Posh, Sporty, Baby and Ginger Spices were out en masse and in black and white to support their girl Scary at her finale performance for Dancing with the Stars last night. Girl Power, eh? All five of the girls have been rehearsing their tails off for their impending reunion tour, but Mel B must be the most stage ready after these weeks of televised dancing. She's wowed the judges the whole time and last night was no exception — with her girls cheering loud from the front row she and her partner got the highest score of the night, 55 out of 60, beating out Helio Castroneves (54 points) and Marie Osmond (46 points). The winner will be announced tonight, so hopefully, Victoria had her whole fleet of boys hitting the speed dial voting for Mel. Who do you think should win? We all know she's got her couples moves down, but after tonight it's back to group choreography to wow all their fans.
Britney Spears looked a little somber (and no, she's not topless, just an off the shoulder shirt) driving into her current home, the Four Seasons, in LA last night. Yesterday was big for Brit's legal team — they were granted their continuance until January in her driving case (though almost 80% of you think she should be on probation) and they worked out the Christmas custody details with Kevin's lawyer. Britney will apparently be getting the boys for the holiday since Kevin got them for Thanksgiving dinner, seems fair. Other issues involving the DCFS were discussed, but not disclosed, and the next hearing is scheduled for January 23. I'm sure we'll see them in court before then. Elsewhere in Britney news, she's supposedly shooting her video for "Piece of Me" today between the hours of noon and 2, with 15 backup dancers and a body double. After the drama of her last shoot, hopefully, this one goes better.
David Beckham did his best to turn his time in Sydney into a little vacation yesterday, relaxing on a yacht and signing autographs for fans before his big game with the Galaxy. Becks looks happy to be fulfilling his duties around the world, but spending all this time away from his family gets tough. Yesterday he stopped by This Morning, an ITV talk show where he couldn't help but gush about his adorable boys. Here are highlights:
On the boys' accents:
"They sound as if they are from London and that is how I want them to sound, but they are getting little parts of an American accent."
On taking the boys to see the Spice Girls:
"Victoria says, 'All our boys know what daddy does, he plays football in front of all these people, but they have never seen what mummy used to do' and so that was one of the reasons why she wanted to do it and it will be amazing, all the boys are going to love it.
On the family's Christmas plans:
"We are going to be back in England, I love London, I love being back in England, I love being back in London, it is where I am from and where Victoria is from and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without being back here."
As much as we love having the Beckhams here in the states, it seems as if it's never going to be a place they call home. The good news is America is rubbing off on them a little as David revealed that his son Romeo is using words like "awesome" and is the performer of the family even dubbing him the next Justin Timberlake. Cute - we can envision it now!
As if to show the world that the rumors of baby shower photo betrayal are false, Nicole Richie met for a friendly (and peaceful, if you can ever call it that with the paparazzi) lunch with Paris and Nicky Hilton at Forte in LA yesterday. Nicole is so big these days (and those photographers can get some pretty great perspectives)! Between the baby showers and mom-to-be lunching, it looks like Miss Paris is jockeying for that coveted godmother position. Let's just hope that if Nicole and Joel choose her, they don't let the heiress pass her fashion sense (or, um, habits) along to their precious little one.
Suri Cruise must have heard the Spice Girls first two reunion shows were a success, because she couldn't resist stopping by their rehearsal over the weekend. Tom, Katie and little Suri popped in to wish their friend Victoria and all the other SGs luck on their tour and were lucky enough to get an impromptu performance. Victoria said, "David and I are great friends with Tom and Katie...It was lovely of them to come down to rehearsals, a really nice surprise. Katie has told me before that she used to be a big Spice fan so it was great for her to meet the other girls.” Suri even showed off some dance moves (no doubt inherited from dad, ha).
In other Spice Girls news, a fake email went out this weekend claiming that they canceled their Buenos Aires show due to such a high demand in the US and UK. The girls quickly updated their website reassuring fans that this is not the case. Their tour officially kicks off Dec 2!
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
