Spice Girls to Strip for Victoria`s Secret

The reunited girl group - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell - are in talks to pose in Victoria's Secret underwear ahead of their performance at the company's star-studded fashion event next month.

However, the band are said to be terrified about stripping down to their lingerie and have embarked on strict diet and exercise regimes to ensure they look their best.

A source said: "The girls are working out like crazy to ensure they look sexy. The shoot will feature each girl wearing lingerie appropriate to their Spice Girls nickname."

The photos will be released on November 15, just before the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.

During the show, the girls - performing as a five-piece for the first time since Geri sensationally quit in May 1998 - will sing new song 'Headlines' as well as an old track, thought to be 'Say You'll Be There'.

The source added: "They wanted one old and one new. But they may still change their minds about the old one."

It was recently revealed the band are selling their new album exclusively through Victoria's Secret.

The group have signed a £5 million deal to make their greatest hits LP only available in the US at outlets of the underwear giant when it is released in November.

Victoria's Secret will also offer fans a special limited-edition box set, which includes charm bracelets, a karaoke DVD, postcards and posters.

Tom Cruise bowled over by Posh

Tom Cruise so loves Victoria Beckham’s British accent and turn of phrase, that he’s now asking her to give him a few lessons.

A source revealed that the actor has started mimicking words that come out of Posh’s mouth every time she says something ‘really English’.

“Tom thinks her words and phrases are brilliant. Whenever he’s round there and she says something really English he starts mimicking her,” the Daily Express quoted the source, as saying.

“She’ll say things like ‘bloody hell’ and ‘blimey’. And she’ll say ‘come on chaps’ to her sons. Tom loves hearing it all and is building up a bit of an English vocabulary himself,” the source added.

The insider also revealed that though Posh was initially very amused by the way Cruise was enthralled with the way she talks, she’s now getting used to it since Will Smith is apparently as keen on her accent.

“Victoria is amused by his enthusiasm over her everyday chatter. But she’s starting to get used to it – because another friend, Will Smith, also likes taking off her accent and phrases,” the insider said.
