The Spice Girls Have Finally Reunited and Announced They’re Officially Going on Tour

One of the most iconic girl bands of all time, the Spice Girls, have been hinting at a comeback for quite a while now. After hinting at a reunion months ago, the Spice Girls have finally confirmed a reunion tour – but in the United Kingdom. Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C will be performing in June 2019 without Victoria Beckham.

 

“Being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish them so much love and fun as they go back on tour next year.”

 

The Spice Girls are set to go on tour in 2019 across the United Kingdom, but there is a truly awful catch to this amazing news. Posh Spice stans will be incredibly upset because Victoria Beckham said she wouldn’t be joining the tour. TBH, who can blame her after they’ve turned down her microphone all those years? Victoria, who is extremely self aware about her musical capabilities, is focusing on her powerhouse fashion line instead.

In a press release shared by the group, Emma Bunton said of the announcement: ‘It’s time to spice things up all over again!!!!! I can’t wait to perform to our forever supporting fans and a whole new spice generation! Love you all!’

Beckham, who will not be joining the group for the tour, shared her well wishes for her fellow Spice Girls.

Fans started predicting a reunion when the five women shared a reunion photo in February. Beckham always maintained that it was just a “fun lunch,” but reports from TMZ stated the group got back together with their manager Simon Fuller with plans for a reunion.

“I’m not going on tour. The girls aren’t going on tour,” Beckham said during New York Fashion Week.

Beyonce recreates Toni Braxton album cover for Halloween

The star, 37, channeled Toni Braxton circa 1993 for her Halloween costume this year, which she shared with her fans on Instagram. And to no one’s surprise, the Bey-Hive is having a freak-out.

Queen Bey recreated Braxton’s self-titled album cover, Toni Braxton, by wearing a short pixie wig, a fitted white tank, light wash, high-waisted jeans, a leather jacket and chain belt which was identical to the R&B singer’s look.

 

“Your tone, your beauty, your range, and your God-given talent is treasured. Loving you always. Have a Happy Halloween my Kings and Queens.”

 

 

Pop Diva, Beyoncé is melting hearts online after she perfectly recreated the 1993 iconic cover shots of R&B legend Toni Braxton for her Halloween costume this year.

Braxton herself who couldn’t hide her delight, shared one of the photos and wrote: , “Phoni Braxton!? NEVER!!! How do you look better than me on MY album cover? I LOVE IT, Such a superstar! Thanks for the love sis! Happy Halloween.

Toni’s sister Tamar even jumped in on the praise train. The Braxton sister posted Bey’s photos on Instagram captioning them, “A legend showing another legend love, how bout that!”

“How do you look better than me on MY album cover?” wrote Braxton. “Thanks for the love sis!”

Kim Kardashian Calls Ray J a “Pathological Liar” Over Sex Claims

Kim Kardashian is tired of her ex talking about their former love life. The 38-year-old reality star took to Twitter on Sunday to laugh off new tales from her ex, singer Ray J.

 

“You cannot date a girl with a sex tape. You cannot date a reality show girl. This is going to ruin your career.”

KIM Kardashian has slammed Ray J’s claims about aspects of their relationship, including her alleged ownership of a Louis Vuitton trunk full of sex toys. In a new report from The Sun, Ray J allegedly opened up about his former relationship with the Keeping Up with the Kardashian during a night out and claimed, “Kim and I had fun times — marathon sessions. But she didn’t like getting sweaty and would stop to do her make-up if she did.”

 

The reality star may have some history with the singer, but according to her, he doesn’t have his story straight about their past relationship. The digital chatter began after The Sun published a report claiming the singer spilled on their former sex life to partygoers in London on Thursday night. Among his alleged claims were that she had a Louis Vuitton trunk of sex toys, would stop during sex to do her makeup, spent $100,000 on thongs and “her mom would call and she would nearly always take it.” E! News has reached out to Ray J’s camp for comment on the report.

An intoxicated Ray J then allegedly began exposing his ex’s sexual proclivities, including an assertion that Kardashian once owned a Louis Vuitton trove full of sex toys. Ray J also claimed that Kim Kardashian would spend in excess of $100,000 solely on G-String underwear, just to suit her fancy.

As you must be aware, news travels fast. Kim Kardashian’s response to Ray J’s inconsequential claims was to simply state the obvious: that he may very well be a pathological liar. The plausible existence of Kim’s box of trinkets did exist isn’t at all shocking. But what makes Ray J’s assertions so ridiculous is that, yes, he’s still fixated on the past – and secondly he appears to be claiming some kind ownership over her sexual awakening, which I find troubling.

In any case, Kim Kardashian is so emotionally removed from the situation that she can barely hold her laughter. One day, Ray J will gain his boarding pass, until then he’ll be making those deferral payments out to himself.

