RODNEY JERKINS SPEAKS ABOUT SG ALBUM IN INTERVIEW
Rodney Jerkins, one of the main producers on the Spice Girls' third album, was recently interviewed by Black Beat Magazine(US), and there were some bits about Spice Girls:
Magazine: What in the world are you doing with the Spice Girls?!!
Rodney: Aww man, it came out phenomenal! I originally did three songs, and then they wanted me to do more songs. Believe it or not, I think people are gonna be shocked at how good they sound.
Magazine: You got them singin'?
Rodney: Yeah, they sound good. I mean, they sound like the Spice Girls, you know it's them. With the songs that I did, I wanted to give a mixture. I wanted to do one that was strictly Darkchild and make you dance. So I did something like that. Then I wanted to do something on their tip, something pop and uptempo. Something that I haven't done, that can take me to another level, that can make Backstreet Boys and N'Sync call.
MEL B GETS E.M.M.A. AWARD
Mel B has picked up a top award at the ceremony to celebrate ethnic minority excellence. The Spice Girl won "Public Figure Of The Year" award at the Ethnic Multicultural Media Awards (EMMAs) set in London's Royal Lancaster Hotel last night. Mel B won the award for her tireless work promoting Aids awareness among young people.
Mel is patron of Blackliners, a London-based charity providing sexual health and HIV support to people of Asian, African, and Caribbean origin.
VICTORIA WORRIES ABOUT BEING TOO THIN
Victoria Adams has admitted that a doctor told her she was one and a half stones (9.5kg) underweight for her height.
"Posh Spice", who is married to England and Manchester United soccer star David Beckham, also said she cried when she saw pictures of herself looking painfully thin.
Victoria said she sought help after becoming paranoid about her weight. She was accused of setting a bad example to teenage girls prone to the eating disorder anorexia.
Adams told the showbusiness magazine, Heat, which is published on Thursday, that she lost weight after giving birth to Brooklyn in February last year.
"There are pictures from that time that I looked at and cried -- I did look bloody awful.
"I went to the doctors and got completely checked out -- every blood test under the sun. They just said it's something that can happen after a baby.
"But I was upset about how I looked. I'd never looked like that before -- I was nine and a half stone (60.5kg) before I was pregnant."
NEXT SG SINGLE: LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY
Spice Girl Mel C has tipped new ballad 'Let Love Lead The Way' to be their comeback single in August.
Speaking about 'Let Love Lead The Way' to Heat Magazine, Mel C said, 'It's just about love conquering all, really. Highs and lows, happy times and sad times - it's about life'.
She also assured fans of the quality of their new material.
'People keep expecting rubbish from the Spice Girls but the Spice Girls are never gonna give rubbish' she added.
The new album is currently being mixed by R'n' B legend Rodney Jerkins and is set for a September release.
VICTORIA RECIEVES ANOTHER DEATH THREAT
Posh Spice Victoria Beckham has recieved another death threat. This threat was sent via regular mail like previous ones. It included a picture of Victoria and her husband David cut out from popular London Tabloid The Mirror. The picture was manipulated showing a bullet flying toward Victoria's head as well as blood pouring from her head. Beside the picture is a message that says: "You ??????? whore. You are going to get whats coming to you." This is just after the Beckham family returned from vacation in Florence on Wednesday. Victoria immediately contacted police. Security has been increased around the Beckham's and their families' homes. Detectives are now carrying out forensic tests on the letter and envelope, which was posted from the Stockport area of Greater Manchester.
The photograph, which police said had been mailed some time ago, is only the latest threat to one of Britain's most high-profile couples.
Beckham's parents earlier this year received a doctored picture showing baby Brooklyn bleeding from a bullet wound, and police foiled a plot to kidnap Adams and her son for a one million pound ransom.
Last December, British newspapers reported that Adams floored a man outside a London department store who lunged at Brooklyn.
