Spice Girls Learn That Power Is Money
YOU would think it was the bloody Beatles who were re-uniting what with all the hype and tales of amazing comebacks. Yet, it’s only the Spice Girls, those espousers of Girl Power-fuelled catchphrase feminism.
Still, one shouldn’t underestimate the all-consuming power of a hype machine, and now, the fab five – Victoria, Geri, Emma and Mels B and C – are set to pocket a massive £25million from a two-hour TV special set to air in late September.
The documentary will coincide with their much-awaited (it says here) reunion world tour and will feature the girls reminiscing about their career as well as, wait for it, showing footage of their first-ever rehearsals. Wow.
According to a “source close to the girls”: “There have been ongoing discussions about doing a documentary looking back at the beginning, the height of Spicemania and what happened towards the end. It will be full-on nostalgia and a look back at living through those amazing years.”
Spice guru and professional turd polisher, Simon Fuller, will net around £40million for the project.
Money Power!
