With poor sales of her dVb denim line leading to rumors of it being dropped by retailers, Victoria Beckham headed over to Kitson in Beverly Hills on Tuesday to help create a little buzz.
As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Kitson owner Fraser Ross recently told press: “She’s not supporting the line. It’s not good for her brand and not good for her endorsements. In a tough economy, you need to be in partnership with the people that are selling your line to your fans. That’s the bottom line. Victoria lives fifteen minutes from the store. That’s just bad business.”
The Spice Girls made what’s believed to be their final live appearance last night in Toronto, bidding farewell during the conclusion of their reunion tour.
“Our time is up ... we’ve come to the end of the road ... there are tears of both sadness and joy. Look how far we’ve come!,” the Spice Girls wrote on their Web site, adding, “Yes, our reunion tour is proof that dreams do come true.”
To wrap up their New York area shows, the Spice Girls were joined on stage by nearly all of the Spice children at Madison Square Garden last night for a special performance of their hit song “Mama”.
The only Spice offspring missing from the entertaining family sing-along was Melanie Brown’s oldest daughter, Phoenix.
Cruz Beckham turns 3 tomorrow), but he has already performed live on stage. During the Spice Girls concert at Madison Square Garden Monday night the spice kids were brought up on stage. Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham brought all three of her boys during the encoure and convinced Cruz to do his thing. Finally overcoming his shyness, Cruz broke out with flips and a frenzied breakdance. Also in attendance were Baby Spice’s 6-month-old Beau, Ginger Spice’s Bluebell, 21 months, Mel B.’s Angel Iris, 10 months, the older Beck boys, Brooklyn, 8, and Romeo, 5 — and the lone, barren Mel C. Two concert-goers caught the action. Here’s a shorter clip:

Spice Girls Victoria Beckham
As our groundbreaking social essay proved yesterday, Posh Spice wants the gays. Well, she's one step closer today! Gays love theatre, right? Especially musical theatre. So it's quite a coup that the pouty pop singer also known as Victoria Beckham has had her name swapped in for Britney Spears's in an hilarious bit of lyric from "Diva's Lament", a song from Spamalot, the Monty Python Broadway smash hit singing sensation. She's one step away from being mentioned in a Mark Russell ditty! Then she'll have The Olds, too! Oh, and why did they take Britney's name out? "Because we don't laugh at sad people," says show creator Eric Idle. Aww/Ouch. [AP] After the jump, see how the lyrics changed, plus watch a geigh guy lip sync the original.
"I am sick of my career
Always stuck in second gear
Up to here with frustration and with fears
I've no Grammy no rewards
I've no Tony Awards
I'm constantly replaced by Britney Spears
Britney Spears!"
Has been replaced by:
"My love life is a mess
I've got constant PMS
My career is about as hot as ice
They hate me there backstage
They say I'm too old for my age
They're trying to replace me with Posh Spice
With Posh Spice!!"
While the Spice Girls have cut their tour a bit short, they still have a few more dates to play. And Victoria Beckham is making the most of her touring status by doing a little shopping in New York City.
The paparazzi caught up with Posh yesterday on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, doing what she does best- spending money.

They’ve had one of the most successful and lucrative reunion tours in history, but even that wasn’t enough to keep them together. The Spice Girls are no more.
As for a reason for the group’s dissolution, they’ve cited “family commitments,” although insiders are saying that the real reason stems from constant arguing and power struggles.
If you live in Australia, Argentina and China I am sorry my friend. Because the Spice Gals won't be gracing your civic arenas anytime soon. They are cutting their world tour short, and wrapping it up in Toronto. Why? Well, rumors of poor ticket sales in places other than the UK and US for one. The other is that Scary and Sporty (Mels B and C) reportedly had enough. Mel B wants to get back to her children and scary duck-killing husband. She's also reportedly received numerous offers here in the States since her "Dancing With The Stars" stint. Offers to what? Bang a rich guy for a cash baby? Mel C reportedly thought the tour was playing havoc with her solo career in the UK, and was the least convinced that a reunion tour was necessary. Dude, you can't tell me receiving a multi-million dollar paycheck to lope across the stage and screech bad pop songs is worse than appearing as the opening act for Gloria Gaynor in some gay pub in Liverpool. Stop clownin'. The official word from their people is "sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria."
The Spice Girls themselves said ""We've had such an amazing time over the past 3 months. It's been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we've really been able to appreciate it properly this time...Really sorry if we didn't get to see you this time round." Whatever! I hate you! Seriously, I would have gone just to see Posh do her catwalk thing. The others each got a solo song, but since she can't sing or dance - they just had her walk down a catwalk and pout and look like an alien. I'd sign up.

