Victoria Beckham Takes On Wedding Planner Role For Melanie C

Victoria Beckham of Spice Girls

The Daily Star reports Melanie Chisholm has enlisted former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham to help plan her wedding to her partner of six years, Thomas Starr. Posh has since contacted Roberto Cavalli about the wedding dress. “Mel and Victoria have become very close since the Spice Girls reunited last year,” a source told the British tabloid. “And she knows that Victoria has the contacts and the ideas to make her big day extra special.”

Meanwhile, Mel C’s other bandmates have felt a bit left out. “Mel doesn’t feel close enough to the band to ask them to be bridesmaids or maids of honor,” the insider added. “So she and Victoria have decided all the girls should be invited as guests, rather than giving them special roles.”

Melanie Chisholm And Tom Starr Expecting First Child

Hi Everyone
Some Happy News!
Well, I can now announce that Tom and I are expecting a baby and we are very happy.

As I’m sure you’ll understand we needed time to wait for results and tell our families. Thank you for all your kindness, good wishes and support (even if it was based on speculation!).

You all know how much I value my privacy so I’m sure I can rely on you to respect that, particularly at this time.

I will be taking it easy but am also excited to start writing for the fifth album. I’ll need some time off to be a mum but, before you know it, we’ll be back.

Also check back on the site over the next week or so - Uncles Paul, Greg, Nick, Scott, Vinnie (and me) are planning a UK gig somewhere ‘up north’ for a great cause (rocking out is not easy at the moment so it’ll be a full band acoustic gig).

Love Melanie xx

Melanie Chisholm of Spice Girls

AOL Music Canada caught up with Melanie Chisholm for a Q&A, where she discussed the Spice Girls reunion. “When we finally decided, and we wanted to see what people’s feelings were about us getting back together and doing some shows, the reaction was incredible,” Mel C said. “We’d originally decided to tour for two months, but the demand was so great, especially at home in England, and in Canada and America, that it’s taken us really ’til the end of this month, and that was our limit because everybody has other commitments. We could keep going. We really could, so it’s been crazy. We’re all really grateful for the support we’ve received.” The full story at music.aol.ca has since been removed.
