Emma Bunton: Update and Pictures

Emma Bunton celebrates her birthday in a few days (she will be 33 on Jan 21st), and is looking radiant as she glowed at the launch of the Hovis Wholemeal Challenge earlier this week as she encouraged us to switch from white to brown bread.

Baby Spice also told the media that she would like to do more acting roles saying, "It feels really comfortable and yet it's a real challenge as it's something different." Both Emma and Mel B have expressed interest in working on X Factor in the future, but we'll have to wait and see what happens there.

Spice Girls In Concert - O2 Pictures

Going to see the Spice Girls after all these years, was a dream come true for me. They were the only group I'd really ever wanted to see and this weekend it became a reality as "The Return of the Spice Girls" Tour hit the UK. Who would have thought the Spice Girls would ever tour again? Seeing them perform on stage for two nights was fantastic, at times it was hard to believe that the five women on stage were indeed THE Spice Girls.

The crowds really got into the spirit of the occasion and were cheering from start to finish and it was rather interesting how loud they became every time Posh sang her lines. Maybe it is because she has the highest profile but it was all very spontaneous and added to the night. Below are a selection of pictures from the weekend, you can see about 120 over in my Facebook profile.
