Holly Jolly Celebrity Gifts—-Spice Girl Style

What did you get from your spouse this Christmas? Soccer star David Beckham gave his Spice Girl wife a gift I found very interesting. Not because it was priced at $1,500, but because it was made of paper and not precious gems. Victoria Beckham’s hot hubby dropped more than a grand to get a fashion book for his famous wife. The expensive (to me anyway—I’m sure $1,500 is stocking stuffer range for the Beckham’s) Christmas present, Valentino Garavani: First Name in Fashion is one of just 2,000 copies made available worldwide. Victoria’s was personally signed by the legendary designer, covered … Continue reading →

Spice The Survivor

She’s not the newest member of the Spice Girls… Spice is a calico cat who spent three weeks in a shipping container without food or water and lived to meow the tale. The Escamilla family was moving from Waikoloa Village, Hawaii to a new home in Southern California. While packing up a large shipping container, three year old Spice mysteriously disappeared. The family couldn’t find the cat before their flight to their new home, and kept calling neighbors back home to see if she’d turned up. She didn’t. It turns out Spice spent the nearly three week long journey across … Continue reading →

Spice Girls Reunite

Don’t believe the rumors… The Spice Girls will not be reuniting for the Princess Diana memorial concert next month. They are, however, preparing for a Christmas reunion tour, according to PEOPLE magazine. A source close to the group told the publication that the popular five-woman group will be reuniting together in December to perform new material that is currently being created by Geri Halliwell, a.k.a. “Ginger Spice” and Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton. The Spice Girls were one of the most successful female acts of the 1990s, thanks in large part to their manager Simon Fuller (the man who created “American … Continue reading →

Stars Branching Out (And it Ain’t Pretty)

Not again… Victoria Beckham went from being a model to a singer to the subject of a reality TV series to earning a bit part on a popular network series and now the 34-year-old Spice Girl is headed to the big screen. UGH! Hold on a minute and you might understand why David Beckham’s wife is set to make her movie debut in “Hardy Men.” According to reports, she was personally hired by the film’s star Tom Cruise. Which just goes to show you that it’s not what you know, but who you know in Hollywood that guarantees work. According … Continue reading →

If you are a parent of a Hannah Montana fan and live in New York you might just want to brace yourself for this next newsflash: The first showing of the “Hannah Montana” concert movie at the Ziegfield theater was practically empty today. That’s right… while the rest of the country continues to battle over movie tickets that were sold out weeks ago you and your tween could have seen “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert,” and not only that, you could have propped up your feet up on the empty chairs … Continue reading →

Spicing Up Victoria’s Secret and Bye-Bye Femmes

SPICING UP VICTORIA’S SECRET There’s nothing like one-stop shopping. Though, I’m not sure how I feel about CDs being featured in the same display as underwire bras. Leave it to the Spice Girls to spice up an already hot store. The all-female group recently announced it plans to partner with lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret to sell their new 15-track album. The sexy pop group’s deal to sell their Greatest Hits album is exclusive. Which means you can forget about looking for the yet to be released CD at traditional music stores. The singers’ rationale behind the one-of-a-kind deal: “They do … Continue reading →

Hot Concert Acts Sell Out in Seconds

Thirty-eight seconds to be exact. That’s right; in less time than it takes to warm up a cup of coffee tickets for the Spice Girls London reunion show completely sold out. And, wait until you find out how long it took for Miley Cyrus’ concerts to sell out. More on “Hannah Montana” later… let’s discuss those spicy Brits first. The all-girl group hasn’t performed together in nearly a decade (Geri Halliwel, a.k.a. “Ginger Spice,” quit, citing “differences in 1998), but who knew their popularity would rival acts such U2, Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen (all who remain in the record … Continue reading →

Familiar Faces Return For New TV Season

The new fall TV season can’t come soon enough—especially for couch potatoes who are tired of sitting through endless summer reruns. (I’m on “Big Brother” overload myself.) Hang in there TV fans, we’re just a few short weeks away from the new season and to get the excitement brewing I’ve got a rundown on some familiar faces making their way back to the small screen. Take a look: DREW LACHEY The former 98 Degrees member turned “Dancing with the Stars” champ is reuniting with the judges who helped him earn that tacky mirrored disco-ball trophy. As I mentioned in a … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Speedy Nuptials, Speedy Recoveries and More

Speeding Nuptials Spice Girl Melanie Brown is back in the headlines again. No, she’s not lunching with any more of Eddie Murphy’s former love interests; rather she’s raising eyebrows for getting hitched to her own love interest. According to Brown’s rep, the singer secretly married her boyfriend, Stephen Belafonte, in Las Vegas two months ago. According to friends of the couple, the pair has known each other for years, but things turned romantic when Brown became pregnant with Murphy’s baby. According to Brown, Belafonte (no relation to singer Harry Belafonte) was a “tremendous support” to her during her pregnancy. The … Continue reading →

So Much Ballyhoo About The Beckham’s

In the course of my daughter’s recent illness she has gotten into a pattern of wanting a full body massage at around 2 a.m. It’s around this time that I switch on the news (mute it) and read the headlines that scrawl at the bottom of the screen. I have been shocked that for the past three nights one of the top stories has been David and Victoria Beckham’s move to America. The British soccer star and his “Spice Girl” wife’s move from England to California has been covered by all the major networks, the cable channels, and extensively by … Continue reading →
