Victoria Beckham's four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls 'feud'
Victoria Beckham has wished Geri Halliwell-Horner many happy returns of the day amid rumours of a feud between the Spice Girls. The musicians formerly known as Posh and Ginger Spice raised eyebrows when they swerved Melanie Brown MBE's wedding last month after reports that things between Ginger and Scary were still strained.
Mel B is yet to comment on Geri's 53rd birthday today, however, Victoria did post a snap of herself and the mum-of-two, alongside Emma Bunton on Instagram. She captioned the photo: "Happy Birthday @gerihalliwellhorner!! Kisses @emmabunton xx." It comes as Emma posted her own tribute to Geri earlier today as she wished her "beautiful friend" a happy birthday.
Geri was said to be offended by Mel B after the outspoken singer claimed the pair slept together while the Spice Girls were still topping the charts. And when the Look At Me star swerved Scary's nuptials in July, fans were convinced things were still awkward between the pair.
While Emma attended Mel's wedding in London last month, neither Geri, Victoria or Mel C showed their face. Victoria and Mel C sent their apologies, saying they had a prior engagement, which they couldn't get out of. However, Geri stayed silent.
But, a source told the Mirror that there was no feud between the Friendship Never Ends stars, adding that Geri, Mel C and Victoria simply had other commitments. "There's no snub, the girls are all on friendly terms with one another, but it's no secret that Geri is busy with Christian at Formula One and Victoria is extremely busy with her fashion brand," they said.
It's believed that Victoria, who is now firmly focused on her fashion brand had work commitments in another country. Meanwhile, Mel C, known as Sporty Spice, was on tour and performing in Rødovre, Denmark at the time.
It was reported that Geri would not be attending the wedding due to a broken relationship with Mel B, but this isn't the case, according to our source.
Instead, Ginger Spice was supporting her F1 husband, Christian Horner, at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone - days before he got sacked.
Paying tribute to his wife today, the former Red Bull boss, 51, shared a beaming snap of Geri as she posed proudly with her birthday cake.
Christian, who shares son Monty, seven, with his wife, captioned the post: "Happy birthday to my amazing wife" before tagging her in the post.
It was hoped last weekend that the Spice Girls would reunite for Mel's second 'spiritual' wedding in Morocco - but only Emma attended.

Victoria Beckham fans race to bag 'free' luxury beauty item this week
The deal is only available while supplies last, so fans keen to add to their collection may want to shop sooner rather than later Victoria Beckham's eponymous beauty brand is treating fans to a luxurious little bonus this week. For a limited period, customers can bag a complimentary Artist Palette with any purchase over £50. The Artist Palette, reportedly a staple on Victoria's dressing table, is a sleek, curved flat surface crafted for blending or applying water-based or cream formulations. Simply add a few drops of makeup or skincare to the palette, then use a brush to mix before applying to the skin. Compact enough to hold in one hand, it's engraved with the Victoria Beckham Beauty logo for a hint of subtle elegance, making it as much of a showcase piece as it is a functional tool, reports OK!. Bear in mind, though, it's only available whilst stocks last. As noted, shoppers will need to spend over £50 to secure the complimentary gift. M&S shoppers praise 'versatile' suede jacket that 'goes with anything' The new ghd curling range provides 'all-day hold' and leaves hair 'shiny and smooth' For those unfamiliar with VB's range, the Concealer Pen (£64) is a favoured starting point. Delivering light-to-medium, radiant coverage, it functions as skincare too, with the brand asserting it can enhance the complexion within four weeks. A clinical trial revealed that 100% of participants agreed the concealer didn't settle into pores or appear cakey after eight hours of wear. One delighted reviewer commented: "My favourite concealer ever. It covers all my imperfections, has a perfect tint, and achieves the exact coverage effect I want. I had the sampler first, which helped me find my perfect match to order." However, a mixed review states: "The actual product may well be good, but the terrible applicator choice and design are horrendous for desiring a timely effort in doing one's makeup for the day or evening." Another popular concealer option is Rodial's Banana Lowlighter (£38), which boasts a solid 4.8-star rating. This delighted shopper commented: "Gorgeous texture and goes on like silk, can't even tell you're wearing it. Lovely match." Alternatively, the Colour Wash Blush Water Tint (£44) is another favoured selection. This watercolour-inspired flush, offered in three shades, seeks to deliver a natural, glowing appearance. Most customers adore it, with one declaring: "This is genius! Long-wearing, not sticky at all, sinks into the skin, and looks stunning. Brilliant formula." Yet, someone else remarked, "Pretty flush, but it took a lot to build up to show up a natural flush on my cheeks." A different blush option is Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush (£24), which is renowned for its weightless sensation and enduring formula. An amazed buyer enthused: "This liquid blush is perfect in every way. It doesn't sit on top of the skin or emphasise texture - melts in seamlessly, leaving a beautiful, radiant finish that looks like it's coming from within." Finally, newcomers to Victoria Beckham's beauty range might fancy the Bronzing Brick (£68), which arrives in a stunning tortoiseshell compact featuring gold accents - a genuinely luxurious treat for any cosmetics collection. The product contains two complementary tones, both enriched with nourishing elements like cocoa butter and moringa oil to deliver a moisturising result. One five-star reviewer gushed: "The two shades appear very natural on my skin tone, providing the right amount of 'tan'. It applies perfectly without feeling cakey. I feel like it sets my makeup well also." Though another customer observed: "It clumps together on my skin." As an alternative, my present favourite bronzer is ICONIC London's Shape and Shade Sculpting Stick (£23). It's perfect for contouring, delivering chiselled definition instantly, and it smooths effortlessly for a radiant, authentic look.

