Emma Bunton on the Spice Girls comeback tour

  • Spice Girl Emma Bunton may have to scale back her dance routines for the girl group’s first London shows at the weekend after injuring her ankle at their Las Vegas gig on Tuesday night. Emma had to resort to using crutches while the group unveiled ‘Spice One’, the private plane to carry them around between tour dates, at LAX yesterday. She explained: “I had a tumble on stage and unfortunately I have sprained my ankle, so I’m hobbling around on crutches. But I’m sure to make a speedy recovery and see you all at the O2 [arena on Saturday].”
  • Pete Wentz‘ Fall Out Boy bandmates reportedly blame Pete’s girlfriend Ashlee Simpson for their recent failure to garner a Grammy nomination. The band expected to get a nod when the nominations were announced last week and when they didn’t get one, they pointed the blame Ashlee-ward. A source told OK magazine: “Grammy voters are fed up with Ashlee after she was caught lip-synching. Her relationship with Pete has definitely affected public opinion of the band. The guys in FOB are furious - they think everything Ashlee touches is poison, and they really want her to stop touching Pete!”
