It's Happening! Spice Girls Musical Gets Serious!

Filed under: Geri Halliwell

We had mentioned some time ago that while a much-desired second reunion tour has yet to be the announced, the Spice Girls would be still be hitting the stage - in a musical!

Now, some more concrete details are beginning to surface about the efforts to get this done and we are very pleased!

Sources say that Geri Halliwell has approached Judy Craymer, the woman behind Mamma Mia!, with the idea of turning the Spice Girl's music into a Broadway hit, and after a little nudging, Judy has finally decided to sign on.

With the forces of Geri, Judy and one-time manager of the Spice Girls Simon Fuller combined, the team is in the beginning stages of developing Viva Forever, the chosen name for the stage show.

According to Craymer, the show make take 2-3 years to get off it's feet.

We're patient! Take your time! Make it great!

Is it done yet?

Confirmed: X Factor Looking For Two Women To Fill Spots!

This is PERFECT!

This fits perfectly with our hopes and dreams that Mizz Britney Spears will take one of those judges seats... and that the other might be filled with Fergie or Janet Jackson!

As we reported earlier, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid are on the hunt for two hosts to fill the void left now by former host Steve Jones. There are lots of rumors floating around, but here is something that L.A. can confirm: two girls are a MUST for the job! As Reid told sources:

“We will likely have two girls. That, you can probably count on.”

But don't get too excited. Things mind change beyond next season, as they're looking for a co-ed team to tackle hosting duties later on!!

Here's what Simon said:

“I always wanted a boy and a girl to host the show and I think that’s definitely going to happen now. I think it’s going to make it more interesting.”

All of this news has us SUPER excited for next season!

With Brit's experience in the industry, and say Janet Jackson's wisdom -- we can't think of a better fit.

And at this point we'd be totally let down if it didn't happen! Ha!

The problem is... we want to know now!!
