'SPICE GIRLS' HEAD TO LOS ANGELES

The Spice Girls are getting ready !

The Spice Girls are decamping to Los Angeles for rehearsals. The decision is a resounding victory for Victoria Beckham, who reportedly only signed up to the reunion under the proviso the other girls would agree to temporarily move to the US, where she now lives with her family. A source said: "There was no way Victoria would agree if it meant she had to go back and forth to London." The move has allegedly not gone down well with Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Mel C, who all reside in the UK. Mel B already lives in the US. Heavily pregnant Emma is said to be apprehensive about moving with a newborn baby, while Geri Halliwell has 13-month-old daughter Bluebell to consider and Mel C recently set up home in Wales with her boyfriend. The girls announced they were reuniting - six years after breaking up - for a world tour in December last week. The group are set to kick off their 11-date world tour in Los Angeles, followed by shows in Las Vegas, New York City, Buenos Aires, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing and Sydney.
