Geri Halliwell claims Spice Girls tour is an act of charity

Engaging seriously with stuff Geri Halliwell says is like drawing a Hitler moustache and glasses on the stupidest My Little Pony. It feels so damn sweet for a while, but by the time you realise there are NO winners with this kind of activity, it's too late to go back.

So you should know that Lost in Showbiz truly fought the impulse to highlight the following - fought it long and hard - but ultimately finds itself powerless to resist calling Geri out over the suggestion that the bulimia relapses the Spice Girls are currently inflicting upon each other are NOT-FOR-PROFIT.

"The truth of the matter is, to put on this tour has cost £18.6 million," Geri explains to reporters. "We have done this purely to celebrate our fans, the music and ourselves.This is not a money-making expedition. It really isn't. Hopefully we will break even but it has never been about that."

Hopefully they'll break even? Oh Geri, Geri, Geri - even by your own lobotomised standards, love... ! I think we'll leave it there before fatal embarrassment claims us all.
