No, really, it’s probably just the outfit she’s wearing, but super-skinny Victoria Beckham does look like she has a big butt in this picture!

In other news, the Spice Girls cancelled their world tour, because apparently both the Mels have quit.

Despite citing family commitments as their reason for cutting the tour short, sources close to the group say the two Mels did not want to continue.

After they were presented with a new tour schedule the friend said to the Daily Mirror: “Mel B wasn’t having any of it. She misses her husband and children and said she couldn’t go on. She’s also been flooded with US offers after her success on Dancing With Stars.

Mel C agreed it was time to call it a day. She was the least excited about it. She also feared it might jeopardise her solo career.” [Daily Mail]

The Spice Girls have recently opened up about the pain caused by Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) and Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice)’s eating disorders. Geri and Mel C have both developed bulimia during the nineties, when the Spice Girls were wildly successful.

And although remaining band members Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Victoria Beckham knew the girls were unwell, they admit the issue was never discussed.

Chisholm explains on a recent TV documentary about the reformed British girl band, “My biggest, biggest fear and it made me feel nauseous just thinking about it was that the papers were going to say I’d put on weight.. “All through the Spice Girls I was terribly in control of what I was eating. I wasn’t eating properly and I was over exercising. I was very skinny. I found having an eating disorder really embarrassing.”

Mel B concedes, “Even though we were that close there were certain things you just don’t talk about unless you feel there’s a window in there.”

And Victoria adds: “I feel ashamed of myself that I didn’t give Melanie C more time. I didn’t realise she had issues that she had.” [Source]

In order to stay healthy on the Spice Girls‘ world tour, Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) is eating huge amounts of garlic.

The 35-year-old singer is determined to keep fit for the group’s grueling schedule and has been consuming a diet packed with the smelly vegetable along with beetroot and carrots.

A source said: “Geri worked so hard to prepare for the tour. The fans mean so much to her and she is scared about letting them down if she were to get ill. She wants to perform to the best of her ability every night.” [Source]

Geri is also doing yoga everyday to help her stay in a good shape.

Melanie Brown (aka Mel B or Scary Spice) has given birth just seven months ago, but she already got back into a great shape!

Geri Halliwell has taken every opportunity to show off her finely tuned body in recent times, but now Mel B is challenging Ginger Spice in the race to be the most toned Spice Girl.

Scary Spice appeared mesmerised by her own achievements, admiring her impressive abdominal muscles between rehearsals for US TV show Dancing with the Stars.

While Scary Spice gave birth to her daughter Angel just seven months ago, she quickly jumped into a vigorous fitness regime as part of the dance competition, which swiftly banished the small amount of baby weight she was left with.

Of course, she is also preparing to hit the stage with her fellow band mates amid rumours the competitive girls are each wanting to be in the best shape of their lives.

Mel B’s muscle is thanks to a personal trainer who has been putting her through 90-minute training sessions, six days a week.

She also practises Capoeira - the Brazilian martial art - and yoga. [Source]

Emma Bunton (aka Baby Spice) can’t seem to lose her baby weigh. She has been dubbed “Fat Spice” because she looks heavy compared to her skinny bandmates.

The blonde singer gave birth to son Beau in August, but has since struggled to shed the pounds she piled on while pregnant.

Emma and the rest of the girls - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Mel C - are set to pose for a sexy lingerie shoot for Victoria’s Secret ahead of their comeback tour but Emma has been in tears over her post-baby bulge.

A source told Britain’s Closer magazine: “Like any new mother, Emma’s just not feeling so confident about her body since having Beau.

“When they do the underwear shoot, each girl will have lingerie that has been themed to their Spice persona, but it seems likely that Emma’s going to want to be a bit more covered up than her bandmates.

“The weight hasn’t just dropped off her, she’s one of those people who has to diet and work out.

“It’s not that Emma considers herself to be fat, it’s just that the other Spice Girls are so tiny, and she can’t help comparing herself to them.” [Source]

Does anyone else think calling Emma “Fat Spice” is cruel? She looks normal and healthy to me, and I really don’t think anyone should be compared to Victoria Beckham because she is NOT a good role model (especially weight-wise).

Here are some candid pictures of Emma Bunton taken back in June in London.
