Emma Bunton: Baby Food

The Daily Mail is reporting that Emma and Jade are scrapping their plans to move to LA full time in order to open a restaurant in London.

Our darling Baby has reportedly been in talks for quite some time to move State side in order to be a television presenter in the USA, but says that she and her boyfriend Jade, who is a budding young upcomer in the culinary world, are giving up those plans, opting to start a small family business instead.

Jade admitted,

"Yes, I want to open a restaurant with Emma. We're not sure when or where yet, but it's something we're seriously looking into."

As for Emma taking on work in the kitchen, Jade says,

"I won't let Emma in the kitchen any more. I've heard Gordon Ramsay has two kitchens in his house, so we might do the same. One for me and one for her.

Every time she picks up a knife I get terrified."

Emma is not the only Spice Girl to have dug her heels into the culinary arts. Victoria recently told the London Lite Newspaper that she was working on setting up a restaurant with Gordon Ramsey in LA.

Emma Bunton: Ab Fab - Huntin', Shootin', Fishin' (Part 4)

Eddie shoots a pheasant which turns out to be alive, so she and Patsy drug it and leave it in Hyde Park. Meanwhile Saffy calls the police on Sarah.

Hope you enjoyed this episode.

Emma Bunton: Ab Fab - Huntin', Shootin', Fishin' (Part 3)

"Maybe Emma Bunton shot me and I just don't know it."

Sarah decides to stalk Emma, while Eddie and Patsy try to make the most of their time in the countryside by horseback riding and shooting clay pigeons.

Emma Bunton: Ab Fab - Huntin', Shootin', Fishin' (Part 2)

"She said Stop It!"

Naoko Mori guest stars in her recurring role as Saffy's paranoid best friend, Sarah (whom Edina calls Titicaca) and becomes obsessed with Emma when they meet up at Saffy's baby shower.

Sidenote: Naoko and Emma have acted opposite each other before. Naoko played the role of the Spice Girls pregnant friend Nicola, in Spice World: The Movie.

Emma Bunton: Ab Fab - Huntin', Shootin', Fishin' (Part 1)

I've written a post about each of the Girls today, except for Emma. Since she doesn't really do much lately (compared to the others), I'm adding the second episode of Absolutely Fabulous that she guest starred on during the show's fifth series.

Again she plays herself as Edina's latest celebrity client (and Saffy's old school friend).

"She's the famous gob on Prince Charles' crackers."

Emma Bunton: Vodafone Awards

The Spice Girls are still winning awards. Last night Emma represented the Group when she appeared (along with boyfriend Jade) at the Vodafone Music Awards at Brixton Academy in London. The Spice Girls won the award for Best Music Return for their sold out Return of The Spice Girls Tour, beating out artists like Led Zeppelin and The Verve. Emma said,

"I feel so honoured that our fans have given us the chance to do it all over again and obviously having the children there made it extra special."

"It was the most amazing time of my life. It was such a whirlwind, it was really fast, but all of us had the most amazing time. To have the opportunity and do it again and be out on tour was brilliant."

As for life after the tour...

"I went on tour very early with Beau so I've been spending lots of time at home with him being a mum which has been lovely."

Congrats to the Girls on their win.

Emma Bunton: Let's Talk Babies

Emma says that she cannot wait for her Spice Pal Melanie C to return from holidays with boyfriend Tom Starr so she can sit down with her and talk about pregnancy and raising kids.

"I knew she was pregnant before everyone else. I'm so happy for her," Emma said.

Was Emma the first of the Spice Girls to find out about the pregnancy? I guess that would make sense, Emma and Mel have both said on seperate occassions that they live close to one another in London. Don't you just wish Victoria and Mel B had this kind of relationship? Mel has said that they live close to each other in LA but that they don't really see each other.

Emma Blogs About Mama Mix Up

After the Girls show in San Jose last night (and probably around the same time I was yelling at my TV wondering where the hell Headlines was) Emma blogged from the Spice Jet while snuggling up with some red wine.

Hi everyone,

I am sitting on the plane next to Mel B, enjoying a glass of red wine having just done our show in San Jose to an amazing crowd. I felt a little less nervous tonight than I did in Vancouver and I really let loose and had lots of fun.

With each show I'm getting more confident singing live but during Mama I got so carried away looking at the video playing behind us of all the mothers and babies that I forgot some of the lyrics!

Mel B also has a thing for pinching our bottoms... which makes us all giggle!

I know you don't get to see what's going on underneath the stage but our quick changes are mad, although we all help each other out.

We're truly having the best time of our lives and we feel so lucky to get the chance to do it again. We know some people have traveled far and wide to see us and we can't thank you enough. So, we'll make sure you have the best night.

See you at the next show!

Lots of love,

Emma xx

Ps Beau's favourite song is Wannabe.

Their next show is tonight at The Staples Centre in LA. Break A Leg!

Emma Blogs Of Blisters

Emma has updated her official website with a blog to the fans regarding the tour (and the blisters she is enduring on our behalf).

Hi y'all,

I'm sorry I'm only just sending you this new blog, but you wont believe how busy we've been. Were rehearsing our bottoms off every day for the show. Its been so exciting being back on stage with the girls and performing all our classics!

At this very moment I'm practicing the routines in my heels and Ive got the most painful blisters. But you're all worth it! : )

Our only day off so far was Thanksgiving, and we spent a beautiful day at Victoria's house with lots of delicious food and wine and celebrated with our friends and families.

Beau is being the best little boy in the world, and we've got him some little ear protectors so he can watch rehearsals. As soon as he heard Wannabe he started dancing by kicking his little legs around! He is just so gorgeous.

I really cant wait for you guys to see the show. I hope you enjoy it. Not long to go now.

See you soon.

