Mel B

With her famous social circle, Kim Kardashian’s baby shower was always going to be a star-studded affair. The mum-to-be celebrated her impending arrival — she’s due in July — in Beverly Hills today, with guests including her mum, Kris Jenner, sisters Khloé and Kourtney, and friends Mel B, Kelly Osbourne, Maria Menounos and Kimberly Stewart. Her boyfriend Kanye West was also on hand for the occasion despite reports he was possibly going to be a no-show; he was apparently worried about being the only male at the baby shower, but he arrived with Scott Disick and Lamar Odom. Kanye also brought his family along.

It was a brunch event and People reports that guests enjoyed waffles, pancakes and fruit. Activities included the usual baby shower games like guessing the baby’s name. Some of the female guests also wore wreaths made out of baby’s breath in their hair, such as Kelly, who swapped her studded headband for the more appropriate headpiece.

The baby’s sex was also revealed in the season eight premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which just aired — Kim and Kanye are having a girl!

Mel B stripped down to a blue and white bikini when she had a yacht party with a group of friends and her husband, Stephen Belafonte, in Cannes on Wednesday. The couple were in the South of France to attend a charity dinner on Tuesday with model Natalia Vodianova. Mel spoke at the event, which raised money for the Naked Heart Foundation and FilmAid. She will soon be back on a plane yet again to return to the UK where she hinted she may meet up with her former Spice Girls pals. Mel wrote about her trip in a blog entry last week while shooting down news of a reunion. She wrote, "Press as usual writing BS about Spice Girls. As usual, us girls know what's gonna happen, so they just need to shut up. Heading to Cannes Cinemoi and UK to see my Spices, yippee." Maybe Mel will have a chance to meet up with Victoria Beckham, who is settling down after news broke that her husband, David Beckham, is retiring from soccer. Victoria and her family travelled to Paris last weekend to watch David play his final home game with PSG. The team has one more game to play this weekend, but it isn't clear if David will take the field for that match.

One thing's clear: Aussies certainly made their mark on the world map this week! In Spain, supermodel Miranda Kerr was announced as the face of cult fashion label Mango, while in LA, Hugh Jackman received a much-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cate Blanchett made waves in London, where she wowed the crowds in a long white dress, and Naomi Watts hung with her The Impossible co-stars at a private screening. As for the non-Aussies? They were busy too — one international superstar hit our shores for a string of concerts, one cute couple did some Christmas shopping together, and a group of five girls put their girl power together once again. There's plenty to see, so click through to check it all out!

We first fell in love with her Scary Spice(y) ways, but we now love Mel B for much more than that. Her "tell it like it is" attitude is a refreshing addition to Aussie TV, and her commitment to health and fitness following the birth of her daughter Madison last year is pretty inspiring. The girl looks good! We spoke to Mel B to find out what products are sitting in her beauty cupboard and her secret to beautiful skin. Ready to Spice up your life?

The Spice Girls really need no introduction. Bursting onto the scene in 1996 with their hit single "Wannabe", the girls became as well known for their crazy hair and beauty looks as they were for their music. It's been 16 years of colour, curls and questionable choices — from Baby Spice Emma Bunton's cute blunt bob, to Geri's cascading curls and, of course, the Pob. There were ringlets, sexy up 'dos, coloured eyeshadows and so much more — and after seeing the girls reunited on Tuesday night at the Viva Forever! musical press event, we couldn't help but notice how far they've all come. Click through the gallery to see how Geri, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Emma have changed over the years!
