The Spice Girls' Diet and Fitness Secrets

If you wannabe as fit as a Spice Girl (heh! ... Oh, guys, it has been a very long week), you'll be interested to find out exactly what the fantastic five eat and do to stay in shape...

The poshest of the Spices Victoria Beckham keeps her energy levels up with healthy snacks, like fresh fruit, and stays hydrated with coconut water. 

Geri Halliwell has reportedly snipped the string on her history of yo-yo dieting and reportedly "feels better than ever," staying in shape with plenty of yoga and "healthy eating." Meanwhile, Emma Bunton works out three times a week, usually running on a treadmill.

US Weekly's diet and exercise report on the ever-sporty Melanie Chisholm: she feels "more feminine than ever before." So I'm not sure what that means. But as of last year, she was training hard to compete in a triathlon, doing total-body circuits that included step jumps and declined bench press-ups--and, like Victoria, plenty of coconut water. After having baby Harper, she also reportedly ran six days a week and had a "strenuous exercise regime" under star trainer Tracy Anderson.

Mel B does one- to two-hour treadmill workouts and likes to go for hikes--complementing her workouts with sessions of 600 sit-ups. She told People: "I’ve always been obsessed with doing abs. I change positions every 10 reps. I like how quickly--if you stick to it--you can see results.”

Can't Imagine Life Getting Better Than The Spice Girls Reuniting + Prince Harry Whistling, And Other Thoughts On the Closing Ceremonies

We have to face it--the London Olympics is officially over. But at least they went out with a bang--a British-fabulous bang, one that got about ten songs firmly stuck in my head. (Quite the mashup going on in there right now.) More on that in a second.
But first, some of my favorite visuals from the spectacular Olympic sendoff, which really lived up to the excellent athletics that came before it.
Team USA's entrance was a blizzard of berets: check out Missy Franklin, Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux.

One of the first big musical acts was One Direction--whose hair was going in many directions.

KATE MOSS OMG KATE MOSS! OK, I never expected to see her. Amazing. All the models were fab, of course, but there's only one Kate.

Russell Brand as Willy Wonka--now that's inspired casting. And no, Hollywood, you shouldn't take that to mean you should remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory again. DON'T YOU DARE.

Um, Fatboy Slim was there, and "Rockafeller Skank" was played, and what happened next was an amazing souped-up version of the She's All That prom scene--you know every female U.S. athlete of a certain age was thinking it--and I could hardly take it.

Jessie J gets the gold medal for gutsiest outfit--and by the way, good thing the Beauty gals warned me about her new look, or I wouldn't have known it was her.

OK, let's get to the Spice Girls. You can watch the video here, but I'm just going to let the images speak for themselves...

And let London mayor Boris Johnson's dancing speak for what's in my heart.

Ridiculously wonderful image ahead: PRINCE HARRY SANG AND WHISTLED to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life."

And a beautiful parting shot that'll stay with me for a while... the faces of the Brazilian athletes, watching as the Olympic flag was officially handed off to Rio de Janeiro.

See you in 2016, world.

It's Official: The Spice Girls Are Performing at the Olympics!

know how much you lovelies adore the Spice Girls, so I'm so freakin' excited to tell you that they'll definitely be spicing up our lives (and the 2012 Summer Olympics) at the closing ceremony on August 12!

But wait... there's more!

The news gets even better--according to Us Weekly, they're set to perform their 1996 fan favorite "Wannabe" and all FIVE of the ladies will be there. That means Ginger (Geri Halliwell), Baby (Emma Bunton), Sporty (Melanie Chisholm), Scary (Melanie Brown), and Posh (Victoria Beckham)! George Michael, The Who, and Jessie J are also set to perform, but honestly, who cares when you have news like this?
Seriously, this is happening:

Viva Forever!



CORRECTION: That headline is factually wrong, because Posh can't physically give a shit. Posh had her entire digestive system removed, because it's not like she uses it anyway and it was getting in the way of her having a waist smaller than a grasshopper's peen shaft. So I should've wrote: Posh Could Give A Queef.


So, Scary Spice, Sporty Spice, Ginger Spice, Baby Spice and Tall Olsen Spice all gathered in front of the steps where they zig-a-zig-ah-ed in the Wannabe video 16 years ago to officially announce the Spice Girls musical. Viva Forever! will open at the Piccadilly Theater in London's West End this December.


Here's Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Baby being all excited about getting a check while trying to ignore the luxury-wrapped skinny black cloud of poutiness next to them:
