Bag It Up is the fourth and final single released from Geri's debut solo album "Schizophonic" (1999). The song which is a lyrical jamboree about the battle of the sexes was Geri's third solo UK number one single and caused quite the stir when she performed it during the 2000 Brit Awards, appearing from between a pair of blow up legs and writhing about the stage with a gaggle of pink haired muscle men. I thought it was hot and hilarious personally. The video for the song features Geri as a spokesperson for a product aptly called "Girl Powder", which is guaranteed to turn your man into your very own obedient servant. The pink hair may be a setback to some. By the end of the video Geri has stripped all of the employees at the Girl Powder factory down to their boxers for a poll dance and a walk on their leashes. Definitely my favorite Geri video.
Last Thursday evening, Geri appeared on The Alan Titchmarsh show to promote her Ugenia Lavender books (of which one of the characters holds Alan's surname), and got talking about the process of naming things. Enjoy.
Jennifer Lopez wants to appear in the next 'Sex and the City' movie.
'The Wedding Planner' star was a huge fan of the hit US TV show, and always wanted a cameo role, but is now hoping to be cast in the movie sequel.
She is quoted as saying: "I adore the show and nearly popped up in the TV show, but then did 'Will and Grace' instead."
A source said: "Jennifer has got her heart set on joining Carrie and the girls. The bosses are trying to think of a way of fitting her in without it being cheesy."
If Jennifer gets her wish, she wouldn't be the first celebrity to appear in 'Sex and the City'.
Actress Heather Graham and supermodel Heidi Klum both played themselves in past episodes.
Former Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell appeared on the show in 2003, while her ex-bandmate Victoria Beckham is rumoured to have been lined up for the next film. Source
This past Friday, Geri was on The Paul O'Grady Show in the UK to promote her children's book Ugenia Lavender.
She discusses Ugenia's origins (she was named after a gay italian man named Ugenio), the possibility of a Ugenia Lavender movie with her as the voice of the title character, the Once Upon A Bedtime initiative, and her 2 and a half year old daughter Bluebell. A very sweet interview, take a look.
Geri will be appearing on pre-school tv channel Nick Jr. (a division of Nickelodeon) in the UK during the month of November when she and other celebrity faces will read childrens stories as part of the Once Upon A Bedtime initiative, in support of the 2008 National Year of Reading which promotes reading among children and their parents.
The channel will host the special programmes titled A Bedtime Story; With Arnie & Barnie, where each celebrity will read a different classic children's story. Geri has been assigned to read Little Red Riding Hood. Geri says,
"I regularly read to my daughter Bluebell - it helps to settle her into a nightly routine, plus improves her imagination, vocabulary and listening skills. I especially enjoy inventing new stories and ideas with her."
Other celebrities signed on so far include tv presenter Donna Air (reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears), and former Footballers Wives star Gary Lucy (reading Beauty & The Beast).
Geri has admitted to The Daily Mail newspaper in the UK that she has finished the first draft of her first movie screenplay with the help of some of her friends in the industry. She's keeping the details of the film under wraps but she said,
"It is pretty incredible to finish it - the first draft. I got somebody to teach me using a programme called Final Draft.
I've got a few friends who are screen writers and they said to write the premise of it first - like the whole story of it."
Her plans to write a screenplay were inspired by Jonathan Ross' wife Jane Goldman, who wrote the screenplay for the Claire Danes film "Stardust", adapting the story from the Neil Gaiman novel.
"Jonathan Ross' wife wrote 'Stardust' and I thought, 'Oh wow, I'd like to do that.'"
I wonder if the film will have anything to do with Ugenia Lavender? We'll see.
Geri made her first appearance of many on her new book tour around the UK at Harrods in London this past Saturday afternoon. Our former Ginger Spice sported new brunette locks as she autographed copies of her Ugenia Lavender book series. Sadly, I heard from a few fans that went to the appearance that Geri was unresponsive and a bit distant except for when it came to signing for children. That breaks my heart a little to hear. I hope this wasn't true for everyone who came without child in tow. Geri has scheduled two more in store signings since my last posting. The first will be on Saturday October 4th at 12:30pm at the Borders bookstore in Oxford. The second is on Thursday November 6th at 4pm at the Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent. Hopefully she'll be nicer. What do you think of Geri as a brunette?
