section:
http://www.torget.se/users/a/amyl/index2.htm
--------------
Geri tied down for three months
June 23 1998 from Smash Hits magazine
According to Smash Hits "a friend of Geri's" said that "Geri is still under
contract for the next three months, so she can't do anything yet. But you'll
be hearing from her very soon." They also say Geri is rumoured to start her
own TV and radio production company.

I reckon it probably is true, I think the trixie site is fairly reliable
(albiet not as reliable as the NZ tv guide), and besides, the story doesn't
really sound that outrageous. You can bet the arseholes at Virgin records
would want to stop her doing anything else as long as possible.

Work it out!! 3 months coincides with the end of the tour (ish). Virgin/EMI
don't want any problems until their money is in the bank. If her contract was
anything like Simon Fullers she'll get paid until all the projects she was
involved in come to an end.

Ya, I'm pretty reliable most of the time :o)
But actually, I know Smash Hits isnt the MOST reliable of sources for any
kind of info, but I thought it very likely to be true, so I quoted it...
Still, its weird, cause she already broke the contract when skipping the
tour, so what's it matter now really? arrr legal shit!
also, wouldnt this mean that the other four are also only under contract
for another three months...

I guess if they'd leave the Girls they would. I'm not sure. The more I think
of it, the more I can see it happening, since Geri would still be under
contract for the tour. But like you said, she already broke her contract so
it shouldn't matter much I guess. And I'd hope her lawyers would work around
that...
Sta...@my-dejanews.com
Her lawyers are smart. A contract is null & void once either party breeches
the agreement in any way. GH is free to do whatever she wants. The other
side to that coin is that the contract in question also defines what moneys
she is entittled to. The contract is null, but if she goes showing blatant
disregard for the ideological basis of that contract (i.e. what everyone
agreed was fair before the contract was drawn up) by "doing whatever she
wants", before the lawyers have a chance to hammer out the monetary issues,
then the SG lawyers are going to have a field day taking her for everything
she's worth. Keep in mind that a lot of "what she's worth" is not in her
bank account yet. It's tied up in royalties. And there is the issue of her
leaving during a world tour. According to that contract, she's entittled to
moneys from US ticket sales, regardless of her presence at any of the shows.
If she continues to keep her head down & her feet moving for the next few
months, & makes a good faith effort to abide by what's left of that contract,
the financial settlement won't hit her so hard.
I'd like to see GH back in the spotlight soon too! I think she appeals to
many demographic & socio-economic groups. And whether she does or not, she
appears to care about people & social issues. There are not a lot of public
figures with that combonation. Good Luck Geri!

You hit the nail on the head. Without a doubt, Geri was the most likeable of
the Spices. She has a wonderful personality, and she seems very kind. She is
not perfect of course, but she was head and shoulder above the other Spices
(hehe, I'm sure someone will insert a height joke here, plz don't let me down
Rod), and I'm sure her post-Spice career will further this trend.

Not so long ago you said Victoria was your fav, and then you said Mc
was your fav, so how can she be head and shoulders above the others?

She's been my fave for about 5 months now, she was a spice girl up until a
month ago. Do the math :Ž

Exactly. That is why either : 1) this story isn't true, or 2) Geri has some
really sucky lawyers.

Perhaps if you had more writing talent you wouldn't feel the need to

If she truly cared about the Liberian homeless and the split was friendly
as everyone says then I would think she would have worked out a way to quit
but still been able sing at the event, maybe as a farewell concert.
You make it sound like Geri was thinking "Oh, I'm not in the Spice Girls
anymore. I don't have any responsibilities. I care about breast cancer but
not about a war-torn nation and its people whose lives have been
destroyed."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I
guess we're going tag team on this one Ron... Steve, GH has been involved in
a multitude of charities for under-priviledged children and battered women
over the past four years. It's unfortunate that she was not present at the
event, but she did not have a responsibility to be there. We still do not
know the story behind her departure. I think they wanted her out & made her
uncomfortable enough that she quit. You didn't see any of the other girls
knocking down her door with an invitation to make a "good-bye" performance
did ya? Everybody but them extended a plea. It doesn't matter. The point
is that if she didn't care about people, she would not have done all the
charity work that she's done. You're not breathing deeply are you?

I just wonder what would have happened if the entire group had
self-destructed, getting all 5 off the hook (and leaving Pavarotti without
a group guaranteed to draw a crowd). I simply find the idea of dumping
responsibility to be very irritating.

