of the Rutgers basketball team 'hos,' but he did say they were some of the "ugliest, nappy head women" he had ever seen. Pastor Kyev Tatum of Servant House Baptist Church said Imus is insulting and so is D.L. Hughley.
Pastor Tatum said, "It's not only that comment, he has a history of demeaning our community in such a way that it's not funny anymore."
"I believe that freedom of speech is a zero-sum proposition. Too many times I have watched clowns like these pretend to speak for the masses. I can only speak for me," Hughley said in a statement released to the media. "Isn't there a child you can help teach to read, a war to help stop, an unjustly accused man you can help out of jail? I will not apologize for telling a joke about the world as I see it." [source]
Vivica A. Fox says she regrets her arrest for drunken driving because "it's on your record for 10 years."
The 42-year-old actress was charged in March with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit.
"It was a huge learning lesson. I won't ever make that mistake again," Fox said Friday night backstage at the Kodak Theatre, where she was a presenter for the Daytime Emmy Awards. "Trust me, I'm going to hire a driver next time."
Fox said she is in the process of trying to resolve her legal problems.
"It was an unfortunate judgment that I am taking full responsibility in," she said. "It is so not worth what you go through for getting a DUI."

Ne-Yo is being reported as a deadbeat dad. Close Relatives of the pair are furious saying Ne-yo has abandoned his son. Recently, He stated that he Volunteered to be the father, but still wishes to take on the child as his own… Though there is no proof of this, and the mother of the child Jesseca White chooses to remain silent about the matter.
However Ne-Yo over the past year has spoken so highly of the child "Chimere Smith" but yet as his new album comes out, he chooses to throw the innocent 2 year old out into media, attempting to squash a rumor that has yet to be leaked.
Sources say Jesseca White came home to an Eviction Notice, (pictured Below, along with the child's birth certificate) at the residence the pair once shared in Los Angeles, CA. that was usually taken care of by the R&B star, but Ne-Yo Refuses to Pay, stating on a tape recording that "he wants to do other things with his money".
Reportedly, he wont even send money for Baby Chimere's Food or Diapers, until after their child support case has ended. And her family is angry. Saying "Every time he gets upset with Jesseca, he refuses to pay for things, and it shouldn't be taken out on the child". Jesseca White aka "Jesse" is in the process of working on her solo career as well as being a full time mom, being that Shaffer put stop payment on the babysitters checks. "he's never had to be there more than 4 hours with the baby, that girl works damn hard, and this is not right, he's the one who asked her to have that child regardless, and now he's trying to take the easy road out". says a family relative.
Its odd that the star boasts about his millions, and how he financially takes care of the child and alleged best friend, as we see his MILLION DOLLAR MANSION, and cars on MTV cribs, but yet he wont even buy his son DIAPERS or MILK, and opting to try and leave them homeless….
Whether it is truth or not about the biological factor, we don't know. But hey he says the kid is his.. What's a couple of dollars to him? ARE WE GIVING NE-YO TOO MUCH CREDIT? Hmmm starting to sound like Ne-Yo's pulling a few publicity stunts on us.

The actor insists his prowess between the sheets keeps the couple's union strong.A couple of years ago I read on a gossip message board that the Smiths had a crazy sex life. I'm talking about bondage and group orgies. Of course, you have to take things written online with a grain a salt but I've always wondered if the whispers were true.
Smith boasts, "Really, really good sex ...I'm really good at it."
And he is convinced age will only make him sexier: "I'm going to be so sexy when I'm older. You have no idea."
Starpulse reports that Ray J has accepted an offer to direct and narrate an X-rated sex film.Ray J has refused to confirm he'll be working with Vivid bosses, but he is serious about taking charge of a proper porn film - even though family members and friends think it's a terrible idea.
He says, "I wrote an adult movie and a concept that I've been trying to shoot... A lot of people don't want me to do it. A lot of people think it's bad, but f**k 'em. There's money over there.
"I got offered a couple million to be the narrator and just guide people through. The stars that I'm going to choose are going to be really nice, really classy, and I'm going to build up to the sex."
A former high school football star who became a national symbol for the extremes of getting tough on sex offenders was ordered released from prison Monday by a judge who called his mandatory 10-year sentence for consensual teen sex "a grave miscarriage of justice."
At the time of his crime, Wilson would have faced just one year in prison if he had sexual intercourse with the girl. The "Romeo and Juliet" exception in Georgia law also would have allowed him to avoid the sex offender registry.
Lawmakers last year voted to close that loophole. But the state's top court said the new law could not be applied retroactively to Wilson, now 21. (continue)

Teen heartthrob Chris Brown was pleasantly surprised when he received a phone call from Michael Jackson on his birthday. During the conversation MJ revealed that the Bow Wow-assisted "Shorty Like Mine" was one his favorite songs."He called me for my birthday, and I told him we should do a song," Brown said. "He was up for it.CBeezie, protect what is yours my brother. It's quite evident now that you are of legal age that Michael is trying to get to you and that monkey. And I'm not talking about Bubbles. He probably peeped those fake SideKick pictures and liked what he saw.
"Man, it was crazy," Brown continued. "He actually spoke to me like a regular person, and he was like, 'I like your music.' He said his favorite song was 'Shorty Like Mine' that me and Bow Wow did. I appreciated talking to him." (source)

The Bono guest-edited Africa issue will hit newsstands today.Annie Leibovitz shot all the covers to capture what looks like a game of telephone among international icons discussing the crisis in Africa. The list of subjects read like a who's who of Africa awareness: Warren Buffett, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Desmond Tutu, Oprah Winfrey, Djimon Hounsou, Chris Rock, Muhammad Ali, Jay-Z, Bill and Melinda Gates, and Iman, to name a few. Each photo shows two subjects conversing with each other — Don Cheadle talking with Barack Obama, Madonna speaking with Maya Angelou, Queen Rania of Jordan speaking to Bono. "These are incredible people of our time who all have a passion for and a connection to Africa," said Leibovitz. "It was important to me to really show the humanity in their faces."

Once in a lifetime do two mega stars come together. Rarely do such people put aside difference and ego and show the bravery and confidence needed to do something together. And when it happens the people stop, listen and watch. For a moment the world stops and the fans love every moment of it.
This song is a fun twist of fate. Rarely do we hear the fellas tell of being two timed and played. Never out the mouths of sex symbols like R. Kelly and Usher. But here they are. Saying it for the world to hear. Some woman has gotten the best of both of them (what she look like?). The video plays it all out for us to see what we hear, with a little twist at the end that we don’t hear on the record…
