Geri Halliwell
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: Watford, 06 August 2020
- Associated with: Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham
Bluebell’s 34-year-old mum wore a blue mini-dress whilst the 11-month-old herself was dressed in a traditional white smock gown.
Posh - who is the little girl’s godmother - arrived without husband David, and looked delighted to see her former singing pals.
Guest Lady Isabella Hervey told the Sun: "It was good to see the other girls back together and getting on so well. Geri looked stunning."
Melanie Brown, who recently gave birth to her second child and Bluebell’s father screenwriter Sacha Gervasi were absent from the party.
The 90-minute ceremony apparently included music by 12 gospel singers and afterwards guests were whisked away to a private location - said to be Geri’s home.
Geri becomes children’s author - April 13 2007
Pop star Geri Halliwell has announced a new career - as a children’s author.
The former Spice Girl, 34, says she began putting pen to paper when she became pregnant with her daughter Bluebell Madonna, now 11 months old.
She says that creating the book’s heroine, nine-year-old Ugenia Lavender - who like Bluebell takes part of her name from a plant - was "like a rebirth".
Geri cites her literary influences as greats like CS Lewis, Enid Blyton and Oscar Wilde and adds of her books: "There is a positive message in there, but it tastes like chocolate not cabbage."
The UN Goodwill Ambassador, who recently announced she was quitting the pop world, was signed up by Macmillan Children’s Books after calling the managing director of the publishing house out of the blue.
Geri, who has published two autobiographies, also announced a new song to accompany the series.
She says: "One of the greatest gifts in life is actually to love what you do. For me, writing Ugenia Lavender is one of them."
Geri, who will also be reading audio editions of her books, said: "Writing for me feels like home. I’ve always written - at school I loved writing stories and creating mini-worlds where anything can happen.
"As a Spice Girl I wrote lyrics for many of our hits and have continued to do so in my solo career."
The six books in the series, featuring illustrations by Rian Hughes, will be published in hardback, one a month, from May to October next year.
eri’s life of luxury - Mar 7 2007
Geri Halliwell apparently enjoys an A-list life of luxury away from the public eye - and has a huge entourage at her every beck and call.
It seems the redhead, who is mum to 10-month-old Bluebell, employs a shopper, a cook, a nanny, and even a male PA - and has her mum and sister nearby to help out as well.
A source told Closer magazine: "Geri knows she’s lucky that she barely has to lift a finger. She has everything an A-list celebrity could want.
"She has a personal shopper who she consults over her wardrobe, as well as the services of a cook and a PA."
It means the 34-year-old can concentrate on her new project - which is thought to be a Surprise Surprise-style TV show.
But it appears that Geri’s impressive team may not always be quite enough for the star, as the insider claims she lets staff know if something isn’t done right.
However, the source added: "But her staff are very loyal to her - and they know their boss has high standards."
Geri hopes for another child? - Feb 28 2007
Despite being single, Geri Halliwell is apparently keen to have another baby within two years.
The 34-year-old is loving motherhood since giving birth to daughter Bluebell Madonna last May.

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!