The Spice Girls seem to have done a pretty good job of keeping tight-lipped on their tour. There’s been mostly positive press and decent reviews, though ticket sales haven’t been entirely impressive. There have been lots of stories of how family oriented they all are now. But apparently relations behind the scenes were getting pretty tense, leading both Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm to quit. Now the entire worldwide reunion/farewell tour has been canceled after only two months of performing. Both Mels officially blamed family commitments, but according to the Daily Mail, they’re just tired of the tour.
However, despite citing family commitments as their reason for cutting the tour short, sources close to the group say the two Mels did not want to continue.
After they were presented with a new tour schedule the friend said to the Daily Mirror: “Mel B wasn’t having any of it. She misses her husband and children and said she couldn’t go on. She’s also been flooded with US offers after her success on Dancing With Stars.
“Mel C agreed it was time to call it a day. She was the least excited about it. She also feared it might jeopardise her solo career.”
Officially, a spokesman for the girls said: “Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria.
[From the Daily Mail]
I’m guessing there was some drama behind the scenes, though the girls have been very careful to only release positive information. There’s a lot of talk about their personal and family commitments, how much fun they’ve had, maybe they’ll do it again, etc. What I want to hear is about Mel B shoving a raw steak in Posh’s face or Baby Spice trying to kick Geri Halliwell in the head. All this professional politeness is bor-ring. They’ve still got until the end of February to give us what we want.
He’s already one of the most successful and recognizable icons in the fashion industry, but even Roberto Cavalli benefits from a Spice Girls appearance.
The five lasses from the UK showed up earlier today at the Roberto Cavalli Menswear Autumn 2008/Winter 2009 fashion show.
The Spice Girls were out on the catwalk with Roberto Cavalli today for his show during Milan Fashion Week. Rraaoow. I swear to God Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes are having some kind of Norma Desmond contest. They're both trying to look like turban-wearing Old Hollywood insanity living in a dliapidated mansion, beside a swimming pool filled with dead squirrels. It's a better crazy than Britney, but still a little loony. Both of them look like they want a manservant. And a ride in a convertible Model T. And possibly a murder.

