Rumors are flying that the Spice Girls may extend their world tour to include a few gigs Down Under!

According to Britain’s The Sun, Australian promoters offered the Spice Girls nearly 10 million pounds to extend their tour. They girls are now in talks to add 12 dates in Sydney, Perth and Brisbane in March.

“The girls have a massive fan base in Australia and a huge amount of cash is being thrown at them to get them to perform there,” a inside source told the magazine. “Everyone in Oz has been reading about the show and now they want a piece of the action.”

And why wouldn’t they? I think for the tour to be considered truly global, Australia needs a few dates to spice things up!

Mel B has twisted her ankle – just weeks after Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton did the same thing.

Scary, 32, injured her foot while celebrating New Year's Eve at London hotel Claridge's.

'Mel B got so drunk she fell down a flight of stairs and twisted her ankle, so she won't be busting the moves tonight,' Geri Halliwell, 35, told the crowd at the O2 on Wednesday night.

The mum-of-two definitely didn't seem as bouncy as her usual self.

'Scary was certainly much more reserved,' a source tells the Daily Mirror. 'It was clear the injury was affecting her and she couldn't gyrate around the stage like normal.'

Emma, 31, is still recovering too after falling on stage during a gig in Las Vegas.

After her 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears announced that she was pregnant and commandeered world headlines, the covers of Star and numerous other celebrity news weeklies, Britney knew she would have to do something BIG!

Partying pantyless, a third pregnancy of her own, a new paparazzi boyfriend -- none of that was going to do the trick. Plus there was other tension coming from an unusual place for Britney -- the political scene. Barack, Hillary and Huckabee were doing some major attention-grabbing of their own,

Britney had to go for a doozy. And she did!

We've all seen her now being wheeled from her mansion strapped to a gurney after a close to four-hour standoff with police.

Her two little baby boys were there, K-Fed was there, bodyguards, a court monitor, hovering helicopters...again, a scene that not even the best fiction writer could make up.

I say what's really going on is Roman tragedy, even Biblical. Think, Remus and Romulus, think Cain and Abel, Issac and Ishmael, Esau and Jacob -- two siblings desperately vying for attention and power. And in the case of Brit and Jamie Lynn, it's an even tougher situation, they have their mother Lynn pushing her way into the spotlight to with her new big book deal that won't die.

So it's triplets all desperately and determinedly needing attention and Britney, a huge child star and the center of the Spears family's focus for all these years, feels she needs it the most. She needs to be Number One Daughter and she'll do whatever it takes to stay that way.

A shrink friend explained it to me like this "when you get that type of stardom at such a young age and when it feels like it's being taken away with her career on a downward slide, it's such a loss, such a void that Britney has tried to fill it.

First, "it was with having babies and they were taken away. Now her sister and mother are taking away her press spotlight. She feels like everything is being taken away."

Britney is very likely mentally unstable. Star magazine has had medical experts telling us for almost a year that she is probably bi-polar. When you have mental instability, mixed with drugs and alcohol and a feeling of loss of control, it's not hard to understand Britney's desperate measures to regain control of her power in both her personal relationships and her control of the media spotlight.

She may not be able to tell her sister and mother face to face to get the heck out of her spotlight, but sadly, she just found another effective way to do it!

It's been widely reported that Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn can't stop butting heads on the set of Four Christmases but apparently it was a scene where they're supposed to bump uglies that really has Reese hot and bothered — but for all the wrong reasons. "Reese has an issue with the scripted love scene," an on-set source tells PageSix.com. The sex scene is written as a funny, American Pie-style romp, but "Reese is such a prude, she thinks it's just too much," the insider adds.

While Reese may be the bigger star of the two, Vince definitely has more clout on set. Not only is he one of the film's producers but he also oversaw most of the writing, so the sex scene will most likely be filmed as written.

But Reese may not be the only one scoffing at some of the film's content — there is a chance Vince's ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston won't be too happy, either, because Vince's character is oddly named "Brad." Honestly, to play a character named after your ex-girlfriend's ex-husband — it's all so meta! Only in Hollywood.

George Clooney may not be ready to marry his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, but he is ready to make her famous in her own right. George thinks Sarah is pretty and talented enough to be a huge movie star, so he's asked his good friend, producer Steven Soderbergh, to put her in his upcoming movie, tentatively titled Garland Bunting Project. The insider says that George doesn't want to cast Sarah as his co-star because he doesn't want to work with someone he's involved with. "George thinks Sarah could be a huge star," the insider adds.

The National Enquirer, the publication that was on the money about Baby V’s nude photo-op, is reporting that the High School Musical sweethearts have officially called it quits.

The Enquirer claims Zac broke up with his long-time sweetie by phone on December 19th; leaving Vanessa “stunned.”

“They’ve been together for a long time, and he didn’t even call her to wish her a Merry Christmas,” according to the tabloid’s report.

“Zac wants to move on, start seeing other girls. He’s had no shortage of women hitting him up to become Vanessa’s replacement. Zac’s got enough numbers to fill a phone book.”

Vanessa has taken to leaning on HSM nose-star Ashley Tisdale in helping her cope with the split:

“Vanessa and Ashley have been spending more time together.”