Bailey Smith blows up at onlookers at Geelong Cats training session amid intense interest in his romance with Tammy Hembrow
Bailey Smith isn't weathering the storm of attention around his new romance with Tammy Hembrow. The AFL star was furious with onlookers on Thursday as he got back to work, taking part in a training session with the Geelong Cats in Victoria. Media and photographers showed up to see the playboy footballer return to the field after his weekend fling with Tammy - only for Smith to direct a string of expletives in their direction. Smith covered his face as he walked off the pitch following his spray, the Herald Sun reported on Thursday. It appears the young athlete is unimpressed by the intense interest in his latest love match, and had likewise unleashed on photographers who spotted him at Melbourne Airport on Sunday, after his hookup with Tammy on Saturday. Meanwhile, Hembrow has given a very telling sign that things are getting serious between her and AFL star Smith. The pair have been splashed across headlines since they were seen getting very cosy out in public on Saturday, just weeks after her split from husband Matt Zukowski. But while the fitness influencer, 31, dismissed the news of their shock new romance as 'f***ing boring', her recent TikTok video tells another story. The blonde beauty called out the interest in her love life with a biting message in the clip, but her followers were far more interested in what the online sensation was wearing - Bailey's jacket. It appears that Bailey left the grey Adidas jacket he wore on their date over the weekend on the Gold Coast at Tammy's house - a big sign that they will be seeing each other again. Bailey, 24, carried the jacket in paparazzi photos of the pair leaving their date at popular Rick Shores eatery. Just days later, after Bailey had jetted back to his rural home in Victoria, Tammy could be seen wearing his jacket as she enjoyed the afterglow of a new romance in Queensland. She defiantly wore the jacket as she filmed her TikTok video in her car. In the clip, she mimed the words to a trending audio clip. 'Don't be f***ing boring. This whole town is so f***ing boring. I don't care,' Tammy mouthed, while shooting bratty looks at the camera. The video appeared to be in response to the trolling that the mother-of-three has received for moving on just weeks after confirming her split from her husband of seven months, Matt. Tammy also hit back at haters on Monday by posting a series of steamy selfies to Instagram and telling her followers to 'smile more'. 'Think we all need to smile a lil more, okayyyy,' she wrote. Tammy came under fire from keyboard warriors on Monday over her new romance with AFL star Bailey. Trolls attacked her after she posted photos of a family outing on Instagram on Sunday. The gallery of heartwarming images featured Tammy and her brood visiting a market and enjoying a picnic. In one photo, Tammy could be seen posing with her children, son Wolf, nine, and daughters Posy, three, and Saskia, seven, ahead of their day out. Still, some followers saw the post as an opportunity to slam Tammy for her lifestyle choices. 'Another man in those poor kids' lives,' one troll complained. Another user came in with an even harsher comment: 'Now onto another man already? Yeah 'cos Bailey will be able to handle kids etc. Why not just focus on you?' Bailey jetted back to Melbourne on Sunday to resume training ahead of Geelong's clash with the Swans at the SCG.

Revealed: The identity of the mystery woman seen at dinner with ex-AFL club boss who left his job during 'd**k pic' scandal
The glamorous woman who had dinner with ex-Carlton president Luke Sayers shortly after his infamous lewd photo scandal has been revealed as one of Australia's top interior designers – and she's reportedly still working for the high-flying executive. Sarah Townson, the director of the acclaimed Anthology architecture and interior design company, was spotted having a meal with Sayers in April, as it was revealed that his wife had left him after his 'd*** pic' scandal in January. Sayers quit his post with the Blues effective immediately on January 22, with the announcement coming just minutes after the AFL Integrity Unit found he was not responsible for the sending of the sexual image. He was pictured having a meal with Townson at Melbourne's Geppetto Trattoria restaurant, with the pair pictured and filmed smiling as they clinked wine glasses at the eatery. Townson is currently doing interior decorating work at the headquarters of Sayers' consulting company, Tenet Advisory and Investments, and his property in Melbourne's inner city, according to News Corp. Sayers' wife Cate, the mother of his four children, is currently living at her property in Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, the publication reported. Townson - who was previously with Plus Architecture - has been nominated for awards and has worked on hotel developments. The Daily Mail does not suggest she is or was in a romantic relationship with Sayers. The former Blues president stepped down from his beloved club after an image of a mystery man's penis was posted from his X account, with the account of a top female management figure with a company linked to Carlton tagged in, at 5.41pm on January 9. The public post was directed at the executive's social media account, although the mother-of-two does not appear to have used X since 2017 and does not follow Mr Sayers on the platform. Sayers noticed the development after the photo had been online for 12 minutes, at which point he hastily deleted the image and apologised to his followers, stating he had been targeted by cyber criminals. 'Sorry, my account has been hacked - please ignore all posts,' he wrote. The married father-of-four's account, which had more than 7,300 followers, was deleted but the post had already been reposted and screen-grabbed by other X users. He told Daily Mail Australia he was 'outraged' by the hacking when the news first broke. The high-flying executive (pictured with Carlton star Patrick Cripps) was cleared of any wrongdoing by the AFL Integrity Unit 'This is outrageous. I'm investigating and will leave no stone unturned finding out who did this to me and my family,' he said. Sayers had been with the club for 12 years before stepping down. The AFL and Carlton later said his account was compromised and no further investigation would take place. The fallout from the scandal didn't stop there, with a club sponsor pulling out of an event that was run by Carlton and Sayers also stepping back from another post. It emerged that Bupa cancelled its naming rights arrangement for the team's Run for Respect charity event on February 2. However, a company spokesperson confirmed Bupa will continue its relationship with Carlton, adding, 'Bupa continues to prioritise the wellbeing, privacy and safety of our employee.' In addition to quitting as Blues president, Sayers also announced he would step back as chairman of his consulting company, Sayers Group.
