Victoria Beckham Knows Nothing About Spice Girls Reunion

Posted: 05 Oct 2009 07:24 PM PDT

We’ve so far had two Spice Girls teasing us with details of a new Spice Girls reunion. Yes, a new one, even though the first one only happened two years ago and ended rather badly. But while Mel B and Geri Halliwell seem to be on the inside of planning this latest comeback, Victoria Beckham clearly isn’t.

September saw Mel B tweet about the possibility of the Spice Girls getting back together (again) after she had a meal with Geri, Emma Bunton, and Mel C. Then Halliwell went on television and spoke about how it could happen, but refused to give details. Beckham wasn’t at the meal and it seems no one has yet asked/told her about a possible reunion.

Beckham told Hello! magazine:

“I haven’t been told anything about a reunion! No-one’s asked me to be part of anything like that, and I’m just so busy at the moment. I’m very hands-on with designing and I’m loving every minute of it. Even though I’ve just shown one dress collection, we’re already working on next season’s designs.”

So, has Victoria been left out on purpose, or are the rest of the girls waiting until their plans are more concrete before they approach her with them? Either or I’m not too sure whether Beckham would even be interested in rejoining the Spice Girls. She hardly needs the money and unlike the others she seems to have moved on.

A Spice Girls Reunion without Victoria perhaps?

Glenn Beck Loves Muse, Muse Reject His Endorsement

Posted: 05 Oct 2009 12:00 PM PDT

Muse are a brilliant, life-affirming, innovative, forward-thinking British band. Glenn Beck is an uninspiring, morbid, doom-mongering, backwards-thinking American commentator. So hardly a match made in Heaven. You would think. But Glenn Beck recently came out as a fan of Muse and their new album, The Resistance. Not that Muse were very happy about his endorsement.

On his September 16 radio show, Glenn Beck spent a couple of minutes waxing lyrical about Muse and The Resistance. He drew comparisons between the lyrics and the novel 1984, which actually isn’t a bad comparison to make. But he didn’t stop there.

As is Beck’s way, he took it all a little too far and presumed that Muse agreed with his scare tactics over liberal politicians and how they are running the world into the ground. While I don’t profess to know Muse’s political views, I’m guessing they’re less extreme than Beck’s are.

Which is, I’m guessing, why a Muse representative contacted the show to ask if Beck would retract his ringing endorsement of the band and the album.

Beck said:

“These guys are brilliant, they know the time that we live in. They are libertarians from England. All of the lyrics are dead on, on what’s coming our way. [The new album is] absolutely fantastic [with its warnings of a] one world government.”

“They would like me to retract my endorsement. My apologies to Muse for saying that I like them. I didn’t mean to destroy all their credibility and all their coolness. It’s an awful album and you should never go out and buy it.”

The Resistance is not an awful album and you should definitely go out and buy it. However, it isn’t necessarily the right album for Beck supporters. There’s no mention of President Obama on there or of pretty much any of the things Beck spends his life banging on about.
