Geri Halliwell
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: Watford, 06 August 2020
- Associated with: Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham
Not only is it rumoured that she made the sacrilegious sin of ’demanding’ that she be given free membership due to the simple fact that she’s famous, she then went onto behave in a manner which could only be appropriated to a spoilt little girl.
Following her inability to ’skank’ a free membership at Notting Hill, it is rumoured that Geri took herself off to the Kensington branch of Holmes Place where she proceeded to introduce her mutt Harry to the gym facilities, feeding him muffins in the restaurant while she brushed her teeth and spat the residue onto her plate.
Not stopping there it has been alleged that after forcing the club to allow her personal trainer within the confines of the gym, he proceeded to teach her some rather dodgy moves which would not have been approved by a professional establishment. Following a few harsh words from the management team, Geri has been kicked out of Holmes Place for good - it seems that Harry is her only friend at the moment and surely that’s only because he can’t talk.
Pretty Woman Geri 10/11/01
Geri certainly seems to be going up in the world lately. What with dating the millionaire Coffee Republic founder Bobby Hashemi and moving in with acclaimed interior designer Nina Campbell. She is now rumoured to be enrolled in Epsom Polo Club for an intensive course in the sport (Bobby is an enthusiast) - it’s all sounding rather pretty woman to me.
Geri’s up and out 24/10/01
The hunt for a new house is now at an end for Geri, she has eventually found her perfect home in central London (exact location undisclosed) with views of the Thames (my guess is that it’s somewhere like Butlers Wharf!). Following the break in at her Notting Hill home and the theft of ?80,000 worth of personal posessions, our Geri has been on the look out for something a little less public and more secure. So bye bye Geri can’t say I’m gonna miss you...
Geri Springer style confession 09/10/01
Yaaaaaaawn.... oh god sorry must have dropped off, Geri does it to me every time. I have to admit her presence in the press has become something of a sedative to many of us in the office - but here goes anyway.
Geri Halliwell has managed to worm her way back into the papers this week with a confession, which can only send the world into immense shock (yawn....) Unfortunately, Ms Halliwell feels the need to live her life Jerry Springer style and has publicly apologised for causing Victoria Beckham’s eating disorders (ah-huh - we were led to believe by VB’s PR agency that she didn’t have any). Anyway so Geri apologises via the national press and receives some more headlines which she undoubtedly needs coz her music career ain’t gonna get her any.
Geri Heads For Millionaires Row - 11/09/01
Geri Halliwell has her sight set on a house on Kensington Palace Gardens. Apparently she has visited the property four times and told the Iranian owners, ’I want to live here’. The former Spice Girl hasn’t returned to her last Notting Hill residence since it was burgled six months ago. Since then she has taken to living out of her designer suitcases in the Lanesborough Hotel.
The show must go on - 26/09/01
Geri and Steps are to press on with their Middle East gig, despite the threats of the situation escalating even further there. The show was planned as light relief for British soldiers and their families stationed in Oman. Despite the threat of conflict the stars are still prepared to perform. A source close to Geri told us "Geri is still keen to go out there and support the soldiers. She is obviously concerned about the situation and this is a brilliant way of keeping morale up".

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!
