Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm and her husband Thomas Starr introduce Scarlet to the media.  Scarlet was born on February 22, but the couple decided to keep it as private as possible from the media.  Today, they gave the media the first picture of their baby girl. Melanie posted on her website that she “is happy for a picture to be released as she knows her fans are eager to see a picture of Scarlet. She also hopes that any media interest will be satisfied and her privacy continue to be respected.”

Scarlet and Mel both look great in the picture that was released of them. I wonder if Scarlet will have a Spice Girl baby furniture set in her room! I think we might have a new musical sensation on our hands if Mel could teach Scarlet her dance moves. All jokes aside, I just want to say good luck to Scarlet and the Starr family.

Joining the Spice Girls is a new little one! Melanie Chisholm gave birth in London to a baby girl, Scarlet Starr, on Sunday, February 22nd. The first child of Mel C and partner Thomas Starr weighed 8 lbs., 3 ounces. Melanie and Thomas announced the pregnancy back in September. The delivery is amusing, occurring just a few days after fellow Spice Girl, Victoria, celebrated the fourth birthday of her youngest boy, Cruz David Beckham. I can't wait to see Mel C's addition to the Spice Kids!

The Spice kids got their 15 minutes in the limelight during their moms' rendition of the hit song "Mama" in London recently.

Dressed in black t-shirts with POSH emblazoned across the front, Brooklyn Romeo and Cruz Beckham joined their beaming mom, Victoria, while Mel B's daughters, Phoenix Chi and baby Angel Iris joined her. Fans ooh-ed and aww-ed when four month old Beau was brought onstage by his mom, Emma Bunton. The only baby Spice missing was Geri's one-year-old girl Bluebell Madonna, the UK's Daily Mail reports.

The 'take your kids to work' day must have been a bit tough on Mel C, however. The only Spice Girl yet to have children, she says she is eager to start popping them out with her property developer boyfriend Thomas Starr.

Seems like a Chicken pox epidemic might be on the horizon for the seven offspring of the Spice Girls.

The group's comeback tour is reportedly in jeopardy after the second case of the disease hit the kids.

Extra TV is reporting that 18-month-old Bluebell, the daughter of Geri Halliwell, caught chickenpox from Victoria Beckham's son. 

Bluebell caught chickenpox from Cruz," Halliwell told British show GMTV. "She's now completely pelted now so I left her at home. Normally they're running around the set."

Victoria has three sons, Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 5, and Cruz, 2; Mel B. has two children, Phoenix Chi, 8, and baby Angel Iris; and Emma Bunton has a baby boy, Beau.

It was almost like a Spice Girl reunion when almost all of the former Spice Girls got together for Geri Halliwell's 11-month-old baby's Christening. Victoria Beckham, aka "Posh", is Bluebell Madonna's Godmother.

All of the ladies were at a London church on Sunday except for Melanie Brown, who recently had a baby. A source tells People, "It was a very special Spice day."

So the rumor is that the Spice Girls will be having a reunion. But according to People, Mel Chisholm, a former Spice Girl, this is untrue but she doesn't rule it out for the future.

"It's not all me – I've spoken to the other girls and one of them thinks it's great but the others don't think it's a good idea." Of course not, two of the Spice Girls, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton and Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, are pregnant. Victoria "Posh" Beckham is in the process of moving with her husband and children. As for Mel, aka Sporty Spice, recorded her own version of Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy" for the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. She is also releasing her fourth solo album, This Time, in the UK on April 2. "We have discussed that if there was a fantastic event that we felt would benefit from the attention [a reunion] would bring, we would consider that as a one-up, but there is no time this year as everyone is very busy with personal or professional things."

They are all involved in some huge transitions and now is not the right time for a reunion. I would love to see it happen though!

Melanie Brown, former Scary Spice from the Spice Girls, had her baby shower over the weekend. She has had a lot of stress since she got pregnant and this was a relaxing time for her to be with friends and family.

Melanie, 31, held the shower at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a private room and there were about 30 guests. According to People, the shower featured a cake in the shape of a woman's pregnant belly clad in an animal-print loin cloth. Guests were also treated to plenty of Dom Pérignon champagne.

The ultimate question is the paternity of this unborn child. Melanie insists that the baby is Eddie Murphy's. The two dated in the summer for a short while right after his divorce from Nicole Mitchell. Soon after, he started dating film producer, Tracey Edmonds. He has denied paternity and wants a blood test. Melanie has been very upset over the situation but we should find out when the baby is born in a month.

Move over Victoria, Gerri and Mel B! It's Baby Spice's turn to be a mom! People has confirmed that former Spice girl, Emma Buton, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jade Jones. The couple have been together for eight years and Jade, 27, is a former member of the British band, Damage.

"I guess I will be handing over the 'Baby' tag now to a deserving little new owner," Emma, 31, said in a statement. The sex of the baby and the due date were not released. The couple said, "We are so happy, it's unbelievable news. What a great start to the New Year."

This is great news for Bunton - who was probably doubting anything like this would ever happen. In 2000, she had pre-cancerous cells removed from her cervix. Last year, she was diagnosed with endometriosis. The disease is a painful condition and can lead to infertility. 

In December, she told the U.K.'s The Mirror that she hoped to have a baby of her own, but feared she might not be able. "Obviously I'd like to try for my own first," she said. "But I would be open to adoption."