Mel B sprained her ankle after partying too hard on NYE according 3AM.
Speaking to the crowd at the start of their first show of 2008 at the O2 Arena, Geri crowed: "Mel B got so drunk she fell down a flight of stairs and twisted her ankle, so she won't be busting the moves tonight."
One fan said: "Scary was certainly much more reserved. It was clear the injury was affecting her and she couldn't gyrate around the stage like normal."
Scary Spice is the second Spice Girl to sprain her ankle, Baby Spice sprained her ankle during a sober show in Vegas last month. Hopefully the other 3 girls will make it through the reunion tour unharmed!
They’re the hottest ticket around, and the Spice Girls are making the most of their reunion success. For New Year’s Eve, they celebrated together as one big happy Spice family.
The choice for dinner was none other than hotspot Nobu Berkeley in Park Lane. After they got their grub on, the girls and their men headed over to Claridges.
Victoria Beckham reportedly had designer clothes and jewelry, worth tens of thousands of dollars stolen from her dressing room during a Spice Girls’ concert in beautiful Cologne, Germany on Thursday.
The pouting Posh Spice lost two pairs of shoes worth almost $11,500 per pair, along with Spice Girls costumes, including jackets and jewelry, according to the The Sunday Mirror (a British newspaper).
Becks, was “most upset” to discover that among the stolen goods was a favorite red satin dressing robe custom designed by Roberto Cavalli with “Mrs. Beckham” printed on the front and “Posh” on the back.
Oddly, the robbers didn’t touch her bandmates’ belongings.
“All the other girls’ dressing rooms were untouched, but somebody had clearly been rifling through Victoria’s possessions,” a source told The Sunday Mirror.
“She was very upset. Fashion means everything to her. She keeps all her old outfits in storage.”
Lately Posh has had some humbling moments. Last week she had a falling out with her backup dancers whom she caught mocking her. According to a source:
“She walked in on a dancer doing an impression of her, just standing at the mike, breathing heavily and pouting.”
Despite her loss and frustration, the Victoria still managed to get into the holiday spirit and extend holiday wishes to her fans from her website.
Spice Girls Victoria Beckham“I want to wish everyone a very merry (and of course fashionable) Christmas and a Happy New Year,” Beckham posted on her blog on Friday. “I would like to thank all of you for your amazing support during this extremely exciting time. My family and I wish you and yours a New Year of much health and happiness.”

While Victoria Beckham is doing her thing with the Spice Girls, her hubby David is enjoying the perks of being married to a major pop star.
The soccer stud was spotted in Madrid, Spain yesterday, living it up in his former team’s city. Becks grabbed some dinner at Asador Donostiarra (reportedly a fave of his) and hammed it up with some fans.
The Spice Girls brought their children up on stage in the middle of their show to make it a family affair on Tuesday night.
The Spice children joined the Spice moms for their hit song Mama at London’s O2 Arena.
Victoria Beckham had her boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, dressed in matching T-shirts emblazoned with the words ‘POSH’.
Baby Spice Emma Bunton held four-month-old son Beau, while Mel B had daughters Phoenix Chi and Angel Iris in tow.
The smaller children wore bright green ear muffs to protect them against the noise.
Geri Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell was the only Spice offspring missing.

How cute that the Spice Girls brought all but one member of the next generation of the Spice Girls on the stage with them!!!
‘Tis the season for random serenading! And Spice Girl Melanie Brown was spotted with her hubby, singing to shoppers in Selfridge, followed by a trip to Cipriani.
Perhaps she was trying to improve her public image. Apparently there were quite a few mothers at the Spice Girls’ opening night gig in London that didn’t approve of what their children were subjected to, courtesy of Mel.
It’s back to mother England for the Spice Girls, as they kicked off the much-anticipated UK leg of their comeback tour on Saturday night.
The band opened the first of a 17 night run at London’s O2 arena, telling the audience, “It’s so good to be home.”
The Spice Girls got a chance to say “thank you” in person to Sir Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Atlantic Airlines, for hooking them up with their very own 747 “Spice One.”
Earlier today, they showed up at London’s Heathrow Airport to attend the grand opening of a new terminal, where they met up with Branson and posed for some pictures.
So…do you think they look better then or now?

As if the masses of screaming fans and overwhelming demand for concert tickets wasn’t enough, the Spice Girls have been hooked up with their own plane for their reunion tour.
The “Spice One” is a Virgin Atlantic 747 jet in which the five UK superstars and their families will be frolicking around the world over the next couple of months.
Her are the Spice Girls at the unveiling of their Virgin Atlantic plane, named Spice One. I am still blown away by this whole reunion of theirs and how much money they're raking in. I need to start a girl group. Also, if you look closely, you can see Emma Bunton's crutches hiding in the background, tucked away behind her. That's because the blonde Spice Girl recently twisted her ankle during a performance in Vegas on Tuesday night and has been hobbling around ever since. Other than that, they all look great--I love their outfits. And despite's Emma's injury, the girls are still planning on moving forward with the UK leg of their tour. Girl power, yo.