Lots of love

Emma xx

I personally can't believe that it has come so quickly. Two days the tour starts in....TWO DAYS. Wow. Anyway, so I've been trying to add the new Spice Girls Tesco commercial but it seems like embedding is being a hideous bitch goddess today, so for now I'll just add the link to it, and I'll try adding it again tomorrow.

Emma's Thanks

Just for fun, I figured why not post the thank you's from each of the girls that adorn the pages of the Greatest Hits Booklet. Plus I can add a new picture of each girl. First off we have Emma.

To all my family, friends and loyal fans:

I know these songs have touched your hearts

and built our memories over the last decade.

From wannabe to woman, what a fantastic journey

a once in a lifetime experience and I did it with the

support of you all. For this I truly thank you

Simon: Your guidance has been invaluable.

Thank you.

Sophie: Where would I be without you? x

PJ: My brother, my friend, my bodyguard.

My 2 special boys Jade and Beau:

I love you so much.

Beau, you have melted my heart and

I now know what unconditional love is.

The newest member of our Spice family

who will be sharing the next phase

of our Spice journey, because

that's what we are Girls,

one extended family.

Thank you all for everything.

Mum: My rock. I love you.

Thank you all again

and from me to you

...I give you

our Greatest Hits!!! x

Solo Spice: Emma Bunton - Free Me

As much as Emma was probably my least favorite Spice Girl back in the day, she truely has become a fantastic solo artist. With this song, and subsequent album of the same name, she found the sound that really works for her. Not to mention finding her long lost sex appeal.

Anyway, it's the first single from her second album "Free Me"...Enjoy the Bond-girlness of it all.

Solo Spice: Emma Bunton - All I Need To Know

It's a slow Spice news day today, so I might as well add a few music video's. This is the second single from Emma's third (and most recent) album "Life In Mono". All of the exterior shots were actually shot outside last December, so she deserves mad respect because she froze her ass off in a satin dress for her craft. It's a beautiful ballad and I think the angel motif is just lovely. Emma is right at the beginning of her pregnancy here.

Emma Blogs About Her Journey To LA

Each week one of the five Girls writes a blog about how things are going and posts it up on the Official Website. This past week it was Emma's turn, and she decided to write about her journey from London to LA, as well as some of the merchandise we can expect to find for purchase at the concerts. Now that all five of the girls are finally in LA (Melanie C and Geri also made their journey's this week) I'm sure we can expect a whole lot of great news and insider tips. Here is what Emma wrote for us in her blog.

"Hello from LA, we're finally here!

Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who posted messages on my official website about the photo of Beau. Sorry it took so long to introduce him but I'm sure you'll agree he's worth the wait. Jade and I are besotted with him.

Beau took his first flight this week as he flew to the USA for our rehearsals. He was so amazing on the plane, so much so that people even commented on how good he was. I also enjoyed the flight and the Virgin Atlantic team were so helpful, so a huge thanks to them.

When we arrived in LA, it was incredibly exciting. There were lots of paparazzi photographers everywhere and it was a bit mad as I'm sure you've seen from the images - but thank goodness for sunglasses!

So we're here in sunny LA, our home for the next few weeks whilst we prepare for The Return Of The Spice Girls tour. I can't wait to meet up with the girls again to catch up on gossip, giggles, shopping...oh and of course the rehearsals. He He!

I wish I could tell you everything about the show but I don't want to ruin any surprises. All I can say is that it is going to be fantastic and we are all working really hard to make sure that you all enjoy it.

I'm really excited about the merchandise for the tour too. I don't know if I should tell you this but as well as T-shirts, the tour programme and the usual merchandise items, we have some baby bits. They are SO cute! I can't wait to get some for Beau.

Don't forget that the exclusive first play of the video for Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) will be on BBC1 in the UK on Friday night, just before EastEnders. We are all really pleased with it and hope that you like it too. We had great fun filming it.

Before I go, I want to say well done to Mel B for scoring ten out of ten with all of the judges on Dancing With The Stars this week. We're all really proud of her. You go Melanie!

Thank you all again for your support - we can't wait to see you all on tour.

Lots of love

Emma xxx"

How's that for news, eh?

Hello Beau

Emma Bunton and her long time boyfriend Jade Jones recently released the first public picture of their new born son Beau Lee Jones.

Emma wrote the following on her official website blog to accompany the picture.

“Hi everyone, So sorry for the wait, but here is our beautiful little boy Beau. As you can see from the picture he is a bonny little soul, and he makes us so happy, he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us. He’s 10 weeks old now and we can’t believe how quickly time flies. We’re all getting ready to go to L.A., we’ve packed his little bag with all his goodies. He’s started to sleep through the night now so mummy is getting some well deserved sleep before the tour.

I’ve been rehearsing with Geri and Mel C the last few days, and I really think it’s going to be a great show. We shot the video for Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) the other day and I didn’t stop laughing all day with the other girls, it was great having the gang back together. I really hope you love the single as much as we do.

Anyway that’s all for now, will try to send you a blog from LA and let you know how the rehearsals are going.

See you all soon, Lots of love,

Emma xx”

He is very cute, I gotta say. His little hair pattern is a bit odd though.

A New Baby Spice

Emma Bunton and her longtime boyfriend Jade Jones welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world this morning at London's Portland Hospital. The happy couple have named their 7lbs. 15 oz. child Beau (which as we all know is french for beautiful).

Jade, who announced the news to reporters waiting outside the hospital, said "He is absolutely brilliant, and both baby and Emma are doing fine. In fact Emma is tucking into some flapjacks and Coca-Cola as we speak." Must be a nice hospital! He also added " We are both absolutely delighted and can't wait to take Beau home."

This is the couples first child and adds the total number of Spice kids up to 7.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
