Spice Girls Manchester Shows Announced

The Spice Girls have finally decided to break out of their self imposed London exile by announcing two shows at the Manchester MEN Arena.
I always thought it a bit strange how the girls had scheduled 17 shows at the London 02 Arena, but had failed to give any fans in the rest of the […]

Okay, forget that last one, but otherwise it seems Britain’s own Lily could be heading down the path of habitual screw up Britney Spears.
