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]

The Spice Girls are in Tesco’s 2007 Christmas commercial. I think it’s cute and funny!

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.

Skinny Victoria Beckham has been ordered to gain weight for the upcoming Spice Girls world tour. The band’s managers are worried that Posh is too thin for the gruelling dates, which kick off in December, so she was asked to eat five meals a day.

So, as a result, she’s been put on a spinach rich diet to increase her stamina and energy.

As well as gorging on the green stuff - famous for giving strength to cartoon character Popeye - she has been asked to eat more carbohydrates, with bowls of brown rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We’re told: “Vic is under orders to have at least five small meals a day, to get her body prepared for the tour. She isn’t too happy about the plan but understands that it’s necessary if she’s to stay healthy and not burn out over the coming months.

“It’s a pretty intense - not to mention bland - regime but it’s essential she sticks to it.”

It wouldn’t be the first diet that Posh has gone on but this time she has to pile on the pounds.

The same can’t be said of the other fad schemes that she’s been partial to in the past.

These have included drinking fat-burning Chinese teas four times a day and abiding by tips in a diet book called Skinny Bitch, which is based on consuming 1,200 calories a day or less.

Posh - one of the main attractions in the official 2008 Spice Girls calendar which goes on sale today - has also tried disgusting algae and seaweed shakes.

But our source added: “This time around, Posh understands that the key is about getting stronger and if this means putting on an extra pound or two, so be it.” [Source]

Wow… this has to be Victoria’s worst nightmare!

Here are some candid pictures of Posh shopping in London on October 24.