It already has. Sweden. Children's Charity. Spice Girls were the ONLY
draws. The charity set to lose a million over it. And for no good reason
other than a few of the girls didn't like the fact that the press was
going to boycott them.
Yet, somehow, you're not criticising that. I think ditching a charity
event because 4 of the 5 other people on stage with you *don't want you
there* is perfectly acceptable, particularly considering that one is set
to put their time into another charity.
How much have you donated recently?
Cheers,
Lulu

Yes, of course, but no one besides the 4 remaining Spice Girls has claimed
that the split was amicable. Geri herself hasn't even said that, and
certainly none of their publicists have. Of course, it's not likely that
the remaining 4 are going to say, 'Yep, Scary's a raging bitch' or
something to that effect, so they have to say they were 'shocked' by the
end.

To play devil's advocate, what's wrong with that? Breast cancer has
affected her. War-torn nations have not.

Some kind of bizarre legal shit. Geri said she wanted to be there but couldn't
due to legalities. Maybe she could have been there but didn't want to <shrug>
Anyway, why give a rat's ass about this? It's in the past and can't be redone.

Again, if the split was friendly like all the Girls claim then there
shouldn't have been a problem in working out a way for her to perform at a
charity event.
OTOH, if all the Girls are lying and the split was bitter then I can see
why it didn't happen.

I stand corrected. Now I have to wait for Geri's tell-all book.

Honestly I don't find anything wrong with that. It just seems that a public
figure not showing up at a charity for which she was scheduled to appear
looks bad.
BTW, do you know if Iman ever did any charity work for Somalia (which AFAIK
is still self-destructing)?

I hadn't heard about the Swedish one (although that doesn't make her look
any better). I give a lot (it's called welfare/Social Security) but I don't
make public promises and then not follow through. If Geri helps out breast
cancer research then great for her and for people everywhere. It still
doesn't erase the stigma of letting down the folks she skipped out on.

This is becoming a mute point. You don't approve of her decision. The rest
of us don't feel she had a decision to make; *they didn't want her there*.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I respect that. HOWEVER, are you a
GH fan, or are you just in our sand box causing trouble? -rlm

-------------------
"she was scheduled to appear"...?
Hoy! One last time! 1.) The SPICE GIRLS were booked for the show. 2.)
Geri is no longer a Spice Girl. 3.) The Spice Girls performed at the venue.
People came. They made lots of money. They probably made just as much as if
she'd have been there. I mean let's face it, if you pay to go to a charity
event where somebody famous is going to be playing, and they do not make the
event, do you ask for your money back on your way out the front gate? Or, if
you know they can't make it far enough in advance, do you just not go to the
event at all? If you answer yes to either of these questions, than I hope
you realize that makes you worse than what you're accusing GH of being. It
means you really don't care about people or the cause you came to "support",
only about who showed up to "entertain" you.
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your arguement, but it seems that the
"people" you are defending are the ones who would have answered "yes" to one
of those questions. I don't mean to put you down. I thought everyone here
was supposed to be a supporter of GH.

"I'll never again work with those women" Doesn't sound too friendly of a
split to me. So, now that you have your answer, I hope you'll join us on
other threads and stop bitching about this :)

If I care about supporting the cause I'll donate money regardless of
whether or not they have a star-studded event. If I go to a charity concert
I expect to see the previously announced performers to be there.
Actually I am a supporter of Geri. I'm still a little angry that she isn't
doing the US leg of the tour.

I was too. In fact, I thought long & hard about getting rid of my tickets,
but I keep hearing that the re-choreographed show is fantastic. I'm not
thrilled she won't be there, but I've decided I'm going to go & have a great
time anyway. If leaving was the right thing for her to do in this stage of
her life & career, then good for her. I'd rather feel good about that, than
bitter about her absence from the show. I hear ya though.

I know that Iman has worked on an 'awareness documentary' about the
country, but beyond that, I don't know.

It should be interesting to see if the Girls keep up their practice schedules.
It should be noted that Geri was the one who made the Girls practice and get
their act together.

btw, off topic I know, but who is doing the managerial stuff now that Geri
left?

