Athlete David Beckham gave fans what they really, really want this weekend — a sweet glimpse at a mini Spice Girls reunion!

On Monday, November 8, the star athlete took to Instagram with an adorable video depicting wife Victoria Beckham celebrating bandmate Geri Halliwell Horner’s 50th birthday alongside fellow Spice Girls Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton, all dancing to their hit song “Say You’ll Be There.”

“Special celebrating Ginger this weekend and even more special to capture this moment of the girls A friendship for Life ,” Beckham captioned the adorable clip, shared with his 75 million Instagram followers before offering a special shoutout to Melanie Brown — a.k.a Mel B.

“You were missed,” he wrote of the “Spice Up Your Life” songstress.

Despite their cool dance moves, it seems relations within the famous girl group haven’t always been smooth sailing. Just last month, Mel C — a.k.a Sporty Spice — revealed she was once almost ejected from the chart-topping band after lashing out at Posh Spice amid the 1996 Brit Awards.

MEL C ALMOST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE SPICE GIRLS AFTER SHE TOLD VICTORIA BECKHAM TO ‘F**K OFF’

“As we were all leaving, you know we’d all had a little bit of champagne. We were all a little tipsy, probably quite drunk and there was a little incident,” Mel C, now 48, recalled of the ordeal during a recent podcast appearance.

“I told Victoria to f**k off,” she remembered. “We all have these kerfuffles in our lives. It was under my breath. It wasn’t an aggravated or aggressive thing that I did.”

Despite initially dismissing the incident as “nothing huge,” Mel C was ultimately presented with the reality of the situation.

“But the next day the girls told me under no uncertain terms that it was unacceptable,” she said. “Then Simon Fuller, who was our manager at the time, wanted to speak to me. And I was threatened with being ousted from the band if any behavior like that happened again.”

And as evidenced through their decades-spanning career, it seems it never did. After all, friendship never ends!

ROYAL OAK, Mich./ATLANTA, Ga. (Reuters) -Americans on Tuesday cast the final ballots in closely fought elections that will determine whether Republicans win control of Congress, which would give them the power to block much of President Joe Biden’s agenda in the next two years.

Motivated by concerns about high inflation and crime, voters were poised to usher in an era of divided government in Washington, despite warnings from Democrats about the erosion of abortion rights and the undermining of democratic norms.

Thirty-five Senate seats and all 435 House of Representatives seats are on the ballot. Republicans are widely favored to pick up the five seats they need to control the House, while the Senate – currently split 50-50 with Democrats holding the tie-breaking vote – could come down to a quartet of toss-up races in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia and Arizona.

Even before the midterm elections were completed, the 2024 presidential election was taking shape. Former President Donald Trump on Monday sent his strongest hint yet that he would be kicking off his third consecutive White House campaign soon, telling supporters in Ohio that he would be making a “big announcement” on Nov. 15.

Hundreds of Republican candidates have echoed Trump’s false claims that his 2020 loss to Biden was due to widespread fraud are on the ballot this year, including several seeking positions that would give them direct oversight of the 2024 presidential elections in competitive states.

But many voters said they were motivated by frustration with inflation, which at 8.2%, stands at the highest rate in 40 years.

Retiree Robert Sump, 65, said he planned to vote for Republican Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s gubernatorial race, as he thought she would do a better job on economic issues.

“I think that’s the biggest issue right now with the inflation that we’re fighting,” he said.

Polls close starting at 6 p.m. Eastern time (2300 GMT) but the results in close races might not be known for days or even weeks.

More than 46 million Americans voted ahead of Election Day, either by mail or in-person, according to data from the U.S. Election Project, and state election officials caution that it will take time to count all of those ballots. Control of the Senate might not be not known until a potential Dec. 6 runoff in Georgia.

As Election Day began, a senior U.S. cybersecurity official said there is “no specific or credible threat” to disrupt election infrastructure. But officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, said about 20% of their vote tabulation machines were malfunctioning.

There are 36 governors’ races, including campaigns in the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia.

In Congress, a Republican-controlled House would be able to block bills addressing Democratic priorities such as abortion rights and climate change. Republicans could also initiate a showdown over the nation’s debt ceiling, which could shake financial markets, and launch investigations into Biden’s administration and family.

