Victoria Beckham fires off against Britney Spears

March 13th, 2008 admin

Britney Spears

THE artist formerly known as Posh Spice has reignited her feud with troubled popster Britney Spears. Just what has ruffled the feathers of the normally serene Mrs Beckham?
Beckham, who first fell out with Spears when the Toxic star reportedly refused to sit next to her at prestigious Los Angeles’ hotel Chateau Marmont last year, has now blasted the 26-year-old for not having any personal input into her perfume line.

Speaking about the launch of her new dVb denim range for men, Beckham said: “I’m a complete control freak and I want everything to be perfect. I’m not doing a Britney Spears and just putting my name on something and saying, ‘Sell this perfume.’

“This is a real passion of mine. People think all I do is go shopping like a miserable cow, but, in actual fact, I work b****y hard.”

The mother-of-three also revealed how she likes her soccer star husband to wear his denims.

Spice Girls

March 10th, 2008 admin

The Spice Girls are a BRIT Award-winning English girl pop group formed in London in 1994 by Humera ‘Bu’ A, consisting of Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm. The girls were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, “Wannabe”, in 1996. The song went on to spend seven weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart, and helped establish the group as an “international phenomenon”.They went on to release three studio albums and thirteen singles, selling in excess of 55 million records worldwide. The group is one of the most successful and biggest girl groups of all time, due to their increasing record sales, reunion tour, merchandising, record sales in different countries, record breaking achievements, such as Wannabe being the biggest single released by a female group of all time, and iconic symbolism such as the union jack dress, “Girl Power”, and their nicknames.

Under the guidance of their long time mentor and manager Simon Fuller, the group embraced merchandising and became a regular feature of the British press. Each member of the group was given an alias by Top of the Pops Magazine in 1996, aliases which were adopted by the group and media alike. According to biographer David Sinclair, “Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty were the most widely recognized group of individuals since John, Paul, George and Ringo”, and the group was “a social phenomenon that changed the course of popular music and popular culture”. In 1997, the Spice Girls released a movie called Spiceworld:The Movie.

The members went their separate ways in 2001 (although a break-up was never formally announced) to focus on their solo careers. On 28 June 2007 all five re-formed before the launch of their Reunion Tour in December, alongside the release of their Greatest Hits album. In December 2007, the Spice Girls made a programme called Giving You Everything, which showed the beginning to the current reunion of the Spice Girls. In February 2008, the Spice Girls announced that they were ending their tour in Toronto on 26th February 2008. While they are currently on hiatus, they have stated on their official blog, “Who knows what will happen next!”

Victoria Beckham

Birth Name
Victoria Caroline Adams

Nickname
Posh Spice

Height
5′ 4″ (1.63 m)

Mini Biography

Victoria Adams was born April 1974. She does not like being called Vicky. Instead, call her Posh, which stands for the best of everything (an old luxury liner term, P.O.S.H. stood for “Port Out, Starboard Home”– the best rooms). Growing up, she didn’t like being driven to school in her father’s Rolls Royce (they were very wealthy; later, as Posh, she would have an image of someone who revels in wealth). Victoria began as a dancer before eventually landing a spot as a member of The Spice Girls. While in college, Victoria was briefly in another band. After completing the 3-year course at Lanie Arts, she answered an ad in “The Stage” magazine, which was looking for 5 girls who could sing and dance. Victoria was picked, history was about to be made. (Victoria had met: Emma who had been in a play with her when they were kids; Geri while auditioning for a role in Tank Girl (1995); Mel C. attended a rival school when they were 15; and Mel B. at the audition for the forming of the band.) The Spice Girls became fantastically successful, achieving international fame. The wildly popular Spice Girls performed at sold-out concerts, did tours, and of course the Spice World (1997) movie. Victoria married soccer player David Beckham, and they had a son in 1999.
