Spice Girls' charity single bombs



HEADLINES IS THE KIDS CHARITY'S WORST-SELLING SINGLE
Cover your other eye, Pudsey! The Spice Girls' comeback single looks like being the worst-selling Children In Need song EVER.
Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) - the first track the five Spices have recorded together since the band split up nine years ago - has scraped into the midweek charts at No.10.
All the proceeds from the sale of the single go to charity. Sadly it has only sold a measly 5,278 copies, despite being available digitally last week and in the shops from Sunday
And it's being roundly trounced by Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward and Kylie.

Despite the Spice Girls' much hyped return - including a sensational performance for the Victoria's Secrets fashion show in LA last week - the band have failed to whip up any enthusiasm for their new track.
An insider reveals: "There has been a tremendous buzz about the Spice return, but sales for both their Greatest Hits album and the single have not matched up to the hype.
"The fact that Headlines is for charity should have helped boost its performance but that hasn't happened."
The single was deemed so dire by Radio 1 bosses that it was relegated to the C-list and got hardly any airplay.

Angelina Jolie Might lose Daughter


Angelina and Brad must be suffering a Madonna style anguish as a woman claiming to be the birth mother of their 3 year old adopted daughter Zahara is demanding to see her. Angelina has always made it clear that one of her priorities was to make sure all her children stayed in touch with their cultural roots. However, Zahara's natural family say that Angelina has failed to live up to her promise after adopting the Ethiopian orphan. Furthermore, despite being registered an orphan, Mentewab Dawit, 20, has reiterated claims she first made in 2005 that she is in actual fact Zahara's biological mother and she wants her back.

Jungle Update

Medics were rushed into the jungle yesterday after ex footballer Rodney Marsh took a tumble whilst out collecting firewood for the camp. The oldest out of the lot fell awkwardly damaging his knee and leaving him unable to walk back to camp. Luckily Anna Ryder Richardson was on hand to run back to camp and get the help of the others. ITV bosses didn’t risk putting Marsh back into the jungles last night, instead checking him into a hotel.


GOOD LUCK ENGLAND!