Republicans will have the power to block aid to Ukraine if they win back control of Congress, but analysts say they are more likely to slow or pare back the flow of defense and economic assistance.

A Republican Senate would hold sway over Biden’s judicial nominations, including any Supreme Court vacancy, intensifying the spotlight on the increasingly conservative court.

FINAL PUSH

Some Democratic candidates deliberately distanced themselves from the White House as Biden’s popularity languished. On Monday, the final day of campaigning, Biden headed to Democratic-leaning Maryland, rather than a swing state.

“It’s Election Day, America. Make your voice heard today,” Biden, who cast his ballot in early voting in Delaware, said in a Twitter post on Tuesday morning.

At a polling station in Florida, Trump predicted success for his Republicans. “I think we’re going to have a great night,” he said. He said he voted for the re-election of the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, a potential rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

The Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn the nationwide right to abortion had galvanized Democratic voters around the country, temporarily raising the party’s hopes they could defy history.

But stubbornly rising prices have left voters dissatisfied despite one of the strongest job markets in history.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll this week showed more than two-thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, with just 39% approving of the way Biden has done his job. Trump’s polling is similarly low, with just 41% of respondents to a separate recent Reuters/Ipsos poll saying they viewed him favorably.

The prognosis has left some Democrats questioning the party’s campaign message, which centered on protecting abortion rights and American democracy.

“What we’ve seen over the last month is political gravity begin to reassert itself,” said Jacob Rubashkin, an analyst at the nonpartisan forecaster Inside Elections. “Voters care a lot about the economy, and they blame Biden for inflation.”

Biden and other Democrats have sounded the alarm over Republican contenders who have either echoed or refused to contradict Trump’s false claims that he lost the 2020 election due to widespread fraud.

The prevalence of election deniers among Republican candidates has elevated down-ballot races that typically receive little attention.

In swing states such as Nevada, Arizona and Michigan, the Republican nominees to head up the states’ election apparatus have embraced Trump’s falsehoods, raising fears among Democrats that, if they prevail, they could interfere with the 2024 presidential race.

Those concerns swayed even some Republican leaning voters like Henry Bowden, 36, an Atlanta lawyer who said he voted for a mix of Republican and Democratic voters.

“I was really trying not to vote for any of the Republicans that are too much in Trump’s pocket and all the election denial stuff. I was very tired of that,” he said.

A New York City gang has raised fears among the LGBTQ+ community following the deaths of two men, RadarOnline.com has learned.

A group of two to three men is at the center of attacks that are targeting the community. The gang is suspected of luring victims from nightclubs and bars in the Hell’s Kitchen district, drugging them, and then robbing them — even using victims’ own cellphones as means to drain their bank accounts.

However, no arrests or charges have been brought against the suspects.

33-Year-old John Umberger, a political consultant from Washington D.C., and Julio Ramirez, 25, both went missing under eerily similar circumstances in May and April 2022, respectively.

Both men were last seen enjoying the city’s gay scene. When their bodies were discovered both were without cellphones and each had thousands stolen from their bank accounts.

While the circumstances of their deaths cause great concern among New York City’s LGBTQ+ community, no warning has been issued from police or city authorities.

The lack of urgency has caused some, including a victim’s mother, to allege Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of “impeding” the investigation efforts.

“I can’t be quiet anymore,” said Linda Clary, the mother of Umberger, told the New York Post.

“Word needs to get out, especially in the gay community, that they are targeting gay men. This same group of killers have drugged, robbed and murdered countless young gay men in New York,” Clary added.

Clary went on to speak of the city’s rising crime and the gay community remains under threat of the gang who killed her son.

“New York is unnecessarily unsafe, and it breaks my heart because John was so excited to be in Manhattan. He loved being there. He was a little ray of sunshine,” the grieving mother continued, “We need to stop this.”

Clary claims that DA Bragg is “refusing to prosecute my son’s killers,” after police diligently worked to identify two suspects from the gang, however, DA Bragg has not allowed charges or arrests to be made.

