NOVO RECORDE PARA AS SPICE GIRLS + VÍDEO.
No dia 01/10/2007, as Spice Girls estabeleceram mais um recorde: Venda para um show em 38 segundos.
Fans snap up Spice Girls tickets .
London's Spice Girls reunion concert has sold out in 38 seconds after fans were notified tickets had gone on sale, the show's promoters have claimed. More than one million people in the UK registered for the concert, which takes place on 15 December at the O2 arena.
"It was a dramatic moment - the sales went live and there was a huge surge as fans bombarded the lines," said Ticketmaster's boss Chris Edmonds.
Three more London dates have been added to the tour. Tickets cost £55-75.
The shows will take place on 16 and 18 December 2007, and 2 January 2008.
Tickets for the additional dates are currently being sold to fans, who were alerted to the sales by text and e-mail.
And tickets for the 15 December gig are already appearing on eBay - with one pair advertised at £900.
The band's world tour kicks off in Canada on 2 December, and will visit San Jose, Shanghai and Cape Town.
The full line-up has not performed on stage since Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell quit in May 1998.
The reunion concerts have been put together by Simon Fuller, whose 19 company masterminded the group's global success more than a decade ago.
Under his guidance, the five-piece notched up a string of hits - including Wannabe and 2 Become 1 - while also capitalising on their fame with a stream of sponsorship deals.
Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Adams and Geri Halliwell quickly became household names - although they were better known as Baby, Scary, Sporty, Posh and Ginger.
They sold more than 55 million records around the world, and even starred in a film, Spice World.
Halliwell quit in 1998 citing "differences", leaving the band to complete a sold-out world tour as a foursome.
Since 2001 each member has since pursued solo careers with varying degrees of success, while Posh Spice has become better known as fashion icon Victoria Beckham.

Os ingressos para o primeiro show das Spice Girls em Londres em sua turnê de "volta", no dia 15 de dezembro, acabaram em 38 segundos.
De acordo com a rede BBC, os fãs congestionaram as linhas telefônicas da Ticketmaster para garantir seu lugar na platéia do espetáculo, que acontece no O2 Arena.
Para estar habilitado a comprar o ingresso, o fã precisava fazer um cadastro anterior no site oficial da banda.

Devido à procura, foram agendados outros três shows na cidade. Londres terá shows também no dia 16 e 18 de dezembro, além de 2 de janeiro de 2008. Os ingressos custam entre 55 e 75 libras.
Ingressos para os shows extra já estão sendo vendidos aos fãs, que souberam do início das vendas por SMS e e-mail.

NOVO SINGLE + ENTREVISTAS.
NOVO SINGLE + ENTREVISTAS.
New single called Headlines - New single - 19th November
Geri CONFIRMS 15 tracks on Greatest Hits!!!
Geri Halliwell has let slip the group's comeback single will be a ballad called 'Headlines', she said the band reforming was like being given a second chance.
She also compared the Spice Girls' reunion to friends who were now a little older and wiser getting back together and realising school was better than they remembered.
The original Ginger Spice, 35, only hinted at past rifts between the five members of the group when she conceded it was difficult to balance work with friendship.
And she described their tour selling out in just 38 seconds earlier this week as "shocking", but promised fans they would have a night to remember at the shows later this year.
She told GMTV: "It is different. The only way I can describe it is like when you look back on your school days. When you are at school, sometimes you think 'oh God' but you look back and think actually, that was so much fun, it was a laugh with your schoolmates.
"It's getting to revisit something, a little bit older, a little bit wiser."
She added: "It's so amazing. It is like waking up and you get a second chance to be something that is so enjoyable."
Of their sell-out tour, she said: "It is kind of shocking. 38 seconds, it's pretty amazing. I cannot quite believe it."
Halliwell, who is now a mother of one, also revealed that the new single, which she described as "absolutely amazing", was finished.
She said: "Emma and I initially worked on it with the original writers we used to collaborate with and then the other girls chipped in later on, adding lyrics.
"Its a Spice Girl classic. We are so proud of it. We started putting words down before we even had the finalised yes from everyone.
"It was kind of like a prayer - when you kind of put the footwork in hoping that it will happen - so it is a really special song, it's kind of magical... It's a big love song."
The group's worldwide comeback tour, which starts in Canada on December 2, will be the first time the group have appeared as a five since Halliwell left the band in 1998.
She said today that it was hard to "juggle that balance" between work and friendship, saying: "It's fantastic hanging with girls you really like but there are pressures of work to go with it so it's about finding that balance. It's like planning a wedding..."
Like Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton are now all mothers and she said this had "really bonded" the group.
She said: "It is such a gift to be a mother. I understand what the others go through because it's hard. It's amazing, the love you feel for your child."
Fans will be given a second chance to get their hands on tickets for the tour when phone lines are opened up tomorrow for two new dates added to the London leg.
Halliwell promised: "It is going to be amazing. It's going to be like a piece of theatre. It has got a story to it. It is really creative." And she scotched the idea that it will make the group a fortune, saying: "People think you are going to be loaded but you have to do about 99 dates to break even by the time you have paid for the huge screen and all of those things.
"This reunion is about the fans and us celebrating the past. It's more about that."
The new Spice Girls album is out on November 12 and the single will be released a week later.
FOLHA ONLINE:
05/10/2007 - 16h18 Grupo Spice Girls lança música em novembro.
da Efe, em Londres
Após sete anos sem gravar uma música nova, o grupo Spice Girls lançará em novembro o single "Headlines".
A novidade foi anunciada por Geri Halliwell, a Ginger Spice, durante uma entrevista concedida à emissora "ITV".
"É uma clássica música das Spice Girls. Estamos muito orgulhosas dela", disse Halliwell, que definiu o single como uma "canção de amor" e declarou que ela e suas companheiras de grupo começaram a colocar letra nele antes mesmo de decidirem voltar a cantar juntas.
"Headlines" será uma das principais músicas da nova turnê internacional das Spice Girls, grupo que, em 1998, deixara de ser um quinteto com a saída de Halliwell, hoje uma das mais entusiasmadas com o retorno do grupo.
"É incrível. É como acordar e ter uma segunda chance para fazer algo que você realmente quer", disse a cantora.
Durante a entrevista, Halliwell também declarou que é "fantástico trabalhar" com as outras spice girls, apesar das "pressões" a que estão submetidas.
Na turnê que começará em 2 de dezembro, com passagens confirmadas por cidades como Buenos Aires e Madri, no qual Emma Bunton, Mel C, Mel B, Victoria Beckham e Geri Halliwell cantarão vários de seus antigos sucessos.
