Talking of reunions, and despite that research last week that said they were the group most people wanted to see split up, the recently reunited Spice Girls have sold out their O2 arena date in just 38 minutes.
More than 1 million people in the UK registered for tickets for the show on 15 Dec, which makes them only 19 million short of the Zeppelin reunion show's registration figures though, unlike Robert Plant and co, the Spices see the reunion as a more long term venture and have already announced three new London dates on the 16 and 18 Dec, and 2 Jan. Despite that fact, some twits are still paying upwards of £700 on eBay for tickets to the initial show.
Elsewhere - and I'm not sure how true this one is - the tabloids report that The Spice Girls are set to duet with U2, claiming that Bono has written a song for them. The new composition is apparently set to be rushed through for release with the Spices' upcoming greatest hits album because label bosses are worried that songwriting polemics like 'Wannabe', 'Two Become One' and 'Mama' just weren't enticing enough anymore. A 'source' for the story said: "Bono's involvement has lifted the whole camp, and he's delighted to have been ask to add this experience".
