The real reason Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell-Horner did not attend Spice Girl bandmate Mel B's 50th
Mel B celebrated her 50th with an epic party in Leeds on Saturday night, where she was surrounded by her friends and family. But there were two notable absences as Geri Halliwell-Horner and Victoria Beckham were nowhere in sight as their Spice Girls bandmate hit the dancefloor. The former X Factor judge pulled out all the stops for her big night as she joined her partner Rory McPhee and her children Angel, 18, and Phoenix, 26, in Leeds for the glamorous evening. Also marking the milestone with Mel were her bandmates Mel C and Emma Bunton, who matched Scary's leopard print theme. Posh and Ginger's absences were especially conspicuous, considering the whole band reunited for Victoria's 50th celebrations a year ago. Insiders have revealed to The Sun that whilst fashion designer Victoria had 'a work commitment she couldn't get out of', it is said that Geri didn't give a reason for turning down the invite. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Mel B and Geri have a fractious relationship, with a row said to have occured at Victoria's 50th last Spring. The star-studded soiree saw all five of the Spice Girls come together to party but it was claimed Mel and Geri's greeting was tense. Despite having posed for a smiley snap with Victoria, Mel C and Emma Bunton, The Sun claimed Mel and Geri were feeling tense. Prior to the reunion, Mel B claimed in an interview that Geri has lied about her age for years. Despite travelling the world together in the band's heyday, Scary Spice claimed Geri always kept her passport close to her chest so she 'still doesn't know' how old she is. After the interview the pair were said to have kept a distance from each other at Victoria's party - before Mel reportedly tried to offer and olive branch. A source told the publication: '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. 'Geri wanted to be there to celebrate and have a good laugh with everyone, not talk to Mel about the embarrassing things she's said about her.' Mel make fresh jibes at her former friend by wishing her a 'Happy 75th Birthday' in August, seemingly a reference to her previous jibes that Geri had lied about her age in the past. Insiders said last summer that there have been many more digs and jibes behind the scenes which have infuriated Geri. The source added: 'They've always had a tricky relationship but this has got very messy now and nobody has been able to smooth things over between them - so it's all off again.' Another fall out reportedly occurred after Mel B made the explosive claims she had sex with Geri during the height of their fame in the 90s, putting their friendship under strain. The openly bisexual singer made the shock claim while filming for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019, cheekily telling the broadcaster Geri had 'great boobs' and adding: 'It just happened and we just giggled at it and that was it.' However, the saucy claims of their night of passion reportedly caused great upset, with sources suggesting Mel made a frantic call to Geri, who has denied that the fling ever took place. She told Mail On Sunday's Event magazine: 'I texted her on the night I did the Piers Morgan show and explained what he'd said and how I'd answered and she was fine with it. 'The problem was it then got hyped up into a much bigger story, and it didn't help that we were just about to begin rehearsals [for reunion tour]'. 'It was awkward. We hadn't been back in the situation of being together every single day, being on stage, rehearsing, getting ourselves back into Spice Girls mode, and then all the headlines about our relationship were thrown into the mix, which was pretty bad timing. Months later months later Mel joked during an appearance on Loose Women that Geri 'still hates her' following the revelation. Whilst she wasn't at Saturday's party Geri did pay tribute to Mel on her 50th on Thursday. Sharing a photo of the pair from the nineties, Geri wrote: '#Happy 50th birthday @officialmelb wishing you a very wonderful year ahead.'

