SPICE GIRLS - HALLIWELL: 'I WILL NEVER MARRY'

SPICE GIRLS star GERI HALLIWELL is convinced she will never settle down with a man - because she has lost her faith in marriage.
The singer - who is currently single - has endured a string of failed romances, most recently with backing dancer Ivan 'Flipz' Velez and screenwriter Sacha Gervasi, the father of her two-year-old daughter Bluebell.
And now Halliwell insists that she may never marry - because she can't deal with any more doomed relationships.
She tells British magazine Hello, "I've lost my faith in marriage. Most of my generation, their parents are divorced, as are mine and I see so many people break up.
"As for my idealisation of what a relationship should look like, that has vanished. I don't see many couples or marriages I can use as a compass point. Not many people stick it out any more. I have learnt to cope by myself."
But the star admits that even without a longterm partner, she would like a brother or sister for Bluebell.

She adds, "I guess I have become a little cynical but I would like more children."

Geri Halliwell: I'm an anxious, worrying control freak

Ex-Spice Girl hates the fact she has to stay in control

Tuesday, 5 August 2008

Geri Halliwell admits that she needs to chill out and stop fixating on work.

'I wish I could slow down a bit, trust more, love more,' she confides.

Ginger, 36, deplores her tendency to obsess and wishes she could enjoy herself without fretting. In her twenties, she just couldn't relax.

'I was so hard and uptight. If only I wasn't an anxious, worrying control freak.'

The singer, mum to Bluebell Madonna, 2, was touring with the Spice Girls until February but also managed to publish her first children’s book, Ugenia Lavender.

Caring for her daughter and also always having several projects on the go means she's often reduced to tears by exhaustion.

'I get overwhelmed and tired,' she tells The Guardian Weekend.

'Boredom, poverty and dark clouds depress me. I wish I was a psychic mind reader who could travel in time. I'd tell my young self, "Let go and live, Geri."'

MEL C HITS OUT AT U.K.'S YOUTH CRIME

Former SPICE GIRL MELANIE CHISHOLM is worried about the rise of youth crime in her native Britain, insisting the innocence of childhood has been "stripped away" by violence.
The singer is set to headline a gig in her hometown of Liverpool, England, next month (Aug08) in memory of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, who was shot dead there while riding his bike last year (07).
And she insists she is haunted by the child's death.
She says, "It terrifies me to think that little kids are growing up in a country that is getting more and more violent. Kids carrying knives is just too awful to think about.
"But we can't sit around being shocked. We all have to do what we can to try to stop it.
"All I think about is what sort of low self-esteem and sense of self-worth these kids have if they accept that being killed in this culture of violence is just a fact of their lives

Mel C rules out second Spice reunion

Mel C has confirmed that the Spice Girls will not reunite for another world tour.

When the girls announced that they were cutting short their comeback tour in February, they refused to rule out further concerts in the future.

In a statement published on their website, they said: "Really sorry if we didn't get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives. But who knows what will happen?"

However, in a new interview with the News of the World, Mel admitted: "When it finished, we all knew that was it. Never again. But in a good way."

Mel had always refused to reunite with the girls following their split in 2001, but was finally convinced to take part in the group's comeback last year.

"The idea of putting on a great pop show was appealing, as was the idea of spending time with the girls," she explained. "It was an incredibly positive experience. We're all older and wiser, and we put a lot of ghosts to rest on that tour."

VICTORIA BECKHAM - BECKHAM WON'T STAR IN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

VICTORIA BECKHAM's representatives have laughed off rumours she is set to star in HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR - despite the film's star ZAC EFRON urging movie bosses to sign her up.
The former Spice Girl and fashion icon had allegedly been slated to play a sexy English teacher in the latest outing of the hit Disney franchise.
And speculation heightened after the lead hunk Efron gave the Brit his backing to land a role in the film, saying, "She (Victoria) is hot, funny - and let's not forget her success with The Spice Girls."
However, the move has been dismissed by Beckham's spokesperson, who insists the star has not been offered a role in the film.
The representative says, "She has not been approached, but the Beckham boys are big fans of High School Musical."
Beckham isn't a newcomer to cameo acting roles - she appeared in an episode of hit U.S. show Ugly Betty, playing a diva bridesmaid.

Quotes By The Spice Girls - Star Magazine

"You know, I might look like a stony-faced pain-in-the-arse cow, but in actual fact I like to have a laugh." We believe you, Victoria Beckham.
