Are you ready for some more Girl Power? Or will it be the end of life as we know it? All five Spice Girls appeared in public together for the first time in six years today as they announced an 11-date, eight-country world tour. But don’t you think it’s time they drop the "girl" thing? These women are well worn and stopped being "girls" MANY years ago.

The tour will take in the USA, Britain, Germany, Spain, China, Australia, South Africa and Argentina. To register for tickets go to www.thespicegirls.com.

Straddling Christmas, the tour will begin in Posh Spice Victoria Beckham’s new home in Los Angeles on December 7, before visiting Las Vegas, New York City, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires. Is the world really ready for this?