Video footage captured both victims’ final hours and helped police trace their steps from restaurants to bars.

Toxicology reports revealed both men died of an overdose after their drinks were spiked with a date rape drug.

Nancy Pelosi ripped Elon Musk for using his newly acquired Twitter platform to spread “destructive” conspiracy theories connected to the attack on her husband, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The surprising development came this week after Musk took to his new social media platform to retweet a “fake and defamatory” story suggesting the House Speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was attacked on the morning of October 28 after meeting his future attacker, David DePape, at a San Francisco gay bar earlier in the night.

“There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye,” the billionaire Tesla founder wrote in a now-deleted post alongside a link to the also now-deleted story by the Santa Monica Observer.

During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday, House Speaker Pelosi said it is “really sad for the country” that individuals like Musk, with their powerful platforms like Twitter, can “separate themselves from the facts and the truth in such a blatant way.”

The 82-year-old politician further called Musk’s behavior “destructive” and acknowledged the fact there is “no common ground” between her and the eccentric billionaire Twitter CEO.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Musk was just the latest high-profile person forced to delete a post suggesting “there might be more” to the attack on Paul “than meets the eye.”

Last week, Newsmax host Greg Kelly was also forced to delete a tweet claiming the House Speaker staged the violent early morning assault on her husband.

“Just ‘wondering’ if Nancy Pelosi tried to STAGE her own mini January 6th. Complete with leaving the doors and windows OPEN for ‘insurrectionists’ and this [DePape] fellow,” Kelly wrote in his tweet.

“THAT or she can’t secure her home or office!” the Newsmax host added.

Despite the conspiracy theories surrounding the incident, and claims made by the likes of Musk and Kelly, authorities have confirmed Paul was attacked by suspected assailant David DePape, who broke into the couple’s Pacific Heights, San Francisco, home looking for the House Speaker.

DePape was quickly arrested following the attack, in which he allegedly bludgeoned Paul in the head with a hammer. The 42-year-old suspect has been charged with one federal count of assault of an immediate family member of a United States official and one federal count of attempted kidnapping of a United States official.

House Speaker Pelosi’s husband was released from the hospital on Thursday. While Nancy said he has a long road ahead of him, he is expected to make a full recovery.

“Paul remains under doctors’ care as he continues to progress on a long recovery process and convalescence,” she said in a statement late last week. “He is now home surrounded by his family who request privacy.”

Cher doesn’t need to turn back time because she’s happy with her man in the present. The Strong Enough singer, 76, confirmed she’s dating Amber Rose‘s ex Alexander “AE” Edwards, 36, and he’s already met her family, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Cher broke their relationship down on social media over the weekend, just days after she was spotted holding hands on a date with the much younger music executive. Despite the four decades age gap, the fashion icon made it clear that “love doesn’t know math” when responding to a fan’s question about her being 40 years his senior.

Revealing “AE” treats her “like a queen,” Cher told her followers that the pair met at Paris Fashion Week last month. When it comes to her romance with “AE,” the Believe hitmaker brushed off the negativity.

Not only are fans concerned about their massive age gap, but “AE” cheated on his last girlfriend (Rose) with 12 women — and made a mockery of his serial infidelities by laughing about it on the radio.

Rose and Cher’s new lover share a three-year-old son, Slash.

But the songbird shook off her followers’ concerns.

“I’m Not Defending us. Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’t Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone,” Cher insisted, adding that “everyone in the family has” met him.

When someone brought up his cheating past, she responded, “I’m in love, not blinded by it.”

As RadarOnline.com reported, Cher and “AE” made headlines when they were spotted hand in hand during an intimate dinner for two at the paparazzi-plagued restaurant Craig’s in West Hollywood.

The two couldn’t get enough of each other, and after dinner came dessert.

Rose’s ex was photographed sweetly kissing Cher’s hand as the couple got into their SUV and headed off into the night — but they didn’t go home.

Cher and “AE” met up with the music executive’s best friend Tyga at camera flashing central The Nice Guy, where the trio enjoyed a few after-dinner drinks and dancing.

Despite the 40-year age gap and all the haters, Cher showed “AE” that she’s got him, babe.
