How sad!

Emma Bunton had a tragic Christmas holiday after receiving a phone call that her longtime boyfriend Jade Jones' father passed away from a heart attack on Christmas Day.

Jade's father collapsed while celebrating Christmas with family and friends in Jamaica, where he is from.

A family friend says Emma's boyfriend is said to be 'inconsolable' and they're both 'devastated and shell-shocked'.

Our thoughts go out to Emma and Jade as well as their families during this difficult time.

Sounds like fun…sort of.

Emma Bunton of the Spice Girls has got a new gig working as a judge on a Brit competitive reality show. She will be replacing Ruthie Henshall on Dancing On Ice.

Gee, we didn't know she could ice skate?! Why didn't they ever do Spice on Ice?

That should be their next reunion gig!

It's been reported that the Spice Girls will be performing at the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics in London!

With Posh back on board!!!!

We're dying!!!!!

The Girls' manager, Simon Fuller, says the quintet (Posh, Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby) could possibly schedule their reunion/final tour to coincide with the Olympic Games.

"They stand for so much in British music history and I can't think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance," says Fuller. "The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever."

Fuller believes the girls will be ready to retire their Spice personalities come the 2012 Games, as the group "will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40's."

But we'd love to see them performing in their full Spice Girls get up in their 60's and 70's!

Ha!

The gals are expected to be present at the celebration 1,000 days prior to the Games, although no word whether or not they will be performing at the celebration.

Are U excited????

With talks of a tour and musical all that's left is television. And it looks like they're heading in that direction!

According to reports, the girls are planning a reality/talent show to find versions of themselves for the Spice Girls musical.

We're assuming if you want to take Victoria Beckham's spot you'll need to stop eating now and get some new tittays!

The band's former manager Simon Fuller and mastermind and owner of the "Idol" shows is helping with the idea.

Could you imagine all the crazies that would audition???

Mel B A source reveals that the idea is something that interests all the members saying:

"It's a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise and cash in on their personalities, their story and their songs. The girls would have to work intensely on a TV show for a short period of time. But they then launch a musical which could run for months or even years. It will take on a life of its own. The concept could even be replicated in other countries. The sky is the limit with this one."

We're not sure if the musical would run for years, but we're sure it has potential.

Would U watch a Spice Girls reality show???

OMG! We're dying! This must be the surprise she was talking about!

We've been telling you recently about another possible Spice Girls reunion and it turns out that they have been plotting a stage musical!

They're looking for 5 unknown actresses to portray each of them and bring their story of stardom to the stage in what's being billed as "a two-hour pop extravaganza!"

AMAZING!

Geri Halliwell aka Ginger Spice is the producer but apparently Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Beckham will be involved in the project as well, including the casting.

We wonder who the 5 girls will be?

Lucky girls for sure! With the Spice Girls' fan base the show is sure to be a mayjah hit!

We told you that there were murmurings of a Spice Girls reunion — although noticeably missing will be Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham.

Mel B aka Scary Spice has confirmed the news saying:

"We are definitely going to be doing something together again soon. We're actually working on it right now. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to spoil the surprise, but it's really, really exciting. I can't wait to be singing with the girls again."

Are U looking forward to seeing Baby, Ginger, Sporty and Scary Spice reunite?

What do U think the surprise will be?

Well, Posh's singing "talents" were never really featured in the group anyway, were they????

The remaining Spice Girls are reportedly planning to reunite for a "full-scale comeback" in the upcoming weeks!!!!!

Although Beckham doesn't have the "time or desire" to join the group again (boo), Mel B., Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel C. will be digging the platform sneakers out from the closet next week to discuss the reunion!!

Sources say the girls plan to be on the road by this time next year, although Bunton is not fully convinced she would like to return to her Baby Spice roots.

"Emma is being cautious but the minute she's with the girls they'll talk her round," says the insider.

And although Victoria is currently the most famous of the 5, the girls have no doubt they'll be able to cope without her.

Says one source: "When Geri left the first time, she was arguably the band's biggest star… If they coped without her, they are confident they can make it work without Posh."

Hmmm!

Do U think it will work without Beckham?????

She's gonna get in trouble for saying this!

There are all kinds of rumors flying around after the Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, and Melanie Chisholm had dinner last week. The theory is that another reunion is in the works, and more and more that seems to be accurate.

Recently, Geri was on a British talk show and confirmed that the girls were chatting about some "future plans".

Now Mel B. has Tweeted about the rumors, confirming them!!!!

She says:

"World cup! wow the press are soo silly no I am not getting the girls together for the world cup!!! We are getting together for other reasons!"

What reasons?! Don't leave us hanging like that!!!

If it is another tour, they need to hurry up and do it!

Enough with the runaround! Tell us what you are up to!

Could it be? Will they do it?

There are rumors floating abound that the Spice Girls may in fact be planning another reunion tour!!

While some people are little miffed by the idea, hardcore fans who missed out on the first run around the States and Europe should be pleased to hear that the girls have been chatting about some "future" plans.

You'll recall that last week, 4 out of the 5 ladies (Victoria Beckham was elsewhere) had dinner together in London. Well, Geri Halliwell hinted on a British morning talk show that the ladies talked about getting back together over that meal.

Geri says:

"We always talk about creative plans. Whatever happens afterwards is a bonus. Right now, I'll be honest: we are gathering information about a possibility…[but] when you are evolving a plan, you don't want to share it with the world."

That sounds like a hint-hint, nudge-nudge kind of response to us!

Would U like to see The Spice Girls have a second run of the reunion tour?

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do it! Do it! Do it!!!!!!!!!!
