There’s been a lot of talk about a Spice Girls reunion. Last we heard it wasn’t happening because the most successful former Spice Girl, Melanie C aka “Sporty,” was holding out since she actually has a music career and this could harm it. Now they’re said to be releasing a new single and planning a tour:

If that’s true it’s good news for new mom Geri Halliwell. She’s been begging her friends for a place to stay in the countryside with her newborn, Bluebell Madonna. She says she can’t afford her own house, but Hello! magazine reportedly paid her six figures for the first photoshoot with her newborn.

Update:: Reader Margarita points out that the single “Woman” is from 2000, meaning this news is old and not true. They were said to be talks for a reunion tour, but it was a no-go due to Sporty’s reluctance to join the project.

Stavros Niarchos showed up drunk at Paris Hilton’s house at 1:00 am on Monday morning begging her to take him back:

Paris was at Matt Leinart’s draft party on Tuesday so that means she was with her new guy one night, and her old one the next.

Matt Leinart may be hot but he’s not as rich as Stavros. Stavros inherited $275 million on his 21st birthday this month, while Leinart’s contract with the Arizona Cardinals is said to be worth around $12 million. He also has a new endorsement deal with Nike, so it’s not like he will be suffering.

Paris is playing the field wisely.

Here she is with Nicky going to Shag nightclub on 5/2. Barbara on the gossip rocks board points out that they are “two different shades of orange” and “so easy to hate.” How right she is. [via]

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey may be ready for a reconciliation. Mike Walker of the National Enquirer reports that they have been meeting up secretly at out-of-the-way hotels in the San Fernando Valley:

Walker bets that they’lll reconcile, and it looks that way to us, too! In his Rolling Stone interview, Lachey admitted that he’s still very much in love with Simpson. Simpson has also been spotted wearing her wedding ring around her neck to remind her of happier times. Let’s hope that Simpson has realized what she’s been missing and that she’ll grow up enough to weather the storms that come up in every long term relationship.

Meanwhile Lachey has blasted reports that Lindsay Lohan intends to get in his pants, saying he doesn’t consider her worthy, and doesn’t know anyone else who does, either!

Here’s Jessica stopping for food and going tanning in LA yesterday. [via]

Eminem is having a rough month. His second marriage to Kim Mathers broke up admit allegations of his drug abuse, his best friend the rapper Proof was shot and killed, and his mother is dying of stage four breast canncer. Eminem must have learned something from tragedy, because he’s decided to put aside the long-standing feud with his mom and has spoken to her for the first time in years. He’s even paid some of her massive medical bills:

It’s nice that Eminem is making an effort, but what the hell is wrong with him that he hasn’t visited his mom in the hospital?

Meanwhile 50 Cent says that Eminem is going to be ok and that hip hop reflects the state of violence in African-American culture and is not the cause:

Maybe Eminem will actually see his mom before she dies. It might help him realize how important family and friends are, and how you shouldn’t hold a grudge.

Charlize Theron, 30, was photographed getting all kissy-face with her boyfriend of five years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, 33, at the Lakers game on Friday. They look incredibly happy and in love, and Charlize was seen with what looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger.

The couple had some relationship trouble in March, but seemed to have patched it up. Here’s the recap:

Nick came off so thoughtful and was quite flattering to Jessica in his interview with Rolling Stone. The fact that he refused to dish any dirt on Jessica and her crazy family led Rolling Stone to double-cross Nick and sell the story without his permission to Us Weekly.

Nick and Jessica had a little meeting at Jessica’s house to discuss his Rolling Stone interview:

Jessica has been seen wearing her wedding ring around her neck to remind her of happier times, and Nick said in his Rolling Stone interview that he still loves his estranged wife. We think they split up because Jessica was too immature to handle the relationship. Are they going to get back together?They both seem to love each other, so maybe they’ll give it another chance.

Here are two pictures from Jessica’s upcoming film, “Employee of the Month,” and some candids of her shopping for antiques in Hollywood. [via]

Here’s the quick version of Mischa Barton and Cisco Adler’s prolonged breakup or on-and-off relationship, whichever you prefer:

At the beginning of the month Sienna Miller was said to be dating Jamie Dornan, Keira Knightly’s ex. A week or so later Jude Law flew to NY to be with Sienna, and Jamie Dornan was supposedly with Lindsay Lohan. Sienna then had a Mexican vacation with hot model Nico Malleville like a day or two after she reunited with Jude. We haven’t even mentioned Sienna’s relationship with her Factory Girl costar Hayden Christensen, who she was dating at the end of January.

This is like the third or fourth reconciliation for Jude and Sienna, and it’s pretty hard to keep up.

Anyway Jude just had a vacation in California with his ex and three kids, during which he accused a photographer of pedophilia for taking pictures of his children. And Sienna has struck out at the paparazzi several times herself, so it’s not surprising to see both stars looking mighty grumpy in these candids of them out with Jude’s kids and older nanny. They all went to see Ice Age 2 and had to get a police escort to stave off photographers:

Here are the pictures of their outing, courtesy of Just Jared.

On March 30th we reported that Hillary Swank and Chad Lowe were supposedly over for good because someone said so and that there was “competition between them” according to some tabloid. This was a week after a report came out that the two were going to renew their vows.

Swank and Lowe were spotted massaging each other and geting all cosy on a flight recently, which means they’re probably back together:

That’s kind of sweet, and it may work out for them this time. Swank seemed committed to trying to make it work, and it must be hard to maintain a relationship in Hollywood.

Nicole Richie is redesigning the engagement ring given to her by DJ AM in February, 2005 for their first engagement. The couple broke up in December, 2005, and reconciled six weeks ago. Richie will save AM money by using the stone from her original ring in a new setting. Apparently she’s “superstitious,” but we just think she’s pushing AM into another engagement and doesn’t want to wait for him to get her a new ring:

“Unoffically engaged” is like being a “little bit pregnant” - it doesn’t exist except in the minds of people who really want to make it happen.

Here are AM and Richie in NY City on April 13th. Remember how we said AM was surprisingly hot? Yeah, we take it back.
