Scary is to front a new talent show called X-Factor, produced by Cowell’s production company SiCo. Apparently the show will "put Pop Idol in the shade". The show will follow a Battle of the Bands format and the panel will "use their experience and knowledge to guide the acts rather than just slag them off". A friend of Mel’s said "There’ll be no fat birds getting their knockers out. It’ll be class all the way for Mel". Glad to hear it.

Re-visiting the heady days of ’spice’. - 17/02/03
Leeds lass Mel B and the rest of The Spice girls are on the brink of reforming - maybe they can re-package girl power as ’woman authority’ - but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

Apparently The Spice Girls are meeting up for a reunion dinner to discuss talks of a possible come back, including Geri Halliwell. Never mind the fact that she buried her alter ego ’Ginger’ - who in truth was a far more scary creation than anything that Mel B ever did.

The girls are now all in their late twenties and since the Spice Girls have been known for a famous footballing husband, weight disorders, yoga, being dropped by their record labels and having a few babies / hits - so can they still pull off a possible last ’Scary’ stage outing? Although a Greatest Hits album would probably still go down a treat