No offence, I like Vicky too still, but she just doesn't seem to be the leader

Noahide Videos Bible
Angels of Hope
Gloryel and Daniel
Pleasant days. Gentle days. Humble days. Daniel, after all is said and done, seemingly getting over it. Finally, seemingly, getting over it.
Gloryel took the load out of the washing, filled the basket and waltzed outside, her headphones on, listening to a Mozart Concerto, happy in her world of contented love. She put the clothes up one by one, the socks, shirts, skirts and pants. The pegs were good pegs – plastic Eternya pegs which Daniel had recently purchased, and would last forever. Well done hubby. When the clothes were up she looked at them, dripping in the light, the water cascading downwards, to the grass, perhaps splashing some unfortunate ant, or other bug. Disappearing into the earth of the heavenlies, finding its home. Perhaps to return somehow, but in mysterious ways beyond the knowledge of Gloryel. Heaven had always been strange to Gloryel. It was like a mystery, in many ways. Held together, perhaps only by the fidelity of God. Physical laws? They had made sense on earth. In heaven everything was backwards. But perhaps it was meant to be. The true power of life. The true power of God. She looked at the water, dripping down, looked at the clothes in the heat of the day, and wondered if they were happy. It was a recent thought, so Daniel had claimed, that things, even mundane objects in heaven, had a spirit of sorts. A true animistic idea for which Daniel was truly famous for. Were her clothes happy? Did they enjoy being washed? Did they enjoy being cleaned? Gloryel knew she certainly did and their cat, Mushroom, which was over near the bushes, in the shade, currently licking herself, also obviously enjoyed being cleaned. But did clothes enjoy it? Water. The stuff which cleansed. Oh, a little soap never hurt, but Daniel preferred his stuff washed just with water, and Gloryel did not object. Water? How did it clean? Oh, chemical reactions she supposed. Washing away loose particles of dirt and gunk from clothes – clothes more strongly knitted together through their atomic connections than the dirt, which was more loose, and able to be dislodged by the cleaning agency of H2O. Water. Cleaning. And more – for drinking. To quench thirst. And, of course, to cleanse the inner system. And the more you drank, usually, the weight stayed away, which was ever so important for a typically vain spice girl of renowned weight fluctuations. She stood there, looking at the dripping water, when Daniel yelled ‘Babe. Were are you?’ and so she disappeared back inside, looked at the fast food he had brought home for dinner, and looked forward to enjoying the new movie just made – Titanic 47, yet another instalment in the epic series.
* * *
Daniel looked at the ice block. It was the last one in the freezer. ‘Do you mind babe?’ he asked her, pulling it out, giving her his best ‘poor me’ look. She wanted to complain. It was hot. It was the last one. ‘Go on, then. I’ll have some ice water.’
‘Thanks babe.’
5 minutes later, sitting out the back, watching the neighbours a little, she sipped her water, and thought again on the purity of the stuff. Simple chemicals. Simple energy, apparently, from the source of all life – God. Apparently spirit matter filled everything – the whole universe – and the spirit of God moulded such stuff into life and other useful things, for his entertainment, and to impart his children into the grand adventure of it all. Water – one of the fundamentals. But, supposedly, 5 elements. Fire. Very hot. Earth – solid. Wind – Free as a bird. And then, the most intense, the ecstasy of Plasma. The fifth element.
5 elements – the basis of existence. The matter of the physicality of the spiritual realm. 5 Elements, and 5 of the angels claimed them. But the other two? Saruviel at 6 and Michael at 7? What on earth represented them? The unknown elements? The unknown powers? Who knew.
* * *
‘So, babe, you wanna go see a movie. The new ‘Freerider’. It should be great. Saruviel never stuffs up with his epics.’
‘Maybe,’ she responded, sipping on water. ‘But I really want to cleanse myself at the moment. To understand something. To ascertain a mystery.’
He looked at her quizzically. ‘What mystery?’
‘We’ll have to wait and see, dear Daniel. We will have to wait and see.’
‘Oh, ok. Well let me know if you find your answer. I’m off to see Freerider.’
‘Bye,’ she responded. And he was gone.
She sipped on her water, purifying herself. She needed to be clean. She would wash 7 or 8 times tonight. Cold showers. Scrubbing a lot. Perfectly clean. Then she would sit in the quiet room, and pray, and think. The sixth element? And the seventh? What could they possibly be?
The music of Enya made her at peace, and as Boudicea the extended version entered her heart, she found the sixth inside. It was darkness. A very, very, dark spirit. Very, very cold. Capable of Absolute Zero – of absolute nothing. Frozen in time, frozen in heart, at peace with the darkness, cold, but a cool breeze to soothe what she knew the seventh to be. The eternal power and wrath of the Almighty one. Michael, God’s favoured child. The seventh son. The power of God. White light. A burning power beyond the heat and intensity of Plasma. Excruciatingly powerful and strong. A blaze of absolute glory. BUT, as they say, it was always darkest before the dawn. ALWAYS.
*
Daniel watched Freerider catch the bad guys, rescue the maiden, get a kiss, and save the day. Another typical classic. Well done Saruviel.
He ordered water from the movie canteen. He drank it all. He ordered two more bottles. He drank them all. He needed to be suddenly clean. Something in him was telling him this.
When he got home Gloryel was naked, and she kissed him, and they sat in the cool of the night, drinking ice water.
‘I have found what I needed to find. Understanding.’
‘Did you work out 8?’
‘Huh? What was that Daniel?’
‘Nothing babe. Lets fuck.’
‘Hmm. Men.’
The End