Woman Says She Is 'Disappointed' by Her Partner's Reaction After Their Friend Shoved Her at His Birthday Party: 'No Excuse'
A woman wrote in a post on Mumsnet that she felt let down by her partner's reaction after their friend got physical with her at a birthday party The woman said her partner defended the friend because "he's going through a divorce" and "his mom just died" "I told him his response showed how he's prioritizing his friendship over me," the woman wrote on the U.K.-based forumA woman is feeling let down by her partner for how he reacted when their friend got physical with her at a birthday party. In a post on the U.K.-based forum Mumsnet, the woman said she recently threw a celebration for her partner "with all his friends and family," and it "went off (largely) without a hitch." However, she explained that things took a turn for the worse when a couple they "are both very good friends with" showed up. Detailing that the pair "are currently going through a divorce," the woman continued, "It's largely amicable, however, the husband has started drinking quite a bit more and can get very aggressive." Adding that the man is "loud and quite broad," the woman also said he can be "quite traditional when it comes to gender roles, but this only ever seems to be picked up by women and not the men in his life.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. According to the woman, she and the man have "always had an odd relationship" and there have been tense moments, including times when she's criticized him "for how he's spoken to me or his wife." One such occurrence happened during the birthday party for her partner, the woman said, as the man "started drinking quite heavily and being quite loud and obnoxious to other guests" as soon as he and his soon-to-be ex-wife arrived. At one point during the event, the woman was checking in on all the guests to make sure they were doing okay. But, when she got to the man's table, the woman said, "He turned to me, told me to 'f--- off' and with both hands shoved me so hard I almost lost my footing." Detailing that "only a couple of people" saw the altercation, the woman pushed it aside until she and her partner returned to their home later that night. "I was a little disappointed at his reaction," she wrote, adding that her partner defended the man because 'he's going through a divorce" and "his mom just died." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Still, the woman told her partner that "there was no excuse" and she "could have been seriously hurt." She also told him that she was going to address the incident with the friend and how she felt she "deserved an apology" if her partner didn't do it himself. But, "two weeks" went by, because the woman said her partner "struggles with confrontation" — despite being her "biggest champion" and "a wonderful person." "I told him his response showed how he's prioritizing his friendship over me, and that if he'd just dealt with it immediately, then we would have already moved on," the woman wrote. "But I'm still not convinced he even gets my perspective on this, and it's really making me rethink our relationship for the first time in a very long time." As the woman concluded her post by writing that "even having to ask him is giving me a case of the ick," she was met with mixed reactions from other Mumsnet users. 'I can see why you are disappointed — I would not be happy with this kind of aggressive behavior, being ignored and minimized,' one person wrote. Another agreed, stating, "It's absolutely the man's job to stand in for his partner and address it and say something. It's normal!' Others, meanwhile, felt that the woman should have said something at the party and resolved the issue in the moment, rather than wait for her significant other to do so later. 'You said you'd raise it if your partner didn't. He hasn't, so why haven't you? You avoided confrontation at the party, and he's avoiding it now,' said one commenter.

Five teens killed in horror knife rampage at 15th birthday party after girl ‘refused twisted attacker's advances'
RUSSIAN police are investigating the brutal deaths of five teens during a birthday party for a 15-year-old girl. Mikhail Paramonov, 17, allegedly went on a killing spree after a 14-year-old girl refused his advances, according to Russian reports. 10 10 10 The murders, involving stabbings and a gas canister explosion, took place at a country house in Baikalsk, in Russia's Irkutsk region, on Tuesday night. Mikhail, the oldest at the party, allegedly became 'heavily intoxicated', attacking and killing four teenagers with a knife, reports claim. The victims have been named as Polina Markova, 16, Nikolai Malyshev, 13, Vadim Pavlushkin, 14, and Oybek Bondursky, 14. Among the 14 at the party, four teens were also wounded. One girl, Veronika, 15, remarkably survived by pretending to be dead after being stabbed, according to reports. When the attacker left the room, she managed to escape and alerted a neighbour, who then raised the alarm. The neighbour, along with some of the teenagers, called the police. Mikhail ran back into the house and set the house on fire, opening the gas canister, according to reports. Viktoria, 14, managed to escape seconds before the gas explosion. She saw Mikhail 'opening a gas canister' and setting the house on fire. New site searches after Fiona Pender disappearance reclassified as murder Mikhail was killed in the fire and was found by police 'naked and holding a knife'. Anastasia Sinota, 15, whose birthday was being celebrated, escaped the horror. Some reports say that the four dead were killed in their sleep but this has not been confirmed. Police found five the bodies of four boys and one girl in the burnt house. Most of the children had told their parents they were staying with friends, according to reports. Their parents were unaware they had travelled to a 'dacha' - or country house - for a party, some 125 miles from regional capital Irkutsk city. 10 The children all attended the same School Number 11 in Baikalsk, but Mikhail - a young wrestler - had left. Regional children's ombudswoman Tatyana Afanasyeva said: 'As a result of this terrible crime, five teenagers were killed, including the attacker. 'Four were hospitalised.

'The wounded children were hospitalised. 'A 14-year-old teenager with neck wounds is in extremely serious condition.' The Russian Investigative Committee has launched a full probe into the murders. A statement read: 'At some point, one of them attacked those present with a knife.' It added: 'As a result, four teenagers died at the scene, and another four were taken to the hospital with various injuries. 'The suspected attacker set the house on fire after the attack and died in the resulting fire.' A former classmate said: 'Everyone is shocked, of course, that [Mikhail] could do such a thing. 'He was a good person, but with stupid jokes. 'He always helped whoever he could, he was popular with girls. 'But after the 10th grade he left because he couldn't handle the school programme.' The wounded children have been named as Viktoria 'Vika' Vishnyakova, 14, Veronika Rakitneko, 15, Ruslan Fedotov, 14, and Dmitriy Semyon, 15. Five others safely left the scene of the massacre. 10
