Mel B has officially shut down any hopes of a Spice Girls reunion tour to mark the group’s 30th anniversary, admitting she has “laid that to rest” now that she has turned 50. 

Despite the milestone year for their debut single and album, the artist formerly known as Scary Spice confirmed that a return to the stage isn’t on the cards. 

“I can tell you it’s not happening,” she said, adding that if a tour did eventually materialise, it would be a complete shock to her.

While the band last performed together for a series of shows in 2019 without Victoria Beckham, Mel B feels the timing for such a massive commitment has passed. 

She reflected on how much she loved being in her element during previous tours, but explained that she no longer wants to be the one “nagging everyone” to get back on the road if their hearts aren’t in it.

Even if Melanie C, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham were suddenly to sign up, Mel B isn’t certain she would even change her own mind about performing again.

The singer was quick to point out that her decision doesn’t stem from any bad blood, noting she has a huge amount of “respect and love” for her bandmates, whom she still views as family. 

She credited the Spice Girls for her entire career and personal growth, though she remains hesitant about the physical demands of the spotlight.

“I’ve got fond memories, but I don’t know if I would want to go back up on stage,” she admitted in an interview published on Friday, 3 April.

While a tour is off the table, a documentary remains a possibility, though Mel B has some very specific conditions for taking part. 

She told HELLO! that while the group has been approached and everyone has considered it, any film would need to be handled carefully. 

For her, the project would only work if it was a completely truthful account of their journey. 

There is a catch, however, as she noted that “it has to be honest, and not everybody wants to be honest.” 

For now, fans will have to settle for those fond memories as the 30-year milestone approaches.

Barbie Ferreira hasn’t lost touch with her Euphoria girls.

In a new interview on the SiriusXM radio show The Morning Mashup published Friday, April 3, the actress — who portrayed Kat — opened up about where she stands with her former co-stars after exiting the HBO series following season 2, three years ago. While promoting her latest work, Ferreira was asked how closely she keeps up with her former colleagues — including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow — now that she’s no longer part of the show.

“Yeah, totally. People always ask me questions about season 3. I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ I don’t even think the girls know,” she said when host Ben Harlum asked how closely she follows the show now, ahead of its season 3 premiere on April 12. 

Ferreira, 29, revealed she still chats with her former co-stars but isn’t looped into the details. In fact, she joked about how little even the cast seems to know about upcoming storylines.

“I was like, ‘Is Trisha Paytas in Euphoria?’ And they’re like, ‘I don’t know.’ And I’m like, ‘You’re in it. How did you not know?'” she said. “So, I haven’t seen anything until the trailers this week. They look amazing. I’m excited to see what the girls are gonna do.”

Ferreira has previously addressed speculation surrounding her exit, pushing back on rumors of on-set drama.

“When people ask me about season 2, they come at me like I was some sort of victim to season 2, and I’m always like, ‘No, it’s okay, promise. It’s good,'” she said on Dax Shepherd’s Armchair podcast. “I kind of got sucked into this drama that I never asked to be in and that I’ve never talked about. I’m of the mindset that if it doesn’t exist, I’m not going to address it because then I’m adding fuel to it.”

Blake Lively’s legal team has hit back after a federal judge dismissed her sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni, insisting the ruling was a legal technicality rather than any kind of vindication for the It Ends With Us director.

Attorney Michael Gottlieb said in a statement shared with PEOPLE that Lively’s harassment allegations “have always been the beating heart of Ms. Lively’s case. They are why she filed her lawsuit.” 

He was clear that the dismissal did not reflect the merits of those allegations. 

“The Court’s ruling that Ms. Lively’s state and federal harassment claims could not go to trial was about legal issues rather than an endorsement of the defendants’ conduct,” he said, explaining that the claims were barred on technical grounds, Lively had not signed a contract, was classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee, and the alleged conduct took place in New Jersey rather than California.

Federal judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed ten of the thirteen claims Lively filed against Baldoni on Thursday, 2 April, including the harassment allegations, ahead of the trial scheduled for 18 May in New York. 

What remains, breach of contract and a retaliation claim under the Fair Employment and Housing Act against Baldoni’s company Wayfarer Studios, will go before a jury. 

Both Lively and Baldoni are expected to testify.

Baldoni’s side wasted no time framing the ruling as a significant win. 

His lawyers described themselves as “very pleased” that all harassment claims and every claim against the individual defendants had been dismissed, calling what remained “a significantly narrowed case.” 

In a separate statement to TMZ, attorney Bryan Freedman went further.

“Neither Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath nor any of the other defendants have engaged in the sexual harassment of Blake Lively,” he said, adding that his clients had “deserved a vigorous defense which was led through transparency.”

Gottlieb fired back sharply. 

“Claiming exoneration based on legal technicalities while facing trial next month tells you everything you need to know,” he said, pointing out that Freedman had not even argued the summary judgment motion he was now publicly spinning, had brought in another firm for the trial, and had been reprimanded by the court the previous week for filing legally frivolous claims. 

“What the Court actually decided yesterday is that Blake Lively provided evidence to go to trial on her core claims,” Gottlieb said.

Lively first filed her sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni in December 2024, alleging misconduct on set and a coordinated retaliatory smear campaign, which Baldoni has denied. 

Baldoni’s own counterclaims against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, alleging extortion and defamation, were dismissed by the same judge in June 2025, with his legal team choosing not to refile.