Victoria Beckham has denied rumors she is pregnant with her fourth child. The Spice Girl singer is already mother of three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5, and two-year-old Cruz with soccer hunk David Beckham. Speculation that Posh was pregnant was sparked when the band kicked off their worldwide tour earlier this month.
What seemed to fuel some of these rumors was a report in London’s Metro Newspaper, that Victoria, made two separate shopping trips to the exclusive Petit Tresor baby store in Brentwood, LA last week.
Posh reportedly picked out a Blankee brand blanket before returning for a pink cashmere stuffed animal on another day.
Insiders claim that Posh has starting doing up the nursery in the Becham’s new LA pad. Motivation for keeping the supposed pregnancy secret is to avoid creating a distraction during the ‘The Spice Girls reunion tour’.
But the 33-year-old star insisted on The Larry King Show last night that while she would like to have a little girl in the future, she is ‘not’ pregnant or planning on getting pregnant anytime soon.
“I would love a little girl at some point,” said Victoria.
“But, you know, I have got three boys at the moment that are hard work. They are very, very active. And I’m constantly getting soccer balls kicked at me. I think at some point a little girl would be great but at the moment I want to enjoy the children that I’ve got.
“The rumors are not true. I’m not pregnant. I keep getting asked but I’m not pregnant. Hopefully I will be blessed enough to have more children at some point but at the moment my children keep me very, very busy. They actually put me in goal and they just all kick footballs with me. I’m the goalie of the family.”

No Tomkat or Mr. Posh sightings at last Friday's Spice Girls Concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but who cares? There was enough taking place on stage to keep us well-occupied. The concert excited me in places that haven't been excited in years and I'm not even sure it's healthy for those "places" to be excited. Our seats were super-close to the stage-left catwalk ,which made for some awesome photos and I even managed to snag the above video as they opened the show with "Spice Up Your Life." Enjoy!

Spice Girl Melanie Chishlom played a solo concert last night at Mint, and who just happened to catch the show? Find out which of the Spice Girls showed up to cheer Melanie C on after the jump.
“Spiceworld” hit San Jose, California last night, and the Hewlett Packard Pavilion was rocking the night away.
In the first US show of their reunion tour, Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown, Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, Emma “Baby Spice” Burton, Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm and Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell took the stage like the seasoned veterans that they are. And they put on what many are calling the concert of the year.
Well the reviews are in (I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with baited breath) – and despite the lackluster reception at the Victoria’s Secret show, the Spice Girls’ first concert has actually gotten pretty good reviews. The sold-out Vancouver show had over 15,000 people in attendance. The girls were never known for their singing, so no one’s really evaluating them on that. They weren’t even the greatest dancers. But they were good performers and knew how to please an audience, and according to the professionals (ie people that get paid to review Spice Girls concerts… what a job) the girls still have it.
“The solid gold Spice Girls,” said London’s Evening Standard, a reference to golden outfits the “girl power” quintet sported during the show, one of several costume changes on the night. The reviewer called the performance “ebullient pop music of a very high standard, presented with panache, and highly unlikely to provoke any attendance at the refund window.”
Despite the sassy young singers who stormed the pop world in the 1990s all now being in their 30s, four of them with children, they had yet to pass their sell-by date. “There seems no diminution in the energy they are prepared to expend, or the lengths they will go to to please the audience.”
The Vancouver Sun noted the crush for Spice Girls merchandise, underlining the lasting appeal of Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, Melanie “Sporty” Chisholm, Geri “Ginger” Halliwell, Melanie “Scary” Brown and Emma “Baby” Bunton. “Just as it was 10 years ago, the show wasn’t about great singing or dancing,” wrote the reviewer. “But it was about great entertainment. And the girls delivered the spice.”

I know, I know. Breathe your sighs of relief. There’s some debate as to whether or not they were lip-syncing… but the debate seems to be mostly between critics, as their fans don’t seem to give a rip. And despite reportedly telling him not to attend, Posh’s husband David Beckham showed up anyway. Good for him, he knew a trap when he saw one. Several reviewers did note that all the girls had a solo performance except for Posh. Apparently she’s the worst singer of the group. That’s kind of like being the worst brussel sprout in the bowl, right?

