Two Spice Girls set to snub Mel B's 50th birthday celebrations tonight days after reunion announcement
MEL B's big 50th birthday bash in Leeds tonight is set to be a glitzy affair. But The Sun can reveal TWO of her Spice Girls bandmates are giving it a miss. 6 6 Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner will be skipping the bash. Posh is out of town for work, but Geri has turned down the invitation. An insider spilled: 'Mel's throwing a huge party in Leeds for her 50th. It's also her fiance's birthday today so it's a joint celebration and will be a real family affair. "But Geri and Posh can't make it. Posh had a work commitment she couldn't get out of. "It's a bit awkward given the reunion excitement." The Sun has contacted their reps for comment. The snub comes just days after we revealed plans for the group to reunite as Avatars, following in the footsteps of pop legends Abba. It would see holograms of Geri, Mels B and C, Emma Bunton and Victoria playing their biggest hits. Victoria, who was not part of their 2019 tour, was said to have suggested she would agree if the others did. A source added: 'Their former manager Simon Fuller is desperate to have one last hurrah with the Spice Girls and this is his latest idea. "He was the person who came up with the original idea for Abba and their digital show and he thinks this model could work perfectly for the group. Mel B is due to marry Rory McPhee, 38, later this year. It comes as Geri and Mel suffered a "frosty reunion" at Victoria's birthday last year. Geri and Mel are said to have kept their distance at Oswald's private members' club in Mayfair at the star-studded bash. A source said of the stars, who had a second No1 in 1996 with Say You'll Be There: 'Mel tried to smooth things over with Geri at the party but it didn't go as planned. "She was laughing it all off but Geri didn't seem interested in hearing what she had to say and wandered off. 'When it came to taking their group picture, Geri kept as far away from Mel as possible which was awkward to watch." Any awkwardness between the group, who split in 2000, seemed to be forgotten by the time they hit the dancefloor — where they performed their 1997 hit Stop. Onlookers told The Sun the five also sat down at a table together and talked during the evening. 6 6

David Beckham puts on a brave face as he steps out for glam event amid feud with son Brooklyn
DAVID Beckham put on a brave face last night for a glam event, amid his ongoing feud with son Brooklyn. The Sun exclusively revealed David's "heartbreak" that his eldest son did not join his London celebrations to mark his 50th birthday over the weekend. 7 7 David, 50, smiled for the camera as he attended a showbiz bash. The footy ace was seen mingling with other partygoers at the launch of Nespresso's new flagship boutique in Covent Garden. You would never have known that Becks' family are embroiled in a family feud, as he put on a brave face. David looked handsome as ever in a black suit with a matching t-shirt underneath. FAMILY FEUD It's been a week of highs and lows for Becks, who turned 50 with a posh birthday bash full off all his celebrity friends and his beloved family. However, his son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were missing from Victoria's Instagram posts from the bash - including a family shot of Posh, 51, and Becks with their three other children - Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13. The couple, who live in Los Angeles, spent the last week in London but were no-shows at an intimate family dinner in the Cotswolds. They also missed a family trip to France last Friday and Saturday night's soiree in London. Brooklyn's absence failed to put a dampener on a night, but was a tough pill to swallow for dad David, who is said to be "heartbroken". The father-of-four even posted an image of himself and Romeo and Cruz, and said that Brooklyn was "missed". Why Brooklyn Beckham's feud is Victoria's 'worst nightmare' as he refuses to he in same room as ex Kim Turnbull Brooklyn reportedly decided against attending over the inclusion of his ex-girlfriend, and brother Romeo's partner Kim on the guestlist - who is being "blamed" for the recent feud. The pair started dating last year, after being spotted out together in London in November. A source told The Sun at the time: "[Kim] is no stranger to the spotlight and previously dated Madonna 's son Rocco Ritchie. Kim also dated Romeo's brother Brooklyn briefly in 2016, long before meeting his wife Nicola. 7 7 This is where the root of the Beckham family feud is said to have started. Romeo's big brother is said to have questioned Kim's 'motives' for starting a relationship with his younger sibling. He is also said to have felt uncomfortable that his ex would be in attendance. But the blame is being levelled at Nicola, which has upset photographer Brooklyn, according to a source. They said: 'She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she's a loyal wife.'
