Spice Girls

And Now For Something Completely Different

Critics Hate the Spice Girls Musical, But the Spice Girls Don’t Care Because Girl Power!

Somehow the knowledge that a Spice Girls musical is something that exists escaped my notice. I’m not sure how, exactly, as it seems like the sort of thing that would stay lodged in my head upon just hearing it mentioned (much like Wannabe). But alas, though I did not know about it, there is a Spice Girls musical. And critics don’t want it. They really, really don’t want it. Zig-a-zig-ahhh.

The London Olympics have come and gone, and the world has a slew of amazing athletes to celebrate, in addition to a lot of dreaming young future Olympians to tend to. Here are 12 photos from the dazzling closing ceremony that capped off the 2012 London Olympics, an event that proved to be just as beautiful as the two weeks of peaceful and inspiring competition that preceded it. Oh, and our favorite pre-Olympics rumor totally panned out, the Spice Girls did perform during the ceremony! Be still my made-in-the-90s heart.

Favorite Rumor of the Day: Spice Girls To Reunite For Closing Ceremony of 2012 London Olympics

The Spice Girls’ 1997 film Spice World was probably a terrible, terrible movie — it was a campy, poorly-written, and ridiculous, but I loved it to death and I still watch it on occasion because the Spice Girls changed the world with the music. Seriously! How many people can really say they didn’t love “Wannabe” or “Spice Up Your Life”? Unfortunately, whenever I think back on dancing to Spice Girls jams, I always have to remind myself I’m no longer in the musical era of girl-power girl bands. So while it’s almost certainly not true, based on the source, me and other Spice Girl fans can at least entertain the fantasy that the pop girl group sensation will be reuniting to perform at at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony. You crazy 90s kids.

Holy Guacamole, Is There Going to Be Another Spice Girls Reunion???

by Jamie Frevele | 2:47 pm, February 8th, 2012

It’s not like they didn’t just reunite for other projects and events, but every time someone teases a Spice Girls reunion, it’s totally exciting! This time, the tease comes from Mel B aka Sporty Spice, who hinted at a reunion “next month” on Twitter. Next month is the beginning of rehearsals for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. OMG — the Spice Girls might be rejoining forces for Queen Elizabeth! I’m so glad I finally learned to appreciate the ridiculous camp of the Spice Girls after spending the height of their original fame not wearing blush and listening to showtunes and the soundtrack to Batman Forever.
