Geri Halliwell brought her own kind of spice to the 2008 BAFTA Children’s Awards in London last night.

Despite a seemingly flawless appearance from the front, Halliwell’s ensemble had one major issues in back. Her dress + wind = revealing red carpet number.

Granted - had she been wearing underwear, we wouldn’t be commenting on her exposed skin. But then we’d probably be criticizing her for pulling a Gwyneth Paltrow.

Argggh. Why don’t men ever have these wardrobe issues?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce

Madonna and Guy RitchieWhat took 7 1/2 years to build ended in less than a minute.

Earlier today in a London court, a judge granted Madonna and a preliminary divorce decree. Assuming no issues come up, their marriage will officially be over in six weeks and a day.

This morning’s proceeding - which was not attended by either by either party or their lawyers - lasted approximately 54 seconds. Their case was sixth on a list that included 16 other couples.

According to the petition filed by , “unreasonable behavior” was cited as the reason for divorce. According to the Daily Telegraph, that is an option often used for “quickie” resolutions. The alternatives for divorce are “adultery, a five-year separation or for one partner to have deserted the other for at least two years.”

Although Guy could have walked away with a substantial portion of his ex’s fortune, the director has reportedly decided to settle for their estate in Wiltshire and a pub they own in the Mayfair area.

Britney Spears: Drama Queen?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Rumors

Britney SpearsThe appearance of pop princess on CBS helped boost show ratings and created buzz for weeks, lighting the Internet aflame. Is it possible that Ms. Spears could light the London stage on fire as well?

In what is truly one of the more disturbing pieces of news I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading, I have learned there are Brit may be up for the role of - get this - Blanche DuBois in a theatrical production of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The role was made famous by Vivien Leigh (perhaps better known as Scarlett O’Hara), winning her an Oscar for the film version of the Tennessee Williams play (starring a then-unknown Marlon Brando).

Okay. Britney Spears is southern and more than a little tragic - a clear enough parallel to Blanche DuBois. However, Spears is much too young for the role and has never proven herself as anything like a dramatic actress. The tragedy of DuBois would undoubtedly be overshadowed by the tragedy of Britney if she really did play the role, and the alcoholic actions of Blanche may hit too close to Britney’s home for British fans to remain comfortable. Besides all of that, it’s a completely ludicrous idea.
