S Club Beyatches

Well, S Club will sadly be winding up pretty soon, but before they do the UK tabs will mercilessly pull them apart. So it was no surprise today to read in the rather dodgy News Of The World about Tina and Rachel's "feud", how the others all hate Tina and call her "plank" and "space cadet" and how she wanted the boys sacked after they were caught smoking joints.
"It's been going round that me and Rachel aren't getting on. I can't really say anything," Teens is quoted as saying. "The reason we're splitting up isn't because of personality clashes, it's because everyone wants to do their own thing."
Actually, I always kinda liked Tina. She was always funny on the show. And reminds me of my friend Juliette.
Now one must wonder which S Club "secret" will emerge next. My bets: they will involve Jon (*cough*gay*cough*) and Jo (*cough*secret baby*cough*).
Best of all, their last single is called "Say Goodbye". I love it when groups do a 'goodbye' single. Like Take That when they did "Never Forget" ... but ruined it by doing "How Deep Is Your Love" afterwards. Still, I loved that too.
It wasn't the same without Robbie, it wasn't the same without Paul. (I included a pic with him in it as my own bit of revisionist history - or perhaps just as a tribute to when there were 7 of them.)
PS: S Club Juniors suck and must be stopped immediately. This 'handing over the baton' thing is just offensive.

Rejoice! Geri has boobs again!

As my exclusive (okay, not really) snap of Geri Halliwell shows, she has given up being all crazy-thin and has her boobs back. Well, thank Heavens for that. What was she going to do, sing for a living?
Oh dear.
Anyhow, in a bizarre coincidence I was looking through old tapes last night and found that before-they-were-famous doco Raw Spice. So I watched it. (I was even thinking to myself, "I wish Geri still loked like that". Now she needs the ginger hair back.) My favourite thing was their obsession with a then-in-Take That Robbie Williams. They had pictures of him on their fridge, Mel C had "Please knock I'm snogging Robbie" sign on her door ("Robbie's just jumped out the window," she explained when he failed to appear), and a Take That poster on her wall, and Geri said of her rollerblades; "I have rollerblades like Robbie from Take That - we can go rollerblading together!" And both of them may or may not have dated/slept with/other him. Too funny. Other amusing things: Geri and Mel B fighting all the time (no surprise there), Victoria having a pudgy face, English teeth (hello caps!), and acne ("She's the sexy one!" they all kept saying), and Mel B and Emma being the only ones who would eat pizza (while the other three have all had eating disorders). Plus the song "We're Gonna Make It!" or whatever it was called, was nausiating. If they'd sung it one more time I would have got up and ordered a pizza myself.
Why can't they just get back together already?

Yes, my friends, I have been gone for quite a while. This is because I have been concentrating on pilates (not really). I have actually been eating lots of chocolate and not going near computers.
However, when I have, I've decided against webby things and have been remixing instead. I can't tell you about my latest remix for fear of somebody ripping it off, but let's just say it brings my bestest popstar friend and my biggest popstar enemy together! Genius!
