The Spice Girls reunited

Geri Halliwell thinks Victoria Beckham has "lost" the spirit of the Spice Girls.

The group - made up of Victoria, Geri, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C - are all expected to be on stage for the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games in August, but a close friend of Geri has claimed she does not believe her and Victoria will remain in touch after the event. "After the Olympics I can't even imagine even talking to her again, let alone being on a stage with her. Mel B was right; she has lost the spirit of the band," a source said.

The Killers Had a ‘Good Feeling’ About New Single

The Killers, The Killers' Brandon Flowers had a "good feeling" as soon as he heard their new single.

The rock band's frontman knew straight away "Runaways" was the perfect anthem to get fans excited about the band's new record, Battle Born, when they were writing it.

"When I heard that march that catapults the song forward, I knew there was something special about it. It definitely has a couple of 'brothers' on this record. It's a great starting point, but there are more styles as well... We've never hid our influences, and we've always been loud and proud," he said.

"Runaways" was released a week early on July 10 due to mass demand from radio stations. The track is the band's first since 2008s Day & Age, and took a year to make, working with five different producers.

The 16GB Google Nexus 7 is officially sold out

Google Nexus 7 16GB

It looks like the Google Nexus 7 tablet has become a runaway success, catching even Google and Asus off-guard. In fact, Google has suspended sales of the 16GB Nexus 7 in its Google Play store due to the massive backorder. Oddly, the cheaper $199 8GB model was the one that the masses have snapped up. Instead, the $249 model has been flying off the virtual shelves. Orders that were placed through last week will arrive on schedule, and we suspect that as soon as stock is replenished, Google will get the 16GB Nexus 7 back on sale. If you really want one of the Jelly Bean-powered 16GB tablets, there are plenty on eBay.

Vanessa Paradis and Johnny DeppJohnny Depp wants to rekindle his relationship with Vanessa Paradis.

The Dark Shadows actor has flown to the South of France in a bid to patch things up with the model and has given her an antique gold pendant bearing the message "My heart is always with you."

A source close to the couple - who were together for 14 years and had two children, Lily-Rose, 13, and 10-year-old Jack, together - told The Sun on Sunday newspaper, "They are having a family holiday to show the kids they are still a strong family even if those two are split or not. But the fact he presented her with such a touching gift, it's almost as if they could make another go of things. Johnny wants to be with his family, he's a very family orientated man. His kids mean everything to him. What they need more than anything is to get together far away from Hollywood and that is what they are doing."

Morgan FreemanMorgan Freeman has donated $1 million to Barack Obama's re-election campaign.

The Dark Knight Rises actor joins the likes of Bill Maher and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffery Katzenberg in delivering millions of dollars to the operation, and Morgan has praised the Democrat president's history of working on "tolerance."

"He ended combat operations in Iraq, put in place sensible reforms of Wall Street, saved the auto industry and protected the health care of every American. He has led our nation to be more tolerant and placed impressive, accomplished women on the Supreme Court. In return, he is the target of hundreds of millions of dollars from right-wing sources. I am proud to lend my voice - and support - to those who defend him. Priorities USA Action is doing a great job of protecting the values I believe in. I am happy to help them and I hope others will join me."