A Sit Down With DJ Orbital

English band Orbital are by far one of the most unique sounding. The group creates a slowed down, often ambient dance sound that comes as a welcome change from all the hardcore that has dominated the rave scene. Orbital also have a unique approach to live performances. Rather than having backing tracks come off DAT, as many techno bands do, everything heard is manipulated live off sequencer.

 

“I was very arrogant, I was quietly confident – but probably not that quiet – in my youth.”

 

 

How did you first get into making music?

I had a love of anything electronic. My ears used to prick up whenever I heard any. My elder brother listened to Kraftwerk and stuff like that. His tastes influenced me, especially when he played me Autobahn. The whole concept blew me away. It was the sound that really grabbed me. The synthesizer used to have a bad name for itself – god knows why it would try to emulate really instruments when it had its own voice completely, which it’s obviously found over the years.

Who are some of your greatest musical influences of all-time?

Electronic wise Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, and The Radiophonic Workshop. But other influences as well, lots of punk music like The Dead Kennedys and Crass.

Technology has evolved as the band’s career has progressed, has that changed the sound or any other element of the band?

I think instruments evolve and it always helps what you’re doing, that’s what happened in the late 1980s/early 1990s. We could suddenly afford to buy all this equipment that before was only for the likes of Kraftwerk or Jean-Michel Jarre and Yellow. Normal kids could afford it so it hit the streets, basically, and that’s where this big explosion came from, starting with electro and then house music was the big change.

Does anything bother you about electronic music now? Has anything changed that you don’t like?

Not really. Well, yeah. There is a lot of self-indulgent noodling around with no definition. The thing is, we like a good tune. And I like focus. I don’t like blurry music. Even Brian Eno, the ambient stuff, it’s very much in focus. There’s a set of clear ideas there, no fumbling about. I think in the electronic community now, there’s lot of almost-music. It’s nearly good. A bit, ooh, that’s kind of a nice idea, but that’s that. Look, there’s no tune, and those drums aren’t clever – they’re just out of time. I mean, there’s a lot of people experimenting with time signatures, and don’t get me wrong, if people enjoy listening to it, great. But some experiments don’t work, that’s all I’m saying.

Do you have any pre-show habits or rituals?

For an hour before the gig I can’t talk to anyone. Well I can, but I’m not listening to what they’re saying or what I’m saying. I just nod. I’ll go and watch a band if I can, I like that mirror thing of feeling what it’s like to be in the audience, to get a real feeling of the other side. I also nearly always go on stage when the crew are doing the changeover because I like to get a feel for the stage so I’ll sneak on, minding my own business and maybe tune a synth or something. The other thing I’ve started doing recently, because I’ve always liked to stretch a bit or run on the spot before a gig, is morris dancing. So I practice my Bledington morris dancing, and that has become a ritual now; I feel a bit weird if I haven’t managed to do it. So if anyone sees me doing something slightly strange that makes me look like I’m picking up a bucket with my foot then that’s what it is.

Which has been your favorite gig?

They were honestly all great. I really loved wandering around Blue Dot because it was a big science fair. I brought my sixteen-year-old daughter.

Is it still important to you to be relevant now?

Yes, but we don’t think of it that way. Now just feels like a long straight line from then. Thing is, you’re always the centre of your own field, whatever you’re doing. So, as a band, this is the most important thing happening in the world tonight – it’s all just a matter of perspective.

What kind of musical legacy has the nineties dance scene left on British culture?

Have you heard Lady Gaga?! Hello? You couldn’t get much bigger than Calvin Harris and EDM has become American pop. That’s the legacy of nineties dance music.

Miley Cyrus teams up with Madonna for MTV Unplugged performance

Headline magnets Miley Cyrus and Madonna, donning Western-inspired getup, shared the stage this week for Cyrus’ MTV Unplugged, which aired Wednesday night. The two performed a mashup of Madonna’s “Don’t Tell Me” and Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop.”

 

“It sounds super-lame, but as a pop star it’s pretty cool performing with Madonna…Today was one of those days that it was really easy to get out of bed.”

 

 

For many of us, last night’s MTV Unplugged might have been the longest continuous chunk of time we’ve ever spent with Miley Cyrus.

Within the very first few minutes, we had Miley popping the Miley tongue as she backed up on a couple of helpless saps in a horse outfit. A couple minutes later, a midget dressed as Miley came out, and the two, briefly, became a crotch-grabbing power couple. Not long after, she turned her attention back to the horse: Crooning “Get It Right,” she bit her lip, batted her eyelids, petted its head, and, finally, consummated her forbidden flirting by climbing on top for a ride.

She bantered, in her, um, inimitable tone, and reminded us all that Vanessa Bayer is a prphet; she sang quite well, ably rocking her own ballad “Adore You” and Parton’s all-time classic “Jolene.” Finally came the surprise that Twitter already told you was happening: Good lord … that’s Madonna’s music!

 

“Well, I can’t perform when I’m stoned. That’s one thing to complain I guess,” Miley teased before impersonating Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bayer’s cheeky impression of her, capping off the unforgettable duet by confirming it was “pretty cool.”
