>Not much thong with Geri

>Geri's not past her sell-by date

She hasn't had the best of luck with men but, for the first time, Geri Halliwell has dished the dirt on her disastrous dates. The 30-year-old singer and TV presenter - recently linked with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst - says since moving to Los Angeles she has been out with seven men and none came up to scratch.

"The first one was a bit uptight - too effeminate, possibly gay," she says in her updated version of her book Just For The Record. "With the second I put a note through his door but got no reply! The third was a lapdog - he wanted to move in after our first date. "The fourth was a serial texter and couldn't get beyond that. "Number five was trying to overly impress, telling me his bank balance and offering me career advice... I quite liked number six but wasn't sure what we had in common. "And as for my 'lucky' number seven, life just pushed us apart." What a line-up, Gezza. Move over Renee Zellweger - we've found the real-life Bridget Jones!

>Geri: I feared dieting had stopped me having children

Geri Halliwell has confessed she feared she would never be able to have babies because of her obsessive dieting. The former Spice Girl says she got so thin her body shut down and she stopped having periods. It was then she realised she had gone too far. The fuller and, quite frankly, much healthier-looking Geri we’ve been seeing pictures of in Los Angeles lately is a result of her reawakening. She has at last admitted the ultra-skinny body she starved and exercised herself senseless to get was a huge mistake. And she wants to warn other women not to do the same. Geri says: “At one point, regardless of how fit I was looking, my body just wasn’t working properly. “My menstrual cycle had disappeared, unsurprisingly with the weight loss and stress. But the thought of not being able to have children really was a good wake-up call for me. “So nowadays when it’s that time of the month and I feel grouchy and my boobs swell up two cup sizes and my clothes feel tight, I try to see it as a blessing from Mother Nature. “I don’t want to be back abusing myself with food or exercise. “So I eat three meals a day with two snacks, my food portions have increased and my exercise has decreased. “My body has gained a little weight but actually it feels really healthy.” I’ve known Geri since the early days of the Spice Girls and her dangerous obsession with being thin has haunted her like an illness. At one stage during her crazy regime, she was snapped doing yoga in Italy and her painfully thin figure spoke volumes.

I remember meeting her at the album launch for her Scream If You Wanna Go Faster two years ago. She had just flown back from a stay in LA and when she saw me she gave me a hug — and it was disturbing. Her arms were so thin I thought they might snap if I held her too tight. Now at last, at the age of 30, she seems to be happy with her body. And it’s nice to see Geri looking healthy and at her best again — with a womanly figure. Geri tells all about her new-found happiness in an updated version of her autobiography, Just For The Record. She says: “My story shows it doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve got. We all have to struggle with ourselves. “I am pretty well off, I can pay my bills, I own my house and I don’t really have to work. I am fit and healthy, I have lovely friends and a wonderful family. “But none of that is the key to happiness. “I have learned that the only thing that enables someone to be happy is self-acceptance.” She also talks for the first time about the Spice Girls’ reunion dinner, in February, and says they will NEVER get back together — unless it’s for a charity gig. She says: “A reunion? Things that were such a moment in time are hard to recapture, like an intense, burning love affair that can’t last and is hard to reignite. I would be afraid it would never be the same again. “Never say never, though. If it was a fun charity thing, who knows? Imagine us five with our Zimmer frames doing the zig a zig aah.”

The new version of Just For The Record (Ebury Press) goes on sale from June 5 at £7.99.

>Geri looks in peek shape

Cheeky Geri Halliwell shows she’s shipshape and bristol fashion by gawping at her own boobs. Geri, 30, whipped open her white top in open view of drivers in a Hollywood car park then gave herself the once over. One onlooker said: “She got out of her car and in front of a pal she peeked at her breasts and began to feel them. Then she went swaggering down the street. There didn’t look to be any problems in that department for me.” Ex-Spice Girl Geri has recently filled out after quitting cigarettes. She obviously just wanted to check on her comeback.

>Dunga-Geri's still a star

Casual Geri Halliwell hides her normal slim look under baggy dungarees as she chats on her mobile after an acting class. Ex-Ginger Spice Geri, 30, also visited a Hollywood supermarket, where she kissed a girl pal. She wore no make-up and had wild hair. But she’s still a star over-all.

>Keep eyes off 'er Calistas

Laughing TV babe Calista Flockhart stops lover Harrison Ford ogling Geri Halliwell’s assets — by putting her hand over his eyes. Calista, 38, noticed the Raiders of the Lost Ark hunk was checking out former Spice Girl Geri’s charms as they chatted at a party in LA. So she jokingly stuck out her arm to block the 60- year-old star’s view — and got a playful hug in return. An onlooker said: “Calista obviously thought Harrison had too good a view of Geri’s boobs. All three saw the funny side when she put her hand over his eyes.”

>Glitch Leads to 'All American Girl' Reshoots

If anybody were actually watching ABC's "All American Girl," they'd probably be outraged. A glitch in the national telephone voting process was discovered by the show's producers early on and attributed to problems with phone service providers. The producers, eager to preserve the integrity of something people are already ignoring in large numbers, ordered all scenes affected by the problem to be reshot. That includes bringing back contestants dismissed as a result of the error. "Once we were informed that the vote may have been affected, we saw no other option than to re-tape the program and give America a second opportunity to vote," says Conrad Green, one of the show's co-executive producers. Featuring former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, former NBA player John Salley and Suzanne de Passe as coaches, "All American Girl" premiered to poor ratings in March and has already migrated over to ABC Family for the remainder of its run. It averaged just over 5.4 million viewers per episode and ranked 129 out of 204 shows between the networks and PAX. The "All American Girl" winner will be announced on the show's Saturday, May 24 finale on ABC Family.
