wenn2745478jb.jpg

Awful!! We had no idea!!

Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has come forward and admitted that after she left the girl group back in the day, she suffered from bulimia!!

Luckily for her, she had a surprising confidante who managed to convince her to seek treatment for the eating disorder: Robbie Williams!!

Wow!!

Ginger says:

'I became really close to Robbie after leaving the Spice Girls and it was a very poignant friendship. I was lonely and felt he was the only person on the planet who could understand me because of his experiences with Take That. We understood each other. But I didn't really go out with him.

'I was worried I'd get fat. I would binge and then felt fatter and would make myself sick. It was awful. Robbie knew about my bulimia and he advised me to get help. He told me to go to rehab and that possibly saved my life. The bulimia would have got worse without it. I will always be grateful to him, always. I am happy and healthy now.'

She's right - she is very lucky she sought out treatment before the disease completely overtook her life!!

We commend her for being strong enough to talk about her struggle openly, and Robbie for being such a wonderful friend!!

Congratulations, bb! You look WONDERFUL!!

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?

Geri Getting Married?!

Filed under: Geri Halliwell > Love Line

Geri Halliwell was seen romping around London on Wednesday and it was pretty suspicious! The former Spice Girl was accompanied by Kenny Goss, George Michael's long-term boyfriend, and the two visited a church and some fancy dress shops.

Could we be hearing wedding bells?!

They spent an hour seeing the church St-John-at-Hampshire and visited several tailors by way of limo. As the two made their way around the shops, an bystander asked who was getting married and Kenny pointed to Geri before correcting himself.

"Er, I mean both of us," he said.

Halliwell has been dating Henry Beckwith since last April, so it's safe to assume they're getting hitched!

"Geri and Kenny seemed to be spending the day making wedding arrangements. They were in the church ages before looking at formal dress at the tailors," said an onlooker. "Geri was giggling and seemed really excited. She wouldn't say what they were doing, but Kenny let the cat out of the bag."

A spokesperson for the singer denied she was planning to wed, but claims the reason she visited the church was a "private matter."

Riiiiiiight.

Geri Showing Her Man Some Tough Love

Filed under: Geri Halliwell > Love Line

us-only-halliwell-011010-072.jpg

Things are looking pretty serious between these two lovebirds.

Geri Halliwell and her millionaire of a boyfriend, Henry Beckwith, were spotted having a playful snowball fight in London yesterday afternoon.

The two were on their way to do some shopping when Geri decided to be cute and throw a snowball at her beau.

That caused Henry to throw one back at her, and for a few moments, the two seemed to have a great time pelting each other with snow.

The couple has been dating since last March which leads us to wonder if there might be a special ring given to her on their one year anniversary. Or would that be too soon?

Either way, we hope they last.

They'd have some incredibly rich cute babies together.

George Michael Loves His Pot And Anonymous Sex!

wenn2370780george.jpg

We don't know if it's his way of validating his bad behavior or what, but George Michael is living up to his reputation of being a total mess.

Michael decided to partake in an extremely candid interview with a UK tabloid, and had no problem discussing his drug and sex addictions, stating "it's just who i am."

Those sounds like the words of an addict in major denial!

George says he only smokes "seven or eight" spliffs a day, cutting back on the his 25-a-day habit, but still found it necessary to smoke two joints during the interview.

Michael fondly discussed his sex life with the interviewer, reminiscing when he would pick up boys at Hampstead Heath!

"The handful of times a year it's bloody warm enough, I'll do it," Michael recalled. "It's a much nicer place to get some quick and honest sex than standing in a bar, E'd off your tits shouting at somebody and hoping they want the same thing as you do in bed."

He also revealed that Elton John, Bono and Geri Halliwell have all tried to help the troubled pop star get off the bad stuff, but he shuts them down before they get a chance.

"Elton lives on that," said Michael. "He will not be happy until I bang on his door in the middle of the night saying, 'Please, please, help me, Elton. Take me to rehab.' It's not going to happen."

"Elton just needs to shut his mouth and get on with his own life."

Wow.

What an ungrateful, drug addicted bitch!
