The Spice Girls musical playing in London's West End is called Viva Forever!, but its run will last only six months. It was confirmed today that Viva Forever! will close early in June, despite the best promotional efforts of Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham. Due to poor ticket sales and worse reviews, backers of the production say they could not make the financials work. In a statement the Girls expressed their own thoughts, saying, "Although Viva Forever won't continue in the West End, we are thrilled that the thousands of people who came to the show had as much fun as we did."

It was a Spice Girls reunion last night at their Viva Forever!

It was a Spice Girls reunion last night at their Viva Forever! premiere held at London's Piccadilly Theatre. Victoria Beckham was joined on the carpet by David, Romeo, Brookyn, and Cruz, while Harper skipped out on the celebration. Victoria was reportedly running a bit late and missed out on the opportunity to pose with her fellow Spice Girls, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Melanie Chisholm on the carpet but met up with them on stage to congratulate the performers afterward. Reviews of Viva Forever are rather brutal, but that didn't dampen the Girls' enthusiasm. It's been a few months since we've seen the group back together — the fab five famously closed out the Summer Olympics with a medley of their biggest hits.

The Beckhams are reportedly spending the holidays in England as David and Victoria continue house hunting overseas. It was another exciting year for the Beckhams, with Harper's first birthday and David's retirement from soccer ranking among their major milestones.

The Spice Girls Bring Girl Power to the Olympic Closing Ceremony

The Spice Girls were back together at this evening's Closing Ceremony in London!
by

The Spice Girls were back together at this evening's Closing Ceremony in London! The five girls — Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton — reunited to sing the hit that made them famous, "Wannabe," as well as "Spice Up Your Life." We caught a glimpse of the Spice Girls rehearsing earlier this week, and they even polished off their moves with one last run-through this morning. For the big show, Victoria wore a dress from British designer Giles Deacon, and Geri even had a bit of Union Jack on her red mini.

It seems Victoria was excited to be back with her old bandmates, as she tweeted a couple picture of their preparations this afternoon. She also shared the quote, "Behind every success is effort, behind every effort is passion, behind every passion is someone with the courage to try." Mel B was also feeling the magnitude of the occasion. She tweeted, "What an amazing day today!" Emma, meanwhile, was in a girl power state of mind. She wrote, "It's all pink tonight, baby!"

See Victoria Beckham Reunite to Rehearse With the Spice Girls

The Spice Girls reunited yesterday to rehearse their routine for the Olympics closing ceremony! Their show will take place as the London 2012 Games come to an end on Sunday. Victoria Beckham was in head-to-toe black to belt it out alongside her former bandmates Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell. It seems their portion of the show will have a very British theme, as the Girls were seen singing atop black cabs at the Ford factory in East London. Victoria will have a turn to participate in the Games after her husband helped kick things off in the opening ceremony. David drove a speedboat carrying the Olympic flame up to the East London site of the Games on Friday, July 27.

Victoria Beckham Reunites With the Spice Girls to Announce Viva Forever!

Victoria Beckham joined the rest of the Spice Girls in London today to confirm the upcoming musical Viva Forever!, which will feature their music and debut on the West End later this year. The Spice Girls haven't all been pictured together since the end of their reunion tour in 2008 and the location of this afternoon's press conference, the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, has special historical meaning for them since it's where they shot their "Wannabe" music video in 1996. Victoria tweeted her excitement about reuniting with Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton.

The website for Viva Forever! also launched today and contains a new description of what fans can expect come Dec. 11, saying, "As one girl follows her dreams, Viva Forever! charts her journey into the world of overnight celebrity and its impact on her mother and the friends she thought she'd have forever. From London to Spain and back again, as the world judges you, it's all about who you really are and who you want to be, whatever the cost."

A Sneak Peek Into Melanie Brown's Chic Antique Nursery

Melanie Brown's pop star days are a thing of the past, and the nursery she just created for her lil one proves it.

Melanie Brown's pop star days are a thing of the past, and the nursery she just created for her lil one proves it. Prior to the birth of baby Madison earlier this month, the former Spice Girl (aka Scary Spice) and her husband Stephen Belafonte turned to LA's Little Crown Interiors — the same firm Laila Ali worked with — to design a quiet sanctuary from the chaos of daily life with Mel B's two older children, Phoenix Chi, 12, and Angel, 4.

The suite of antique silver furniture, plum crushed velvet, and ivory damask work together to create a calm oasis in the midst of that storm. Take a detailed look at the room and tell us how you think it stacks up to other celebrity nurseries we've seen!

Stars Keep the Color to a Minimum at Elton's Oscars Party

We've already had one look inside Elton John's Oscars bash, but the fashion highlights came as celebs headed inside the event. Rachel Zoe picked a YSL dress in a simple black, which looks fantastic alongside Chace Crawford's classic tux. Salma Hayek and Hayden Panettiere added a little color to the proceedings, while Victoria Beckham picked a gown from her own upcoming Fall collection.

Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and Glee's Lea Michele stuck with the black theme, each choosing dresses that also incorporated unexpected volume. Kelly Osbourne instead went with a light tone, while Heidi Klum kept things short and sweet. Jason Lewis added a little more sexiness to the proceedings, as Hollywood partied around town at the Governors Ball and Vanity Fair bash as well.
