It has not yet been confirmed whether Harry left a number one or a number two for Tony. A nation must know!
Darius 4 Geri - Nov 04
Heartthrob Darius has been on several dates with Geri Halliwell. She’s not his usual type but according to one of his friends Darius and Geri have been getting very cosy. The musical pair have reportedly been on several dates and the ex Spice Girl is apparently smitten, calling Darius the man of her dreams after they were spotted together at the Tickled Pink charity show earlier this month. However Darius has not commented on the rumours and, call us cynical, but isn’t it funny how Geri always gets a newsworthy boyfriend every time she has a new album in the pipeline?

Geri has surgery - April 04
Geri Halliwell has had throat surgery to get her singing voice back.
The singer had two ’nodules’ removed from her throat in a potentially dangerous operation which fortunately has been successful. The growths which are quite common amongst singers could have ruined her singing career if they had not been removed. Geri was told by her doctor that there was no way she could have carried on recording her new album without the operation.
The perils of dieting - 28/05/03
Geri Halliwell has come to her senses and has admitted that her famously obsessive diet and fitness regime ruined her health.
The ex-Spice Girl has revealed in an updated version of her autobiography Just For The Record that her body became so thin that she stopped having periods.
The tiny star feared that she would never be able to have children, she writes: "My menstrual cycle had disappeared, unsurprisingly with the weight loss and stress. But the thought of not being able to have children really was a good wake-up call for me."

In the 1990s Geri became one fifth of the worlds biggest girl band and has never looked back. Along with Mel B, Emma, Mel C and Victoria, she scored some of the biggest hits of the decade, made a feature film and raked in the cash through sponsorship deals. But in May ’98 Geri made the shock announcement that she was to leave the band to persue a solo career.
She sold her Spice clothes to raise more than $200,000 for a cancer charity, journeyed to Uganda for Comic Relief, was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador by the United Nations, and even got to sing "Happy Birthday" to the future king of England, Prince Charles.
Nearly a year after her departure from the Spice Girls, Halliwell released her debut solo album, Schizophonic, whose sound is a self-described cross between "Julie Andrews and Johnny Rotten." The album, released on Capitol Records, contained Halliwell’s first single, "Look at Me." which went to number 2 in the charts. She followed up the success of Schizophonic with Scream If You Want To Go Faster in 2001. After going solo, Geri moved to LA, formed an unlikely close relationship with George Michael and told all to the press about her eating disorders after losing an incredible amount of weight and releasing two yoga videos.
Geri is now back in the UK, working on new material and a reality TV show which will follow the format of The Osbournes. She’s also back to her old busty ginger self!
