Geri leaving UK for a man - 16/08/02
Geri Halliwell is following in Robbie Williams’ footstep by setting up home in the States. The ex- Spice Girl is said to be leaving Britain so that she can spend more time with her millionaire boyfriend, Damian Warner.

The couple met when they were both attending Cottonwood rehabilitation clinic in Tuscon, Arizona, where Geri was being treated for an eating disorder and Damian was battling against drug addiction.

Geri is currently being filmed around the country as a judge on Pop Stars: The Rivals. Geri’s fellow judges have revealed that Geri has told them that she will be based in Los Angeles from the beginning of next year.

Geri lands the L’Oreal contract - 21/02/02
Our local media hungry, ex-singer, yoga fanatic, addictive personality, Ms Geri Halliwell has landed herself a nice fat deal with L’Oreal. This is probably the biggest, fattest contract that has come within a five mile radius of our little ginger princess since her heady days with the Spice Girls.

Since the rather sad launch of her ’ahem’ solo career, the British public has seen and read more about this ladies private life than any other public figure in the entire history of stardom.

So it comes as a sickening shock that Ms Halliwell is due to publish yet another autobiography, only 3 years on since the original.

Biography

Born Geraldine Estelle Halliwell on 6th August 1972 in Watford, London, Geri Halliwell is best known as Ginger Spice but in fact started her career long before she joined the Spice Girls - working as a topless prize girl on Turkish TV.

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!
