Spice Girls reunion a go

London – Mel C, who had opposed a reunion of the Spice Girls, has changed her mind.

“For the first time ever, there is some truth in the rumors. We’ve been discussing it and it could possibly happen,” the 33-year-old singer, known as Sporty Spice, told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

“I’ve always said, ‘I don’t want to do it, the past is the past. It was amazing, it was magical. We could never re-create it,”‘ she said. “But this year people have been talking about it and some of the girls have expressed an interest in doing it.”

Mel C – Melanie Chisholm – added: “There is just so much great feeling out there and I just thought, ‘You know what, I don’t want to be the person that stops it happening or stops it being a five-piece.”‘

However, she added: “If the Spice Girls were to get back together it would be for a very short space of time. It would be a final goodbye and a ‘thank you’ to all the fans all over the world.”

The Spice Girls also included Scary Spice (Melanie Brown), Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham), Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) and Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell).

‘Sopranos’ star also surprised by ending

New York – Viewers weren’t the only ones who didn’t know what to make of the boldly ambiguous ending of “The Sopranos” – some of the stars didn’t, either.

James Gandolfini told the Daily News in Friday’s edition that he had “no idea” what to think was to happen to his character, the emotionally tortured mob boss and suburban dad Tony Soprano, after the hit series’ final episode closed Sunday with an abrupt cut to a blank screen.

“You have to ask (“The Sopranos” creator) David Chase that. Smarter minds than mine know the answer to that,” Gandolfini said. “I thought it was a great ending. You decide.”

The screen went black and silent as Gandolfini’s character and his family sat down to dinner, leaving fans guessing – and some complaining – about the ending’s meaning or lack thereof.

Hasselhoff wins custody fight

Los Angeles – A beaming David Hasselhoff said Friday he had won a long-running legal battle with ex-wife Pamela Bach over custody of their two teenage daughters.

“The judge said, ‘Enough is enough,”‘ Hasselhoff said outside Superior Court after a closed hearing.

Hasselhoff was awarded primary physical custody and full legal custody of the two girls, said Melvin Goldsman, his attorney. The teens will mainly live with their father, who will have responsibility for making decisions about their health, education and welfare.

Hasselhoff, 54, the former star of TV’s “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider,” and Bach, 43, had been splitting custody of their daughters, Hayley, 14, and Taylor, 17.

On May 7, Superior Court Judge Mark A. Juhas put a hold on Hasselhoff’s visitation privileges for two weeks after the public leak of a videotape showing an apparently drunken Hasselhoff struggling to eat a cheeseburger while on the floor of his Las Vegas home. One of his daughters is heard chastising him.

His visitation rights were later restored.

Tribute to Versace

Milan, Italy – The city of Milan will commemorate Gianni Versace on the 10th anniversary of his murder with a series of events in his memory.

Versace, who built his fashion empire from his studio in the center of Milan, was gunned down July 15, 1997, outside his oceanfront mansion in Miami Beach, Fla.

Recalling Versace’s love of the theater, French choreographer Maurice Bejart has written a two-part ballet titled, “Thank You, Gianni, With Love,” to be performed at La Scala.

Other events include an exhibit of Versace’s sketches of theater costumes that will be installed on Milan streets this month, and the establishment of a scholarship in his honor at the European Institute of Design.

“Gianni for me was a great brother, a great man and a great artist,” Donatella Versace, sitting alongside her brother, Santo, told a news conference. “He was a genius, who deserved all of this.”