Oh yes, it is finally here. The Spice Girls reunion tour is officially underway, and the girls played their first show in Vancouver, British Columbia last night to 16,000 grateful fans.
The five UK superstars opened their show with a video of five “Spice-like” girls and their aspirations to one day become pop singers. Then Mel C, Mel B, Geri, Emma, and Victoria took the stage by storm with “Spice Up Your Life.”
The Spice Girls have kicked off their 40-date world tour with their performanc in Vancouver yesterday. It was all about gold lame this time, with the girls decked out in outfits designed by Roberto Cavalli. Reportedly, the hype about their reunion has been well-deserved as they ladies delivered a show that didn't disappoint. Each of them sang live that evening, according to their rep, who added, ""There is a click track for the band to keep them in time, which is standard, but all of the girls' vocals were live." David Beckham made an appearance at the girls' gig, which had Victoria nervous, yet excited. Additionally, a few costume changes had the ladies paying tribute to their Spice alter-egoes of days gone by. All in all, it sounds as if fans felt that they had received a show worth the money they'd dished out to see the ladies on-stage again. Meanwhile, I would have been excited if I were there, but seriously, I'm not paying that kind of scratch unless it's Celine, Mariah or Gwen.
Yesterday was a big day for “Dancing With The Stars.” They’re in the final round of the season, and the Spice Girls also happened to drop by to support their bandmate Melanie Brown.
Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Beckham, and Geri Halliwell all showed up in a black Cadillac Escalade to cheer Brown on.

Check out the Spice Girls' performance at the Vicitora's Secret fashion show. Are we happy they're back?
For the first time in about a decade, the Spice Girls reunited on stage as a group and the occasion was the annual televised Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Amidst the wings and boobies, the ladies were a major draw for celebrity fans who gushed over the performance. "Heroes" star, Hayden Panettiere, gushed about the experience, telling People magazine:
"I was dancing and singing along. I loved it.""The Spice Girls were great. I knew every word to the first song. Enough said."
"I'm here to support Victoria.""Go Spice Girls!"

We’ve all been hoping, and waiting patiently for the Spice Girls to get on with their reunion gigs. And yesterday in Los Angeles, the five British babes made their reunion debut.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was the scene for Mel C, Mel B, Geri, Victoria, and Emma to get together and make some killer music. And that’s just what they did.

The Spice Girls looks great together again at the Victoria Secret's Fashion Show that will air on CBS on December 4th.
What I thought was interesting about the pictures is that Mel B's eyes were closed in all of them and Victoria Beckham looks kind of nervous performing. What do you think explains those two things?
These Spice Girls are grabbing that cash while they can! Not only are they linking their tour up with Vicki's panty shop, but now they're shilling for Tesco. It's kind of like the British version of Wal*Mart. Admittedly, they look good and fairly normal except for Victoria Beckham who looks like something out of the cantina in "Star Wars". She knows if Greedo shot first or not. Yes, I'm a friggin' nerd.

The Spice Girls have gone all the way to show their fans that although they are a decade older than when they first began, they still have all the hot stuff and right moves. Their new album promotes friendship but they are dressed to kill. They are also dressed to compete with one another. One critic asked why the Girls were wearing underwear while singing about their friendship with one another.

If you’re one of the super-lucky ticketholders for a Spice Girls Reunion concert, I don’t need to tell you to get excited. And Emma Bunton announced on the band’s official site that rehearsals have begun. She wrote:
“Hello from LA, we’re finally here! Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who posted messages on my official website about the photo of Beau. Sorry it took so long to introduce him but I’m sure you’ll agree he’s worth the wait. Jade and I are besotted with him.
A stylish Victoria Beckham was spotted out and about Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (October 30).
The Spice Girl wore a bright purple dress and showed off her recently dyed locks. The new hairdo was a planned style change leading up to her group’s comeback next month.
